When did Manitoba and the Northwest Territories join Canada?

1867
1870
1871
1898

The correct answer is: 1870

Manitoba and the Northwest Territories joined Canada in 1870.? Manitoba and the Northwest Territories joined Canada in 1870. This is the correct answer because it was in 1870 when the British Parliament passed the Manitoba Act, which officially established the province of Manitoba and included parts of the Northwest Territories. This act also made Manitoba the fifth Canadian province to join Confederation. The other options are incorrect because A) 1867 marks the establishment of the Dominion of Canada, but Manitoba and the Northwest Territories were not yet part of it at that time; C) 1871 was the year of the British Columbia's entry into Canada, but not Manitoba and Northwest Territories; D) 1898 was the year when Yukon Territory joined Canada, but this option does not mention Manitoba.
