A North American City (1914-1929)
From: The History of Montréal
$1.20
This chapter looks at World War 1 and its effects on Montreal. The First World War curbed the sustained period of growth Montreal had enjoyed since the end of the nineteenth century. The city then went through a difficult spell that lasted until the start of the 1920s, which saw Montreal continue its expansion. It now had one million inhabitants and looked every bit a major North American city.
