1945: Dominions of Canada and Newfoundland dissolved, annexed to the United States as the Territories of Canada and Newfoundland

Canada never quite slipped into the kind of crypto-fascist autocracy which consumed the Mother Country. But she teetered on the brink. The economic crisis which came after the Great War was only slightly abated by the short-lived boom of the early 1920s, and after America turned to Industrial Government, Canada turned to Imperial Protection. The National Unity Government managed relatively well until the late 30s when she was dragged into war by Great Britain. The war with the United States was swift, shockingly so considering the size of the country. But while surrender came quickly, it would be a long time before the country was entirely brought to peace.

While the war with the British Empire continued, Canada and Newfoundland (then under direct governance from Westminster) became Military Districts. At the conclusion of the war, in the ensuing peace treaty, British colonies in the New World were annexed to the United States, as were the Dominions of Canada and Newfoundland. The United Farmer-Labour Party affiliated to the American Farmer-Labor Party, bolstering their strength in the United States' Heartland.
