Answer:

Due to newspaper ads for free land, the population of Alberta increased by more than 500% between 1900 and 1910.

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout the first decades of the twentieth century, thousands of people began to settle in Alberta, attracted by the promise of free land to cultivate, since the economy of the province, until the end of the First World War, depended markedly on the Agriculture.

As a result, in 1901 Alberta had a population of 73,000 people, while ten years later it had risen to 374,000.

The correct answer is five hundred percent.

Because of the free land ads that landed on the newspapers way back the 1900s, Alberta had a 500% increase in population between 1900 and 1910.

Alberta was created in 1905 and is one of the ten provinces of Canada. It is the 4th most populated entity with 4,067,175 inhabitants. It also has one of the most influential economies in Canada.

Until now, the province of Alberta continue to grow because of the oil industry that makes people move into the province.

I hope this information can help you.
