Final answer:

By 1961, the provinces and territories of Canada agreed to send delegates to a Women's War Conference, granted women the right to vote in provincial elections, and introduced conscription during World War I.

Step-by-step explanation:

By 1961, all the provinces and territories of Canada agreed to a number of important actions.

  1. Each province and territory agreed to send delegates to a Women's War Conference held in Ottawa in 1918 to address issues such as child welfare and national health.
  2. The suffragist movement made significant progress during this time, with women gaining the right to vote in provincial elections in several provinces between 1916 and 1922.
  3. In 1917, the Union Government, formed by Conservatives and Liberals, introduced conscription as a controversial measure to replenish the casualties suffered by the Canadian expeditionary force in World War I.
