The Upper and Lower Canadian Rebellions of 1837-1838 and the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 were key events in Canadian history, driven by political, social, and cultural tensions. In Upper Canada (Ontario), frustrations with elite control spurred calls for democratic reform, while in Lower Canada (Quebec), French-Canadian resistance to British rule fueled unrest. The Northwest Rebellion, led by Louis Riel, saw Métis and First Nations fighting to protect their lands and way of life against federal policies. These rebellions played a crucial role in shaping Canada's political landscape and identity.
