When did Manitoba and the Northwest Territories join Canada?

  1. 1867

  2. 1870

  3. 1880

  4. 1898

The correct answer is: 1870

Manitoba and the Northwest Territories both joined Canada in 1870 as part of the Manitoba Act and the British North America Act. Option A, 1867, is when Canada as a whole was formed through the joining of three colonies. Option C, 1880, is incorrect as this is when the Northwest Territories were officially established as a district of Canada, not when it joined as a territory. Option D, 1898, is when the Yukon Territory joined Canada, not Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.
