From Wikipedia:The1939 royal tour of CanadabyKing George VIandQueen Elizabethwas undertaken in the build-up of world political tensions to the imminentSecond World War(1939-1945), as a way to shore up sympathy for theUnited Kingdomamong her dominions and allies, should war break out inEurope. The tour lasted a month, from 17 May to 15 June, covering everyprovince in Canada, along with the then separateDominion of Newfoundland, and a few days south in the adjacentUnited States. It demonstrated and cemented Canada\'s allegiance tothe Crownand its status as the seniorDominionof the thenBritish Empire(futureCommonwealth of Nations). There had been previousroyal family tours in Canada, but, the 1939 tour was unprecedented, both due to the fact that it was the first visit toNorth Americaby the reigning monarch, as well as in its wide scope and public / media attention. The tour was an enormous event of the time, attracting huge crowds at each new city.
