Germany was divided into East Germany (under Soviet control) and West Germany (allied with the Western powers).

Additionally, it faced challenges in enforcing its decisions and resolving conflicts among member states. Ultimately, the League's failure to prevent the outbreak of World War II highlighted its inability to keep the peace after World War I.

    • Provincial Governments.

    • Canadian Federal Government.

    • British Government.

    Correct Answer
    A. Canadian Federal Government.
    Explanation
    In the 1870s, Indian Nations saw the treaties as pacts with the Canadian Federal Government rather than with the Provincial or British Governments. This is because during this time, Canada was transitioning from a colony of Britain to a federal state. The Indian Nations recognized that the Canadian Federal Government held the authority and responsibility for treaty negotiations and implementation. This shift in perception reflected the changing political landscape and the recognition of Canada as a separate entity from Britain.
