October Crisis Summary

The October Crisis started on October 5, 1970 when the British Trade Commissioner was kidnapped by a independent, socialist Quebec organisation. During the 1960's, this same group was responsible for over 200 terrorist attacks, but the climax of all the attacks were the kidnappings in the October Crisis. [1] A few days after the first kidnapping, the French organisation kidnapped yet another victim, only this time it was the Quebec Minister of Labour.These events later on helped to define Canada.
