Taking Sides

• Canada sided with the United States and, along with several other countries, created NATO in 1949

• North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO): an attack on one would be considered an attack on all

WHY? …on your worksheets

Popular Version • U.S. military was jealous of

the Arrow and convinced Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to scrap the project

Historians • The Arrow was way too

expensive for Canada, with costs soaring from $2 million at the start to over $12 million per plane

• It was also too expensive for other countries, so nobody wanted to buy the Arrow
