| Canada shows lots of unique aspects in both its establishment and development process. In this research, the author discovers that Canada's development was based on the product supply for the developed regions. After the changes in the fields of transportation and logistics, Canada rapidly turned into a developed country with the benefit of both the second industrial revolution and its resources superiority. The author proposed an unique angle of view which observes the world from the energy-resource angle and combine the common feature of agrarian revolution and industrial revolution that they both made breakthrough to the limitation of human's energy acquirement. The authors believes that struggle for existence of species are based on the occupation and resonable utilization of the outside resources, especially the energy providable resources. The species who occupied and resonably used more and newer energy and valuable resources were predominant in the struggle for existence. The author attempts to observe history and explain the unique aspects in the development process of Canada by using his unique angle of view which is different from the traditional view of production capability-production relations.The thesis consists of introduction, text, conclusion, and references. The text of the thesis is divided into the following four sections.The first section defines energy, power source, resource and proposes the energy angle of view.In the second section, the author proves the reasonableness of the energy angle of view by using timber as the breakthrough point. In addition, some examples are employed by the author to further prove the resonableness. These examples are as the follows. From the preindustrial age, the food supply of agricultural civilization nations became relatively stable, the engergy provided by these food supply could support more population, therefore they lead for a long time. The European nations were underdeveloped in the early period. However, they grasped the wind energy and explored overseas. Therefore they surpassed the agricultural civilization nations. The autuor also points out that the breakthrough in the fields of transportation and logistics with the utilization of new energy was the historical background of the emergence of overseas territories such as Canada. In the third section, the author gives a stepwise overview of the development process of Canada. The role and significance of bulk production of fur, timber, and wheat to the Canada's development are discussed. Moreover, the author proves that Canada could not become a real great power depend on trade alone by using the facts that Canada experienced trade protection and trade conflicts during its developing process.In the forth section, the author summaries the main point of this thesis by combining previous discussions and the facts that Canada quickly turned into a developed country after the second industrial revolution. The stepwise exploiture of Canada's bulk product provided valuable resources for various economically advanced regions with different energy use condition. The advantages of new energy and valuable resources arised after the second industrial revolution laid the foundation of the rapid development of Canada into a developed country. The advantages of current and future power source (e.g. nuclear power) are the fundamental reasons that Canada do not need to show its mighty image.In conclusion, the author combines the dependence of the present-day life on power sources, and then points out the realistic meaning of the energy angle of view, i.e., the mordern-day international competition is the energy-resource competition in more complicated situations, while Canada has comparative advantages in this kind of competition. The application of these advantages involves the resonable utilization of energy-resource in both economy and technology aspects. In the future, the author will also pay close attention to quantized comparison between various types of energy.
