What began as Victory in Europe Day celebrations quickly spiraled into one of the largest civil disturbances in Canadian history — the Halifax VE Day Riots. Thousands of sailors and soldiers flooded the streets after years of war, overcrowding, rationing, and tension between military personnel and civilians had pushed the city to its limits.

By the time order returned, three people were dead, hundreds were injured, and millions of dollars in damage scarred the city.
