Maritimes

The Maritimes is a term referring to three of Canada's easternmost provinces - New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. This term does not include the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, which is defined with the Maritimes as Atlantic Canada due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

In the lead-up to the creation of the Dominion of Canada in the 1860s, the creation of a Dominion of the Maritimes was considered, before The Canadas (Upper Canada and Lower Canada, aka, The Province of Canada) joined the confederation convention.

The Maritimes in Southern Victory[]

Parts of the Maritimes, including New Brunswick and a portion of Nova Scotia, were quickly occupied by the United States early in the Great War. The rest were surrendered in 1917. In the process, a part of New Brunswick was returned to Maine, whence it had been conquered during the Second Mexican War.
