Life in Edmonton city has not always been bliss. However, the city has evolved through various historical episodes and has today reached the stature of a thriving metropolis that attracts innumerable visitors throughout the year. Just before the First World War, the population of Edmonton declined drastically from 72,500 to 54,000. This was due to the sudden end of the real estate boom. Another factor which accelerated the decrease in population was the recruitment of men to the Canadian military during the First World War. However, Edmonton city did recover its population slowly by the Second World War. This slow recovery occurred in 1920s and 1930s.
