Tony Eisnor is a retired public school teacher with a deep interest in history, particularly the British Empire, which began in elementary school. He earned an Honours Degree in History and a Bachelor of Education from Acadia University, as well as a Master's in Technology in Education from Mount Saint Vincent University. In his free time, Tony enjoys painting, collecting historical figures and militaria, boating, fishing, reading, and farming.

On Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8, Tony Eisnor will be presenting "The Causes and Consequences of the Great War" in the Learning Center at Ross Farm Museum. This presentation will explore the causes and consequences of World War 1 (often known as the Great War) with a particular focus on Canada's involvement. While we often know when and where wars occur, we may not fully understand why they begin, the key events that unfold, or their lasting impacts.

After 116 years, many questions about the Great War remain unanswered—a conflict that toppled empires, altered the world order, and marked the beginning of the modern era. The presentation will cover the long-term factors that led to the war in 1914, significant events during the conflict, and the enduring effects it has had on subsequent wars. Artifacts from that era will also be on display.
