The Newfoundland Crisis, alternatively referred to as the July Crisis by the Communist government in Canada and the Crisis of 1949 in modern Canada, was a geopolitical standoff that occurred over the pro-republican movement in Newfoundland's victory in both a May 1949 snap election and a plebiscite over Newfoundland's status in July of 1949.

The Newfoundland Crisis, alternatively referred to as the July Crisis by the Communist government in Canada and the Crisis of 1949 in modern Canada, was a geopolitical standoff that occurred over the pro-republican movement in Newfoundland's victory in both a May 1949 snap election and a plebiscite over Newfoundland's status in July of 1949. The more ubiquitous "Newfoundland Crisis" term used in the United States and Germany refers to the view in many TATO countries that the crisis was precipitated by events going as far back as 1946, and thus the tensions were a multi-year affair. As a result of the events of July 1949, the "Blue Canadian" government was forced into exile to New York, the Free State of Newfoundland was disbanded violently by the Canadian People's Army and as the exiled Canadians were being evacuated from St. John's, the United States and Canada clashed in a series of incidents that nearly sparked an all-out war between the two nations. It was one of the first major international incidents of the Cold War after the Paris Airlift and was the first one to occur in the Western Hemisphere. American historians later admitted that the Newfoundland Crisis was likely among the closest instances of a Third World War.
