Canadian history teacher

Hi everyone! I just joined the forum today and this is my first post. I have a quick question a friend had asked me and I was not 100% sure of the answer I gave her, so I told her I would look it up.
If you were to see the following sentence: A Canadian history teacher.
Which of the following would be correct:
1. The teacher is Canadian (from Canada) and teaches history.
or
2. The teacher teaches Canadian history (the subject).
I think it might be the first one, but would anyone know as to why? Thank you very much for your help!
