    Prime Minister Robert Borden and Canada’s Role in the British Empire

    When WW1 started in 1914, Britain controlled Canada’s foreign policy. As the war raged, Canadians disagreed over Canada’s future role in the British Empire. But some people sided with the Conservative Prime Minister Robert Borden, who wanted Canada to remain in the British Empire. His government used Propaganda to keep Canadian patriotism at a high pitch, during the War. To maintain the strength and numbers at the front lines, Prime Minster Robert Borden passed the Military Service Act in July 1917. The act introduced Conscription-forced military service. The conscription divided Canada, but it made little difference to the war effort. In 1919 , when Canada had to go the peace conference held in Paris, Robert Borden argued that Canadians’ wartime record give them the right to sit independently because even at that time Canada was still controlled by Britain. And Canada also signed the treaty by itself. Robert Borden did make huge difference in Canada’s identity by taking that small step and he made the world realize that we can be an independent country too.…

    Even though each soldier would have been involved in some form of continual conflict with serving on the front-line (trench rapids, snipers, shelling), it is possible to distinguish major battles (or pushes) whose names have gone down in history as some of the bloodiest conflicts ever waged. There were many battles that took place during the war but the most remembered were the five major battles. Those battles are, The Battle of Marne (1914 and 1918), The Battle of Verdun (1916), The Battle of Ypres (1914, 1915, and 1917), The Battle of the Somme (1916), and The Battle of Cambrai (1917). This paper will explain the pros and cons and major details of each battle.…

    It has been estimated that over 4,000 First Nation’s had taken the initiative to serve in the second world war. This is an extraordinary discovery due to the fact that they received very few civil rights in the twentieth century for their heritage. They overcame many barriers to help enlist in the war such as cultural and language barriers that separated them from the other european troops. By overcoming them they produced a new found recognition that would express their sacrifice and achievements to eventually advance their First Nation rights.…

    This is an ambulance, it represents the start of a major turning point in Canadian history when women were welcomed and wanted in the work force. It also symbolizes the first time women served as a part of the military forces allowing them to overcome another obstacle in order to reach their goal of equality. At first, women were discouraged from being involved in the military, but as the war progressed, the government realized that the demand for soldiers was greater than they had originally expected. Although women could not partake in combat, they still helped the soldiers succeed on the battle field by driving tanks and ambulances, delivering messages, sorting mail and many more. Their acceptance in the working society greatly impacted the role of women in Canada from that time to this present day[1]. However, even though the thought of women working was beginning to be recognized, equality in the work area and full acceptance in the labor force was far from perfect.…

    World War I: Analysis

    On the eve of the World War I, no country was prepared for using aircraft or would have even thought about making an effective weapon of war. Several had experimented with dropping bombs from aircraft, firing guns, and taking off and landing from aircraft carriers, but no country had designed or built an aircraft specifically for war functions (Century of Flight). During World War 1, they had made many changed to the aircraft to make it create havoc on the enemy’s. They would add many weapons to the aircraft to make it a deadly air weapon. The would then haul many people and weapons onto the aircraft and shoot from the top of the sky, so no one could really protect themselves (The Air War in Europe 23). Once World War two hit, these aircrafts got more sufficient in making their weapons more deadly. Air warfare was a major component of World War II. It consumed a large fraction of the industrial output of the major powers. Germany and Japan depended on air forces that were closely integrated with land and naval forces. The aviators downplayed the advantage of fleets who were strategic bombers, and were late in appreciating the need to defend against Allied strategic bombing. Britain and the United States took an approach that greatly emphasized strategic bombing, and to a lesser degree, considered control of the battlefield by air, and satisfactory air defenses (Wikapedia). They both built a strategic force of large, long-range bombers that could carry the air war to the enemy's homeland. Simultaneously, they built tactical air forces that could win air dominance over the battlefields, giving assistance to ground troops. They both built a powerful naval-air component based on aircraft carriers, as did Japan; these played the central role in the war at sea (Angelucci 46). Before 1939, all sides operated under largely theoretical models of air warfare. Italian theorist, Giulio Douhet in the 1920’s summarized the faith that airmen during and after World War I developed…
