    World War I -Did Canada benefit from the war?

    Canada was under the authority of the British during World War I so its army was frequently ordered to take the burden of fighting for Britain. Canadian soldiers found themselves poorly prepared during the commencement of this war. They were given defective equipment, like the Ross Rifle, which made it more difficult to fight which then increased the casualty rate. In many battles, the Canadians were forced to go fight the enemy head-on which the chances of them succeeding were close to none, like in The First Battle of Ypres, on April 22, 1915. From this single battle, 6000 Canadian soldiers died. Another awful encounter for Canada was located in Belgium, across the French border, where the battle of Passchendaele took place. When Britain did not succeed to take over Passchendaele, she ordered Canada to fight for it. A Canadian general, Arthur Currie knew that it would be complicated to overtake Passchendaele and tried to protest against it, but could not persuade anyone since Canada was under Britain's control. The Canadian troops attacked on October 26, 1917, and by November 10, after a long battle, they finally were…

    Canada's Contribution to WWII

    Many people know little about Canada's large contribution to World War II and the efforts many Canadians made. Nearly everyone helped out in this war and thanks to the determination of those involved, the allies were victorious in defeating Hitler. Allied victory in World War II was in large part aided by Canadian involvement in the form of women contributing to the war effort, the British Commonwealth Air Training Program (or BCATP), and Canada's change in economy.…

    A Nation Is Born: Canada in World War I

    In 1914 Prime Minister Laurier spoke on behalf of a great many Canadians when he said: “It is our duty to let Great Britain know and to let the friends and foes of Great Britain know that there is in Canada but one mind and one heart that all Canadians are behind the Mother Country.”[3] The Canadians considered themselves a colony of Britain, and showed immediate support for Britain as they went to war. With a contingent of 3,110 men the Canadian expeditionary force was off to Britain. After an accelerated training during the winter of 1915, the Canadians deployed to France with a false sense of preparedness. The battle fields as they had pictured it and the glory they had dreamt about, quickly faded as they embraced the cruel reality of the cold and muddy French battlefields.…

    Canada in World War 1

    Canada’s first great mark on World War I was at the second battle of Ypres. The 1st Canadian division moved to reinforce the British and allied lines. In April of 1915, the Germans unleashed canisters of poison chlorine gas. Carried by the wind, this gas entered allied trenches forcing retreat and countless deaths. Soon however, we Canadians figured out that by urinating on rags and placing them over our mouths and noses we could overcome the gas and continue the fight. By the time they figured this out there were enormous gaps stretching in the allied lines. Many allies had retreated due to the gas so it was up to our boys in uniform to restring the lines and repel the enemy…

    What Is Japanese Internment In Canada

    Prior to WWII, over 22,000 Japanese Canadians lived in British Colombia, with three quarters of them being naturalized or native born Canadians. Since the late 19th century, many Japanese immigrated to Canada, specifically to British Colombia. By 1914, 10,000 Japanese had permanently settled in Canada. However, these people faced massive discrimination once they arrived in Canada. Japanese immigrants were forced to cope with legislated racism, unfair living and working conditions, and a population that wanted them gone. When Japan attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941, this ignited violent hostility towards Japanese Canadians. Immediately following the assault by Japan on Pearl Harbour, Canada declared war on Japan and invoked the War Measures Act to declare every Japanese Canadian an enemy alien, regardless of where they were born and whether they were Canadian citizens or not. The federal government, at the instigation of racist politicians, used the War Measures Act to order the removal of all Japanese Canadians residing with 100 miles of the Pacific coast. In 1942, 20,881 Japanese Canadians were removed from their homes, had their property confiscated and sold, and shipped to internment camps in the interior of British Colombia.…
