Explain How Ww1 Changed Canada Both Internationally And At Home

The Battle of Somme had a significant impact on Canadian nationalism by uniting people under a shared identity. This battle brought Canadians together against a common cause despite the intensity of the war and the heavy death toll. The majority of the deaths were young men from Newfoundland. The Battle of the Somme was a significant event in the First World War. The bravery and accomplishments of Canadian soldiers there helped establish their growing reputation as skilled defensemen who could face opposition in the face of heavy fire. Before WW1, Canada was merely a Federation that did not have the soul and unity of a nation. Residents did not identify themselves as “Canadians” until this momentous occasion in the war that helped cement the

Canada could have left Britain alone to fight their own war, but Canada showed support and helped them unconditionally. Also the Canadian soldiers went through so much pain and agony in the battle and prison camps. Lastly Canada provided a great deal of hope and support to the once hopeless people in Hong Kong. All these points proves the strength of this red and white nation, and make them a memorable piece of our world history. We should honor and carry on the legacy that the deceased Canadian soldiers left in the trenches and war camps, so that their death was not in

This war provided the first test of Canada’s Royal Navy. The Germans had noticed that Canada had their own Navy. So, in return there were many threats coming from the German Navy from the Atlantic and the Pacific, especially by the German submarines. In 1914 there were no signs of battle happening from the Germans until later. So, Canada was expanding its navy as quickly as it can. This battle happened in 1918. This was a big significance to Canada because it showed that Canada’s own Navy; without Britain’s help is successful.

Losses like the Battle of Second Ypres where 60,000 Canadians died and Battle of the Somme where 600,000 of Allied troops were wounded had a big impact on Canada. The Canadian troops had started to doubt the British leaders. Since Canada had a lack of experience with wars they didn't have many commanding roles. This began to cause resentment but changed in 1916 when Canadians were promoted.

The 3 international events/people since WW1 that have had the most significant impact on Canada’s development are Sir Robert Borden, Women gaining the right to vote, and vimmy ridge. All of these events/people had great impact for Canada in the future.

The events of July and early August 1914 are known as the sparks that lit the explosion of World War I. Uneasy tensions that had been boiling beneath the surface of Europe for many years soon erupted and with that several alliances that were formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; via their colonies, the conflict advanced rapidly. When war officially broke out in 1914, Britain joined in the defense of Belgium and in reaction to Germany's violation of the treaty in which the countries neutrality was to be respected by all other nations. Upon this Britain requested that all dominions of the British Empire, including Canada were to fight on its behalf.

This is significant because it shows Canada doesn’t have to declare war to be successful, and started Canada as a peace keeper country. Therefore, Canada’s unethical decisions throughout World War One was very significant because it helps us learn from our

During the course of the Second World War, Canada evolved into a powerful, resourceful nation that was needed by the Allies. Canada contributed significantly to the Allied war effort during World War II where they fought on land, water and air and assisted indirectly from the home front. On land, they fought in numerous battles and campaigns such as D-Day, Hong Kong, and the Italian campaign. However, they were also strong and resourceful when it came to air and naval forces in battle. But even outside of battle, Canada was still able to make a contribution through its civilians.

This event is a significant event in canadian history because if Canada did not have this navy they would not have had a chance against the Germans and their large navy. It is also a significant event because this war actually helped Canada to improve the Navy and

Traditionally, throughout history the roles of women had remained more or less the same, taking care of the household, children and preparing food. The roles had been set in place long ago, which made it incredibly difficult for women to go beyond this simply because it was out of the ordinary. However WWII was when everything started to change. The role of Canadian women changed drastically over the span of only six years to include responsibilities that were not fixated solely on the home, and instead encompassed roles that helped the war effort directly. Some of these included, working on farms and food production, being employed in factories, and joining female army divisions.

Canadian history courses start with World War 1 because it’s the most significant battle that Canada has been involved in since it was established. I believe it was significant to be the starting point for a course on the history of Canada. It was the bloodiest battle that the country had been involved with thus far, with an approximate total of 61 000 killed and 174 000 wounded. (Legacy – The Cost) Not only was it the bloodiest, it was the most important. I believe this because Canadians managed to prove themselves as a strong and trustworthy ally to the other countries involved. They proved themselves by supplying troops in The Second Battle of Ypres to fight and defend their position on the French lines. Even while outnumbered they managed

World War 2 had a great impact on every aspect of Canada Today. Money became stronger, our power was at its peak and we were an independent country

D-Day was a defining moment for Canada because they proved their power and abilities as a middle power, captured the heaviest defended beach, and covered the most land on the first day. Canada contributed a lot to the war effort during World War Two. I believe that D-Day was more significant to making Canada’s identity than their involvement at Vimy Ridge. Their victory at Juno Beach is known as a turning point which ended World War Two. It was one of the first times Canada fought independently and everyone in Canada including the French Canadian, African Canadian, and women were supporting the effort, which even sparked the change for equality.

War on the home front was not a shaped many Canadian negatively in WWI. The Wartime Elections Act had an effect on Canadians politically. The great influenza affected Canada socially. Lastly, propaganda and victory bonds caused Canada to fall economically. Canada’s home front during WWI had a negative impact on the Canadian people politically, socially and economically.

Not only did the battle affect the way Canadian’s allies saw them, it also affected their enemies. German veterans have told stories about the war, revealing that some Germans feared Canadian soldiers more than soldiers of any other country. At the start of the war, Canadians were not really viewed as independent Canadian soldiers, but rather, soldiers of the British military force. As a result of their achievements at Vimy Ridge, Canada was granted their own seat at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles after the war. Clearly, the battle of Vimy Ridge created Canada as a nation in the eyes of other countries.
