Canada 's Influence On Canada

One of Canada’s largest military endeavors was the battle of Vimy Ridge during World War One. It was a fierce battle between Germans and Canadians. Canada was trying to take over the German controlled ridge, which ran from northwest to southwest between Lens and Arras, France. Its highest point was 145 feet above sea level, which was exceptionally helpful in battle because of the very flat landscape. Already over 200,000 men had fallen at Vimy, all desperately trying to take or defend this important and strategic ridge. As a result of its success in taking the ridge, Canada gained a lot more than just the strategic point. Canada was united as a nation, and the victory changed the way other counties viewed them. Canadians no longer

Political interferences have played a great role in economic crisis in the current world, especially in most decisions that gives the direction of the economy. Policies are made according people beliefs and the current situation and matter to address at hand. Ideologies and perceptions are made from past experiences and predictions with an aim to address the upcoming challenges. The Second World War resulted to the great depression and economy collapsed in many countries in the world. Wartime expenditure resulted to mobilization of countries funds and human resources, this resulted intervention in the economy that induced inflation.

As time goes on, some countries become more relevant in the global sphere while others start to fade away. Canada is a country that only becomes more relevant as time goes on. Since being granted full sovereignty, Canada has had a growing role as a major world player. Much of their international growth has to do with its close ties to the United States and the United Kingdom. However, the country has also undergone huge change and refocusing on a domestic level. With influence from both Europe and the United States, Canada has a very unique system of governing. This paper will focus on a few major areas of Canada. It will look into the history of Canada, the structure of its government, its politics, and many of the major issues it faces today.

As Canada became progressively independent, as a country we went through certain events which defined us as who the majority of us are. These events, whether positive or negative have made a lasting impact on our country. Consider when the FLQ became an issue, leading into the October Crisis, the War Measures Act (temporarily) as well as the Canadian Charter Rights of Freedoms being put into place. An example of an overall, mostly positive impact was Terry Fox with the “Marathon of Hope” which he came close to completing before he unfortunately passed away.

During the 1920’s and 30’s, Canada gained political, economic, and social autonomy through several crucial events. To begin with, Autonomy is defined as a nation's independence from another countries obstruction in its domestic affairs, which could simply mean having the power to govern oneself and make one’s own decisions. During the Interwar period, Canada was involved in several events. However, this time around Canada was not just around as Britain’s puppet, but there as a conscious being aware of its own actions. The one similar aspect is that Canada was still quite influenced by Britain and now even America. Otherwise, Canada had started to build up its own autonomy throughout these events in the political, social, and economical properties,

World War One was a Canadian struggle for a respectable place on world stage. However, there were opportunities in Canadian history during the World War One that glorified Canada. Battle of Vimy Ridge was the most glorious Canadian battle that deserves the recognition of "True origin of Canada" as it recognized and identified Canada as a fierce-fighting nation on international scene. Although Vimy Ridge had some casualties, it unified Canadians with nationalism, recognized and earned Canada a place in World affairs as well as moved Canada towards its autonomy from British sovereignty creating and developing a new power in the world by the name of Canada.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Similarly, if a country follows the lead of those around it for the sake of conformity, is it really its own independent, sovereign nation? Canada has been stereotyped as a follower rather than a leader, unlike its neighbours to the south, but when put under analysis this label holds little weight. In the past 100 years, Canada has developed its own unique set of values geared toward peace, freedom, and equality. These values shine through in the way Canada shapes its foreign policy. In such cases as the Cuban Revolution and the Rwandan genocide, Canada has proved itself to go against the status quo in order to do what it thinks is right.

The audience is anyone interested in learning about first nations customs and how they influenced canadian law to make it what it is now. Police officers, lawyers, judges, and anyone who works for the government would also benefit from learning about this since their jobs have to do with the law, learning about the influences on our law is important. People who live in towns with first nations people would also benefit from learning about this because if they live so close to each other, they are bound to talk to each other at some point, so it would be for the best to understand other people’s laws and customs. Classmates would also be one because they don’t know as much about the topic as others might, so this way they can understand another influence on Canadian law.

Canada displays their autonomy through their heroic battle at Vimy Ridge in WW1, declaring war on Germany as an independent country and giving freedom to the Dutch from leading the Battle of Scheldt in WW2. First of all, the battle of Vimy Ridge was very significant and a crucial moment for Canada since she had gained a good reputation with a strong status due to her effective, successful, and formidable impact on the field using great leadership and tactics. By changing their battlefield into their own, Canada commenced the only successful attack against the Germans and “It was Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific on parade. I thought then, and I think today, that in those few minutes I witnessed a birth of a nation.”(). To conclude, Canada’s heavy and excellent contribution at Vimy Ridge displays their autonomy. Secondly, Canada demonstrated their autonomy as an independent country when they declared war on Germany in WW2. In 1867, Canada separated from the British Empire. On their decision for going to war, W.L.M King announced “The Canadian Parliament would decide on what Canada should do.” () Thus, Canada’s decision was autonomous since reveals its independence as a country when they made the decision with the Parliament of Canada without considering Britain’s thoughts. Lastly, Canada had

"A country can be influential in the world by the size of its heart and the breadth of its mind, and that's the role Canada can play," It is through these international affairs that have strengthen Canada economically and

There are several unique individuals and groups that have contributed to Canada’s autonomy and success. These 3 individuals are one of the top contributors to Canadian autonomy. They were not considered the best leaders during the time they ruled, but today their decisions are the ones that have lead us to where we are. Many of these individuals have encountered failure, but in the very end they remained devoted to their cause, which was to develop Canada’s image on the world stage. Canada has been brought up by means of many different leaders and other individuals who were both good and bad for the country, but Canadians are happy to have encountered them, since it only provides the people with opportunities to learn from their mistakes.There

If Canada appeared to be “doing it’s share” in the imperial war effort, it was more likely to gain concessions and prove its usefulness as an independent dominion to Great Britain. This is similar to what happened in reality – the Canadian contribution in the first world war directly led towards the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and fully Canadian diplomatic

Canada has many factors that make and prove its independence in the world today. One of these factors comes from the Second World War/WW2. WW1 had an effect on Canada that made it independent, WW2 had a similar effect on Canada. WW2 is about how Canada shaped itself into an independent country.On September 9 1936 Canada declared war on Germany. This was the first time Canada had declared war. After finding out about Hitler's evil schemes and the Germans torpedoed “ The Athena”, a ship carrying many Canadian passengers .Canada declared war on Germany.Canada was given the support of the Britain and its empire and the American forces to fight this war. This event is important because it shows Canada becoming more independent by making critical

Canada’s involvement in World War I was vital to the Allied success as shown through the battles of Vimy, Passchendaele, and Ypres. Yet in the end, their involvement with the Victory Treaty was non-existent and received nothing but some nationalistic pride. Moreover, the ultimate lesson that we learned is that fighting for the British does not help our own nation improve and this is proven by the lack of representation during the final signing of the Treaty of Versaille. Moreover, this treaty reshaped the countries of Europe with major changes to borders, German military and colonies, and the formation of the League of Nations. I will be giving insight based on Canada's involvement within the Treaty of Versailles and the specific changes

As the 20th century comes to an end, Canada is a transcontinental nation whose interests and representatives span the face of the globe and extend into every sphere of human behaviour. However this was not always the case. When the four colonies of British North America united to create Canada on July 1, 1867, the new country's future was by no means secure. Canada was a small country, with unsettled borders, vast empty spaces, and a large powerful neighbour, the United States. Confronting these challenges was difficult for the young country. Though Canada was independent in domestic matters, Britain retained control over its foreign policy. Over the next fifty or so years, Canada's leaders and its
