How Might World War 1 Change People's Life

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

World War 2 was a war like no other. It was a great war that chnged the world and killed many people. This war changed the way the war looked at Canada, and the way Canada looked at itself. World War 1 grew Canada’s independence but world war 2 shaped Canada’s independence and gave Canada a new look. World War 2 was a completely different war, this war allowed people to fight for their country, and not great britain, showing a new side to Canada.

World War 1 or the Great War was one of the most brutal if not the most war the world has faced so far. It originated in Europe which quickly went global, the war started on the 28th of July 1914 and ended November 11th 1918. The war consisted of many weapons and deadly gases. The weapons include;

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.

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

"Canada entered World War I as a colony and came out a nation..." a quote from Canadian journalist Bruce Hutchison. The First World War, or more commonly known as World War I or WWI, was a war centred in Europe, which in time became global, considering all the colonized nations of Europe were expected to fight, as well. WWI gave many of these colonized nations, and their people a chance to prove their worth, by fighting for the countries that “owned” them. Thenceforth, they could finally create an identity for themselves that was separate from the rest of Europe, they were longer another colony of places such as the British Empire. Following along with that idea, Canada is one of the best examples of a country that used the war as a way to

Canada officially went to war on August 4th, 1914 as a result of the British declarations of war on Germany. Even though Canada got nothing to do with the war, Canada did not have the decision or the choice to join the war due to Canada being one of Britain 's colonies. Canada at that time had a total population of 8 million people, in which, 620 000 served in the war and as a result, 60 661 were killed and 172 000 were wounded. The casualties were really high. There is no place in the world that is worth the slaughter of human beings.

Canada was brought into war due to the alliance with Britain yet they fought on their own. They had

World War One changed the world greatly in many ways. For Canada some of the changes were good and some were bad. Both the good and the bad changes cost the country in many ways. The changes brought about as a result of World War One were not worth the price Canadians paid. The long war resulted in many Canadians being killed, created major division within the country and in the end, left Canada deep in debt.

Canada’s influence in Europe allowed them to help to alter the course of World War II through their courage and bravery at many battles, including Juno Beach, Ortona, and the failure of Dieppe. Throughout the war they came alongside the British out of their own accord to protect their homeland

Not only did Canada’s acceptance show their motive to lessen the war and desire for peace, it also outlined that this country was no longer under the strings of the U.S. who (at the time) was considered a superpower and had great military power. To be more specific, 20 000 American draft-dodgers and 12 000 army deserters from their military service in Vietnam were welcomed and found refuge in Canada . The ‘draft dodgers’ event proves that Canada stepped away from the big, violent idea of “Communism vs Capitalism” and walked towards peace and responsible choices. In fact, Canada was capable of over-looking the United States’ desire and their dependent relationship for peace and

World War 1 was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with over 17 million fatalities. It was the war that made major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved. Despite all of the negative consequences, World War 1 was overall positive for Canada because it helped Canada’s economy grow, women gained the right right to vote shortly after and lead to Canada becoming its own nation from Britain. The demand for war supplies helped boom Canada's economy; Canada started building ships, airplanes and shells. Resources such as lumber, nickel, copper, and lead were in high demand as well as military gear, guns and food production.

The First World War was sanguinary. From 1914-1918, it embroiled nations around the world in an international conflict. Furthermore, its carnage resulted in unprecedented death tolls. From causing the downfall of a country to fostering a newly-established identity, almost every battle in the war held significance. For Canada, the Battle of Amiens proved more momentous than any other.

After World War Two Many societal changes took place throughout in Canada. After World War Two a very large Baby Boom occurred that affected Canadian society in many ways, such as the rise of teengars and their effect of becoming a huge demographic in society and the economy. Suburbs were further developed and created more of a community setting. New Along with closer knit communities, new technologies also made life in Post-World War Two Canadian society much easier. In order to understand the changes in Society following the second World War, we must first investigate the role of baby boomers generation and teenager life as well as suburb life and new technology.

Canada had made the right decision not to take part in the war. The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 made a terrible impact on both Iraq and America. Both of these countries should have solved the situation differently. America, however had no real evidence for why they sent U.S. forces to launch an attack on Iraq. Iraq had never tried to threaten America. On the other hand, this war caused a lot of confusion. Canada did not think that this war was necessary to start. There were good reasons why Canada refused to participate in the war on Iraq. It was based on lies, changed the way other countries viewed Iraq, and it led to disasters. The invasion that took place caused a lot of chaos and problems.
