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.

The main aim of the Schlieffen Plan was to knock out and capture France and then attack Russia in order to avoid fighting a war on two fronts at the same time.

The French Revolution was a period of time where Jews were fighting for civic equality and having to overcome many obstacles that were put in front of them throughout this time.
