Canada's March to War
When the Great War erupted in 1914, Canada wholeheartedly embraced the cause, eager to demonstrate its loyalty to the British Empire. Over 600,000 Canadians enlisted, forming four divisions that served with distinction on the battlefields of Europe. The war had a profound impact on Canada, shaping its identity and strengthening its sense of nationhood.
The Second World War presented Canada with a new set of challenges. The conflict was more global in scale, and Canada's contribution was equally significant. Over 1 million Canadians served in the war, participating in major campaigns in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. Canada's role in the D-Day landings, the Battle of the Atlantic, and the Italian Campaign was instrumental in securing Allied victory.
The Home Front
While Canadian soldiers fought valiantly abroad, the home front underwent a dramatic transformation to support the war effort. Women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, taking on roles traditionally held by men. Industries shifted to wartime production, producing munitions, aircraft, and other vital supplies. The war also had a profound impact on Canadian society, fostering a sense of unity and purpose.
The war's economic impact was also significant. Canada emerged from the conflict with a stronger and more diversified economy, benefiting from the growth of industries such as manufacturing, shipbuilding, and mining.
The Lasting Legacy

The wars played a pivotal role in shaping Canada's identity, fostering a sense of national pride and unity.
