    To explain, Canada is a British colony, and Canada followed its old master, Britain, to participate in World War I and World War II, and picked up a lot of cheapness, which is also the reason why Canada is strong.

    In August of that year, Britain declared war on Germany, and Canada, which was a British Dominion, was drawn into World War I. Canadian soldiers have made brilliant victories on the European front, and the people of the Dominions have made great contributions in the rear. There was a wartime boom in the country, and the development of the industrial sector was particularly significant.

    After the end of the war, military enterprises and technicians smoothly transferred to a wide range of civilian industries, laying a solid foundation for Canada's future economic development.

    During World War I, the Dominions of the British Empire contributed to the war, and their sense of national identity and independence was strengthened. Under the leadership of Canadian Prime Minister John Borden, the British Dominions were given independent representation in international organizations. In 1920, Canada joined the newly formed League of Nations.

    In 1931, the United Kingdom** officially recognized the independent status of the Dominion, which was soon passed by the British Parliament"Westminster Act"Canada officially became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

    After Britain and France declared war on Germany, Canada also officially declared war on Germany on September 10, participating in World War II. After the defeat of France in June 1940, Canada became the third power in the Western anti-fascist war after the United States and Britain. During the war, Canada was effectively a major arsenal of the Allied Powers and an overseas production base for Great Britain.

    World War II was an important stage in Canada's history, and it had a profound impact on Canada's later development in many ways, mainly in the following ways:

    Canada's national strength was even more substantial, not only was it not damaged by the war, but it became a major wartime production base, and the new military industrial system made it a powerful industrial country. Heavy loans to Britain during and after the war turned its former debtor into a creditor country.

    Canada stepped onto the world stage and began to play an increasing role in international affairs. Canada became one of the founding members of the United Nations in 1945. In 1949, Canada signed the North Atlantic Treaty with the United States, Britain and France, becoming a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

    In accordance with its treaty obligations, Canada sent troops overseas to Europe.

    On August 4, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany and entered World War I.

    Since Canada was still considered a British colony, Canada was automatically at war with Germany at the same time that Britain declared war on Germany. While Canada** does not have the right to decide whether or not to go to war, it can decide how to go to war. Eventually, Canada sent four divisions to the Western Front.

    By the end of the war, the Canadian Legion had become the most powerful force on the Western Front. Battle of the Somme.

    Later, the Canadians earned a reputation as the "vanguard". As a result of these honors, in 1916 the British sent Canadian troops to help defend the West Indies colony.

    The Canadian Corps' most glorious victory was the Battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917, in which the Canadian army successfully captured a high ground that the British and French forces could not capture for a long time. The victory, together with Canadian aces William Buck and Billy Bishop, created a new international image for Canada. They also gave Canada more autonomy, and thanks to its military prowess, Canada was able to achieve the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.

    and joined the League of Nations in 1921.

    It was finally granted full autonomy after the Westminster Abbey Act came into effect in 1931.

    In order to maintain sufficient troops, Canadian Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden decided to recruit soldiers. Although Anglo-Canadians and soldiers on the front lines were in favor of conscription, conscription was in Quebec.

    There was a boycott. In the end, a total of about 120,000 soldiers were drafted, of which about 47,000 were sent to the front. As a country with a population of only 8 million people, Canada's performance in the war is widely regarded as commendable.

    In total, 619636 Canadians fought in World War I, of whom 66,655 were killed and 172,950 wounded.

    In 1919, Canada went to Siberia.

    A unit was sent to assist the White Army in the fight against the Soviet Red Army. This sending army was in Vladivostok.

    As a base, it barely fought a few battles before retreating.

    France and Belgium.

    There are eight monuments in the territory that commemorate Canada's contribution to the war, and two of them are particularly designed: the Battle of Vimy Ridge Memorial and the St. Julian's Memorial. The other six monuments are granite monuments surrounded by circular paths: the Belgian Ridge 62 Monument, the Parsendale Monument and the French Monument to the Bourne Grove, the Cosellette, the Durry Monument and the Le Quesnel Monument. Newfoundland (incorporated into Canada in 1949) is also commemorated by a separate monument to the war effort.

    War is the biggest harm to human beings,,, such as the hurt feelings between countries, the land and plants are injured to the point that cultivation can not grow, which is equivalent to hurting their own bodies with their own hands, so that human beings who eat for the sky cut off their own food, it is equivalent to cutting off a lot of economic **, resulting in unemployment in society, low wages for workers, and riots among the people, the rise of lawbreakers, and to some individuals with political goals also take the opportunity to push the boat to achieve their goals. I still hope that we will have a war with the Taiping in China.

    The First World War had little direct impact on Canada. Because Canada was a colony at that time, under British rule, and secondly, it had a unique geographical location like the United States, which had no direct impact on him. Moreover, the First World War was an unjust war of plunder in the nature of imperialist hegemony.

    There is no real point.

    Hello dear. The Canadian Army in World War II has strong combat effectiveness, and Canada, as a British Dominion, can play a strong role in World War II, but it is shrouded by the aura of Britain, and its sense of presence is relatively low. Canada was known as Britain's arsenal in World War II, with a strong industrial armament manufacturing capacity, and Canadian soldiers were not weak on the battlefield.

    The Canadian army has 1 million troops on the battlefield, about the same number as Italy. But the Canadian army is not a little stronger than Italy in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness. Canada is particularly strong in the air force, with 45 overseas flight squadrons and 250,000 air force members, making it the fourth largest air force in the world.

    Canada's naval strength is also remarkable, with thousands of warships, including five aircraft carriers. Canada has the fourth largest industrial production capacity in the world, producing more than 100,000 cars during World War II, compared to just over 80,000 in Italy. In World War II, the Canadian Army participated in many famous battles, some of which were led by the Canadian Army, among which the bloody Battle of the Sheldt Estuary was its most classic battle.

    The battle took place against the backdrop of the successful Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, when the Allies had landed from the west of the European continent. Britain had already captured two important strategic locations, Brussels and Antwerp. Antwerp, as a very important deep-water port in Europe, was the focus of fierce contention between the Allies and the Germans.

    Although the British occupied the city of Antwerp, they did not control the port facilities on its periphery, and the Germans still controlled the mouth of the Scheldt River.

During World War II, Germany and Italy demanded Franco's return by allowing the Germans to attack British Gibraltar via Spain and force Spain to join the Axis powers. However, Franco, in view of the domestic famine, the urgent need for grain and oil aid from the United States and the Allies, and the lack of optimism about the final victory of the Axis powers, vacillated between the Axis powers and the Allies, trying not to get involved in the conflict, so that Spain's damage during World War II was minimized.
