Canada showed how independent of a country it is during WWI, after WWI, during WWII, and after WWII which was the post war. World War I was the main key source that caused Canada to grow drastically and be more independent than ever before. Canada’s soldiers made huge contributions and turned out to be a successful fighting force in the whole war. They went from being totally disrespected and deemed weak to gaining great respect and becoming the allies. They were thrown into the front of the most important and most difficult battles, and were clearly discerned from other British and Commonwealth troops
Please pass my love to George and Harry. I am in Northern France on the Vimy Ridge. This is the first time that all the divisions of our Canadian corps are fighting together against the Germans. We are on the highest point on the ridge; this is an advantage for us because we can clearly see our enemy across the horizon without being slaughtered. The living conditions are very brutal here.
With the U.S. First Army attacking from the north and General George Patton's Third Army from the south, the German began to retreat from the bulge on January 8, 1945 (See appendix 2 &3). American advancement continued and caused the final retreat of the Germans. American casualties resulted in 80,000, while German casualties were more than 100,000 (Battle). “The Battle of the Bulge was the largest battle the U.S. Army ever fought, and the largest it ever came close to losing; a battle so ferocious, and in such horrendous conditions, that very little film, either black and white or color, exists of the conflict” (The). This surprise attack caught Allied troops off guard and caused a bulge in the Allied lines.
Male and female Canadian athletes won several golds at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. The Bluenose schooner won the hearts of Canadians by winning the International Fisherman’s Trophy 17 consecutive times (1921-1938). Hockey emerged as one of Canada’s favourite sports and pastimes – a popularity that soon spread to the United States. In medical field, Mr. Canada has also made a great contribution. In 1922, the Canadian doctors Frederick Banting and Charles Best injected a 14-year-old diabetic with insulin to control his blood sugar.
In my third paragraph I will talk about Vimy Ridge, lead by the great General Arthur Currie and his success with Canada. I will be giving examples of why I think that allied leadership during World War One was ineffective. In 1916, at the beginning of the war was the battle of Somme. The battle was fought in Somme, France. Douglas Haig was leading the British, and was a very stubborn leader.
It was a major turning point in the war particularly in Europe. “After foul weather had postponed the operation for a day, forty-seven allied divisions invadedNormandy” (Boyer, 2001, p.174). By mid 1944 the early mobilization of man power and resources in America was beginning to pay off. Millions of American men and been trained and equpipped for battle. The American industial production had reached its peak by the end of 1943.
