The war impacted Canada in many ways such as moving away from Britain, Getting closer with the United States.

Borden knew the war could not be won without reinforcements and so he decided to pass the conscription bill. (Cruxton and Wilson, 118). In 1940, though Mackenzie King had promised no conscription, he passed the national resources mobilization act—this was conscription but only to protect Canada at home. But as war continued Mackenzie King was asked to send additional troops and just like in 1917 most volunteers were English, not French-Canadian.
