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.
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

During an exceptionally critical time of Canadian history, Robert Borden proved to be an incredibly effective and hard-working leader. Most notably, he brought Canada, by means of his dynamism and superior leadership skills, through and out of the nation’s struggles during the Great War. Therefore, considering the great adversities he has faced throughout his career, Sir Robert Borden has establishing himself as being one of the most remarkable figures in Canada’s history. Born on June 26, 1854 into a rural Nova Scotian farming community to a liberal family with a love of learning, young Robert Laird Borden was educated at the local school, Acacia Villa Academy.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is one of the greatest politicians in Canadian history. He was born on November 20, 1841 to a poor family (Clippingdale 1979, 12). Most Canadians love him because he made Canada into a liberal country. In a speech he said, “Canada is free and freedom is its nationality” (Bowen, Lunn m and Rigelhof 2002, 78). Because of this, Canadians respected him a lot which also supported him to do more contributions for this country.
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.
