I choose Vimy Ridge as my event because it was a very important battle in Canadian history that helped shape what Canada has become today. This is because how we handled Vimy Ridge was what defined what Canada was capable of. This battle showed everybody that when we unite we are able to do anything. The mission that the Canadians had was to take over Vimy Ridge, however this was not a small task. It was one of the most heavily guarded hills controlled by german forces and it was left up to the canadians to take it. Other countries tried to take it but were unsuccessful in their attempts. The battle was on a hill and the germans were on top which gave them a strong advantage. By using smarts they were able to take Vimy Ridge from the Germans.
