Vimy

Canada.” From my viewpoint, Laurier was correct in saying this, as the 21th century was a high time for Canadian innovation with Canadian women gaining the right to vote in 1916, the declaration of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and the victory at Vimy Ridge in 1917. This quote has left a mark in Canadian History, and has also left room for many different insights that allow us to truly comprehend and understand its significance, and how exactly it was correct. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the…

with the rest of the major countries in the world. Sir Wilfred Laurier once said, “I think we can claim that Canada will fill the twentieth century” and boy did Canada claim this past century. Not only did they defy all odds by winning the Battle of Vimy Ridge but they also gained a voice in international relations. Canada was viewed as an attractive country from a foreigner standpoint, leading to mass immigration in the early twentieth century and the saying of the “Last Best West” which lead…

shamed by everyone. I chose not to go and then the government had just introduced conscription. All men 18-45 years old must go to war, except for the people who didn’t apply to the rules. I have participated in about 3 battles so far the battle of Vimy ridge, the battle of passchendaele and the battle of the somme. I’ve seen things in these battles that i’ll never be able to wipe from my memory. Horrific deaths and scene’s right in front of…

result of their contribution in the war. The war was the bloodiest conflict in Canadian history, with around 61’000 casualties, however battles such as Ypres, Somme, Passchendaele and Vimy Ridge triggered many Canadians to believe that Canada could be its own country and not a colony of Britain. The battle of Vimy Ridge was by far the most successful for the Canadians and it changed the way Canadians were looked at. The Canadians captured the very difficult position that the other allies could…

As you can see in my selfie, I am smiling, which refers to my answer to the question "Has Canada's history made you proud to be a Canadian?" And that smile means yes, I am proud to be a Canadian, due to Canada having so much effect over the years of the 20th century, which I will point out from my GREAT CANADIAN SELFIE. The first prop is the outfit and the mustache, in which I am supposed to look like an immigrant, who just immigrated to Canada, because of Canada's 1980 immigration act, which…

Canada is home to a long-standing democracy. Canada had embraced its nationalistic moments at Vimy Ridge and the Somme. However, these periods created tensions, as many foreigners received internment. Although my response to racial profiling against certain individuals, regardless of race, religion etc. would be of strong disapproval, due to terrorist activities occurring from unsecured immigration, I would personally have mixed feelings. Developing radical xenophobic thoughts and profiling…

how Canada became a separate nation. Canada signed the Treaty of Versailles, as Canada remained a part of the British Empire, and became its own nation. Canada also gained a reputation of being an “elite fighting force” by leading an assault on the Vimy Bridge which the French and British couldn’t do. Canada remarkably won a seat at a peace conference because Canada…

century and in the early years of the nineteen hundreds Great Britain had complete control of Canada. However, during the twentieth century Canada gained most, if not all, of its independence through the Treaty of Versailles, Canada’s war efforts, like Vimy Ridge, and many other events. If it was not for the twentieth century Canada would not be the wealthy and independent country it is today. By investigating economic, social, and political factors, it is evident that the twentieth century was…

It was affected politically by the battel of the Somme, the battel of the Vimy and the treaty of Versailles. The battel of the Somme changed Canadians politically. “The first day of the battle of Somme in France -1 July 1916-was the most disastrous the British army ever faced.”3 Although the gain of land was one aim the main…
