Depending on how one defines "autonomy" the answer will vary. With respect to political autonomy, in 1867, Canada was styled a separate "dominion" with authority to establish its own representative government. In 1931, Canada was given power to pass and amend its own laws without final approval of the British Parliament, except for those laws which were "Constitutional" in character. In 1982, Canada was given power to amend its own Constitution, thus divesting Britain of any remaining legislative authority over Canada.
The greatest impact on Canada was as a result of World War II due to Canada's extensive effort in this war as opposed to World War I.

Canada became involved in World War I largely due to its status as a dominion of the British Empire. When Britain declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914, Canada was automatically drawn into the conflict. The decision was influenced by a sense of loyalty to Britain, as well as a desire to assert Canadian autonomy and national identity. Over the course of the war, Canada contributed significantly in terms of troops, resources, and support, which helped to shape its post-war identity.
Canada entered World War II on September 10, 1939, shortly after Britain declared war on Germany. The Canadian Parliament voted in favor of joining the conflict, marking a significant moment in Canada's foreign policy, as it was the first time the country made its own decision to go to war without being automatically drawn in by Britain. This decision reflected Canada's growing autonomy and national identity. Canada subsequently mobilized its military forces and contributed significantly to the Allied war effort.
At the end of World War 1, in 1919, Canada was viewed as a subordinate to Britain. Canada's Prime Minister, Robert Borden, fought for their independence. He believed that Canada's major role in the war, as well as their 60,000 casualties should allow them separate Dominion and the right to sign the Treaty of Versailles as an independent Country.

Canada's independence as a country was largely solidified through its participation in World War I and World War II, rather than a single war. While the Statute of Westminster in 1931 granted Canada legislative independence from Britain, it was the contributions and sacrifices made during these wars that fostered a greater sense of national identity and autonomy. The gradual evolution of Canadian sovereignty was marked by these conflicts, culminating in the patriation of the Constitution in 1982.
yes Canada fought in world war 1 because Canada was a British colony, and when British was at the war, Canada found itself at the war automatically
