Why was Canada a part of World War 1?

Answer 1

In 1914, most Canadian could not find Serbia on a map. Although Archduke Ferdinand's assassination was news-worthy and tragic, few Canadians understood what it meant. However, Canada was a proud and loyal member of the British Empire. Canada's relations with foreign powers were in hand OS Great Britain.When Britain was at war, Canada was automatically at war, but Canada could determine the extent and nature of its effort.

While many Canadians were keen to follow Britain to the battlefields of Europe, few understood the back-ground causes of the war. Many felt that Britain was in the right and Germany was at fault.

So without much thinking or real debate, the young country advanced into the unknown. Canadians eagerly joined a war that they hd absolutely no role in causing or declaring. They would, however, play a great part in fighting the war. They would also soon know the pain and price of war.

Answer 2

Canadians went to war in World War One as a colony of Britain. Iin this war they gained their independence. In World War Two Canadians went to war because they wanted to help protect peace and democracy. Because they're a nation of brave, honorable people who try to settle differences peacefully, and fight like bloody he** when they must, to defend what's right.

Answer 3

"Major European powers were at war within weeks because of overlapping agreements for collective defense and the complex nature of international alliances."

I guess that Canada was in a alliance and therefore joined the first World War.

Answer 4

Canada got involved in WW1 because Britain got involved and since Canada was under british rule, Canada was in the war to support Britain along with many other countries that were under British rule, such as Egypt.

Britain got involved because Germany was going to attack France by moving through Belgium to get to france. When Germany invaded belgium, Britain wasn't to happy so they joined the war fighting against Germany and the other Central powers. Since Britain joined the war, Canada joined the war.

It was like a chain reaction.

Canadians were considered Storm Troopers in WWI because the Kaiser saw us as the best of the Allies.
