The Battle of Gettysburg.
First of all, Vimy Ridge was just one of many BATTLES, that took place during The First World WAR. A Battle lasts for a few hours or days, a WAR lasts for years. The First World War lasted for 4 years, from 1914 to 1918, which was about 90 years ago. The second thing that you have wrong is WOMEN. There were NO WOMEN involved in the fighting at VIMY RIDGE. NONE. All of the soldiers in that war were MEN. Women had a MINOR role far behind the trench lines as nurses in field hospitals. They helped to care for the wounded men and assisted the Doctors in the operating rooms. They did NOT carry or use weapons at all. The attack on VIMY RIDGE was a 100 percent Canadian event. Previously, both the British and the French armies had been defeated in their attempts to take the ridge from the Germans. The Canadians spent 3 months rehearsing the attack and every man had his own job to do, on a time schedule. This was the first time that such planning had been applied to an attack in this war. The attack began on Monday April the 9th of 1917, at 5 o'clock in the morning. Four divisions of Canadians, totaling one hundred thousand men got up out of their trenches, and started to walk towards the ridge, following their artillery barrage. It took less than half a day to beat back the Germans and to hold the entire ridge. This was a major victory for the Canadian army and it was the first time that the entire Canadian Corps had fought as one complete unit. The victory was not cheap, it cost over 7,000 Canadian dead and a further 12,000 wounded. The War went on for another full year and a half, until in November of 1918 the Germans were finally defeated and they signed a surrender agreement. Because of the great victory at VIMY RIDGE, Canada was one of the victorious nations who shared in the celebrations at the end of the war. Canada was now considered, by the rest of the nations of the world, to be a full and separate country of its own, no longer a colony of Britain, no longer having to ask for permission to do things, from Britain. Canada earned that right thru it's bloodshed and bravery in the First World War, and the greatest Canadian victory, and there were many of them, was at VIMY RIDGE, in France. Two hundred acres of French land at VIMY RIDGE is now the site of the VIMY memorial. This land was given to Canada, by the French Government to show their appreciation for the Canadians part in defeating the Germans. A huge set of statues and a memorial wall stands to honour the men who died there.
