The outcome was that the German's won. Allied forces stormed beaches at the wrong times and got killed. The only good that came out of this is that, commanders used the failures of the Dieppe Raid to build on them and perfect them.

An operation during WW2.
No. Dieppe was a battle which took place during the Second World War, in 1942. It is also a town on the north coast of France.
During the Dieppe Raid on August 19, 1942, approximately 2,500 Allied soldiers were taken prisoner, with around 1,950 of them being Canadian forces. The raid, intended as a test for future large-scale amphibious assaults, resulted in heavy casualties and a significant number of captures by German forces. The operation was ultimately deemed a failure, highlighting the challenges of such military endeavors.
The Battle of Dieppe, fought on August 19, 1942, was predominantly a Canadian operation, with around 5,000 of the 6,000 troops involved being Canadian soldiers. The mission aimed to test Allied tactics for a larger invasion of Europe and involved intense planning and preparation by Canadian forces. Despite facing heavy casualties and ultimately failing to achieve its objectives, the battle provided valuable lessons that informed subsequent Allied operations. The significant Canadian involvement helped bolster a sense of national identity and pride during the war.
Allied vehicle losses during the course of Operation Overlord approx: 4000 tanks, 4000 planes
== == During the 2003-present occupation of Iraq, the name Triangle of Death was given by U.S. and allied forces to a region south of Baghdad which saw major combat activity during the last months of 2004.
The combat at Gallipoli during World War I was marked by trench warfare, characterized by brutal and static fighting. Allied forces, primarily British and ANZAC troops, faced entrenched Ottoman defenders in a rugged landscape, leading to heavy casualties on both sides. The campaign involved land assaults, naval operations, and fierce hand-to-hand combat in challenging conditions, ultimately resulting in a costly stalemate and the withdrawal of Allied forces in January 1916.
During World War II, the Allied Commander in North Africa and then later in Europe was Dwight D. Eisenhower. A career officer who had never seen combat until World War II, Eisenhower's humility, commitment to teamwork, and general strategic "smarts" proved invaluable for the Allied victories which occurred from 1942 onwards in the European Theater of Operations.

I've never heard them referred to as the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during WW2. Maybe that was used in WW1.The first use of Canadian forces was during the Dieppe raid, which was a failure. There were not a large amount of Canadian troops in this raid. The Canadians first saw combat in Italy. The largest battle that the Canadians participated in was Ortona.
