when the first WW began in August 1914, Germany invaded Belgium in order to grt to France. The British Empire (which included Canada) had promised to support Belgiums neutrality, and declared war on Germany. Canada at the time only had a population of 7.88 million and was not yet a trully independant country. Britans declaration of war on 4 August 1914 meant that Canada and the reat of Britans colonies were attomatically at war.

∙ 14y agoIn WW1, Britain had a loose obligation to France and she almost didn't declare war. But eventually she did anyway.
In WW2, Britain had issued a guarantee to Poland, and when Hitler attacked, Britain declared war shortly thereafter. Britains decision to go to war was likely already decided after Hitlers invasion of Czechoslovakia.
In world war one the UK joined in to defend Belgium because they were allies. Belguim was invaded only because Germany wanted to attack France.

∙ 12y agoCanada declared war the same day Britain did, in August 1914 and September 1939. At the time the bond of the Commonwealth countries was very strong and the majority of the population in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were of UK descent or had themselves immigrated from a UK country. The general feeling was that we had a duty to help Britain defeat their enemies.

How did Canada decide to join World War 2 and how was the Parliament held to decide whether or not Canada should join the war?
September 10, 1939- one week after France and the United Kingdom. As a colony,I think we were technically at war when the UK declared it. The CBC has PM McKenzie's speech online on its archives.AnswerCanada had been a independent nation, able to make it's own decisions, since 1867. The 7 day difference between September 3rd, when Britain declared war on Germany, and September 10th, was to allow Canada's parliament to fully debate the motion to declare war. It re-enforced the fact that we didn't have to follow in lock step with everything that Britain did.
