Canada was a key figure of the Allies in World War 2. This was the first War that Canada declared independantly, and Canada was among the first countries that declared.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadian servicemen served (specifically 1.1 Million ). Canada proved their military strength (at the time), boasting the worlds third largest Navy, fourth largest Air Force, and seventh largest Army. Canada took on their own beach in the invasion of Normandy (Juno Beach), out of a total of 5 beaches. Canada took over 45,000 casulties (deaths only included in that number). Canada even had a wierd system not found in other countries, of optional enlistment. All other major countries had conscription.
