Robert Borden, PC GCMG KC (June 26, 1854 - June 10, 1937) was Canada's 8th Prime Minister and served between 1911 and 1920. He served throught the First World War and although he was initially considered to be a rather ineffectual Prime Minister he led the country ably and successfully throughout the war.

In 1919 at the Paris conference, Borden firmly established that Canada had a role in international affairs. His political leadership, together with the Military leadership Maj-Gen Arthur Currie demonstrated that Canada not only had a voice in post war Europe, it also sowed the seeds of Canada's ultimate independence from Britian. Following the war Canada established an independent Foreign policy for the first time.
