Robert Borden was an amazing priminister for Canada. In WW1, he wanted Canada to participate in the war and got several troops for the Britain empire, but that eventually faded. He made the first GST tax, and gave women (nurses and family of soldiers) the right to vote, so he would win the re election and conscription would start demanding 19-45 year old men would be forced to enlist. He led Canada to winning several incredibly successful battles, including the famous Paschendale. At the peace treaty of Versailles, he got a separate seat from Britain which led to independence. Canada signed as an independent nation on the treaty and was a delegate for the World Nations (a new group promotion world cooperation) Robert Borden was also knighted in 1914.

Why did Robert Bordon change his mind about conscription from what he had promised at the beginning of world war 1?

Robert Borden initially opposed conscription at the start of World War I, promising to rely on voluntary enlistment. However, as casualties mounted and enlistment numbers declined, he recognized the urgent need for additional troops to support the war effort. Facing pressure from military leaders and a divided public opinion, Borden ultimately decided to introduce conscription in 1917 to ensure Canada could meet its commitments to the Allies. This shift reflected both the changing realities of the war and the necessity of sustaining military resources.
