Canada in WW2

Estimates range from about 50-70 million killed in World War 2. The Wikipedia article "World War II Casualties" favours the relatively high figure of 72 million. Of these, 61 million were on the Allied side and 11 million were on the Axis side. The article gives a figure of 23 million dead for the Soviet Union and 20 million for China. These figures of course include civilian dead. (Note that the figure for China was recently revised sharply upwards from earlier estimates...

After the massive number of casualties inflicted and the physical ravaging of the nations, the biggest consequence of WW2 was the Soviet Union's occupation of eastern Europe, which allowed the forceful spread of Communism and set the stage for the Cold War, which consumed the next half-century. 21 million were left homeless in Europe. Empires such as Great Britain and France fell. The US emerged dominant as it had funded WW2 and led reconstruction. There was no all-inclusive peace settlement, but there were...

Blitzkrieg offensive method is still used a lot today because it is effective and allows for the military force to use surprise against their enemy. See related link below. On that site go to the link "shock and awe" down at the bottom of it. More importantly, note that "blitzkrieg" was not a German invention. It merely is an implementation of the theories of mobile armored warfare developed by Liddle Hart and Fuller and in the 1920s and 1930s. The theory has...

The Allies, they delcared war on Germany on the 10 September 1939

island hopping allowed the US to establish a base of operations for our planes. once we controlled the local skies, we could establish safe harbors, supply depots for the ships, refueling centers, and local hospitals. You must remember that the Pacific Fleet had been damaged at Pearl Harbor on 12/7/41 so running straight to Tokyo was not an option. (Although in early 1942 Colonel Dolittle made a daring raid on Tokyo with a squadron of B-17 aircraft ) So, ships were dear, and...

It sent Canada into a new economic cycle. Since weapons and mitilia were needed overseas, factories needed to hire more workers. It helped to make the economy stronger knowing that we helped in the wars and are able to keep the economy together. IN 1939, Canada was a mainly agricultural country with over 60 percent of the population living in rural towns or on farms. The industrial sector was concentrated in Quebec and Ontario, and most exports were raw materials from the forests,...

It's hard to find a "main" contribution, there were so many. Canada sent thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen to battle in WW2. The RCAF trained thousands of British aircrew on the prairies of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Canada formed an entire heavy bomber group fighting Germany. 6 Group, Bomber Command flew over 40,600 missions. Hundreds of Canadian built warships operated in the north Atlantic protecting convoys and sinking many U-Boats. The Canadian Army had an entire beach on D-Day and went furthest inland on that...

Canada was affected mostly on the English-canadians and french- Canadian relations. Because when king asked the people to vote on conscription all the English - canadians voted for it and french- canadians voted against it. After only about 13 000 were conscrit. Canada wasn't affected much, because of Kings promise "Conscription if necessary, but not necessarily conscription" and his saying that it wasnt just planned to get the french canadians into the military the french-English relations werent affected very much, when compared to wwi....

Yes. Originally, several of the legislative creators of the 14th amendment intended that the children of foreign citizens born in the US would NOT be US citizens. Section 1 of the 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." While the original drafters proposed the idea that foreign citizens were not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" and therefore their...

Approximately 44,198 Canadians were killed in WWII.

== == A large number of the returning military vets took advantage of the FREE University education that was offered to them by the Canadian Government. That significantly increased the number of professional degree holders who went on to become the Doctors, Engineers and others who contributed to boom in Canada throughout the 50's and 60's. Another factor was the huge increase in births, from 1946 to 1960, as those same Vets fathered a record number of kids, all of whom would...

Approximately 11,000 Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) officers and men served with Royal Air Force (RAF) or RAAF squadrons for every phase of D-Day. Australia also provided 15 percent of the 1136 aircraft committed by...

We die naturally. Our bodies become physically incapable to work at a certain age, usually around 70 years old. Some people will have their bodies shut down at an earlier age, some people later. Sicknesses play a huge part in death, too. We die usually of old age, but other reasons like murder and sickness can lead to death also. There are other natural (but abnormal) causes of death, too, like cancer. Around 20% of people develop cancer - although not...

Conscription was necessary in the sense that Canada needed to conscript soilders in order to have a big enough army as the allied forces.

This outraged Francaphones however please anglaphones. ...
