In the Atlantic

Yes. The Japanese conquered the islands and treated the brutally mistreated the inhabitants. It took several years before 4 or 5 US infantry divisions were able to take back control of the islands. The first American defeat was in the Philippines, that resulted in the Bataan Death March.

Germany vs Britain in the air.

The four Allied Powers were Britain, France, Russia and Italy

Very little is known about Elizabeth Burgin, including her birth and death dates. We know she helped the Americans who had been taken prisoner aboard British ships, and risked her life bringing them food, news and cheer. Her role would have been completely forgotten had it not been for mentions of her in George Washington's letters. The British were very angry when they found out what she had done, and offered a hefty reward for her capture.

Gangrene is often called 'gas gangrene' because it puts out a foul gas when an area is infected. Gangrene is an anaerobicbacterium, which means it grows in places hidden or away from air, let's say like deep down in a wound on your leg. If the infection is allowed to start growing, because circulation was cut off to the wound or wasn't cleaned properly, or treated with antibiotics to kill it, the tissue starts to die, cutting off the air to more tissue (which the bacteria likes) and putting toxins (poisons) out into the body systems. Once gangrene has set it and the leg has turned black, these poisons have to be removed by cutting off the leg, so that the infection won't poison the entire body and kill it.

When the United States was at war with Russia the United States thouht that their enemys might come up from the north in an aircraft and they would fly over Canada into the United States so now Norad was formed so that if any plane tried fly up North but was undentified Norad would tell them to land if they didnt the organization would shoot the plane down

In simple terms,Norad is a group of Canadians and Americans who patrol the north from any threats

Yes - all the Commonwealth countries helped defeat Germany

7,879,000 in 1914

8,148,000 in 1918

Throughout the Cold War (which arguably started even before WWII ended) Canada's ties with the British Empire diminished and they grew closer and closer with the U.S. Whether or not this is beneficial or harmful for Canada could be argued either way. Canada and the U.S. have extremely close economic ties as a result. This helps to strengthen the Canadian economy by providing a trading and business partner just a stones throw away. However it also means that many Canadian businesses have trouble because it is difficult to compete with the businesses from a country with almost ten times the population when your economies are so closely linked. Militarily Canada does benefit from freedoms much of the world doesn't being adjacent to a strong military ally. NORAD is a notable example. However Canada also is hurt by the relationship which results in much of Canada's genius being underdeveloped because of pressure from the U.S. An example of this would be that much of Canada's best minds are lost because of the opportunities available in a country of 300,000,000 that aren't in one of less than 40,000,000. The Avro Arrow, for example, was a Canadian interceptor aircraft that, at the time, was one of the most cutting edge military aircraft on the planet. It was controversially canceled in favor of the American Bomarc missile and f-101 Voodoo, a design originally rejected by the RCAF. Dozens of Avro employees then left the company and worked in the U.S. as lead engineers, project managers and heads of engineering at NASA. Canada's relationship with the United States has been both beneficial and harmful to Canada. Overall it is a matter of opinion which one is prevalent; however the detrimental effects appear largely avoidable.

No they are not. If you look in the back there should be a page that says

While the events described and some of the characters in this book may be based on actual historical events and real people, Example Character is a fictional character created by the author, and her diary is a work of fiction.

Or something to that effect.

The volunteers of the Canadian military are dyingout overseas, and no reinforcements were presented. The Canadians felt that the war was taking up too many lives,and the French-Canadians only made up of 5% of the 4 divisions of volunteers while they made up 28% of the population. So the idea of imperialism still stayed with them, the thought that all Dominions and colonies of G.B. must help with the war. Borden went to England and decided to pass the Military Service Act that all decisions to send troops overseas or conscription is decided by the Prime Minister. And in between there was a very rough period in which the liberals and conservatives had a fight and Borden formed a new party. - Grade 10 student

British Commandos and Canadian forces took part. From the Allied point of view nothing went right... It was seen as a disaster. But it did prove the taking, intact, of a French port was unlikely. The Allies would have to make & take their own across the Channel. Mulberry was a great success in theD Day landings 2 years later..

good healthcare were not in war

Papineau and William Lyon Mackenzie were the radical leaders of the 1837 rebellions in Lower Canada and Upper Canada respectively. They tried to overthrow the English Aristocracy in the form of the Chateau Clique and the Family Compact, upper class government who ruled absolutely.

Canada's First World War collection of nearly 1,000 paintings is known as the Canadian War Memorials Fund (CWMF). It was the first official war art program in the world and boasts the largest number of oversize paintings of any collection of its kind. Most of the CWMF paintings are in the custody of the Canadian War Museum (CWM). The National Gallery of Canada (NGC) transferred the collection to the museum in 1971. The NGC retained in its collection, however, a number of the most modern paintings. Eight of the largest CWMF paintings have hung in the Senate Chamber on Parliament Hill since 1921. The Contribution of Lord Beaverbrook The First World War collection was the brainchild of Sir Max Aitken (created Lord Beaverbrook in December 1916). Born in 1879, he was raised in New Brunswick. After relocating to Britain in 1910, the millionaire newspaper owner moved easily into its highest aristocratic and political circles. Always a Canadian at heart, however, Beaverbrook's genuine nationalist fervour contributed to his decision in 1916 to initiate and take personal responsibility for a project to record the war from Canada's point of view through the Canadian War Records Office (CWRO). By this time, the First World War had been ongoing for two years. Aitken's media interests made him ideally suited to the task of documenting the conflict in film, photograph and print. His experience with a mass circulation daily paper, the Daily Express, meant he also knew what engaged people's interests. A single event turned him in the direction of documenting the war in art: the horrific German gas attack on the Canadians at the Second Battle of Ypres in April and May 1915. For a variety of reasons the event was not photographed, so in November 1916, Aitken commissioned a huge 3.7 x 6 metre painting from the British artist and illustrator Richard Jack through his new art organization, the Canadian War Memorials Fund. Undoubtedly, the success of this venture, combined with the prevailing belief that the lifespan of a photograph was limited, contributed to his decision to commission more artists to record Canada's war experiences for posterity. Artists on the Battlefield He and his war art advisor, the Hungarian-born art critic P.G. Konody, worked essentially from two angles. First, they commissioned big pictures from important British artists such as David Cameron, Louis Weirter, Gerald Moira, and C.R.W. Nevinson. Beaverbrook thought initially that the oversize works might contribute to the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament in Ottawa, the original buildings having been largely destroyed by fire in 1916. But he was also responsive to the idea that artists should spend time on the battlefield making sketches of documentary value that, ultimately, might be turned into larger works. He employed soldiers who were artists, such as Thurstan Topham. He also provided opportunities to his newspapers' graphic artists, men like H.J. Mowat. The French-Canadian Battalion - the 22nd - was painted by a Belgian official war artist, Alfred Bastien, who was seconded to the Battalion for three weeks. The medical services overseas were captured in paint by artists such as the painter and printmaker Cyril Barraud. It was his special interest in size and impact and his preference for British artists that brought Beaverbrook into conflict with officials in Ottawa, in particular with the National Gallery of Canada. The main player there was Sir Edmund Walker, president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the chairman of the gallery's board of trustees. Working with him at the gallery was the Englishman Eric Brown, its first director. While they appreciated Beaverbrook's extraordinary drive in founding and funding the Canadian war art program, they had different views on what form the record should take. The gallery's interest lay in field study, not grand studio composition. It also worried that the program recommended too many commissions for British artists. Such nationalist sympathies were hardly unique. While Canadians were still British subjects, many craved an identity, in politics and in art, which would be distinct from their associations with the mother country. The Group of Seven Walker corresponded with Beaverbrook concerning the employment of Canadian artists. Beaverbrook was receptive and gradually hired more Canadians, such as future Group of Seven member A.Y. Jackson. Walker was instrumental in hiring another future Group painter, F. H. Varley, who was among four artists - another was Maurice Cullen - given the rank of captain and attached to the Canadian Corps. Walker and Brown were responsible for including future Group members in another aspect of the war's artistic record: the home front. Arthur Lismer created memorable images of Halifax, Nova Scotia, in wartime, producing vibrant portraits of dazzle-painted ships in the harbour. Frank Johnston worked for several months documenting pilot training at various bases in Ontario. His watercolours of Curtiss JN-4 aircraft joyously looping-the-loop above the tranquil fall farm landscape uniquely convey the idea of flight and show that, for some, war was not a grim business.

John Garand was working at the Springfield Armory when he designed the automatic rifle that bears his name. Springfield Armory bid on an Army contract and produced them for the US Army.

For Canada to purchase the rifle, it would have to have contracted with a foreign company which may not have been allowed by their policy.

Some Canadians probably did use the Garand. The 1st Special Service Force (aka the Devil's Brigade) was an elite unit serving in Italy and South France, and it was composed of both US and Canadian soldiers. They also used the Johnson light machine gun (Johnny Gun), and the V42 dagger. In WW1 the Canadian Army used a rifle called the Ross, but it had problems, and they used the Lee-Enfield in WW2.
