== == On December 8th 1941, the Japanese attacked the Allied forces that were defending the area around Hong Kong. After a long and heroic battle, the defenders were forced to surrender on Christmas Day the 25th of December. Surrounded and out of food and water, the British, Canadian and Indian troops were taken prisoner and began a four year period of touture , starvation and death.

Many of those that did survive died at a young age due to the lack of proper food and the beatings that they were subjected to by their captors.

What was the reason for the Dieppe raid?
Find a weakness in German defenses and take over Dieppe.
The reasons were primarily political. Stalin harassed Churchill to open a war in Western Eupore and relieve pressure from Russia, lest Russia seek a separate peace with Germany......in which case the bulk of the German war machine would be free to fight Great Britain. Rather than mount a large invasion which might fail, it was decided to send a smaller force to capture and hold Dieppe, one of the channel ports on the French coast. Only seven regiments would be committed, and no warships other than destroyers. Thus, if the operation failed (which it did), not much would be lost, and it would still be a gesture of support to the USSR from Great Britain.

How did world war 2 impact Canadian identity?
First of all, World War 2 immediately ended the Great Depression in Canada. And for the first time, Canada declared war on its own behalf. The war made Canada a more independent nation from Britain, but brought it closer to the United States. After the war was over, veterans returned home with their war brides, and Canada opened its doors to immigrants. This resulted the Baby boom and a tremendous increase in population. Canada was once again prosperous. With the treat of nuclear war with USSR, Prime Minister Lester Pearson installed the nuclear arm with the United States.

Does Canada have a meritocracy?
Canada doesn't have a meritocratic system of education. Most of the top officers in Government agencies and corporate organizations are from the Baby-Boomers generation and have somewhat much less education credentials than the new generations. They were at the right place, at the right time (1970s-80s). It is very frustrating for the overeducated and underemployed new generations and immigrants to Canada. The only way to change this overly conservative system would be to begin a reengineering process in those organizations and get rid of the incompetent senior managers. Canada would then begin to be more competitive on the global scene.

What major battle were the Canadian troops successful at why was this so important?
The traditional answer is WWI and the taking of Vimy Ridge in France. Canadian troops, under the command of the British, were able to succeed where many other nations had failed.
That Vimy Ridge is in France, was key to the Canadian propaganda of the event. At the time Canada was a young Confederation which included a large number of French peoples. The French in Canada were very resistant to fighting for a British King.
Having Canadian troops be so successful in the French homelands showed that a strong Canada could help out the French even if it wasn't in Canada.
The fact that the credit went to the British who were in command was also something the French Canadians could be convinced was less than optimal.
Many French Canadians saw how Canadian troops were used against French Settlers in today's Manitoba. Even though such military actions were sold as being against savages and half bloods, it seemed clear to many French Canadians, still feeling the sting of 1759, that having a large and strong Canadian military might not be such a good idea.
Vimy Ridge helped change that.
By the time WWII came Canada had their own military, their own troops and commanders and were a proper part of the Allies of WWII.
Getting out of from under British military command was key to Canada seeing itself as an independent country.
It is this history that has many Canadians uncomfortable that Canada today does not have the military it once had and is for all practical purposes under American command.
We are still allowed to have our own troops and under our own command but without the ability to support or equip those troops we are right back to where we were 100 years ago.
That Canadian identity so hard fought for has been lost and is now being replaced by the myth that Canada is, and always was, a pacifist country with only peacekeepers.
Canada needs another Vimy Ridge, Canada again needs a new identity.

No Canada did not think wars was easy.
AnswerAlmost two years before Normandy, Canada had attacked the French port city of Dieppe, and it was the first Canadian action of the war. It was also a miserable failure for the Allies, and a propaganda success for the Axis. Apparently many brave Canadian soldiers had been sacrificed for nothing, but the knowledge gained from it saved many lives on Juno Beach as well as on Gold and Sword. [Casualties were light on Utah because the US troops were accidentally landed in the wrong place, and casualties on Omaha were appalling.] Juno was the most important of the five beaches because its objective was the Caen Crossroads. I should think that after Juno the Canadians felt that the disaster at Dieppe had been compensated, and they could stand equally with the US and Great Britain.
