Berlin, Ontario, changed its name to Kitchener in 1916 during World War I due to anti-German sentiment in Canada. The name change was part of a broader trend of renaming places with German associations to reflect loyalty to the British Empire. The new name honored Lord Kitchener, a British military leader, and aimed to foster unity and patriotism within the community.
