Why did Canada join with Britain in ww1-ww2?

Answer 1

when the first WW began in August 1914, Germany invaded Belgium in order to grt to France. The British Empire (which included Canada) had promised to support Belgiums neutrality, and declared war on Germany. Canada at the time only had a population of 7.88 million and was not yet a trully independant country. Britans declaration of war on 4 August 1914 meant that Canada and the reat of Britans colonies were attomatically at war.

Answer 2

In WW1, Britain had a loose obligation to France and she almost didn't declare war. But eventually she did anyway.

In WW2, Britain had issued a guarantee to Poland, and when Hitler attacked, Britain declared war shortly thereafter. Britains decision to go to war was likely already decided after Hitlers invasion of Czechoslovakia.

In world war one the UK joined in to defend Belgium because they were allies. Belguim was invaded only because Germany wanted to attack France.

Answer 3

Canada declared war the same day Britain did, in August 1914 and September 1939. At the time the bond of the Commonwealth countries was very strong and the majority of the population in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were of UK descent or had themselves immigrated from a UK country. The general feeling was that we had a duty to help Britain defeat their enemies.

Answer 4

Because Canada was a Dominion within the British Empire, the head of state of Canada is still HM the Queen. All of the nations of the Empire sent forces to aid Britain in the war.

Answer 5

Out of loyalty to the UK.
