    If there was a defining moment that made Canada into an independent country, it was the First World War that would lay the foundations for Canadian independence. World War 1 touched the lives of all Canadians and anyone who studies Canadian history cannot ignore the effects of the Great War. The war involved European countries but Canada being a dominion of the British Empire was called upon by England and had no choice but to participate. The war had both positive and negative effects on Canada and while many would rely on the negative aspects of the war, one must not forget what it did for Canada as a country. Canada’s involvement in the war would start a path to being an independent country, and after World War 1, Canada earned the respect from other nations especially after the heroic events at Passchendaele and Vimy Ridge. Canada was no longer to be looked at as a ‘self-governing colony’ but a nation that would have a say in international affairs. After the war, Canada earned a seat in the League of Nations and was now beginning to prosper and look like a truly independent country. After the formation of the League of Nations, Canada continued to demonstrate their will to make their decisions free from Britain’s approval and to influence decisions when it came to international affairs. For Canada to finally earn the respect from Britain and the other nations, they would have to participate in a war that would cost thousands of Canadians lives. Before the war Canada was considered a self-governing colony, but after the war was over, Canada cemented its position as a serious nation that would be more involved in international affairs then they ever did before.…
