  • The Conscription Crisis

    The Conscription Crisis
    2023/04/10
    With casualty numbers mounting and recruit numbers declining, the government of Sir Robert Borden began to implement conscription. To do so, his government weighted the 1917 election in their favour, and nearly broke Canada into two over the Conscription Issue.

  • The Battle of Hill 70

    The Battle of Hill 70
    2023/04/03
    It was one of the most important battle victories for the Canadians during the First World War, but it is often lost in the shadow of Vimy Ridge. The battle saw thousands of casualties, but was the first time the Canadian Corps were led by a Canadian general.

  • Canada's Indigenous Soldiers

    Canada's Indigenous Soldiers
    2023/03/20
    About one-third of all Indigenous men aged 18 to 45 enlisted, or tried to enlist, in the Canadian Expeditionary Force to fight in the First World War. They fought bravely and became known throughout the front lines for their kills with rifles. Despite this, when they returned home they had their land taken away and given to other soldiers, and they were denied many of the benefits white soldiers received.

  • The Battle of Arleux

    The Battle of Arleux
    2023/03/13
    This battle is not remembered well today due to its close proximity in time to the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Nonetheless, Canada still suffered over 1,200 deaths but achieved their objective and held the village of Arleux.

    The Soldiers of Vimy Ridge
    2023/03/06
    We are back for season 3! Kicking everything off is the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Rather than rehash the battle itself, which has been done a thousand times, I am looking at the lives of 20 Vimy Ridge soldiers. I will explore their lives before, during and after the momentous battle.
