Document Summary
British and french tried to take it. Canada demonstrated that amongst its key allies it could hold its own strategically. One uniform ray of light through a prison demonstrates a rainbow ray of colours. Out of one shape of light can come different perspectives. War was a legitimate feeling of the canadian nation being born. Ww1 does not have the apparent meaning that ww2 does. Ww2 we fought a super villain under the nazi regime. Ww1 was based on old empires, different interpretations of treaties. The reality is that the war was not meant to liberate peoples. The war was fought because canada was part of the imperial system. Canada exited the war as its own nation. Vance is arguing that this is effectively used by many to eliminate the challenges of post ww1. French canadian catholics did not support the war. British canadians had a connection to britain.
