Canada's Hundred Days: Canadian participation in the Grand Offensive

In my essay I am going to analyze Canada's role in the First World War, the Grand Offensive, supported by analyzing their role in the major battles. I am also going to investigate the causes, events and results of their participation in one of the most devastating wars in human history. I am going to argue that Canada had a vital role in the Grand Offensive in defeating the German Imperial Army. As the Dominion of Newfoundland was not part of the Dominion of Canada at the time of the war, and as the 1st Newfoundland Regiment (also known as Royal Newfoundland Regiment) did not take part in the Grand Offensive, I am not going to take a look at them in my essay.

Consequence of the First World War


Fascism was a direct consequence of the First World War. Discuss this statement with reference to either Mussolini's rise to power 1918-1925, or Hitler's rise to power, 1918-1933.
Offering a definitive and comprehensive assessment which accounts for the rise of militant fascism in Europe during the inter war years is something which has plagued historians for many years. As such, a variety of issues and factors have been proffered in vehement fashion in an attempt to effectively comprehend the successful emergence of fascism. The diversity and division which exists on this subject therefore reflects the complex nature of fascist development in the short interlude between the world wars.
