History

Formation

Prior to the Confederation of Canada in 1867, the British Army provided the defence of Canada, although many Canadians served with the British in various conflicts including the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. However, after 1867, the British began to downsize their garrisons in Canada, mainly to move troops to other areas of the Empire, and also friendlier relations with the United States, Canada's immediate neighbour, and the only country capable of launching an armed invasion of the country. Accordingly, the Canadian's began to build up their own Army, although the British continued to provide naval defence through the Royal Navy. 1867 was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ... The British Army is the land armed forces branch of the British Armed Forces. ...

Boer War

The first major conflict that the Canadian Army fought in was the Boer War, an armed conflict in South Africa between the British and Boer settlers. The Canadian forces missed the early period of the war and the great British defeats of Black Week. The Canadians in South Africa won much acclaim for leading the charge at the Second Battle of Paardeberg, one of the first decisive victories of the war. At the Battle of Liliefontein, three Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross for protecting the rear of a retreating force. About 7400 Canadians, including 12 female nurses, served in South Africa. Of these, 224 died, 252 were wounded, and several were decorated with the Victoria Cross. The war remained deeply unpopular in Quebec, that viewed it a crushing a democratic minority group in many ways similar to French-Canadians. Canadian forces also participated fully in the concentration camp programmes that led to the deaths of thousands of Boer civilians. Boer guerrillas during the Second Boer War There were two Boer wars, one from December 16, 1880-March 23, 1881 and the second from October 11, 1899-May 31, 1902 both between the British and the settlers of Dutch, French and German origin (called Boers, Afrikaners or Voortrekkers) in South...

World War One

On August 4, 1914, the United Kingdom entered WWI by declaring war on Germany. The British declaration of war automatically brought Canada into the war, as it was still part of the British Empire. The Canadian Corps was formed, and over 600,000 Canadians served with the Corps in the duration of the war. Unlike, the other major combatants, Canada had not introduced conscription to replace the massive casualties they were suffering. Pressure to introduce and enforce conscription was strong in English Canada, but the idea was deeply unpopular in Quebec, leading to the Conscription Crisis of 1917. After the war finished in 1918, several Canadian units also served in the Russian Civil War. The Canadian Corps was a World War I Canadas soldiers in September of 1915 after the arrival of the 2nd Canadian Division in France. ... The Conscription Crisis of 1917 was a political and military crisis in Canada during World War I.

Canada led the failed Dieppe Raid (Operation Jubilee) on August 19, 1942, landing nearly 5,000 soldiers of the 2nd Canadian Division and 1,000 British commandos on the coast of occupied France, in the only major combined forces assault on France prior to the Normandy invasion of June 1944.

Later Canadian First Army troops took part in the Allied invasion of Italy. On June 6, 1944, the 3rd Canadian Division landed on Juno Beach in the Battle of Normandy. Troops sustained 50% casualties in their first hour of attack. By the end of D-Day, the Canadians had penetrated deeper into France than either the British or the American troops at their landing sites and while overcoming stronger resistance than any of the other beachheads except Omaha Beach. This article covers the invasion of mainland Italy by the World War II Allies in September 1943 during the Italian Campaign. ...

Canada also played a role in the Pacific Theatre. Upon the request of the British Government, Canada agreed to send reinforcement to garrison Hong Kong, therefore freeing up troops for other British possessions in the Far East. The Department of National Defence sent 1975 soldiers from the Royal Rifles of Canada (from Quebec City) and the Winnipeg Grenadiers. However, the Canadian forces in Hong Kong did not have much of an impact when Japan invaded the crown colony on December 8, 1941 (see Battle of Hong Kong). Later, in 1944, the Canadian Government sent some of their Chinese-Canadian recruits into occupied Malaya as spies and trainers of the local guerrillas.
