Military History: Introduction: Goals

The goal of Canada's Military History is

to help Canadians to learn about their nation's military history;
to be aware of the larger influence that our military has had on our national history; and
to appreciate the importance of our military to present-day Canada.

Canada's Military History is an interpretative history of the Canadian military from 1867 to the present. It looks at the growth and development of the Canadian military tradition and at the important influence that Canada's military has had on our nation's history. In particular, it attempts to focus on the experiences of Canadian soldiers in battle and during peacetime.

The Battle for Courcelette, by Louis Alexander Weirter.

The Canadian army emerged from the First World War with a reputation as an effective and reliable force. Canadian soldiers enhanced that fighting tradition at Ortona, D-Day, Kap'Yong, and other battles of the Second World War and the Korean conflict.
