‘Canada fully achieved a sense of nationhood from Britain during the battle’
‘The Battle of Vimy Ridge is clearly the ‘‘true birth’’ of Canada because it created a strong sense of Canadian national identity’
‘Canada entered the World War One as a simple colony, but […] they emerged with a much stronger independent perspective.’
‘[I]t was the first event that unified the diverse people of Canada, and eventually became the catalyst for autonomy from Britain.’
‘1812 sparked the idea of Canada, Confederation allowed Canada to progress and flourish, while […] Vimy emerged Canada into the world.’
‘Vimy Ridge was capable of uniting not only the soldiers to fight as one, but also Canadians on the homefront.’
