My favorite parts of history are how Canada fits into the global community and comparing our past with the histories of other countries.
J'ai choisi cette question parce que ma classe était au milieu de l'apprentissage de la Première Guerre mondiale.
J'ai choisi la question, car la bataille de la crête de Vimy et son 100e anniversaire ont profondément marqué mon identité canadienne.
I chose this question because this year is the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge and we have a Vimy Oak planted right here in Waterdown.
Vimy Ridge helped awaken Canadian nationalism but it also played a huge role in splitting the politics of Canada for decades to come.
I wanted to further my knowledge of the many ways that the battle of Vimy effected the community that I live in.
