Historical context
The Second World War had a profound effect on Canadian, Western and world history. On September 3, 1939, France and Britain declared war on Nazi Germany, after the latter had invaded Poland two days earlier. Canada entered the war on September 10. During the six years of the conflict, more than a million Canadians, including tens of thousands of conscripts, fought in Europe. Of these, 43,000 lost their lives and 50,000 were wounded.
