The struggle to unseat the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, and keep it from returning to power, is Canada’s longest war by far. On September 11,  2001 terrorists hijacked four US passenger planes; they crashed two of them into the World Trade Center in New York City, destroying the center, and <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/52-canada-in-afghanistan/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

On September 15 and 16, 1993 a battalion of the Canadian Army engaged in battle for the first time since the end of the Korean War 40 years before. The Canadian battalion — 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (2PPCLI) — was defending the approaches to Medak, a small <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/51-peacekeeping-turns-into-war-the-balkans/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

Canada is the only country in the western world that has a single unified military instead of an army, navy and air force. This unified military, named the Canadian Armed Forces, came into existence on February 1, 1968 just as the separate Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/canada%e2%80%99s-unique-unified-military/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

Canada was once one of the world’s most active countries in United Nations peacekeeping operations. In fact, Canadians took pride that their soldiers did not really fight wars from the late 1950s to the mid-1990s but instead put on United Nations blue helmets to help warring nations turn from the battle field <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/49-canada-the-peacekeeping-nation/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

Most Canadians probably knew nothing of Korea in the late spring of 1950. The Second World War was five years in the past and the more than a million Canadians who had fought the war were getting married, having children and settling into civilian life. Suddenly on June 25, 1950, war broke <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/canada-fights-in-korea/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

Canada declared war on Germany on September 10, 1939 largely to support Britain and France which had declared war on September 3.

Canada was not even an independent nation when it fought its costliest war ever, the First World War, which for Canada began on August 4, 1914.

Canadian governments have been unsuccessful in describing their foreign policy. Prime ministers Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin each published glossy booklets outlining Canada’s role in the world. All were full of incoherent generalities and all were quickly forgotten.
Efforts to define foreign policy flounder because no big idea or central purpose shapes <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/45-canada%e2%80%99s-pragmatic-world-view/">[...more]</a>]]></description>

As Canada emerged from the shelter of the British  Empire after the Second World War, its foreign policy wore the sunny smile of Lester B. Pearson. Pearson’s amiable nickname was Mike, his boyish looks and breezy personality conveying the enthusiasm and innovation of a country coming into its own in the world.

Frank Underhill was a noted Canadian historian a half century ago, even if he is now almost forgotten. But he wrote one sentence that still rings true:  Canadians, he said, were the first anti-Americans, the ideal anti-Americans, the anti-Americans as they exist in the mind of God. In no period of Canadian history <a href="http://www.cdnexperience.ca/read-the-series/43-anti-americanism-at-its-peak/">[...more]</a>]]></description>
