Canada has a distinct and proud past when it comes to heroic struggles endured by our soldiers. From the War of 1812 to Vimy Ridge, the Dutch Liberation and even peacemaking efforts in Bosnia and Afghanistan, battles have been fought—and won—by the brave men and women who believed in freedom for all. Learn about Canadian participation in conflicts spanning continents and decades:

Still under British control, Canada fought on the side of the king in the world’s first global war, the Seven Years’ War and later in the Boer War in South Africa
