The first convoy, sails from Halifax on September 16th, 1939, and reaches Great Britain safely.. Canadian escort ships accompany tankers and freighters up to a point off the coast of Newfoundland, where the Royal Navy takes over..i would give this battle a 2. -
Battle of DunKirrk
C andian soilders were on gaurd duty and were posted there.They tried to take down the germans but when they failed the began the evacutation.They felt like they let down France because they backed down and France had to surrender.I would give this battle a 5. -
Battle of Brtain
At the time, Canada had a fledgling air force. Many Canadian pilots fought with the British military. Not trained as fighter pilots, Canadians had spent only 20 hours in their planes. Most had fired only once at a moving target. Canadian fighters realized too late that some of them had been firing on British, not German planes. And their inexperience proved deadly. I would give this battle a 6 for significance. -
Battle of hong kong
On December 8,-25 1941the Canadians at Hong Kong fought against overwhelming odds, though most had limited military training. They had no chance of victory, but refused to surrender until they were overrun by the enemy. Those who survived the battle became prisoners of war. I woild give this battle a 4 for significance. -
Battle of Dieppe
The Battle of Dieppe was a test for the full-scale invasion of Western Europe. The raid on Dieppe would give the Allies a chance to test techniques and equipment for landing troops from the sea. The Battle of Dieppe was a disaster for the Canadians. Nearly 1000 Canadians died and nearly 2000 were taken prisoner, and there was no backup plan.I would give this battle a 6. -
Italian Campign
Allied forces, including Canadians, landed on Sicily using an amphibious attack, and then moved onto the mainland. The Germans were finally driven back by a French-Canadian unit which then pushed through to free northern Italy in the fall of 1944.I woulld give this battle a 5 for
significance. -
Liberation of the Netherlands
Canadian forces were prepared to continue their push in the west of the country, however, they were concerned this would prompt the now desperate Germans to breach all the dykes and flood the country, The Canadians advance in the western Netherlands came to a temporary halt. This allowed relief supplies to reach Dutch citizens who had almost reached the end of their endurance the candians air-dropped the supplies for the dutch.I would gove this battle a 2 for significance. -
D-Day (Pt.1)
The Canadians were responsible for "Juno" in the center of the British front, establish a beachhead along the five miles between Courseulles and St-Aubin-sur-Mer, push through the gap between Bayeux and Caen, and penetrate to Carpiquet airfield some eleven miles inland. The Canadian achievements on D-Day were remarkable. By the end of the day the Canadian Division was well established on its intermediate objectives, and had progressed further inland than any of the Allies. -
D-Day (Pt.2)
I would give this battle a 1 for the most si gnificant battle because canadian history because of the independence Canada gained, the number of lives that were saved, and the successes that helped bring an end to World War Two. D-Day was a life-changing time which influenced all Canadians and it will never be forgotten.
