In Canada's Great War, 1914-1918, historian Brian Douglas Tennyson argues that Canada's enthusiasm had the ironic effect of bringing this British Dominion nation much closer to its southern neighbor, the United States, especially after the latter joined the fray. The cooperation of the two nations reflected the deepening relations between the two, from the already growing popularity in Canada for American cultural products-from books to magazines to movies-to the astonishing American response to the Halifax explosion in December 1917. By the end of the First World War, Canadians were emerging as a North American people, no longer fearing close ties to the United States. | Canada's Great War 1914-1918 by Brian Douglas Tennyson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
