Canada's participation in the Second World War was well calculated because unlike the First World War, where it plunged into the war upon involvement of the United Kingdom, in the Second World War, Mackenzie King, the Canadian leader, had to wait for Parliament to consent to this involvement and Canada did not become involved until after Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939. Unlike many countries, particularly in Europe, which suffered from the economic downturn during the Second World War, Canada remained virtually unchanged during the war and its involvement created a foundation through which the country prospered during the years of post-war. This article will examine the impact of the Second World War on various aspects of the lives of Canadians.OverviewThe home front refers to civilian activities when nations are involved in war.

The emphasis on training the air force and other militaries had a positive impact even after the war because although the aim of the training was to feed other countries like Britain who actively participated At the end of the war, Canada was left with a very powerful armed force and, in fact, had the third largest and most powerful navy in the world by 1950. To this day, the air force Canada is one of the best in the world and Canada leads the manufacturing of military trucks that have been consumed by a wide range of countries. a variety of countries around the world. These are just some of the positive ways the war changed Canada, but the most negative way the Second World War affected Canada was the massive loss of young men who died during the war. and most of them were never even buried at home.
