June 28, 1914: Archduke Franz Ferdinand has been assassinated triggering the start of a four-year-long conflict unlike the world has ever seen before, the Great War (10). These next four years will see the death of millions, as well as the rise and fall of nations and empires.
The Dominion of Canada, under the rule of Great Britain, fought alongside the allied powers including France, Russia, and the United States (10). Over the next four years, the young nation will step into its own, showing to the rest of the world that it’s more than just a colony and that it deserves representation on the global stage.
