However, Canada was a proud and loyal member of the British Empire. Canada's relations with foreign powers were in hand OS Great Britain.When Britain was at war, Canada was automatically at war, but Canada could determine the extent and nature of its effort.
While many Canadians were keen to follow Britain to the battlefields of Europe, few understood the back-ground causes of the war. Many felt that Britain was in the right and Germany was at fault.

ProfessorCanadians went to war in World War One as a colony of Britain. Iin this war they gained their independence. In World War Two Canadians went to war because they wanted to help protect peace and democracy. Because they're a nation of brave, honorable people who try to settle differences peacefully, and fight like bloody he** when they must, to defend what's right.
Canada got involved in WW1 because Britain got involved and since Canada was under british rule, Canada was in the war to support Britain along with many other countries that were under British rule, such as Egypt.
Britain got involved because Germany was going to attack France by moving through Belgium to get to france. When Germany invaded belgium, Britain wasn't to happy so they joined the war fighting against Germany and the other Central powers. Since Britain joined the war, Canada joined the war.
It was like a chain reaction.
Canadians were considered Storm Troopers in WWI because the Kaiser saw us as the best of the Allies.
He had good reason to think that. The British used Canadian troops where others had failed. As a result the Germans encountered Canadians first when the British made successful advances and saw the Canadians as they viewed their own Storm Troopers, the best in the field of battle.
Canada was a part of World War I because of its close ties to the United Kingdom.

Why was Canada's entry into World War 2 different from in World War I?
Canada chose to enter WWII independently from Great Britain partly as a display of its sovereignty, but there were other factors that influenced this decision. Canada had automatically entered into WWI when Great Britain declared war, as Canada was then a dominion of the British Empire. However, since the signing of the Statute of Westminster in 1931, Canada had gained legislative independence from Great Britain. As a result, when Great Britain declared war on September 1, 1939, Canada was not automatically a part of that declaration. The Canadian parliament debated the issue, and a formal state of war was declared by Canada on September 10, 1939.
