In World War II, Canada played a role that is no different that
the role that many other countries did -- their role was to send soldiers and materiel to be used
in the war. Canadians participated in fighting in all theaters of the war. This included the
D-Day invasion in which Canada played a major role. So Canada's role was the same as every other
country's role.
Canada was not the most populous or the biggest
country in WWII and so its involvement was not as significant (in absolute terms) as that of the
United States, for example. However, over 1 million Canadians served in uniform and almost
100,000 were either killed or wounded.
