    World War 1 had a profound impact on shaping Canada's national identity. The war introduced concepts like total war and nationalism. It resulted in unprecedented casualties, especially on the brutal Western Front. Canada struggled with being unprepared for battle. However, Canada gained recognition by forming their own combat corps and achieving victory at Vimy Ridge. The war greatly expanded Canada's industry and economy but also led to restrictions on civil liberties through measures like the War Measures Act and internment camps. Overall, while the war had many negative impacts, it is seen as an experience that accelerated Canada's autonomy and sense of nationhood.
