Canada's role in the wars it has fought has always been very understated, much like with other former British dominions. The UK receives most of the credit for what they do. So to go back and give attention to their merits is really doing an honorable service to them, and giving credit where it is truly deserved. So thank you for giving credit to the brave Canadians who fought to victory in many conflicts, and their displays of heroism within.
Sadly even despite more information coming out, some still refuse to acknowledge the over seas, stating how we all were still under British power, the same arguments tend to happen with the War of 1812, Americans saying the war of 1812 was between America and Britain, not America and Canada, even though Britain was currently in a war with France during 1812.
@@somebodykares1 Well the men who burned down the white house were directly from Britain and the hero of the war for Canadians, Isaac Brock was also directly from Britain and was posted there.
@@somebodykares1 yes the founding stock Americans who fought against the crown were British themselves. Canada is basically loyalist America with a significant French population. Scottish people are British btw, Scotland is in Britain.
@@somebodykares1 you don't seem to know talking as if British and Scottish are separate. You should've said English not British then. Anyways almost half of Nova Scotia identifies as English, Scottish ancestry is only 2-3% above English there.
@@somebodykares1 yes and the inhabitants of the UK are the English, Scottish, Welsh and Ulster-Scots. Meaning they're all British. Before the union there was no British identity.
We must NOT forget Australia's role at Kapyong either! They were incredible warriors there and at one point even did a bayonet charge to drive the Chinese back. Salute to the Aussies and Canucks from the US! 🇺🇸

Fun Fact: Canadian Armed Forces Special Forces unit "Joint Task Force 2 (JTF2)" hold the record for the most confirmed Taliban and Al-Qaeda kills by a special forces unit. This includes even more kills than units like the US Navy SEALS, British SAS, and German KSK.
The Taliban's first encounter with Canadian troops: "Why are those bushes shooting at us?" Reason: our government was so beyond pathetic that during our first deployment, we did not have proper desert fatigues for our troops, so they landed into a desert warzone wearing their iconic forest greens... ...also, we initially sent in tanks with no AC units Most hilarious & insanely Canadian moment of our Afgan deployment: The Toronto Star, one of the country's largest & (supposedly) "most respected news papers" (insert copious laughter here), printed a front page story of high ranking Taliban commanders being captured by "American special forces" The problem? The troops were wearing their forest greens, and were in fact our own Canadian JTF2 operatives, because only in Canada are we so cheap as to send our military into a desert warzone without proper camo. (...and also, the Toronto Star have always been far leftist garbage, so this mistake was surprising to no one with a functioning brain!)
@@drunkenastarte5243 Well the reason Canadian Forces were wearing green camo in the early years of the War on Terror was because for the last of the entire century, the Canadian Armed Forces were preparing for the Cold War, likely to be fought in Europe. This setting required Canadian forces to utilize the colour green, and Canadian troops fighting in desert environments was not expected. While its unfortunate Canadian service personnel had to wear green in the dessert in the early stages of the Invasion of Afghanistan, Canada did eventually adopt a desert camo pattern in 2002 for our troops. Also, you mentioned Canada sending in tanks with no AC units. Canada sent tanks to Afghanistan in 2006, and yes, they were unfortutnally without AC systems, as again, Canada was not expecting to send troops to desert environments, and our gear was more centered around defending Canada and Europe. Canadian Forces got around this hurdle however by primarily conducting operations at night or in the early morning, and avoiding the hottest times of the day (10am-6pm) if possible. Canadian tank crews also hydrated frequently and were equipped with cooling suits which did aid in their battle against the heat. Fortunatly in 2007, Canadian forces began utilizing tanks with better cooling systems. Now about your point about the Toronto Star, I don't know why you feel a mistake by a civilian news organization is a representation of Canada's ability to conduct war. I don't see any link between the capability of Canadian troops abroad and a local news paper back home. Overall, I'm sorry Canada was not perfect for you when we entered Afghanistan, however we quickly overcame our challenges and gave valued assistance to our allies.

@drunkenastarte5243 I don't have any love for the Toronto Star, but they're centre-left at most. The way news organizations work in Canada makes a far left news organization even less likely to succeed than far right ones, even if you take the commonly accepted (but highly contestable) opinion that left-leaning media dominates Canadian press organizations. I'd say myself that the most successful news media in Canada is pretty consistently moderate, and where television and radio tend to have more centre-left representation, print media (newspapers and magazines are so digitized now that print media is a bit of a misnomer, but got no better term) comprise of more right-leaning organizations, especially with the size of Postmedia Network, which is 66% owned by a hedge fund closely tied to the US Republican party. Don't disagree with anything you're saying about military funding, though. The Navy especially is in an absolute mess for a country surrounded by three oceans.

Ok, fine you guys are right. My statement isn’t entirely true. But you gotta admit Canada’s military history is still really impressive. From being the only country to successfully invade the American heartland and burn down the white house! To the weight they pulled during both world wars, to the countless other wars Canada has helped the states and UK in

The Chinese actually had FAR worse casualties than the UN force, plus their 1951 invasion attempt into South Korea (after North Korea already tried in 1950) ended up being a bloodbath failure. The US, British Commonwealth and other UN forces even inflicted a blow on them that year called Operation Killer, which was meant to totally wipe out a section of the Chinese and North Korean armies so that the battlefield could be made more even for a counteroffensive. War truly is hell on earth. Thank Heaven we saved South Korea from the Kim family and their insanity.
Canada between wars: World peace guys we gotta keep it calm and peaceful The spirit of a single Canadian soldier during a war: This town is mine now and WHO WILL OPPOSE ME!😂
Fun fact Canada was first western country to declare war on the empire of Japan after they attack Pearl Harbor in fact they declared war the same day the US declared war a day later. Also fun fact the Canadian who signed Japan's surrender treaty eyes weren't working very well so he signed his name under the French line so they had to make new lines for everyone.

Finally! A real accurate Canada! And yes, the Germans were terrified of Canada. In fact Adolf even was planning to help the French part of Canada in the hopes to make Canada fight itself instead of sending its troops over but it didnt work. Next you should make a video representing the battles of a single French Canadian called Léo Major who liberated a whole city by himself in WW2.
@@urbanwarchief yes at first the leader of Québec (french Canada) was accused of being pro nazi. Because of hitler's propositions , but also because most french Canadiens were against the war. Many even rioted on multiple occasions to stop the conscriptions. But in the end the British convinced us to help when they told us we would not be sent to fight for some British colony. We'd be used only for the Liberation of France and to make sure we don't get tricked, they didn't the whole Normandy planning in Québec city at the Château Frontenac hotel and had the media record and show us everything. On top of this, they stopped the conscription and made a voluntary force only. Léo Major was amongst the first voluntary force.
As a korean, thank you for your service canada and Australia. And I was surprised that kapyong in 1951 was north korean territory because of, of course, 6.25 cold war and we were getting pounded from north korea.
Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in Canadian history for a few reasons: -it was the first instance where Canadian troops were under the control of a Canadian general, Arthur Currie -It was the first time that all four divisions of Canadian troops fought as one -This Battle was what got Canada more attention on the world stage, also being the moment where Canada became Canada and not just a British colony -With only a shoestring army of 100000, Canada took Vimy Ridge in 4 days in comparison to the French and the Brits, who with far larger armies, couldn’t take back after years -Canada owns Vimy ridge as a thank you from France, where the artillery craters have been overgrown by grass, and also gives Canada a kind of land border with France, though not officially recognized -While not related directly to Vimy Ridge, the Germans gave Canadian troops the nickname “Storm Troopers” Overall, out of the 100000 troops in Vimy Ridge, there were 12000 casualties, 3600 of which were fatal.

Same
If you do we may let you be when we take over the world that is if or when we finally get a good prime minister that would be able to rule the world probably not going to happen for a while though so move to Canada while you still can(:
Canada in peace: I’m so sorry😢
Canada in war: I am no longer sorry >:)
As a Canadian myself this is pretty accurate because any war we fought in ourselves with or without other countries even before we were officially established we have never lost a single War
You just made me so happy! We get forgotten about a lot and this was amazing!
Canada in peace time: I'm sorry
Canada during wartime: you're sorry
Oh Canada... I can say that your definitely not sorry for what your about to do 😆🤣... Plus as a Canadian myself... Were very nice and sweet to you... BUT if you piss us off we'll talk bad stuff behind your back and in war we demand BLOOD 😈😈😈😈😈
Lol 😂

Thanks for featuring the strength of my country. Canada is truly the best
shoutout to Leo Major that liberated a town by himself after seeing his best friend's death
The part that takes part in 1951 is also from Léo Major.
@@williamcote4208 ah yes, hill 355, where his commanding officer could hear the artillery shells landing over the radio
edit: he also earned a DCM for it
@@captaincombat248I knew we were ruthless and kinda crazy but that DEFINETLY takes the cake.
It definitely was NOT 1 volley either. Dude had MULTIPLE artillery barrages targeted on himself.
Crazy.
Damn man as a Canadian I always love to see our history both acknowledged and respected, thank you so much!
Canadians are friendly, but as history has shown we’re also no one to f*ck with
Your natives can test for that

Thanks for helping us Yanks out in Korea! You guys along with the Brits and the rest of that coalition went out of your way to aid us in stopping blatant Communist aggression and helping South Korea stay alive.
As a Canadian, I seriously love this!!
Lets be honest you wont stop watching this masterpiece 👍
As a Canadian this is accurate on how we define you were not sorry during these wars, we’re much more chill now though (maybe)
Canada normally: the Geneva convention
Canada at war: the Geneva suggestion
Okay, but you gotta admit the second battle of Ypres was badass. The French fled but is Canadians held the germans
1:23 I literally couldn't control my laugh
I adore this and must say that this is an accurate depiction of it. Very good videos as always ♥️✨🇨🇦
As a Canadian I greatly appreciate the time you took to research our part in history, no one else would do that so thanks bud.
Thank you but I think someone else should get it
@@Peaceking500 that's a bot

Thank you Mr. Spherical for making this video.
I never thought Canada was that brutal in fight. I always see Canada as a peaceful nation who is the brother of the USA and USA guarantees security for Canada but now I am convinced Canada has big balls too.
👍👍👍👍.

Germany, remembering that time we weaponized our rations, psychology, and sprinkled in some grenades at the end: *nervous sweating*
Not just rations but also pretending to do a Christmas truce.
Can’t forget that one time in WWII were a Montreal soldier liberated a town from german control on his own, I guess
I love Canada 🍁 ♥️🇨🇦♥️🇯🇵♥️
Aww, we love you, too 🤗💖🇨🇦
@@cybercat29 😊
Canada’s just built different ❤
He built like a Ball
@@Savannah-fy3ue lmao got me deing
Although I loved the video, I also feel like there should've also been a special cameo of a French-Canadian soldier with an eye patch to represent Léo Major, the one-eyed scout who liberated an entire Dutch town all by himself, specially because two of the main battles he participated in were both in the Netherlands and in Korea, just like the rest of the Canadian army.
It was he who stole the German tank during operation anger and led the army to kapjong
Underrated comment
TLDR
Leo Major = super soldier
PS French Canadians are built different
Well, technically, he was in the video, he was the guy who called the artillery, he just didn’t wear his eyepatch for the Korean War.
French, English, native, Irish, etc. we are all proud Canadians! Some disagreements, fights, but all loved as Canadians!🇨🇦
And then there is Canadians like Léo Major to recapture an entire city alone and save an ally brigade, and the such of Jean Cantius Garand maker of the famous and technologically advanced M1 Garand.
Yea.... its a well known fact that once they hear "war", Canadians go beast mode
Indeed! We go into Bat Poop Crazy Beast Mode 😠😡🤬👿🇨🇦

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH MR.SPHERICAL. this makes me feel really good because my entire heritage is from the kingdom of Prussia and I have finally seen a Prussian countryball and it makes me feel so good. But rip all my fellow Prussians.
Canadians are not passive. They are just very civil and polite except for the unlikely situations where they do not have to be. Civil and polite are not the same as nice and kind.
I saw a comment once that American's have a dial when it comes to military violence and Canadian's have a switch. Not entirely wrong.
0:30 This whole scene is just muah. The way Canada rolls out😎
I'm a little surprised you didn't do the War of 1812. As an American, I freely admit Canada kicked our asses in that war.
“I raised him well.” - 🇬🇧
Literally the only history RUclipsr to give Canada any recognition

Just wanna say, Canada is the only country to never lose a war. Proud to be Canadian, truly strong and free!
Cough cough *Afghan war* cough cough
@@yeehawmcfly1794 exactly
What about Brazil?
Ok, fine you guys are right. My statement isn’t entirely true. But you gotta admit Canada’s military history is still really impressive. From being the only country to successfully invade the American heartland and burn down the white house! To the weight they pulled during both world wars, to the countless other wars Canada has helped the states and UK in
@@yeehawmcfly1794 aww fuck I can't believe their record is broken
The Battle of Vimy Ridge is the most important battle in Canaan history in my opinion
"The Maple Leaf... fall ever" 😂
It is nice to see historical footage animated
Everyone at the end of the video was terrified of Canada 🇨🇦
Canada at peace: I’m sorry
Canada at war: Y O U R E S O R R Y
After merciless fighting , the canadians feel actually deeply sorry again what they did. But then they have to fight again into monster mode . And that goes on and on.... 😢
0:16 the coat of arms on the flag Is different even though they are both the Dominion of canada anyways thanks for adding my country Canada into your video! 🇨🇦 🍁
Same here
As Canadian , we got recked in the Korean War , we fought once then “regroup” till the war ended , while having severe casualties.
The Chinese actually had FAR worse casualties than the UN force, plus their 1951 invasion attempt into South Korea (after North Korea already tried in 1950) ended up being a bloodbath failure. The US, British Commonwealth and other UN forces even inflicted a blow on them that year called Operation Killer, which was meant to totally wipe out a section of the Chinese and North Korean armies so that the battlefield could be made more even for a counteroffensive. War truly is hell on earth. Thank Heaven we saved South Korea from the Kim family and their insanity.
The fact that canada never ever lost a war make this video ten times scarier
No we lose wars all the time. We lose a war within ourselves everytime we try NOT to commit War crimes 🤣
Canada between wars: World peace guys we gotta keep it calm and peaceful
The spirit of a single Canadian soldier during a war: This town is mine now and WHO WILL OPPOSE ME!😂
As a Canadian This is VERY accurate. Awesome job.
As an American I'm so proud of our northern brothers the family thing you know
"Shuuuuush don't talk about France he is still sensitive about it even if we are just half-bros" but seriously Right back at you Murica Bro!
Fun fact Canada was first western country to declare war on the empire of Japan after they attack Pearl Harbor in fact they declared war the same day the US declared war a day later.
Also fun fact the Canadian who signed Japan's surrender treaty eyes weren't working very well so he signed his name under the French line so they had to make new lines for everyone.
As a Canadian, I know all of this stuff, we are still the same
As an Indian, I think role of British Colonies is shadowed in World Wars, Whether It be Canadians or Australians
I can't possibly think how UK would defeat Germans by 1945 without any colonies
"canadians are so nice they wouldnt hurt a fly"
canadian soldiers:
The scene that did not make the final cut...
"Burning down the White House 2 times..."
Wow, I like it how everyone is destroying everyone. Even strong people!!
As A Canadain I love seeing our naiton being the most underrated yet feared Nations in the wars
Don't mess with Canada. You see how violent we get when playing our favorite game. Now imagine if we weren't having fun
Yeah Imagine if we didn't followed our favourite Player core book The Geneva Checklist... oh it's called Geneva Convention... wait WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THOSE THINGS! 😳
As a Canadian, canada was one of the most strongest countries back then and now it’s pretty weak with 100 000 soldiers but since now it’s more peaceful, it’s the 12th most safest country in the world 🌎
Who would win?
1: An entire german city
2: 1 canadian boi with an eye patch
Canada:Spills Maple syrup on Germany
Canada:Sorry
Germany having flashbacks:I-its ok..
Canada used to have a pretty powerful military back in the day, too bad it's such a mess now
Every time a War comes around, people forget about Canada. They get reminded again, every time.
Love it, I was in Belgium last year and the minute they found it was Canadian. It was awesome same thing when I was in Amsterdam.
I travel to Ypres, and the cemetery was absolutely manicured perfectly. Boy was I feeling proud to be a Canadian boy.
All I’ve been waiting for was for you to make more Countryverse videos.
You actually told the story of Léo Major, a Québécois…
Yes & he deserves all the praise he gets! Question though are you annoyed he was called Canadian here instead of Quebecois? Quebec is distinct & has a great history & culture, but is still apart of Canada. Hell the original Canadian name came from Quebec
@@Ghostvertigo He's mainly Québécois, and I am annoyed yes because the Brits will consider him like one of theirs, but he's ethnically French.
@@Ghostvertigothey are French Canadians! They are not separate from Canada, they are proud Canadians too and loved! That’s why our 2 Canadian languages are English/french!
@@smashboomdoesnt matter about ethnicity, French Canadians and “québécois” are still proud Canadians, French helped build shape Canada, we are all Canadians! That’s why our 2 main languages are English/french taught in all schools!
@@TheBaBaTV Meh most Québécois I know want to be independent, just look at the last referendum for independance that was not even a 1% of favor for Canada
bro this never gets old
Canada: Oh, hey guys! Who wants some Maple Syrup for their….. China: Ohhhhhhhh……… *Canada changes into OG flag*
As a Canadian, we are honoured to have our turn in this.
Thank you!
Finally! A real accurate Canada! And yes, the Germans were terrified of Canada. In fact Adolf even was planning to help the French part of Canada in the hopes to make Canada fight itself instead of sending its troops over but it didnt work.
Next you should make a video representing the battles of a single French Canadian called Léo Major who liberated a whole city by himself in WW2.
That is actually interesting to know
@@urbanwarchief yes at first the leader of Québec (french Canada) was accused of being pro nazi. Because of hitler's propositions , but also because most french Canadiens were against the war. Many even rioted on multiple occasions to stop the conscriptions. But in the end the British convinced us to help when they told us we would not be sent to fight for some British colony. We'd be used only for the Liberation of France and to make sure we don't get tricked, they didn't the whole Normandy planning in Québec city at the Château Frontenac hotel and had the media record and show us everything. On top of this, they stopped the conscription and made a voluntary force only. Léo Major was amongst the first voluntary force.
@@urbanwarchief here is a video on the exploits of Léo Major ruclips.net/video/eFf1UfVa8Lc/видео.html

Make an animation about the Battle of Kapyong! And please include Australia & New Zealand!
As a Canadian (in the royal canadian air forces stuff) im happy to see our history of war getting recognized!
As a korean, thank you for your service canada and Australia.
And I was surprised that kapyong in 1951 was north korean territory because of, of course, 6.25 cold war and we were getting pounded from north korea.
And India, new Zealand, and south Africa
Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in Canadian history for a few reasons:
-it was the first instance where Canadian troops were under the control of a Canadian general, Arthur Currie
-It was the first time that all four divisions of Canadian troops fought as one
-This Battle was what got Canada more attention on the world stage, also being the moment where Canada became Canada and not just a British colony
-With only a shoestring army of 100000, Canada took Vimy Ridge in 4 days in comparison to the French and the Brits, who with far larger armies, couldn’t take back after years
-Canada owns Vimy ridge as a thank you from France, where the artillery craters have been overgrown by grass, and also gives Canada a kind of land border with France, though not officially recognized
-While not related directly to Vimy Ridge, the Germans gave Canadian troops the nickname “Storm Troopers”
Overall, out of the 100000 troops in Vimy Ridge, there were 12000 casualties, 3600 of which were fatal.
