Canada was absorbed in their peaceful occupations and thought little of the possibility of war. For one hundred years, peace had reigned between Canada and their neighbor to the south and preparations were being made to celebrate worthily the century of peace.

However, on August 1st, exactly three days before Great Britain entered the war, the Canadian Government became concerned over the danger that threatened the Mother Country. Following this event, through the acting Governor - General, this message was sent to the British Government.

" My advisers....wish to convey to His Majesty's Government the firm assurance that, if unhappily war should ensue, the Canadian people will be united in a common resolve to put forth every effort, and to make every sacrifice necessary to insure the integrity and maintenance of the honour of our Empire."

In response, the British Government sent the following;

"With reference to your telegram. . . His Majesty's Government gratefully welcome the assurance that in the present crisis they may rely on the whole-hearted co-operation of the people of Canada."

Thus, preparations were made by the Canadian Government to support the Mother Country. Within six weeks of the outbreak of war, an army of 33,000 men were enrolled, trained, and embarked the largest single force that had ever crossed the Atlantic.

Since then Canada has continued to give her men, her women, and her treasure, and on the bloody fields of France and Flanders Canadians have won undying fame in the greatest struggle of the ages.

The Dominion of Canada entered the war in 1914 because Britain had declared war on Germany. Under Canada’s constitution at the time, Canada had no formal control over its foreign affairs and such decisions were under the control of the British government. There was a large segment of the population that was highly supportive of Canada supporting Britain in the war. They didn't really had no choice. Hope this helps :)

The correct answer is "hostilities between American Indians and the Colorado militia."

The Wounded Knee Massacre, which occurred in 1890, was a confrontation between Native Americans who belonged to the Minincojou and the Hunkpapa Lakotas and the Colorado Militia, led by Colonel James Forsyth.

As a result of this battle, nearly 300 Native Americans and 25 American soldiers died. In 1990, the US Congress passed a resolution expressing a "deep regret" for the massacre.
