• The Second World War had significant cultural, political and economic effects on Canada, including the conscription crisis in 1944 which affected unity between francophones and anglophones.

• The war effort strengthened the Canadian economy and furthered Canada's global position.

• Not only was Canada's war effort in World War II far more extensive than that in World War I, but it also had a much more lasting impact on Canadian society.

• By the end of the war, more than 1,000,000 Canadians (about 50,000 of whom were women) had served in the three services.
