Tout partage, cession, en dehors des adhérents de ces documents originaux disposant du double copyright de l’auteur et des Clionautes constitue un vol de propriété intellectuelle.

Nous espérons que vous y penserez, que vous aurez à cœur de proposer et de partager avec nous vos ressources et que vous n’obligerez pas notre mouvement à agir en justice.

[…] When on 4 August, 1914, the cables and the new wireless telegraph flashed the message `War’ across the Atlantic, Canada for the first time found herself flung into the midst of world affairs. Since the conquest of New France, great European conflicts had largely passed her by. Canada had been a remote colony, weak and dependent, with struggles of her own, but she had been kept securely distant from the quarrels of Europe by a wall of British sea power. Now the distant colony, no longer weak and struggling, entered a world of stern dangers and high responsibilities, the world she has been in ever since. This new stage brought sacrifice and heavy burdens for Canada. Yet with them came the rights of nationhood. Out of the vast world conflict Canada became a nation, a full partner in an empire that had been transformed into the British Commonwealth of Nations […]
When the war began there was no sign that it would endanger the national unity that had been built up in the (previous) era […]

They viewed the war as a noble adventure, not as a life-or-death struggle. Their feelings for Britain were those of respect or thoughtful support, not of warm sentiment, and they had too long gone their separate way to feel deeply about Britain’s ally, France. In addition, they were a farming people, and farmers traditionally are harder to enlist than the less firmly rooted population of the towns […]
