Right from the early skirmishes between Vikings and Dorset Indians -- fought along the shores of present-day Newfoundland -- control of Canada has been frequently contested.
Forged in Fire includes early tribal warfare, the Seven Years' War, the Plains of Abraham, the American War of Independence, the War of 1812, the rebellions of Lower and Upper Canada, Canadians in the U.S. Civil War, the Fenian Raids, the revolt in the Northwest, our support of the British Empire in the Sudan and South Africa, as well as extensive coverage of Canada's contribution to the Great War. Plus, weapons profiles from the Tomahawk missile to the tank.
Following the Great War, Canada took her first independent
steps on the world stage. As a signatory on the Versailles Treaty "to end
all wars," our fledgling nation accepted an immense global responsibility
to protect the peace beyond our own shores. In the subsequent eight decades,
Canada has answered the call on numerous occasions: fighting when necessary and
peacekeeping where possible.
