The Evolution of Canada’s WWII Memory

The Second World War reshaped Canada’s identity, propelling it onto the world stage and sparking debates over national unity and cultural sovereignty. The Fight for History traces how Canadians have alternately celebrated, downplayed, and reinterpreted their wartime contributions over the past 75 years.

From the shifting symbolism of Vimy Ridge to tensions between veterans and wider society, the narrative explores how postwar growth and cross-border influences impacted collective remembrance.

By chronicling efforts to restore a more balanced account of Canada’s role in the global conflict, this book offers fresh insights for scholars and general readers interested in history, memory, and national identity.

  • Detailed analysis of Canadian war memory
  • Examination of key battles and public discourse
  • Insights into veterans’ perspectives and cultural shifts
