After reading through an old book of mine I cam across something that I never knew, and after checking it out it appears to be true. In 1914, over 30,000 Canadians joined the army forming the 1st Canadian Division. About 70%, or 21,000 of these men were British immigrants. So in reality only 9,000 native born Canadians joined up. Of course later on more and more men joined up, but going on just the initial figures is it possible that Canada did not want to go to war in 1914?
WI Canada decided not to join the British in Europe? While I am still seeking out if these facts are true, I am wondering if this is signs of reluctance to join in the war that was to only last three months.
