Canada's Contributions to D- Day

Yes, I feel that Canada's contributions to D-Day were important compared to other nations because Canada was an original nation that was part of the alllies.
Canada was an important part to this day, in the end, due to the fact that we were the first of all 5 allied group landings to have secured their own beach. I feel as though, if Canada was not a part of D-Day then the allies would not have been successful in taking over france and regaining control.

So yes Canada's contribution to this day in the war was important because we proved to the other nations that we are an independent nation and we can accomplish whatever is given to us if we really work to it and properly plan it.

Dieppe Raid

In my opinion I think that the Raid on Dieppe was not a military success due to the fact that we lost over half of our men and had no plans on how we were going to attack and how they planned on moving up the land with tanks that had no space to move because of the wall that separated to land from the water front.
At the same time I also think that the raid was a success because even though we lost a lot of our men and had to surrender we still benefited from the raid in the future. The raid was helpful for future battles, we ended up winning the battle of D-Day, the battle of Stalingrad against the Germans to regain more power thanks to the raid. Due to the failure at Dieppe the Battle of Ortona was a success because they remembered how bad the element of surprise was, and their plans were with the tanks on the front so they rethought how to get through the towns to finally over take the Germans, the Italian Campaign was also a success because of new techniques and that were later used for urban warfare.
In the end the Canadians had taken over Rome, and Ortona in result of the changes that they made in their surprise of attack, and their techniques to gain back control.

Trying to Find a Home

At the time of the S.S. St.Louis, all Jewish refugees had escaped and were now aboard St. Louis and on their way to Cuba hoping for a safe place to start a new life, but Cuba did not allow the refugees to live in Cuba. After being turned down by Cuba the SS St. Louis headed to Canada, but that this time Canada was against the Jews and would not allow them to live here. This reveals that at this point in time the Canadians we not very helpful people and were very strict and religious. Canada was a very religious country at the time of world war 2 because all the Jews wanted was to be able to find a country far enough away from Europe so that they would feel safe. Canada did not help out the Jewish due to a strict religion and not wanting to let any Jewish in unless they had come from Britain due to the fact that Canada only ever wanted to help Britain because of the amount of help that we got from them in world war 1 to be known as the Independent Country. Now that Canada was known for being independent they wanted to stick to their laws and even the government had disagreed with helping the Jewish and it was very selfish of them. the Jewish wanted nothing more than to have a country help live a safer life away from Hitler, the holocaust, and the war in their country.
