About this listen

The year 1917 witnessed harrowing events that reshaped nations and define identities.

Canada's burgeoning national identity is forged during the Battle of Vimy Ridge, an event that later would be hailed as the nation’s coming-of-age. All four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force fight together, achieving a resounding victory against formidable German defenses. Flush with a palpable sense of national pride and accomplishment, the Canadian press ensures the echoes of bravery and sacrifice reverberate across the Atlantic.

Meanwhile, the United States grapples with the agonizing decision of whether to abandon its neutrality and enter the war. President Woodrow Wilson, re-elected in 1916 on the promise of keeping America out of the conflict, walks a tightrope of political peril. Tensions mount as German submarine warfare intensifies, threatening American lives and commerce.

Eventually, Wilson concludes that the United States can no longer stand idly by and asks Congress for a declaration of war, marking a decisive turning point in the conflict.

The fourth installment of the A Tale of Two Nations: Canada, U.S. and WWI series offers a compelling and informative journey back in time. Will the chaos of war forge paths no one could predict? Discover the untold stories that shaped our shared history and see through the eyes of those who witnessed the world change forever.
