Canada's Alliances and their Implications

In the Second World War, Canada fought as a junior alliance partner, rather than as a colony. However, during the war, the main orientation of Canada's alliance structure shifted rapidly from London to Washington. C.P. Stacey's Canada and the Age of Conflict, listed under "General Works" in the General References section, is a good introduction to Anglo-Canadian and Canadian-American relationships, while his Arms, Men and Governments, listed in this section under "Policy and Strategy", examines in detail the questions of defence and military policies between Canada and its two major allies. By contrast, in The Half-million, Stacey and Barbara Wilson concentrate on a single element of the Canadian relationship with Britain -- the presence of large numbers of Canadian troops in a foreign country.
