The Battle of Fort George

May 20, 2020 14:05 - 16 minutes

The War of 1812 is a vital part of Canada's early history. We, as Canadians, love to throw out the fact that we burned down the White House but the war was not all victories for Canada and Britain. Sometimes, we lost and that was the case with today's topic of The Battle of Fort George. It was a victory for America, but one that did not last.

It was the deadliest battle for Canadians during the Korean War, and while it was a victory, the battle was hidden from Canadians back home.

The Japanese Internment Of WW2

It is a dark chapter in Canada's history. After Pearl Harbour, fueled by anti-Japanese racism, the Canadian government authorized the internment of 22,000 Japanese Canadians, 80% of which were born in Canada.
