A lithographed poster for Canadian victory bonds during World War I. Canada's contributions to World War I changed the country's history and enabled it to become more independent, while opening a deep rift between the French and English speaking populations. Battles such as Vimy Ridge, Second Battle of Passchendaele and the Battle of the Somme are still remembered today by anglophones as part of Canada's founding myth, to both its identity and culture.Image credit: Unknown lithographer, from photo by Brown Bros.
