		Canada has always been aware that its existence has to depend on something else than sheer power; and so internally and externally it has attempted to give itself to the virtues of conciliation, compromise, pluralism, and acceptance of difference.
		The shift in Canada is partly a result of US control of large segments of the Canadian economy, of pressures under the free trade agreements to merge the two social cultures, and a general move in the Western world towards greater reliance on market forces for the production and distribution of wealth.
		In Canada, the tendency to mirror, echo, or extend developments in the USA is increasingly a characteristic of the society.

		In Canada itself, the conflict widened the breach between English and French Canadians, particularly after the Conscription Crisis of 1917, which also destroyed the unity and esprit de corps of both the Liberal and Conservative parties.
		Canada's sacrifices and accomplishments on the field of battle transformed it--in military terms if not in constitutional law--from a colony into a sovereign nation.
		This status was reinforced when Canada, along with the other dominions, not only acquired separate membership in the League of Nations but also the right to separate election to the League's council and separate membership in the International Labour Organization.
