On this day in 1889

[Darunia]

Haha... poor little Canada. Canada's presence was token, and unless I'm very much mistaken almost entirely European. And what of Canada's contributions to the Battle of Midway and Leyte Gulf... the Pacific war was the US v. Japan, with bit contributions from Britain and Australia (i.e. very minute.) Europe was the US in concert with Britain and Russia... and a little bit of all the occupied countries, but theirs was not what I would call entirely necessary. True, they helped, but it's not like the US and Britain would have been swept off of Normandy if the Canadian's hadn't arrived. America was the Arsenal of Democracy. And Canada was the Arsenal's hat.
