Excerpt from The World War: A History of the Nations and Empires Involved and a Study of the Events Culminating in the Great ConflictTo Canada as a country the world-war of 1914 - 15 came with the sudden shock of some vast disaster, some disturbance of nature too deep and profound to understand in any brief space of time. Its government and leading statesmen, of course, knew something of the preceding situation, something of the crisis which had been developing for years, something of the war of naval construction and military preparation which had anticipated the actual con¿ict. In' the various Imperial Conferences which had been held from 1902 onwards and especially in 1909 and 1911, the British Admiralty and War Office had laid before the Colonial Delegates every avail able fact which could be confidentially submitted to them. To the masses of the people, however, these things were unknown, peace principles and propaganda had been so long before them, the danger of invasion or actual war was so distant and unreal, that the whole thing appeared impossible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
