Canada's military alliances have involved patriots in foreign wars and brought death to more Canadian than American fighting men in the past century. The history of Canada's military alliances is traced back to 1812, and alternatives to pacts that commit us to fight the wars of other nations are explored. Host Gwynne Dyer leaves us to ponder the value of "acting as if we were just another middle-sized European country." Part one of the series.

Series info

This series of films, written and hosted by journalist and military historian Gwynne Dyer, examines Canada's role in the international power game, its tradition of alliances with world powers, and our future role on the world stage. The series combines recent footage shot in ten countries with archival films dating back to the Boer War (1899) and interviews with noted military leaders, politicians, and frontline troops.
