On War & SocietyDid You Fall Into The Vimy Trap?The Battle of Vimy Ridge was fought in April 1917 during the First World War. Four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force attacked the German stronghold of Hill 145 on the morning of 9 April, and three days later, had successfully pushed the German army off of the ridge. Since those cold and wet April days one hundred years ago, Vimy has for many Canadians emerged as a symbol of Canadian nationhood. Ian McKay and Jamie Swift last year published The Vimy Trap: Or, How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Great War. Its exploration of the “childish ir...

Human Rights a DayApril 9, 1017, Vimy RidgeCanadian troops begin battle to reclaim Vimy Ridge in France.On a ridge 12 kilometres northeast of Arras, France, in September 1914, the German Army constructed and fortified a site with bunkers, caves and artillery-proof trenches. Vimy Ridge’s height gave them such good observation powers that attacking forces failed to penetrate it for years. While the Germans destroyed Arras with heavy artillery, French attempts to seize control of the ridge cost them some 150,000 casualties. In early April 1917, British troops commenced heavy artillery fire on the Germans in hopes of wearing them down and influencing them to concentrate defences in the wrong lo...

stcmuseum podcastsMuseum Chat Live! E105 - Remembering Vimy RidgeApril 9, 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. For many, Vimy is a widely-loved symbol of Canadian identity. On April 9, 1917, all four divisions of the Canadian Army came together to fight for the first time in the First World War to successfully smash through German defences and the world's expectations. As a result of the Battle (and many, many other contributions) Canada was awarded it's own seat at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, a rarity for other British Imperial dominions that were otherwise represented by Great Britain.
