After finishing up their training, the 10th Battalion, with the rest of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, were deployed to France. The 10th would find themselves in the Ypres Salient, near the town of Sint-Juulien, where they would receive a baptism in blood.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcast “Sinking” by Philip Ravenel, used under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 10th Battalion, which came to be known as the Fighting 10th, was created from the prairies. Men from the Calgary Rifles and the Winnipeg Light Infantry were all a part of the 10th, along with men from the rest of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Over the course of the three and a half years that the unit saw action in Europe, they would receive more than 20 battle honours, and participated in every major Canadian battle during the entire war. They set the record for the most decorations earned by a Canadian unit in a single battle, during the Battle of Hill 70. They were at the 2nd Battle of Ypres, the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Whenever I think of the CEF, it is the 10th Battalion that comes to mind, because they seemed to be everywhere that the CEF went into action. This series will be covering the 10th Battalion in depth. But before we do that, we need to look a bit more about the overall picture of recruiting men, outfitting them, and training them.

As the 2nd Boer War became one of attrition, the British Empire turned to a scorched earth policy, which included the use of concentration camps. The Canadians would help with this, however the actions of one unit would also see three Victoria Crosses awarded in one day.

The Canadian contingent would find themselves right in the thick of things as they were put into action against the Boers in early 1900. It was then that Canada started to earn its reputation on the battlefield.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcast “Sinking” by Philip Ravenel, used under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the months leading up to the Second Boer War, much debate was had in Canada as to whether or not they would provide military assistance.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcast “Sinking” by Philip Ravenel, used under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1899, Canada sent soldiers overseas to fight on a foreign shore for the first time. In the first episode of our series on the Boer War, we look at the roots of the conflict in South Africa.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcast “Sinking” by Philip Ravenel, used under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the fallout from Father Le Loutre's war, and the start of the Seven Years War, the British sought to solve the situation in Acadia by removing those they thought of as rebels. The expulsion of the Acadians - Le Grande Derangement - was underway.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcast “Sinking” by Philip Ravenel, used under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After enjoying relatively prosperous times for around 30 years under British rule, the outbreak of war in Europe would lead to conflict again on the North American shores, culminating with the decision to deport the Acadians from their homeland.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the British took control of Acadia after the Treaty of Utrecht, the peace was very tenuous. The Acadian people would be under the thumb of their new overlords, but they would still find a way to thrive.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcast “Sinking” by Philip Ravenel, used under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) “Cinematic Trailer Music” by Gregor Quendel, used under Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The peace in the Acadian settlements didn't last too long, as war from Europe once again made its way to the shores of North America, pitting the English and their Indigenous allies and the French and their Indigenous allies in Queen Anne's War, which changed the history of Acadia forever.  Visit our website: https://www.canadianhistorypodcast.caVisit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/canadianhistoryVisit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canadianhistorywithstevenwilsonCheck us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNfOI7uxJ04GIn7O_b1yarACheck out our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ca5ddea0We are on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canadianhistorypodcast “Sinking” by Philip Ravenel, used under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Acadians looked to heal the wounds from their civil war, they would find themselves having to deal with their neighbours to the south - New England - as the 17th century drew to a close.

The odds were, in a manner of speaking, against the Acadians, but they would continue to grow and develop a strong culture that was proud of the land they now called home.

Why is the Expulsion of the Acadians so integral to Canadian history?
