The history of Canada during World War II begins with the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. While the Canadian Armed Forces were eventually active in nearly every theatre of war, most combat was centred in Italy, Northwestern Europe, and the North Atlantic. In all, some 1.1 million Canadians served in the Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force, and in forces across the empire, with approximately 42,000 killed and another 55,000 wounded. During the war, Canada was subject to direct attack in the Battle of the St. Lawrence, and in the shelling of a lighthouse at Estevan Point in British Columbia.

  • بدأت كندا خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية مع الغزو الألماني لبولندا في 1 سبتمبر عام 1939. في حين أن القوات المسلحة الكندية كانت نشطة في نهاية المطاف تقريبًا في كل مسرح الحرب، وكان مركز معظم القتال في إيطاليا، وشمال غرب أوروبا، وشمال الأطلسي. في المجمل، خدم حوالي 1.1 مليون كندي في الجيش الكندي، والبحرية الملكية الكندية، وسلاح الجو الملكي الكندي، وكما خدمت القوات في جميع أنحاء دول الكومنولث، قُتل ما يقارب 42,000 شخص وأُصيب 55,000 شخص بجروح. خلال الحرب، تعرضت كندا لهجوم مباشر في معركة سانت لورانس، وفي قصف منارة في إستيفان بوينت في كولومبيا البريطانية.

As Forças Armadas do Canadá estiveram presentes em quase todos os teatros de guerra, sendo os principais: o da Itália, o do noroeste da Europa e do Atlântico Norte. Ao todo, cerca de 1,1 milhão de soldados canadenses participaram da guerra, com aproximadamente 42.000 mortos e outros 55.000 feridos. Durante a guerra, o Canadá sofreu ataques diretos na Batalha de São Lourenço e um bombardeio destruíu um farol em Estevan Point, na Colúmbia Britânica. (pt)
