ORIGINAL: tog34 There's a few events that you could go with tbh, I'll just list big contributions Canada made in\ world war 2. -Canada had the third biggest navy in ww2, 95,000 men and women served in the Royal Canadian navy, which was out fitted with 434 commissioned vessels. Canada played a massive royal in the battle of the Atlantic. If it wasn't for Canada bring in supplies to the UK after the fall of France it never would have been able to hold on and fight off Germany. -The Royal Canadian air force, It reached it's peek in 1944 and had a peak strength of 215,200 of all ranks. The Canadians had 35 oversea squadrons and 43 at home, Canada had something called British Commonwealth training plan in which allied pilots would be trained from and sent overseas to fight. -Industrial contribution, this part I feel was huge. After the fall of France the UK lost 75,000 of it's 80,000 military vehicles it had during the early bits of the war, so Canada was charged with replacing these vehicles. Canadian industry produced more than 800,000 military transport vehicles, 50,000 tanks, 40,000 field, naval and anti-aircraft guns, plus 1,700,000 small arms. 168,000 vehicles were kept for the Canadian royal army which would make it the most mechanized army in the field of ww2. I feel that maybe there should be events for the uk where they can get more destroyers from Canada and some goes with the air force, the British Commonwealth training plan was huge because it tried most of the pilots for the war effort. So maybe some events for that so that you can boost your air force maybe. Lastly I would say maybe an event or two about gearing up Canada's war industry, we heavily supplied the allies with aluminum, which I think Canada produced around 10% of all the allied aluminum production. A side note I would like to add is that after the fall of France and the UK was preparing the defence of the island, the Canadians were the most mobile force in the army at that time, so they would have been used as reserves. I feel that Canada should be able to build mechanized units if they can't already. Those are very interesting data, could you please supply any links? I would be very interested in taking a look for a mod I have in mind
