After the Second World War Canada Grew closer to the united states?

Yes they did, primarily because they moved further away from the United Kingdom. Canada had originally been a colony, but over time they have become more and more independent, along with the rest of the Commonwealth countries. WWII marked a very fast decline in the British Empire. \n\nCanadians are very sensitive about the subject, and survey after survey shows that there is a lot of anti-American bias among Canadians. The French Canadians harbor their main resentment against the English Candians, but in English Canada, their "conservatives" are more apt to like the US, and their "liberals" (American definition) are more apt to dislike the US (Ha! just as American liberals/Democrats are apt to dislike the US!) Western Canada is by and large conservative and very comfortable with Americans. But, the fact remains that Canadians are very similar to Americans, much moreso than they are to any other country, so it's sort of the resentment between a big brother and his kid sister.

Not speaking for Canadians, but as a US citizen currently living in Canada and enjoying the Canadian way of life, I have noticed that much of Canada dislikes US for a very simple reason...\n\nBeing that the US and Canada are so close in geography and social values, when the US makes a huge decision it greatly affects Canadians. Like it or not, Canada depends a lot on the US. \n\nJust imagine being forced to abide by certain rules which you had no say in creating? Classic example is the missile defence program. Canada was initially against it (and somewhat is but that is another issue) but because the US is so big and economically strong, they [the Canadians] have very little choice but to concede a bit, which angers Canadians.\n\nThey just don't want to be lead around by someone they don't agree with. I don't blame them, I wouldn't either. When the US gets a decent president again, Canadians and US relations will get much better, trust me.

when the war started in 1939, the Allies were Poland, Great Britain, France, and other smaller countries. By 1941, the Us, China, Russia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of the rest of the world was embroiled against the Axis forces.

1) The US government, despite its pledge of neutrality, extended a large amount of credit to Great Britain starting in 1940; the British used it to buy everything from guns and ammunition to merchant ships.  US merchant ships carried cargo to England before we were involved in the war (US merchant ships were also supplying Nazi Germany, but on a much smaller scale).  President Roosevelt persuaded Congress to approve the "Lend-Lease" program, in which we gave Britain about 100 old US Navy destroyers in exchange for leases on British territory in the Western Hemisphere.\n\n2) Hitler marched his troops into the Rhine, the Sudetenland, the rest of Czechoslovakia, and Austria over the protests of Britain, France, and the US.  On Sept. 1, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, thereby starting WW2 in Europe.  The Poles fought valiantly against Hitler's forces; when they took refuge behind the Vistula River, and it seemed they could hold on until the arrival of the British and French, Stalin entered the war and invaded Poland from the east.  About 2 weeks later it was all over for the Poles.\nStalin also invaded Finland on the flimsy pretext of protecting his northern frontier.  The Finns, although outnumbered and outgunned, held off the Soviets for several months.\nJapan annexed Korea in 1910.  The militarists of Japan also invaded Manchuria (China) in 1933, trying to create what they called the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."  In their delirious minds, they thought that Asia would thrive if all of it was under their rule.  The rest of Asia disagreed.  Japanese brutality in Manchuria caused the US to enact a trade embargo against Japan.  The Japanese used the embargo as an excuse for the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, thereby precipitating America's entry into WW2.\n\n3) WW2 is thought of as "the good war" because in modern times, the difference between dictatorship and freedom was never so stark.  On one side were the Axis powers, odious dictatorships all, engaging in sneak attacks, breaking every treaty they signed, and trampling on the freedoms of the sovereign nations they invaded (not to mention those of their own people).  Arrayed against them were the Allies, consisting (mostly) of the democratically-run, freedom-loving nations of the world.  Hitler and Tojo thought that "Deutschland über Alles" and "Dai Nippon" would rule the world through their "Übermensch" and "Bushido" warriors.  But both of them underestimated the fury of aroused democracies.  To paraphrase Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack: "I fear that all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."  He was right.\nThe Soviets' entry on the Allied side of the war complicated the moral equation a bit.  They had a history of engineering mass repression, purges, and widespread starvation against their own people ever since the Bolshevik triumph in the Russian Revolution of 1918.  Stalin was quite happy to help Hitler carve up eastern Europe when it suited his purposes.  And the Soviets, despite warnings that the Nazis were preparing to invade Russia, supplied the Nazis with much-needed food and fuel right up to the day of the Nazi invasion in 1940.

I assume this means World War II, not World War 11.\n\nTwo Quebec Conferences took place in World War II. The first, in August 1943, included Roosevelt and Churchill, planning the China theater and elements of French recognized government.  The second, in September 1944, planned for future invasions of Germany.

I believe Canada is a part of NATO and NATO is in Afghanistan at the moment. Plus the Canadians are a good professional force. They need to do their part.

USA Foreign policy is freindly overall and they're certainly considered our allies, but Canada has a different political basis than we do. \n\nCanada has seen their own share of issues and they don't like to be seen as the "US' little brother" so they typically take a different political stance than we do-- most importantly on the Iraq war, where there was a semi-serious movement by some Canadian politicians to arrest Bush if he ever set foot on Canadian soil. (The likelihood of this ever happening was slim, but it certainly made a point throuhg it's rounds in the associated press carrying the story).

Canada has always been a safe haven for Americans running from wars. half of my high school teachers in were draft dodgers running from the Vietnam war, there is even a book about an American hiding in Nova Scotia evading fighting during ww2. bookhttp://www.pottersfieldpress.com/books/hermitgully.html \n\nyes there is a lot of Americans up here(if it is not on the ABC news Americans won't believe it), it nice that they feel safe here and yes we should let them stay.\n\nhey buddy  at the bottom, Canada has never, or never will need American solders, we don't start shi$ we can't finish.

That is a tough one...\n\nDuring that period there was a massive migration of French Canadian towards the USA and they mainly landed in Long Island, Conneticut, Main, New Hampshire....\n\nThere is a Franco American association I beleive that have strong historical base knowledge, they could have such a list and may even guide you towards finding a listing for the rest of those living in the Dominion of Canada....\n\nYou can also find leads in cultural or ethnical associations such as:\nIrish, Scotts, Russians and others groups that came under persecutions such as religious association that really stay in contact and have such listing... Such as the Coptic Church, Greeks, Armenians ( and specify if it was from Turkey, Libanon or ex: USSR)...\n\nI personally have native blood from Iroquois ancestry... so.. I've travelled in the different reservations between Ontario, Quebec and NY state....

I think that most people have an open mind on issues between Canada and the United States. I live on the east coast of Canada and many of our citizens have sought travel, work and schooling to the United States in our modern times. You have to judge a person by their respect for each other not their culture or origin.\n\nAs a Junior High School student in Canada(60's), my geography class had to learn the name of each State, their capitals and a product of each region. \n\nMy wife and I just returned from a visit to CT and RI where we stayed with friends that she made while working for Collette Vacations, a US based Travel Company.\n\nThe First Nation People from Quebec,Canada and Upper New York, former fisherman from the Canadian Maritime Region especially Newfoundland worked in the high steel industry helping to build the "Empire State Building" in New York, New York. They were referred to with great respect as "The Indian Crew" and "The Fish Crew", many of the relatives of these original steel workers assisted in the rescue and recovery efforts during 9-11.

It widened due to the expanisionist policy of the Nazis.  Simply: they wanted to go and invade everyone else.  This caused some people to get a bit peeved, and they started to fight back.  The more the Nazis threatened or invaded other nations, the more countries joined the allies.
