In a world darkened by ethnic conflicts that tear nations apart, Canada stands as a model of how people of different cultures can live and work together in peace, prosperity, and mutual respect.
U.S. President Bill Clinton 

Travel through the eras of  history and the development of the various nations that make up Canada today.

Canada's reputation as a country which provides peacekeepers to the worlds troubled spots has changed slightly over the last 20 years. With the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein and his Republican Guard in 1990, the United Nations voted to take the first organizational military action since the Korean War. Although Canada was not as heavily involved in the Gulf War as it was in Korea, Canada did participate with air, logistical support, medical and naval forces.

Afghanistan has been a different mission for Canada. The original reasons for sending troops to Afghanistan have been altered with the changing conditions in that country. The history of this conflict is yet to be finished.
