Canada's participation in modern conflicts, from the Gulf War to the War in Afghanistan, reflects its evolving role in global security. In the Gulf War (1990), Canada joined a multinational coalition to restore international law in the Middle East, marking a renewed commitment to collective security under the UN and NATO. The 9/11 attacks shifted the global focus to the War on Terror, and Canada became deeply involved in Afghanistan, engaging in its longest military mission since World War II. These conflicts highlighted Canada's dedication to global peacekeeping and confronting new security threats, while reshaping its military and diplomatic priorities.
