  War Leadership, 1914 - 1918
Under Robert Borden's leadership, Canada contributed greatly to the Allied war effort during the First World War. The sacrifice of Canada's soldiers enabled the Borden government to gain a new autonomy for the country during the War and at the Versailles peace talks which followed. However, in 1917 the issue of conscription seriously divided both the national political parties and the country.
