| 520 | _a"England, Canada and the Great War" by L. G. Desjardins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on Canada's involvement in World War I, particularly emphasizing the importance of loyalty to the British Empire and refuting nationalist sentiments that opposed participation in the war. Desjardins, a Lieutenant-Colonel and former member of the Quebec legislature and Canadian Parliament, presents a passionate defense of the Allied cause, framing it as a struggle for civilization against tyranny. The opening of the book introduces the preface, where the author expresses his intent to provide an English edition of his earlier French work, responding to widespread demand. Desjardins reflects on the political landscape in Canada, noting the emergence of nationalist arguments against Britain's war efforts, particularly those propagated by Henri Bourassa. He outlines the pressing need for unity and support for the British Empire during this critical time and seeks to persuade his French Canadian compatriots of their duty to join in the fight for liberty and justice. This preface serves to set the stage for a deeper examination of the motives and reasons behind Canada’s participation in the war, as well as a critique of nationalist rhetoric that he views as detrimental to national unity and loyal citizenship.
