Wars War in the sense of the 20th Century, and in relation to the Canadian Army, describes a state of armed conflict in which weapons and lethal force are used to attempt to resolve the conflict. Canada was an active direct participant in several wars in the 20th Century:
The termination dates of the wars did not end military participation; for example, Canadian soldiers were still serving in Siberia in 1919, and occupation forces remained in Germany in 1946 and in South Korea until 1955. Canada also participated in other conflicts, notably the fighting in the former Yugoslavia during their civil war in the 1990s; however, Canada did so ostensibly in a peacekeeping role although some soldiers did see combat (notably at Medak Pocket.) While not strictly adhering
to the definition of an armed conflict, the Cold War is also cited as an
example of a war in which Canada was an active direct participant.
