Acerca de esta escucha

 North America stands at the crossroads between duty and detachment amidst the chaos of the Great War. Step into this tumultuous world in A Tale of Two Nations: Canada, U.S. and WWI.

Experience history as it unfolded, unfiltered by hindsight, through the lens of contemporary newspapers. This meticulously researched work illuminates developments from 1914 to 1918, offering a dual perspective – one American, one Canadian – to reveal the stark contrasts and surprising parallels in their wartime experiences.

Delve into the fevered headlines and heartfelt stories that depicted two pivotal events from each year of the war:

In 1914, witness Canada's enthusiastic embrace of the war effort, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with its allies, while the United States grapples with its declared neutrality.

Feel the shifting tides of public opinion as the war intensifies. The Canadian Expeditionary Force faces baptism of fire in April 1915, earning glory while enduring the horrors of a chlorine gas attack. The sinking of the Lusitania sends shockwaves throughout the United States, igniting a fiery debate about intervention vs. the cost of neutrality.

1916 sees Canada embroiled in the brutal Battle of the Somme, yet domestic news diverts attention elsewhere. Across the border, the American presidential election pits President Woodrow Wilson's promise of peace against the growing calls for action.

1917 marks a turning point. Explore the significance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, often hailed as Canada's coming of age, then witness President Wilson's momentous decision to abandon neutrality and lead the United States into the war.

Finally, in 1918, celebrate the long-awaited Armistice, but also confront the devastating impact of the Spanish Flu pandemic.

This omnibus edition paints a rich, immersive picture of history as it was lived and reported, revealing the power of journalism in shaping public perception during one of the most turbulent times in modern history. For readers fascinated by World War I, journalism, or the intertwined histories of Canada and the United States.
