This gallery explores Canada's fight against dictatorships overseas during the Second World War. The gallery introduces the visitor to the oppressive and aggressive dictatorships of the 1930s, and the mounting pressure for a strong response from the rest of the world.

Joining its British and French allies, Canada declares war against Germany, and the visitor begins the journey into the Second World War. From the training of Allied flight personnel, to the transport of supplies to Britain by the Merchant Navy, to the Battle of the Atlantic and the defeat of the German U-boat threat, Canada contributed one of the largest fighting forces in the world, on land, at sea and in the air, as well as significant industrial and logistical support.
