Honours Thesis: Canada's Forgotten War in Russia
I wrote this article over the 2024-2025 academic year at Acadia University, under the supervision of Dr. David Freeland Duke.
This work is primarily one of diplomatic history, though it touches on many themes, suffering from my signature overbroadness.
Nonetheless, I think I do a decent job of criticizing Allied strategy (or lack thereof) towards Russia at the tail end and immediately following the Great War, and I attempt to demonstrate Sir Robert Borden's objectives in steering the Canadian Dominion through an interventionist conflict born from anti-German strategy and unraveling as a result of competing national interests. I believe that this conflict is deserving of renewed attention in the Western world, as it certainly hasn't been forgotten in Russia.
