The Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) followed a first attempt of mobilization by Sam Hughes, the minister in charge of defence and militia. Before that, the standing army was reduced, alongside a much larger militia. Anyway, it was not before WWI that a large, professional standing Canadian army went into action. The French Canadian identity also came into view at that stage and perhaps participated in this national emergence at large, despite later creating a rift over conscription. Three expeditions were launched, but all failed, not so much due to the British troops stationed there, but thanks to the Canadian militias. In order to harm the empire, the USA launched an expedition into Canada (very much seen as a British stronghold in North America). Indeed, in 1812, America declared war on the British Empire following incidents which involved the Royal Navy seizing men and ships in the larger context of the Napoleonic war. The Canadian army is narrowly related to the emergence of a local identity in the early 19th century. They look like you could still shoot them.About 5,000 armored vehicles (1917-1945) Tanks

The M13 turrets in particular appear to have only a thin coating of surface rust. But other items, such as the Italian M13 mini-tank turrets sitting in the Calansho Sand Sea and the M3 Stuart light tank, practically beg to be towed into a workshop and given a once-over with an angle grinder. That's because anything that could be resold as scrap metal has been pilfered and the rubber from the idler wheels has rotted away. Some of the vehicles, such as the M4A2 Sherman tank seen at the beginning of the video, are in poor condition. Many look like they haven't moved an inch since they crashed or were junked here more than 70 years ago. Now a new video has emerged showing the remains of British, German, Italian, and American aircraft and armored vehicles still sitting here. North Africa was a major battleground for the Axis and Allies during the early years of World War II. Military's aircraft boneyard is located in the Arizona desert, and why Libya is home to still-intact war machines of the 1940s. High temperatures, low humidity, and infrequent rainfall prevent rust and corrosion. Things made out of metal last a long time in the desert.
