War. How can one idealize war? It is not about making war or the weapons involved that seem important but the lessons we learn from them. The Canadian Museum of War tells instead a history of all the wars Canada has been involved in. From the earliest disputes using weapons made of animal bones you walk though a gallery of time. Each time line featuring new and more advanced weaponry.
Cannons delivered devastation on both sides. From the ones that were operational the opponents suffered heavy losses but from the "friendly" side they had a tendency to explode causing casualities.
Advances in aeronautics caused many casualties. But advances in aeronautics also made it possible for people to travel from one country to another. Aren't we still looking for Amelia Earhart?
But war is war and whoever has the best strategy, armed forces, and weapons wins. To wit we have produced:
The museum has three floors of artifacts and displays and is well worth a visit.
