No longer offered. It was in Waterloo’s course catalog since at least Winter 2020 (as far back as Open Data goes) to Spring 2024. It isn’t in the 2024–25 or later calendars.
In the course catalog from Winter 2020 to Spring 2024; Open Data has no classes for it in that time.
This course introduces students to the ways in which historians have examined Canada's military experience. Beginning with the Boer War, and continuing through the two World Wars and the post-war era, students examine the political, social, as well as military effects of war on Canada.

I hated this class the first few weeks as I thought I would fail. There is no textbook and the prof rambles a lot. But I ended up enjoying it in the end and found it very helpful for future classes.

Very good course to learn about Canada's role in 20th century conflicts. All the material is introduced well and there is lots of explanation given.

u/beaverlyknight: “HIST 106 is Canadian wars in the 21st Century, also taught by Prof Hayes, and it was pretty fun as well. Same sort of thing, pretty interesting course and not heavy at all. …”
