Title: North African Campaigns, 1940-1943 - Operations - Democracy at War
 
Type: Document Image
Description: A significant part of the Second World War was fought in North Africa. Benito Mussolini wanted to enlarge his Italian empire in Africa, which already included Libya and Ethiopia, by invading Egypt, then part of the British Empire.

Title: War in China, 1937-1945 - Operations - Democracy at War
 
Type: Document Image
Description: In 1937 the Japanese army took charge of much of eastern China. Although China was a Second World War backwater, the largest part of the Japanese army was tied down in China, maintaining internal order, and this limited what Japan could do in its war against the Allies. The conflict between China and Japan affected Canada both socially and militarily.

Title: Aleutians Campaign, 1942-1943 - Operations - Democracy at War
 
Type: Document Image
Description: In June 1942, some 8,500 Japanese personnel, supported by naval forces, occupied the islands of Attu and Kiska, American parts of Alaska at the western end of the Aleutian island chain. Their aim, which was successful, was to distract the Allies and cause them to take resources away from more significant areas in the central Pacific. When the landings finally went ashore, the troops found that the Japanese soldiers had slipped away. Newspaper articles of the day discussed the battles of the far north.
