Vimy 1917 : Comment 19 000 Canadiens ont changé l'histoire | Documentaire

In this episode, The 22nd Battalion: The “Savages” Who Terrorized the Enemy. On April 9, 1917, Canada didn't just capture a hill. It became a nation. Exactly 109 years ago, on a white chalk ridge in France, thousands of young Canadians were preparing to accomplish what the world's greatest armies had failed to do: take Vimy Ridge. Today, we're not just reading history books. We're going down into the trenches. Through the eyes of Émile Gauthier, a young man from the Mauricie region who enlisted in the famous 22nd Battalion. 💡 Subscribe so you don't miss any of our historical immersions in Quebec and Canada. 👍 Give us a thumbs up to honour the memory of our soldiers and tell us in the comments if you have an ancestor who served in the Great War. #Vimy1917 #CanadianHistory #VimyRidge #April9 #RTVA #WorldWarI #22ndBattalion #QuebecHistory #Documentary #Vimy109 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Some Links Text Sources ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Government of Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-n... https://www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembr... https://www.veterans.gc.ca/fr/commemora tion/commemorative-monuments/overseas/canada-national-vimy-memorial https://veterans.gc.ca/en/commemorati... https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discove... ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Some sources RELATED IMAGES AND VIDEOS ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►Historica Canada:    • Heritage Minutes: Vimy Ridge      • Grande Guerre – La bataille de la crête de...      • Pensez comme un historien : L’épopée du 22...   ►Library and Archives Canada:    • Vimy Ridge = [Vimy Ridge : Canadian Operat...   ►Battle Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj7VfXux ►Legion Magazine:    • William Shatner | Battle of Vimy Ridge   ►CEFRG Canadian Expeditionary Force Research Group:    • Vimy Craters and Ridge from The Pulpit in ...   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ TO GO FURTHER ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💻 To contact me: [email protected] 📞My social media: 👉Instagram:   / r.t.v.a   👉TikTok:   / raconte.ta.vie.dailleurs   👉Facebook:   / racontetaviedailleurs   👉Twitch:   / racontetaviedailleurs   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ CHAPTERS OF THIS VIDEO ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Call and the Preparation (1915-1916) 00:00 | Introduction: Vimy, the birth of a nation. 01:02 | Émile Gauthier: A son of the Mauricie region facing the call to war. 02:13 | Enlisting in the 22nd Battalion and training at Valcartier. 02:39 | Winter in England: Between mud, officers' contempt, and button polishing. 03:53 | Arrival in France: Baptism of fire at Courselette (the Somme).
