I'm writing an essay based on the question "to what extent did world war 2 shape the identity of Canada"
I wrote the introductory paragraph (down below) but I was just wondering if someone could proofread it and let me know if there was anything else I could add/take and if it was clear.
Throughout its history, Canada has succeeded, albeit imperfectly, in reconciling/integrating the numerous legacies that have shaped its identity. Arguably one of the most major conflicts in history, the second world war was a fundamental occurrence that had been involved in the shaping/ of Canada, but to what extent did ww2 really shape the identity of Canada? There are many aspects that factor in to what we call “identity” – our culture, our experiences, our religion - or simply, our individuality. Correspondingly/In the same way, World War 2 had remarkably shaped Canada’s identity in regard to aspects such as the conflicted relations between English Canadians and French Canadians, its [generally close] ties between English Canadians and the British Empire, and the close proximity of English-speaking Canadians to [the military, economic and cultural powerhouse of] the United States.
