Germany didn't attack Britain or France in the opening days of the war. Yet those two countries reacted as if Polish soil was their own, as they had warned Germany they would beforehand. Germany didn't attack America either but the USA jumped in after Pearl Harbour. Would it have been alright if an American had said he objected to fighting Germany but was okay with going to war in the South Pacific?

Germany may not have attacked Britain, but Britain was under imminent threat. Canada, as part of the British Empire was obligated to join Britain. [/b][/quote]
Not so in the Second World War, Canada made its own choice to join. Thats why the Canadian declaration of war was about a week after Britains.
In the 1st World War Canada was obligated to join with Britain.
