This Pacific War Podcast covers Canada's participation during the Pacific War (WW2) featuring @OTDMilitaryHistory

The Battle of Hong Kong was fought from December 8-25th of 1941 and is one of the first battles of the Pacific War. The Empire of Japan attacked the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong without declaring war against Britain. The Hong Kong garrison consisted of British, Indian, Chinese and Canadian units. Brad St.Croix helps explain why the battle occurred, what occurred during the battle, what occurred after the battle and what was the Canadian experience.

The Aleutian Islands campaign saw Canada enter the fray during the Battle of Kiska. Operation Cottage saw the invasion of Kiska by a combined American/Canadian force, but there was not Japanese to be found. The Japanese had miraculous evacuated the island without the allies knowing, thus when they came to invade all they found were booby traps.

Canada like the United States interned Japanese during WW2. Japanese-Canadians like the famous scientist David Sazuki underwent years of internment making for a dark period of Canadian history. Many of the interned Japanese-Canadians would leave Canada or emigrate east to places like Toronto after the war was over.

The HMCS Uganda was a Canadian ship that served in the Pacific, until they took a vote and the crew elected to not participate any longer. Called a "mutiny" it was a rather embarrassing moment for Canada. Lastly Canada was going to be part of Operation Downfall, as part of the sub operation Cornet. But the war ended before the invasion of the Japanese home islands could occur.

Dr. Brad St.Croix has a PhD in history and did his dissertation on the Battle of Hong Kong. He studies and creates videos with a strong emphasis on Canadian military history.
