    		Several. Canada celebrated Confederation on July 1st, 1867, since then we have participated in the following wars:

    1914 - Outbreak of World War I. Canada fights on the side of Britain and France. Some French-speaking Canadians are wary of the move.

    1939 - Outbreak of World War II: Canadian forces are active in Italy, Europe, the Atlantic and elsewhere.

    1950 - War in Korea. Canadian forces participate in the United Nations war effort.

    1991 - Canadian forces participate in the Gulf War following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

    We are currently involved in a peackeeping mission in Afghanistan.

    		Although not considered actually a "combatant", Canada is also involved in Iraq. I worked with two Canadian Officers in Baghdad between Sep '04 and Jan '06.

    I believe most UN missions also include Canadian Forces.
