Canada at War Against Japan, 1941–1945

Marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, this exhibition explores different aspects of Canada’s involvement in the war against Japan — including the Battle of Hong Kong, the experiences of prisoners of war, and the forced relocation of Japanese Canadians — through key events, photographs, and personal stories.

An exhibition developed by the Canadian War Museum.
