Document Summary
1947 and korea: peacekeepers sent to supervise the elections in south korea2. In 1950 he became pm: sent large contingent of troops to korea to protect the new pm, was very active in using canadian troops, supported by equally dedicated foreign policy minister lester b pearson. Instead of just a threat of watching people they created checkpoint to stop movements from within the countries: made up of battalions from different countries, pearson won nobel peace prize and became father of peacekeeping. Congo, cyprus, namibia, cold war: canada was a significant source of support. Refers to the process where canada sends soldiers to prevent war, death in usually unstable countries. Somalia: new soldiers were trained to kill not to keep the peace, these soldiers were eventually charged with war crimes for killing a somalian youth for stealing from the canadian camp.
