What was the name of the Canadian military force established in 1914 that saw over 600,000 enlist?

• A. Canadian Volunteer Force
• B. Canadian Expeditionary Force (C.E.F.)
• C. Royal Canadian Regiment
• D. Canadian Army Corps

Answer: (B)

The Canadian military force established in 1914 that witnessed over 600,000 enlistments was the Canadian Expeditionary Force (C.E.F.). This force was created to meet Canada's commitment to the British Empire during World War I. The C.E.F. played a significant role in various key battles and campaigns throughout the war, marking Canada's entry onto the world stage as an independent military force.

The large enlistment numbers reflect the Canadian public's sense of duty and the prevailing patriotic fervor in support of the war effort. Many Canadians volunteered to fight, propelled by a desire to defend the British Empire and support allies in the conflict.

In contrast, the Canadian Volunteer Force was not the primary military force used during World War I, as it predominantly comprised units that served in specific capacities, mainly in support roles. The Royal Canadian Regiment is one of Canada's oldest infantry regiments but was part of the overall C.E.F. contributions rather than being a separate military force. The Canadian Army Corps refers broadly to the organizational structure of Canadian troops in the military but does not specifically identify the established force that saw such significant enlistment at the war's outset.
