  • Pragmatism and Cooperation: Canadian-American Defence Activities in the Arctic, 1945-1951
    Pragmatism and Cooperation: Canadian-American Defence Activities in the Arctic, 1945-1951 by Peter Kikkert A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts In History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Peter Kikkert 2009 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract During the early Cold War, as the Soviet menace placed Canada in between two hostile superpowers, the Canadian government decided to take steps to ensure that its sovereignty and national interests were not threatened by the Americans in the new strategic environment. This study examines the extent to which the Canadian government actually defended its sovereignty and rights against American intrusions in the early Cold War. At its core is an examination of the government’s policy of gradual acquisition in the Arctic between 1945 and 1951. This thesis explores the relationships that existed at the time, the essence of the negotiations, the state of international law and the potential costs and benefits of certain Canadian courses of action. It also explains how Canada’s quiet diplomacy allowed it to avoid alienating its chief ally, contribute to continental defence, and strengthen its sovereignty during this period. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Whitney Lackenbauer, for his insight, constant encouragement and advice.

  • American Campaign Medal
    World War II American Campaign Medal History & Service Requirements The American Campaign Medal was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9265 dated 6 November 1942, and subsequently amended by President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Order 9706 dated 15 March 1946, to be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who served in the American Theater between 7 December 1941 and 2 March 1946. The American Theater included North America (except Alaska which was part of the Pacific Theater) and South America. Service criteria for the American Campaign Medal included that the service member qualified under any of the following conditions: ● Service within the continental limits of the United States for an aggregate period of one year. ● Permanent assignment outside the continental limits of the United States. ● Permanent assignment as a member of a crew or vessel sailing ocean waters for a period of 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Permanent assignment as a member of an airplane operations crew making regular or frequent flights over ocean waters for a period of 30 days. ● Service outside the continental United States in a passenger status or temporary duty for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Active combat against the enemy and was awarded a combat decoration or certificate. The ribbon design was approved by the Secretary of War in November 1942. The background of the ribbons was blue to represent the Americas. The black and white stripes represented Germany and the red and white stripes represented Japan. The center blue, white, and red stripes were taken from the American Defense Service Medal to represent the continued defense of the United States after Pearl Harbor.
