The Halifax Explosion opened Canada's eyes about the war, people on the Homefront (people in Canada) were devistated, the explosion claimed 1,900 lives and 9,000 were left injured, as well as flatening almost all the North end of Halifax to nothing, leaving halifax looking like a war zone.

Canada ended up spending 18 million to repair Halifax. Halifax was one of the largest shipping ports at the time, it supplied mostly mulitia for the war from and to places like Britain.

The Halifax explosion is a defining moment in Canadian history because it is the biggest explosion in Canadian history, and more then 2,000 people were killed well over 9,000 injured (thats a lot for how small cities were back then). Also it is a defining moment because it brought a lot of help from other Canadian places, and Boston, who gave 3 million dollars in relief.
