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. The Halifax explosion is also a defining moment in Canadian history because it brought the war home to Canada.

The massive lost of life and destruction of a city made the explosion one of Canada's worst naval disasters. The explosion was the largest man made explosion ever and became a standard by which other explosions, including nuclear explosions would be measured.
