Many people believe that the First World War is an independent war in Canada; the Canadians have proved their national identity and the international stage of autonomy. This myth is quite common in Canadian war novels and the novel is "Patriotism is a strong patriotism that is more interested in the real depiction of life in previous life" (Thompson 84). However, Findlay painted malignantism and foreign invasion with a negative eye, which impairs Canadian myth that it was brought about by the difficulties of the First World War. He also explored how many people and animals died during the First World War, made the readers care about these characters and animals, then explained about their terrible death. As part of animal death, Findlay showed how nature was destroyed by war.

When Britain declared a war with Germany on August 4, 1914, Canada automatically fell into a battle away from that country. Many war stories have promoted the First World War as a unified national construction activity and helped to develop a more modern and independent Canada, but Timothy Fendorry's "war" is the first in a totally different way . Second World War. War has shown that British warfare in World War I and that the Canadian army is only seen as part of the British army - it is not its own sovereign state. This novel explains the incredible loss of human and animal lives, and the painstaking details about the destruction of nature, revealing the fear of war.

The trap of nationalism shows that it did not work well in the last game of World War I. Millions of young people are killed in unnecessary war. With the rise of socialism and communism, it helped the most vulnerable group to get rid of the trap of nationalism. These ideals accepted the unity of the people of the world. The reaction of the elite involves more publicity about more nationalism and "red danger". At the same time, Communist leaders became a new corrupt elite, as church leaders have been in the centuries before them. World War I also showed that clash between nationalism and elite could be a dangerous rabies. Not everyone has learned the lesson. The angry German elite has lost a lot of power and fame in the First World War, and they helped the new noble Hitler take power. Throughout history, newcomers often show the same things, and worse they show the elite they replaced.
