- Gave Canada a distinct national identity.
>Prior to the war, Canada was considered to be a colony of Britain and it was not recognized by the rest of the world as a separate country. After Vimy Ridge, more and more foreign nations regarded Canada as a nation of its own.
- Helped forge Canadian nationalism.
>Vimy Ridge played a large part in the building of a Canadian national identity. It was the Canadian Corps' first large scale mission and also had the lowest military casualty rates of the entire war. This win is often viewed as when Canada emerged from Britain's shadow and emerged as a nation capable of holding its own.
- Solidified Canada's place as a nation of equality within the British Empire.
> The Battle of Vimy Ridge saw the first time all four Canadian divisions fighting together as a cohesive army, rather than as separate units incorporated into British formations. Their success proved the effectiveness of the Canadian forces to the British high command and established their reputation as a crack fighting unit.
- Helped to improve relations with France.
> Following Vimy Ridge, Canada became extremely proud of its new reputation and wanted to be known for its ability to do good rather than only fight in war. Canada started to give generously to France and helped rebuild northern French cities that had been damaged during the war.
- Boosted Canadian nationalism.
> Canadian pride after Vimy Ridge made it so that they were determined to be an equal partner in world politics despite their modest size. They continued to give large amounts of money to charities and humanitarian organizations.
