How did Canada contribute to Britain's Boer War effort?

• A. Recruit volunteers who would join the British army
• B. Sent the Canadian army
• C. Stayed neutral
• D. Provided only medical support

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that Canada contributed to Britain’s Boer War effort by drawing in volunteers to join the British Army. As a dominion of the British Empire, Canada did not field a separate national army for this war; instead, thousands of Canadians enlisted in British regiments and fought in South Africa. The government supported recruitment and logistics, but the standout contribution was this manpower—Canadians volunteering to serve under British command. While there was medical support among those who served, the defining impact was the readiness of Canadians to volunteer for the British forces.
