The maple leaf on Canadian uniforms dates back to which century?

17th Century
18th Century
19th Century
20th Century

The correct answer is: 19th Century

The maple leaf has been used as a symbol for Canada since the 18th century, when the French first adopted it as a symbol of New France. The 19th century saw the widespread use of the maple leaf as a symbol of Canadian identity, especially during the push for independence from Great Britain. By the 20th century, the maple leaf had become the defining national symbol of Canada, adorning flags, coats of arms, currency, and most notably, the uniforms of the Canadian military. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as the use of the maple leaf on Canadian uniforms dates back to the 19th century. The other options are incorrect because they either predate or postdate the widespread use of the maple leaf as a national symbol, which occurred in the 19th century.
