When did the Canadian Corps capture Vimy Ridge (France)?

  1. April 1915

  2. April 1916

  3. April 1917

  4. April 1918

The correct answer is: April 1917

The Canadian Corps captured Vimy Ridge in April 1917. This was a significant victory in World War I for the Allied forces that was achieved through meticulous planning, coordination, and strong leadership from the Canadian soldiers. Option A (April 1915) is incorrect because the Battle of Vimy Ridge did not occur until two years later. Option B (April 1916) is also incorrect because there were no major battles or engagements at Vimy Ridge in that year. Option D (April 1918) is incorrect because by that time, the Canadian Corps had already moved on to fight in other parts of France.
