Where has Canada participated in peacekeeping missions?

  1. Egypt, Cyprus, and Haiti

  2. South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam

  3. Germany, Poland, and Ukraine

  4. Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria

The correct answer is: Egypt, Cyprus, and Haiti

Canada has been actively involved in peacekeeping missions since the 1950s, and has participated in numerous missions around the world. While all of the options listed may have some involvement with peacekeeping, Canada's most notable and recognized efforts have been in Egypt, Cyprus, and Haiti. Option B may seem plausible since Canada has a military presence in South Korea and Japan, and has played a role in Vietnam's reconstruction after the conflict. However, these countries were not involved in official peacekeeping missions. Similarly, while Canada has troops deployed in Germany, Poland, and Ukraine, these countries have not been the focus of any major peacekeeping efforts. Option D includes countries in which Canada has been involved in more recent military conflicts, but these are not considered peacekeeping missions. Therefore, it is important to consider the specific terminology used in the question and not just focus on Canada's military presence in different regions.
