What was the extend of the Canadian armed forces in 1914?

In 1914, the Canadian Armed Forces were relatively small, with a peacetime strength of about 3,000 regular soldiers and around 100,000 part-time militia members. The military was primarily focused on local defense and training, lacking modern equipment and extensive combat experience. However, with the onset of World War I, Canada quickly mobilized and expanded its forces, ultimately sending over 600,000 Canadians to fight in the war. This marked a significant shift in the role and size of the Canadian military on the global stage.
