In October 1911, Winston S. Churchill was an accomplished young
Liberal politician who, as the newly appointed First Lord of the
Admiralty, still wore his ambition and emotion on his sleeve.
Robert L. Borden was the new Canadian Prime Minister, less
emotional and much older than Churchill. They became companions in
an attempt to provide naval security for the British Empire as a
naval crisis loomed with Germany. Their scheme for Canada to
provide three Dreadnought battleships for the Royal Navy as part of
an Imperial squadron was hotly debated by the Canadian Parliament
and rejected by the Senate. It was one of the most divisive debates
in Canadian parliamentary history. Churchill invested considerable
time and effort in trying to deliver the scheme and even believed
he might need to resign when it failed. The decision had great
implications for the future, leading to the crises in shipbuilding
foreshadowing the outbreak of WW1.
