The Bloc National

The Bloc National was a political alliance formed in Canada during World War I, primarily uniting French-Canadian nationalists and conservatives who opposed conscription and the federal government's war policies. It aimed to protect French-Canadian cultural and political interests amid the national debate over mandatory military service. The Bloc sought to promote unity among French-speaking Canadians while advocating for policies aligned with their community’s values. Although not a formal political party, it influenced political discussions by representing a significant segment of French-Canadian opinion during that period.
