Melina Druga is an author, freelance writer and history enthusiast. Her focus is on the period 1890-1920 with a particular interest in WW1 and how the war changed the lives of ordinary people. Melina finds this era fascinating because it is simultaneously familiar and antiquated, and because the events that happened during this time period set the tone for the remainder of the 20th century. Growing up, Melina's favorite book series included Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables. More recently, she's enjoyed the best historical fiction PBS' Masterpiece Theatre can offer, including Downton Abbey and Mr. Selfridge.

Drawing on contemporaneous accounts of the First World War from Canada and the United States, freelance journalist Melina Druga offers readers an insightful exploration of early-20th-century attitudes toward the conflict, in A Tale of Two Nations: Canada, U.S. and WWI.
The newly founded Canadian Expeditionary Force's first sortie was the Second Battle of Ypres, which stretched on for more than a month in the spring of 1915. There, Germany unleashed nearly 200 tons of chlorine gas upon Allied trenches, leaving France's defense in the hands of the untested Canadians, who managed to secure victory by avoiding catastrophic losses.
Fifteen days after the chemical attack on Allied troops, the German Navy sank the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner, killing more than 1,100 passengers and crew. The 128 American casualties complicated U.S. neutrality; violent outbreaks between American citizens soon followed.
Germany's use of chemical weaponry and attacks on civilian targets made it clear that the Allies were fighting a war unlike any other in recorded history. But the question remained: Would President Wilson declare war in retaliation?
1915 is the second installment of the A Tale of Two Nations series.
