Must these two vector spaces always be isomorphic?
$begingroup$
Suppose $V$ and $W$ are vector spaces over $mathbb{Q}$ and the cardinality of $V$ is the same as the cardinality of $W$. Must $V$ and $W$ be isomorphic?

You could have two vector spaces of the same cardinality but different dimension so not isomorphic
