Win.
Filler for even more win.

never a good time. invading canada would be like nap's or hitler's invasion of russia... too much land to fall back too... in the long run it would be a nightmare for the americans
I think the real question is: When is the best time for Canada to invade the United States?

I agree, also why would we even want that frozen wasteland when we can invade Mexico instead.

Fixed it for you!In the immortal words of Scotsman Colin Mochrie as he's looking at the White House:
"Hey! You rebuilt it...Good for you!"![]()
Ridiculous. European Russia is settled to a degree that can support retreating conventional forces and stay-behind guerrillas for thousands of KM. Canada cannot. The only area that can do that is a relatively tiny strip of inhabited territory (typically 300 Km deep at the most) alongside the US border. Conquering and occupying that is within the easy reach of any wartime US Army from 1860s onward. If the British and Canadians try to withdraw to the great empty frozen norhtern nowhere, they would be out of supplies and starve in no shoirt order.
You really don't know much about us or our northern communities do you?![]()
Loads and loads of natural resources. Mexico's got loads of people, so we want them too, but we can use the Canadian resources faster.General_Finley said:I agree, also why would we even want that frozen wasteland when we can invade Mexico instead.
There are only 100,000 people living in the entire three territories, even todayOkay, the provinces have a bit more than 300 km depth, but don't try to tell me that the vast majority of the population and industry is not close to the border.
The best time? The 1760s. After all, we invaded it that time and won.
Sure, sure, we were technically still Brits at the time. But still, successful invasion of Canada! It can be done!

Actually, I would be interested in how America would subdue Canada if it was conquered in the 19th, or early 20th centur. It would be the ocnquest of a democratic society by another. Hrmm.

I think the motives or reason for the war are going to influence that a lot. If it's outright conquest (something not likely) only then things are going to be much more difficult than say if Canada was pulled into a conflict via mistakes by the UK or something.
The lasting effects would differ, not so much the short term resentment of course. I'm guessing an underground movement much like the IRA is developed and has a long long battle with police forces over the next few decades.
