Giuseppe Garibaldi: US Major General, Commander of the Army

Me, I see the US threat as keeping the Canadians home. Why send anyone north? The US can tell Ottowa to keep its nose out of Europe. I.e., we'll stay home if you stay home.

And why the USA should ever give up their long-term historical irredentist aspiration over Canada, which only really began to fade from mainstream political consciousness with two World Wars fought toghether with the British Empire, once they cross the stream of war with the UK ??

Conquering Canada was still quite favored and openly speaken of, among mainstream politicians, media, and the public, as recently as the last war scare with the UK, in 1894.

A CP USA giving up conquest of Canada in 1915 makes as much sense as France giving up Alsace-Lorraine, i.e. only if they are decisively defeated or thoroughly exausted.

The Canadian troops will surely stay or be swiftly recalled home, but they will be quickly steamrolled away.
