WI: USA initiates War Plan Red

Anyone here know about War Plan Red? It was a plausible war strategy the US military was working on during the 1920's and 30's that involved war with the United Kingdom and its dominions, particulary Canada.

What would be the PoD that could cause the US to turn this theoratical plan into an actual reality?

for anyone who doesn't know what War Plan Red is, here's a link.

Probably would happen only if there was a fascist coupe against roosevelt during a much worse depression. Thus the US would ally with the Axis...

Would it necessarily involve the US going facist? The reasons for the plan were the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902. As the page says, some American planners thought that Britians Imperial reach could potentially bring it into conflict with the US.

So yes, a potential PoD could be a facist coup in the US, but I think thats a bit unlikely.

EDIT:mad:Lardo-I hadn't thought of that, probably should have done that.

#1 ain't gonna happen. If it does, #2 ain't gonna happen. There is really no such thing as international fascist solidarity. Heck, even the commies, who theoretically had such a thing, didn't get along once they had separate nations. Mussolini almost went to war with Hitler at points.
