We have invasion plans for Canada. The Canadians had their plans too...


War Plan Red was developed by the War Department after the 1927 Geneva Naval Conference, and approved in May 1930 by Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley and Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams III and updated in 1934–35. It was a routine hypothetical exercise that neither required nor received presidential or congressional approval.[3]

With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, it was decided that no further preparations would be made but the plans were to be retained.[4] War Plan Red was not declassified until 1974.


Canada isn’t innocent in all of this. In 1921—nine years before the first draft of War Plan Red—one plucky Canadian veteran and strategist wanted to make sure that his country had a plan in place should Washington decide to set its sights on his country.
