Our ANZAC code has joined Aussies and Kiwis at the hip since WW1... Like twin brothers, we throw shade on each other but when the chips are down the ANZAC spirit and the history our forefathers shared comes into play... From the Battle of Beersheba in WW1 (where my Great Grandfather took a bullet from a machine gun to the knee) to the Battle of Long Tan in Vietnam; the Kiwis were by our sides, neck deep in the blood and guts and Aussies don't ever forget it. They may be a smaller nation than us.. but the Kiwi is one tough Mother Fcker and we're all proud to call them brothers and sisters. Americans should likewise be proud of their Canadian brothers and sisters for consistently punching above their weight class. My point is, we may all have our differences but let us not ever forget that the CANZAUKUS alliance has stood the test of time. We are all, at the core of our values, the same.

In hockey, our top rival is Russia, there is a long history there, especially during the cold war era. Canadians and Americans watch many of the same sports, but we don't really PLAY the same sports. Hockey does have a niche following in certain areas of the US close to our border, but it's not really a national thing for them. If we do come up against them in a competition, that natural rivalry of neighbours does arise, but there's not really the same long history that you would see with Aus / NZ.

It is actually military standard. Foreign policy and war plans are not made on basis of what other nations will do, but what they can do. So any respectable military makes war plans like those - that's what armies do in peace - exercise and plan. At bare minimum, military should have plans for wars with the countries it neighbors. And most, if not all, have it. Regardless of how good the relations are. And those rainbow plans of US are simply interesting for their names and the fact they were discovered like that. But no one should be surprised that they existed. You can bet that Switzerland, a famously neutral country, has military plans for wars with all of its neighbors and prominent world powers. As I said, that's military standard.

"That they almost went to war- THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY ESTABLISHED TITLES." has to be the greatest line in a documentary I've ever heard.

Good video

Just to clarify, the Canadian plan mentioned in this video was not actually an officially approved plan. On the contrary, it was primarily developed by a senior Canadian officer with a particularly strong connection to the UK. It was ultimately rejected by the Canadian government and other senior military officials as being pretty much suicidal. They believed that invading US terrritory and destroying infrastructure and civilian communities would only ensure that the Americans would enter Canada in a blood rage. Imperial Japan would eventually be able to describe how well such a strategy works. As it turns out, the Canadian officials who rejected the plan were smart for another reason. The plan was designed solely to buy time for Britain to throw everything into the fight to protect Canada, while the British had already come to the conclusion that in the event of a war, Canada was screwed. The funniest part of the whole discussion is that the various sides normally have completely different stories that they believe will lead up tp a potential war, and those stories pretty much always make the other side seem like the offending party. In this case, however, both the Americans and the British basically agreed on the cause of a potential war. The Americans had a long history with the British (obviously), and had noticed that the British had a habit of attacking countries when they became wealthy or industrialized enough that they might represent a significant challenge to their superiority in the not-too-distant future. Hell, in their own history, the British had armed native tribes (one of the causes of the War of 1812) and considered aiding the Confederacy during the Civil War in an effort to slow down the United States' growth, and further their own interests in the region. As the US had no intentions whatsoever of slowing down or limiting their growth, they felt it prudent to draw up plans on how to respond should the British initiate hostilities. The British who were concerned about a possible war noted the rapid industrialization in the US, as well as the growth in their economy and of their navy. They were concerned that such continued growth could result in the US being a major threat in the near future. As such, they considered whether or not they might find it beneficial to attack the US and try to set them back a bit. They also formed an alliance with the Japanese so that the Americans would be faced with a combined threat in the Pacific, and a dual ocean threat overall should hostilities actually commence. So, both sides were looking at events through the lens of a potential preemptive attack from the British. In this case, preemptive doesn't refer to getting ahead of any specific aggressive actions on America's part, but preventing the US from being in a position where it could eventually be aggressive (or even defensive) if they so chose to be.

@@haydnj1202 this doesnt even take into the account all the other sharks in the water that would be itching to make a move on a distracted Royal Navy. Namely Russia and France.

Both sides employed "divide and rule"-strategies. In the end the USA was more successful. An example of divide and rule in practice, is US "support" for Irish independence (mentioned here from 3.00 minutes onwards). Obvious effect? It would weaken the UK, and if such exemplary events could spark further independence movements, even better. "Revenge" for London (and Paris) choosing the South during the Civil War in its efforts to effect a secession, and a resulting breaking up of a single hegemony in North America... After 2 world wars GB/Empire was no longer strong enough to ward off Washington DCs rise to nr.1.

In Canada it’s hard to forget as we have old military bases dotted all around the border from that time period. In my city of Victoria many of our public parks are covered the ruins of military fortifications from the 19th and 20th century made to stop an American invasion. Sorta makes parts of Canada look like Albania that way. You can also see this design in cities like Vancouver which although has torn down most of its old military fortifications still is designed to stop an American invasion, which is why it’s downtown isn’t on the Fraser river but instead pushed up against the water and mountains as a natural barriers. And also why most of the city is north of the river as that was meant to be a natural barrier from Americans being able to do a land invasion .

How did The United States plan to fight the British Empire before WW2?Britons were planning to fight against Britons!?!

I am so taking advantage of the Established Titles promo. That is too good to pass up. Great video as well.

Every staff has a plans division. It's their job to come up with plans to invade and defend against any country or combination of countries. As such they were just doing their jobs. I'm sure that even now, there are plans for conflict with Canada and or Britain. For instance Desert Shield (the first part of the first Gulf War) was based on a plan to respond to a Soviet land attack towards Saudi Arabia. It was only the availability of troops from NATO (not needed to fight the Soviets/Russians) that allowed the reinforecment for the attack into Iraq (Desert Storm).

I think this disregards quite intensely British Naval superiority pre-WW2. Also, 'A quick UK surrender?' Good luck with that! It would have made D-day look like a tea party!

The problem with that is American naval dominance was even stronger in the pacific than it was in the Atlantic, and had been since the Spanish American War in 1898. The failure of the British to create a strong naval presence in the Far East is precisely what led to the destruction of Force Z by the Japanese in 1941. Even if they did launch a pacific campaign, it would have mainly been focused on the American colonies of the Philippines and Guam, which were vital to the American military presence in Asia and far more of an immediate threat to British dominance in Malaya and Oceania. As indicated in the video, the British strategy was essentially to leave Canada to its fate and focus on saving the colonies that could realistically be defended in the Caribbean, and preventing the American fleet from sailing to the Home Islands by tying them down there. There was never any hope of winning the land war, such a conflict would have been determined by naval prowess near exclusively.

It starts with Wilson's advisors (Edward House and Walter Page; both Anglophiles) outright lying to Wilson about how the Brits and the Japs will come after the US if Wilson doesn't accommodate their wishes. This leads him to call for a massive naval buildup, saying to his advisor House regarding Britain: “Let us build a Navy bigger than hers and do what we please.” Discussions got heated at times in 1918 and 1919. Also Britain was allied to Japan then, which was seen as America's most likely enemy. The whole thing was resolved with the Washington Naval Treaty strictly limiting size of navies along a 1-1 ratio between UK and USA, Japan 2/3 of their tonnage, and others further down. Britain also left their alliance with Japan, but in London many continued to desire its renewal.

I don't need your product that makes people into lords or ladies, because I'm an edgelord.

These plans were part of strategic training exercises. To suggest that there was a real chance for war, let alone the conditions or desire for one, between the USA and UK in the interwar period is nonsense. Add to this that the US Army in the interwar period was massively reduced and funding was decreased and you get the impression that this video is pretty misleading.

The Monroe doctrine is funny because it was mostly aimed at the British, who had little interest I expanding their sphere in the Americas given they were already in control of a large chunk and most of South America was allied, only the US, Mexico and the French speaking areas weren't. Even more ironically is that America's tiny navy couldn't couldn't police such a doctrine meaning the British actually became the primary enforcers of the doctrine

I think something that was missed in this video is that the U.S. was a completely different nation than they are now. For instance, prior to WWII, the U.S. was significantly more isolationist than they are now, with many Americans still holding up George Washington's Farewell Address to the nation about the dangers of foreign entanglements as proper American policy. The realty is that if nobody is an ally, than everyone else are potential adversaries, and so you should have a plan to deal with them, A.K.A. the multi color war plans that were concocted. This idea is foreign to most people, as they don't fully understand the ramifications of courses of isolation among countries. However, in accordance with the statement, "where goods don't cross borders, armies will", wars and preparation for wars are the logical end result of isolationism.
