War plan for the invasion of Canada, 1935

12 o'clock, April 19, 2004

The following is a full-text reproduction of the 1935 plan for a US invasion of Canada prepared at the US Army War College, G-2 intelligence division, and submitted on December 18, 1935. This is the most recent declassified invasion plan available from the US archival sources.

I’d love to see some of those more recent classified ones . . . though I guess that by about 1940 the War College could stop worrying about British — er, “Red” — troops arriving in Nova Scotia to reinforce the Canadians.

That's _awesome._ Did you see on Kathryn Cramer's how about 1/3rd of of the Canadian Army was recently held effectively hostage by privatized overseas transport?

That would have totally been the time to strike.

JeremyT - proving once again that it is possible to depend on other countries too much. Autarky may not work, but total globalization is just as dangerous to the national interest.

David: Tried to e-mail you about this but couldn't find an addy on your site. Trackback autodiscovery doesn't seem to be working for this post, and you may want to check your templates to make sure everything is in order. Feel free to delete this comment, since it has nothing at all to do with the entry itself (except that I nearly wet myself with laughter!).

OK... so we can download a report that begins on page 40... with suppliment #3... How do you get the entire document, off the net?

That’s all I’ve seen of it. Possibly the war plan for Canada is only supplement #3. But Google “War Plan Red” if you want more info — the Straight Dope article is particularly good, I think.
