Invasion of Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Invasion of Canada may refer to several events in history.

• The British and French colonial empires contested Canada through several wars:

• King George's War (1740–1748)
• The French and Indian War (1754–1763)

• The United States invaded Canada in two wars:

• The American Revolutionary War - see Invasion of Canada (1775)
• The War of 1812 - see Invasion of Canada (1812)

• A small group of American rebels from the Hunters' Lodges invaded Canada in the Patriot War (1837-1838) and the Battle of the Windmill in 1838.

• The Fenian raids, based in the United States, also targeted Canada between 1866 and 1871.

• The United States developed an invasion plan known as War Plan Red in the mid-1920s. The plan was a contingency for the unlikely event of war with the United Kingdom. It was officially withdrawn in 1939.

• The Invasion of Canada is also a 1980 book by Pierre Berton about the War of 1812.
