Too far in olden times. Too defended in recent times. Simple as.

Not any more, in case you hadn't noticed. My dad lives in Montana, and Montana gets ethnically cleansed off the electoral map all over again every few months.
Haha yeah anon yeah... no but seriously you’re a fricking idiot
Those are things you let happen by choice
Sorry man your just insignificant because there aren't that many of you.
Hey Juan
My favorite part about the war of 1812 is how the US and Britain rebuilt their relations by bullying the shit out of Spain in the following decades.
Britain has a way better relationship with Spain than it does with the us
Black person Spain is just a cheap holiday spot to most Bongs, get back to me when they're making Frogs seethe and withdraw ambassadors over submarine deals.
>who the US invaded first in cuba
Technically the conquest of Spanish Florida was much earlier.
>Technically the conquest of Spanish Florida was much earlier.
We didn't really conquer it, Spain got itself involved in the War of 1812 and while no one "won" that war, Spain lost because in the years after the war we managed to wrestle Florida away from them with a treaty.
My favorite part was New Orleans. God fricking damn I love being American.
invading the US has and will probably always be a massive logistical issue, not helped by the fact even with the early US govt being chaotic it was still functional enough were leaders could still organize shit which always makes any invasion difficult, and that was before the US became an industrial power house which makes invading it in modern times impossible, imagine trying to organize invading a place were enemy forces can simply produce a shitload of equipment next to their lines, and their fall back line, and the other fall back line for hundreds of miles, and the cherry on top, said industry also allows for a frick off navy which makes any occupation also impossible since while the US can pump out supplies, any enemy force will have a constantly disrupted supply line at best
most of your shit is made in China. your not an industrial power house anymore. imagine what will happen to normies when more shortages and riots occur?
moron
reeee
Yes you are, it’s all you guys have as a response anymore, just wild insults, then blander ones about Mexicans gays and trannies
>imagine what will happen to normies when more shortages and riots occur?
I imagine that all the time.
They'll have to spend twice as much to get a coffee maker that will last 20 years instead of six months?
American exceptionalism
>only way to reach the US is either through the ocean, cartel territory, or a country filled with canadian geese
I would take my chances with the cartels.
before manifest destiny and the need to own everything from sea to shining sea, other european powers had their foot on the continent making it possible to directly threaten the US
but then the french sold them their massive chunk of land
then the british and the US decided it was more beneficial to trade goods instead of bullets
leaving only the spanish, who the US invaded first in cuba, and the mexicans, who the US defeated
Big oceans, frozen wasteland to the North, deserts to the South, disorganized or disarmed neighbors, foreign policy specifically built around keeping everyone else away, stupidly large military, enormous and easily defended land within the country. Most importantly, incredibly eager to work with other countries economically. There's generally no reason to attack the US, since anything they have could be bought for a cheaper price than war.
Several thousands miles of water on either side of your nation, and assloads of natural resources will do that.
They got invaded by whities who are still occupying it though.
Nobody can get there, see also: Britain post medieval times (that one is more strange since it's a rocks throw from France)
-You have to cross an ocean to even arrive
-Logistics would be a nightmare even from the UK to bumfrick Nebraska
-Massive industrial base
-Resources to boot
-Inability to cross the continent efficiently besides trains (Before cars and shit)
-Pussies for neighbors
-Rabid armed population
FRICK ROUND

No one has ever seriously tried since the Revolution, and if they had seriously tried they would still have failed because sustaining a land invasion across the atlantic is completely impossible. Even in ww2 Overlord only worked because they had britain as a staging point
1812
What is Canada for 300
Most of the british forces involved in 1812 came from Canada or their colonies in the Caribbean, they didn't have to go that far.
How England gave up the Revolutionary War boggles my mind. As an American, I do like to jerk myself off to the thought of us destroying the Brits, but how the hell did they not commit literally every available soldier and resource into keeping America is beyond me. We did not beat the Brits at their strongest at the time, and the amount of time between the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 is what allowed us to build up our military enough to challenge England.
The sheer number of resources & land that they lost out on is literally why they fell from being the #1 world power with the #1 navy to the country they are today. You would think if the British monarchy could have forseen just how valuable America was that they would have literally bankrupt England or sacrificed any number of soldiers to keep America.
The primary value of the american colonies (to the UK, obviously) was as a place to dump excess population, a purpose it still served as an independent country. The colonies that really mattered were the Caribbean and India which is where all the money came from
I mean, hindsight and all, but still, there's a reason why America is the #1 most powerful nation in the world, and that's due to the incredible amount of fertile land & resources.
>and that's due to the incredible amount of fertile land & resources
For sure, but the UK never could have really capitalised on it. The idea that they could have held the colonies long term is silly. Really they should have just let them go from the start instead of trying to keep them
>The primary value of the american colonies (to the UK, obviously) was as a place to dump excess population, a purpose it still served as an independent country.
Let's be fair, that's only because after Spain already took all the good land for sugarcane plantations, they hoped they could find something here remotely close in value and failed. Cotton and tobacco can't even compare to sugar in terms of profit.
Its important to remember as well that it was only after the lost the US that they rose to become the dominant world power in the first place. The US colonies were a money and manpower sink
The British had the French to contend with during the revolutionary war simultaneously, they had a war going on while the colonies were fricking about
Did it ever occur to you that the British had more pressing matters than some colonies they could barely turn a profit on?
Obviously, but with the knowledge we have today of just how valuable America is, should the Brits have given up the way they did? Sure everything worked out better in the end with them having given up, but still, I can't help but wonder "what if" with regards to just how things could have gone in an alternate timeline. What if England had treated the colonies well rather than like shit for example?
>What if England had treated the colonies well rather than like shit for example
Didn't they pay zero taxes for like 150 years? Didn't Jorge only start a revolution once he was told he has to pay tax on his giant profits that he and his family had never paid before? Pretty ungrateful honestly imagine having an entire civilization working on making your life better in the long run then stabbing your own family in the back, freemasons... Disgusting people.
The sad part is I can’t tell if this is a joke
It's not a joke it's true Jorge shultzheimerbergstein was forced to import a lot of other people after the mass exodus to Canada from the masonic republic
>What if England had treated the colonies well rather than like shit for example?
The colonies were treated extremely well frankly, pretty much entirely left to their own devices. At an absolute minimum they were treated no worse than the home territories.
That said obviously it sucked to live under any european government at the time, so fighting to escape such a system is perfectly reasonable. There is nothing even vaguely plausible the brits could have offered the colonies that would have stopped the american ruling class wanting to run their own country
The British rose to their peak well after they lost America, the most valuable colonies (economically) were always India and SE Asia. And a colonial system never could have capitalized on the immense natural resources in North America, nor could a British colony have grown to encompass as much of North America as an independent power that had somewhat cordial relations with both the French and the British. Also, the Brits really couldn't have appeased the Americans anymore than they already were. They accrued massive debts just trying to protect the colonies, but any attempt to tax them was immediately met with resistance demanding a level of representation that simply wasn't feasible.
The American revolution was a logistics nightmare for Britain. Also it wasn't particularly popular in England.
Add to that the fact that other European powers were still butt hurt from the 7 years war, and looking for any excuse to go after Britain again, and you have a situation where the war isn't that viable.
As an American I constantly hearing the narrative of David vs Goliath sort of shit with the American revolution, but it wasn't that simple. For fricks suck, the British had to get a bunch of German states to put forward the man power.
Once they realized France was committed to making themselves part of this fight, they didn't want to have another Seven Years War on their hands when they were still paying off the last one.
moron question, what we counting as those four times?
American Revolution obviously doesn't count because it was a fight for independence from Great Britain as opposed to an invasion.
I'm guessing we're referring to
>War of 1812 (the latter half)
>American civil war (full-scale Confederate invasions of Maryland, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, plus smaller incursions into Ohio, Vermont, and California)
>Mexican Revolution spillover (most notably the Battle of Columbus, New Mexico)
>World War II (Japanese invasions of the Aleutian Islands, Guam, and the Philippines)
Bits of US were occupied for periods of months to years in 1812 war (same as with Canada the other direction). Did neither side any good so gladly hasnt happened since.
Canada and Mexico are also the same. This whole continent is a fricking deathtrap for foreign invaders. North America should become an isolationist super-super power.
Dumb foreigners! Go home!
And take the democrats and most of the Republicans with you.
Black person we've been invaded by foreigners since 1965, go look at the southern border there's an invasion going right now that has had millions of invaders cross since 2021
Very big and surrounded by very big oceans.
>America doesn't get inva-
>Not successfully invaded since 1066
It’s not that hard.
you have nothing worth taking
that's why you set up so many fricking colonies
the only thing you have is your island fortress covered in passable farmland and rocks
1812
Didn’t stop every c**t under the sun from trying.
>set up so many colonies
This is supposed to be to our detriment how?

Because two oceans and no real enemies. It's tutorial mode.
>no real enemies
Other than the BRitz
Jorge shultzheimerbergstein on his death bed before he took his last sip of french cum said "never trust da BRitz "
Jorge shultzheimerbergstein kicked the brits asses
Simple as
They lost we kicked them out of our land
Jorge shultzheimerbergstein is the king of the americans
The brits are pussies they couldn't even hold onto a colony because beto shultzheimerbergstein kicked their asses
>have only been invaded 4 times
Since 1965, the US has let in over 85 million people. That's one of the largest invasions of a country in human history, and the US did nothing
You have unironically fallen victim to brain rot
That's not an argument. Tens of millions of people forcibly entering a country, against the will of the people yet enabled by politicians, is an invasion

So many strong and sexy Mexicans, American women will appreciate them.
...what?
Genuine question, of the wars I can remember off the top of my head, I thought there were multiple mainland invasions.
American Revolution: Brits fought on the mainland colonies frequently
War of 1812: iirc Brits burned the Whitehouse, so they had to get to the mainland for that.
ACW: Arguably, the CSA was not part of the Union and therefore invaded mainland America repeatedly.
WW1&2: fair enough, only invasion was Hawai'i, which wasn't mainland.
Korea & Vietnam: no invasions.
ME wars: arguably no enemy troops/combatants ever set foot on American soil so...
Am I misunderstanding the OP or am I mistaken in what "invasion" and "mainland" mean?
maybe he means invasion of the mainland country, just the area with the 48 main states, since the country was founded. In that case the only successful invasion is the war of 1812. The civil war is internal so not counted as a foreign invasion. Then there is the mexican american war, but it was not a successful invasion. Texas was invaded and occupied before, but it was not a part of the united states at that time. California was also invaded and occupied and under spanish control before it was a part of the united states, but not after. The mainland has been invaded many many times, sometimes successfully, but anytime there was a cohesive united states to fight it off, they always won, with the only exception being the war of 1812. Although I guess when you get to the native americans that complicates it because they never had a western style army with "invasions" and "occupations" and all that kind of stuff, but they controlled huge areas of the united states for more than a hundred years after the country was founded.
It's frickhuge and there are 2 oceans in the way.
Who has the capability to invade?
>only one of those times has been on the mainland
Setting aside the Indian Wars, a border incursion triggered the Mexican-American War, and you're forgetting 1812.
Also the Pig War.
The only real threat was the British and fighting us was never really popular. Besides, in the end they got what they wanted (our trade) without having to pay for it with the Army or Royal Navy to guard us.
>fighting us was never really popular.
The British public were ignorant to the feelings of the Americans, I'm sure if they knew about the hatred the americans had for them it would have been very different.
America is one of the best positions in terms of geographic defenses in the world
>on one side is the world's biggest ocean that we defend with a big navy
>on the other side is the world's second-biggest ocean that we defend with a big navy
>the north is both our diplomatic best friend and our biggest trading partner so they'd have to be real dicks to sell out us
>our south is one of the most inhospitable deserts in the world in terms of marching an army through, making it a logistics nightmare. And you have to march through hundreds of miles of that shit to reach civilization in some places.
america is barely over 200 years old while other countries in europe are more than a thousand years old (I know technically some of them weren't countries for that long but you get the idea) and obviously the geography is a big help for america. Also until around 1900 half the country wasn't effectively ruled by any european powers but a whole mess of competing native american tribes, some of whom were nearly impossible to defeat or keep at bay until the advent of mass produced weapons and technology that could be used against the native americans, that the army and individual citizens could use. And also france, britain, and spain all had desires to fight each other and take parts of the continent for themselves. So when you add it all up, a country with brutal environments, deserts, mountains, freezing cold and scorching hot plains with nothing other than grass, a lot of coastline that is impossible to invade because of its swamp/marsh type ground, and a bunch of competing tribes, and on top of all that, a country which is just too large to be effectively occupied or conquered until trains and other fast transport, it is pretty clear that america was almost impossible to invade
It's 250 years old
