I always thought Burgers and Canadians got along, like family, but I just found out that the US has invaded Canada twice.
First was just the states of New York and Massachusetts invading it really, then the whole US invaded again. Massachusetts also invaded Canada even before that (also learned Maine was part of Massachusetts?)
What can Burgers tell me about their wars with Canada? Why didn't that take it later once they got stronger versus the Brits? Like, the US fought Mexico and stole like half their land. Did they ever come close again?
Yeah Benedict Arnold got shot in the leg leading the assault into Canada and got treated like shit afterwards. That's why everyone was so suprised when he switched sides. They thought he was such a loyal push over that they could pass him over for commands and choose not to pay him so he could pay off his massive debt since he was the loyal soldier who would risk his life for the cause while everyone else fought from the back.
Also frick Canada. Too many Canadians.
Man Benedict really got fricked over by the US considering he's basically the reason the place exists as a Sovereign entity. Without his victories in the early war it wouldn't have mattered how many times Washington managed to "escape with his army intact".
He didn’t get fricked over by shit. He switched sides in the middle of a war. That’s like literally the worst sin in Dante’s inferno.
He got fricked over the by the British that treated him like a fricking bozo American that couldn’t be trusted.
Dante's Inferno isn't dogma. Its Hell fanfiction. And he did get fricked over. We would be calling him a hero today if the congress just did what they promised to do and paid his debts like he had earned. Actual dyed in the wool Loyalists are who the real scum are. Willing to kill their neighbors and friends for basically no good reason when they could have easily just sat it out
None of it is dogma it’s all make believe

Also you can build a thousand bridges and not be a bridge builder, but you turn traitor once and you’ll always be a wienersucker.
His leg still has a memorial even though the rest of him is a filthy traitor
Third time's a charm. Western provinces deadass petitioned to join the USA during the interwar period due to economic hardship. Castro's bastard and Chinese beachheads on the West coast will bring things to a head sooner than later.
Among the standout battlefield commanders of the Revolutionary war that staked personal funds into the conflict, unlike many others gambling on Manifest Destiny land claims east of the Appalachians.
>I always thought Burgers and Canadians got along, like family
Family's fight
Massachusetts had big ambitions. They wanted Nova Scotia and genocided the Catholic Acadians up north. This is back when they were Puritan extremists who were hanging people for witchcraft. This legacy lived on unfortunately, as you could buy alcohol on Sundays until fairly recently, which used to always frick our three day weekend parties.
They also had King Philips War, which is the deadliest war in America's history in terms of % of the population killed (also before independence). Basically the Puritans and Natives went full bronze age genocidal war of annihilation on each other. Only American city I know of to be completely raised happened there (city was later rebuilt and is actually where US military rifles were made until the M-16.
Forgot my pic.
Anyhow, it's not surprising that the Revolution kicked off there. It's more surprising they got the rest to go along.
Vermont was closer to Canada and the French in terms of identity and was essentially an independent country until after the Revolution was settled. Then it eventually decided to become the 14th state instead of going it alone.
>wars with Canada
It was less about Canada and more about Great Britain. Canada was fought in simply because that's where the lobsterbacks were. It's why you saw very little action in the War of 1812 in Canada. The whole thing is somewhat of an oddity as neither side was actually prepared for a conflict and both were scrambling forces to do anything meaningful. There were relatively few large scale battles, but lots of small actions.
Hell, the burning of both York by the Americans and DC by the British had relatively few casualties considering the sheer size and nominal importance of the locations. The entire War of 1812 is generally forgotten about by everyone involved outside of the occasional shitposting.
The best thing to come out of it was this absolute banger though:
The invasion in 1775 seems to have gone better. They took Montreal and besieged Quebec City before retreating back due to supplies.
It was also a winter invasion lol. If you don't know the geography, while Montreal is in a flat area, upstate New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire are all very mountainous, with snowfalls starting in September or October and lasting into May at elevation.
So, a winter offensive through the mountains to besiege a city a good deal north of Montreal. It's amazing it went as well as it did. It only worked because all the soldiers had grown up on a frontier. An urban conscript army would have died trying to make it up.
Oh, and even Southern New England, hundreds of miles south, has average winter lows below Moscow or Helsinki at sea level.
>Winter invasion of Canada.
Genius.
>that the US has invaded Canada twice.
>Canada not a country till late 1880's

>when willl they go back?
>why are they here?
>what do they want?
Semantics autism
This is the common cope used when the US is reminded that it has lost every war it fought against Canada.
How many US teams vs Canadian teams have hoisted Lord Stanley's cup?
What country did Gordie Howe's team call home every year he was in the NHL?
>checkmate maplechinks.
>you made one good TV show.
>Yanks still staff their teams predominantly with Canadian players
Canadians have won every Stanley cup.
>Canadians can't even afford to polish the cup without Americans footing the bill for them.
Panamanian Fifa player tier
>Panamanian Fifa player tier
I know, it's rather shocking the yanks lost two wars to them.
>What can Burgers tell me about their wars with Canada?
Do you expect them to lay it like it is? That US was inept militarily and started winning it's wars only once their skill issue was outweighed by GDP being many multiples of their opponents?
But the US won the Revolutionary War. England didn't retake it in 1812 and got raped at New Orleans. The US won against Mexico, the South, Spain, etc
>the US won the Revolutionary War.
FRANCE won the revolutionary war, with some support from the British North American Colonies. The USA is what resulted from the outcome of the war, not a participant.
Yeah, just like how the Soviet Union beat Germany but the UK didn't.
Before the greatest invention in US history, high fructose corn syrup, we had no natural means of producing sugar goo in the meaningful quantities needed to grow the American population. However the greedy, perfidious leafs maintain a massive maple syrup reserve that was a perfect substitute, and those bastards don't even eat the stuff, preferring to smother their food in watery gravy and cheese curds, instead of ranch and syrup as God intended.
>so we went to war.
Canada was not formed until 1867, so the US never invaded Canada.
what about the time they burn the white house ?
Really letting that ignorance out to shine eh burger. Looks like Shlomo got what he paid for with your state funded education.
We Confederated in 1812. The British colonial region known as Canada existed from when the first White man asked the first Red man he ran into “what’s this place called?”
Also with the collapse and negrification of the United States in such an advanced state, I move for the formation of a Militia of Canadian Men in good standing, to March South and reclaim good fertile land from the feral Black folks that now occupy its post apocalyptic remnants.
Any ‘Whites’ encountered can be safely assumed to be israelites, Trannies, Furries, Mentally Ill beyond saving, or some combination of the above, and so clear to shoot on sight and the corpses burned to prevent a public health threat.
God Bless Greater Canada! God Save the King!
>I move for the formation of a Militia of Canadian Men in good standing, to March South and reclaim good fertile land from the feral Black folks that now occupy its post apocalyptic remnants.
t. descendant of expelled acadians that came back
Correction. We confederated in 1967. Canada predated this by literal centuries.
Burgers upset they couldn’t take our land then, and trying now would make Afghanistan look like a slap fight with the school moron in a sandbox, and the Winter War look like a snowball fight between morons.
You mean 1867? Or was that something else?
No, he was right about that. Canada didn't become an independent country until the Crown (yes, the British) let them have that in the 60s or so. They never fought to earn independence like us.
Yeah and we invaded them and burned down the White House. Bet you didn’t know that.
Also a couple of times they sent their ~~*potatoBlack folk*~~ to invade us and we crushed them both times.
Also anyone about to say
>lulz they weren’t Canadian in 1812
Read pic related and suck a fat wiener.
>and suck a fat wiener
Nice projection anon, quintessentially american (and don't forget to mention the color of the skin next time)
>leaf acting like british victories are their own
Sick of you colonial scum.
>cangen is leaking
back to your rcmp containment thread, underachievers
america has a plan to invade canada
We fight like brothers do, but for sure we both hate russians with a passion. Go back to your containment cage on /misc/ pidor.
>be from Halifax
>fortress takes up 1/4 of the urban core of the city
>never got attacked once
The only time our city ever saw any action was when the Norwegians and French accidentally blew up half of the city.
We had a relatively half assed invasion that was 3 day special military operation tier with militia and very little professional troops.
American states fought wars with other states and I’m not even referring to the civil war. For example, Pennsylvania fought a “war” with Connecticut over a border dispute.
>Moeur declared martial law on Nov. 10, 1934, and dispatched 100 National Guard troops from the 158th Infantry Regiment. The soldiers set up camp around the dam site, halting construction, and acquired two ferryboats owned by Nellie T. Bush, a famous steamboat captain and Arizona state legislator (as well as the temporary admiral of the “Arizona Navy”). The troops attempted to use the ferryboats to inspect the dam’s construction but got tangled in some cables and had to be rescued by enemy forces.
Arizona and Cali have been in a legal war, that almost went hot more than once, over the Colorado river for more than a century. Sonora (the mexican state) is sort of involved too but nobody cares about them.
>Canadians are smug about events that happened 210 years ago
>Meanwhile their government keeps repeatedly banning guns, passing absurd tyrannical laws that make the USA PATRIOT Act blush
Is it cope for their modern inferiority complex as just "America's hat"? It's pretty telling when most of the people I speak to from Sask or Alberta would rather be in the US than live in a country alongside people coping over events that are virtually ancient history at this point.
