1931 - Quebec call to France for help is answered with a seaborne invasion of southern New Brunswick and a march to relieve Quebec by the French.
Canada and UK declare war on France.
1932 - Germany invades Rhineland. UK and Germany bomb France relentlessly from the air. Spanish civil war cancelled due to no interest!!!
1933 - US forces allied with a small UK force besiege the French Expeditionary Forces at Quebec, French surrender as usual.
1934 - US purchases all of Canada north and east of Buffalo/Niagara!!!
After all they bought Alaska from Russia in 1874!
1935 - Germany occupies France with the US and UK`s goodwill.
France kept in its place. We all enjoy holidays in Germany and the USA

Quote from a (US) friend:
President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a
battle plan to pull France's ass out of the fire again. Facing an
apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 pissed off teenagers Mr. Bush doubts France's ability to hold off the little pissants. "Hell, if the last two
world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender any day
now", said Bush. Joint Chiefs head, Gen. Peter Pace, warned the President that it might be necessary to send up to 5 marines to get things under
control. The general admitted that 5 marines may be overkill but he
wanted to get this thing under control within 24 hours of arriving on scene. He
stated he was having a hard time finding even one marine to help those
ungrateful bastards out for a third time but thought that he could
persuade a few women marines to do the job before they went on pregnancy leave.
President Bush asked Gen. Pace to get our marines out of there as soon
as possible after order was restored. He also reminded Gen. Pace to make
sure the marines did not take soap, razors, or deodorant with them. The
least they stand out the better.

Much like the Italians in fact.

Re: Britain and Canada at war with the US
I should I suppose, balance the issue with a joke -
What do you call one Brit? - A Gentlemen.
What do you call one German? - A Soldier.
Two Brits? - A Club.
Two Germans? - An Army.
Three Brits? - An Empire.
Three Germans? - An Invasion!!! :scared:

I had the honour to serve with the Foreign Legion in the UN Forces however, and they are a different kettle of fish. But they arent French!
Come to think of it, I had some good chips in Paris once too. But on the whole, it's not for me. Sorry if I offended anyone. (But I crossed my fingers while typing it, so it doesnt count!)

I agree with those who reckon the Empires Indian troops would have given the Americans a good hiding..... Every time I take my American friends for a curry they always end up on the run

I believe, prior to WW11, GB was the richest country in the world & had the largest navy. USA held off in WW11, they sold us vast amounts of equipment. We ended the war owing billions$ to Yanks, still paying them in 70's No more GB, being rich. Makes ya wonder. I wonder how many younger members remember, £ Sterling , was the international trading currency of the world, not that long ago.
