[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] Uh, wasn't the US/Canada border actually forged in bitter war? [/QUOTE]Nope, we did it nice and friendly, with treaties to stabilise the border along a particular line, trading bits of territory on either side of that line. There were tensions between Canada and the US throughout the 19th century and into the early 20th; Canadian troops conducted recon along the US border as late as the 1920s. The only 'proper' was was the War of 1812, when the US invaded Canada in response to the RN seizing deserters off US ships. The US burned Yory (Now part of Toronto) and then got their rear ends kicked out. The war was a minor theatre for us as we were busy fighting what was basically a world war agains France at the time. But in the end good triumphed and peace was signed, after we had burned Washington and the US realised it could never take us on. Also there were trading considerations (we didn't even bother to blockade New York for most of the war). There was also a rather embarassing incident at New Orleans but we don't talk about that (and it happened after the peace treaty). [/QB][/QUOTE]
