*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 Hunter Patriots invaded Canada in 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 also 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 It was officially withdrawn in 1939.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.
