[Pocus]

An interesting document about the color-coded war plans of the US, this one is about the invasion of Canada, in 1935 (from a declassified archive):

rather strange

Even stranger is "Defence Scheme No. 1" or Canada's plan for a counter-invasion of the United States.

"According to the plan, Canadian troops would immediately be sent to seize Seattle, Washington; Great Falls, Montana; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Albany, New York in a surprise attack. In case of heavy resistance, the Canadians would retreat to their own borders, destroying bridges and railroads to hinder any retaliation by the Americans."
