13. Could War Plan Red Have Worked?
Modern historians and military analysts generally agree that War Plan Red would have faced enormous challenges in practice. The logistics of invading Canada, securing vast territories, and facing the Royal Navy would have stretched U.S. resources to the limit. Many experts argue that the plan’s success was doubtful, especially considering Britain’s global reach and alliances. Its value, instead, lay in forcing military planners to consider the complexities of large-scale operations (via HistoryNet).
