Description

Hidden deep inside the American National Archives theres a strange and unsettling world. Lying untouched for years the plan Red contains detailed preparations for a massive war between America and the British Empire. It shows where they would fight, what troops would be needed and how the battles would unfold. Throughout the plan the Americans refer to themselves as blue while the British are reds. The British Empire at the beginning of the 20th century was the greatest the world had ever seen, but this did cause some resentment. We now think of Britain and America as having a special relationship. After all they did fight side by side in two world wars. But at the start of the 20th century the two countries have been at each others throats for well over a hundred years, and much of the fighting had taken place in the British dominion of Canada.
