It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the US invaded The Maritimes, where I live.

In 1917 Halifax was devastated when two munitions ships collided causing a 3 Kiloton non-nuclear explosion (another interesting story) which resulted in a lot of eye injuries from flying glass since people looked out through windows at the burning ships when the explosion happened.

Boston sent help and ever since Halifax sends the city a Christmas tree.

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if soldiers from Boston who would certainly have vivid memories of the assistance, were to participate in dropping poison gas on the same people they helped ten or fifteen years later.
