On 21 September 2011, the Daily Mail explains: How America planned to destroy BRITAIN.
From this we learn:
In 1930, the US military approved a plan for an attack on BRITAIN and its EMPIRE with bombing raids and chemical weapons.
Plan Red was the code for this massive US war against Britain.
The USA's 1930 plan aimed to destroy Britain's trading ability and bring Britain to its knees.
'Nazi' MacArthur signed the plan to bomb Britain.
The use, against Britain, of massive bombing raids and chemical weapons was agreed to by the USA's General Douglas MacArthur.
The top-secret papers, "once regarded as the most sensitive on Earth", were found within the American National Archives in Washington.
In 1931, the U.S. government got Nazi sympathiser Charles A. Lindbergh to spy on Canada.
Four years later, the U.S. Congress agreed to the building of three secret airfields on the U.S. side of the Canadian border.
In 1935, America staged its largest-ever military manoeuvres near the Canadian border.
The first attack on British citizens was to be in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in Canada.
According to Professor Mike Vlahos, of the U.S. Naval War College, 'The U.S. was forced to contemplate any measure to keep Britain at bay.'
'You have to remember the U.S. was born out of a revolutionary struggle against Britain in 1776,' says Dr. John H. Maurer, of the U.S. Naval War College.
On 15 June 1939, an internal US memo states these plans for an invasion 'should be retained' for the future.

War Plan Red - from Wikipedia
According to Wikipedia:
War Plan Red, also known as the Atlantic Strategic War Plan, was a plan for the United States to make war with Great Britain (the "Red" forces).
It was developed by the United States Army during the mid 1920s, approved in May 1930 by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of Navy, updated in 1934–35, and officially withdrawn in 1939, following the outbreak of the Second World War, when it and others like it were replaced by the five "Rainbow" plans created to deal with the Axis threat.
However, it was not declassified until 1974.
The war was intended to be a continental war, waged primarily on North American territory between the United States and the British Empire.
The assumption was that Canada would represent the primary theater of operations.
War Plan Red was created because some American planners thought that Britain’s imperial reach would bring it into conflict with the U.S.
In 1935 War Plan Red was updated and specified which roads to use in the invasion...
War Plan Red was only one of a number of U.S. color-coded war plans developed at this time.
War Plan Red was declassified in 1974, and caused a stir in American-Canadian relations...
