    Although Canada, with 60,000 troops, is not enough, its land area is too large, and it is not cost-effective for the United States to annex him.

    I think it may be because the United States has been busy with overseas colonial expansion in recent years, so it can't take care of Canada, and the United States thinks that overseas colonial expansion is more important than Canada's territory.

    Mainly because the United States was not particularly strong at that time, and there was no way to compete with Canada at that time, so it did not annex them.

    When the United States wanted to annex Canada, it was far less powerful than Britain and had no ability to annex Canada; When the United States surpassed Britain in strength and had the ability to annex Canada, the United States had no need to expand its territory; Today, an independent Canada would do more good than harm to the United States.

    First of all, the United States once wanted to annex Canada, but it was not strong enough to be an opponent of Britain. The United States and Canada were both former British colonies, and the United States gained independence in 1783. It was only in 1982 that Canada took back the constitutional amendment power from the Queen of England and was considered completely independent.

    When the United States first became independent, it had a strong need to expand its territory and wanted to annex Canada, but was defeated by Britain. At the beginning of independence, the United States had only 13 states and a territory of just over 800,000 square kilometers. It was after more than 100 years of expansion that the United States changed from a small country on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean to a large country bordering the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean to the east and west.

    On June 18, 1812, the United States declared war on Great Britain and invaded Canada, known as the Second Revolutionary War, also known as the American-Canadian War. At the beginning of the war, the United States achieved a certain advantage. The point was that the main British forces were busy besieging Napoleon on the continent.

    By 1813, Britain had mobilized a large number of troops into North America, and the United States could not resist. Eventually, the United States was forced to abandon its territorial needs for Canada.

    Since then, the United States has no idea of attacking Canada, and has set its sights on Mexico for territorial expansion. The key point is that Britain was still the hegemon of the world at that time, and the United States was just a "small country on the border". In terms of military strength and comprehensive national strength, the United States is not capable of competing with Britain.

    Second, when the United States surpassed Britain in terms of comprehensive national strength, there was no need to expand its territory. In 1898, the United States surpassed Great Britain in terms of total industrial output. After World War I, the United States entered the war and achieved international status equal to Britain, and its overall national strength surpassed that of Britain.

    After the end of World War II, the United States overtook Britain in all its aspects.

    However, at that time, the United States no longer had the need to expand its territory. On the contrary, after the end of World War II, the United States hoped to maintain the international order and maintain its hegemony through the United States. It was precisely under the impetus of the United States and the Soviet Union that the colonial system represented by Britain and France collapsed rapidly after World War II.

    For Canada, which is close at hand, the United States has no will to annex it.

    Toronto, the capital of Canada

    Now, through NAFTA, Canada has become a source of raw materials for the United States, and there is no need for annexation. You know, the Americans are very showy. The per capita GDP of the United States has exceeded $60,000, while Canada's per capita GDP is only $10,000.

    From an economic point of view alone, after the United States annexed Canada, it needed to invest a huge amount of money to subsidize Canada, is it a loss-making business?

    The United States did not have the idea of annexing Canada, and the United States went to annex Canada in the second American-British war, but the United States suffered heavy losses in this war, with a death toll of nearly 6,000 people, and the worst thing was that its economy could not resist the blockade and dumping of Britain in the empire on which the sun never set. It's not that the United States can't swallow Canada, and the United States can't defeat Britain. Britain is an insurmountable mountain for the United States to annex Canada.

    In order to prevent another attempt by the United States to invade again, Canada built the Trans-Canadian Pacific Railway in order to unite its loose territories into a whole. The railroad became an impregnable wall against American invasion, once again putting an end to the U.S. plan to annex Canada. After that, the plantation owners in the southern United States were not very interested in the bitter cold land of Canada, and even if they won Canada, they could not grow cotton, so why bother?

    The bourgeoisie in the north focused on making money, developing industry, and engaging in foreign trade, rather than forcibly seizing land, and they had little interest in Canada. With the awakening of Canada's national consciousness, in 1926 they achieved the same diplomatic status as Britain, and it was impossible for the United States to annex Canada.

    Because there is the United Nations in the world, there are anti-war organizations, people yearn for peace and oppose war, and Canada is dependent on the United States in everything, obeys the arrangements of the United States, and even handed over military persuasion to the United States, so there is no need for the United States to waste resources and swallow Canada.

    The United States once had this idea, but the Canadians directly hit the office building of the American capital and set it on fire, and the United States painted a layer of white ash on the wall, which is now the White House. In fact, the United States is big enough, the environment is good, there is no big demand for territory, most of Canada's land is not suitable for living, and there is no threat to the United States, resource development can be sold, and more importantly, they are of the same culture, even if they occupy it, they are also self-governing by their own people, so there is no need to spend so much effort.

    First, at present, Canada relies on the support of the United States in both military and scientific and technological aspects, and the United States is already the actual controller of Canada, so there is no need to start a war at all.

    Second, there are common roots between the two countries in terms of culture and national characteristics, so people-to-people exchanges between the two countries are very frequent, and the United States launching a war is a great loss for itself.

    Because Canada's territory is very vast, and Canada's level of economic development and military development are very fast, for the United States, although it has a large population, but the development of armament and armed forces is far inferior to Canada, in the process of fighting, the United States can not adapt to the various natural conditions of Italy, military force conditions are gradually declining, so it can not take Canada.

    After the end of the American Revolution, it wanted to expand northward in an attempt to invade Canada. The war was waged in 1812, also known as the Second War of Independence. The United States has always been an ally of France against Britain.

    In 1812, the United States took advantage of Napoleon's crusade to attack (British) Canada with indigenous people. Both sides have won and lost each other. In August 1814, the British captured Washington and burned the White House, and the French Bourbon dynasty was restored.

    However, the British had to retreat due to the total annihilation of their navy and lack of supplies.

    The two sides signed the Peace of Entt at the end of 1814. Britain recognized the independence of the United States, and the United States recognized Canada's borders.

    |Satisfactory answerSouthern Cross|6002 Satisfactory Answers2011-02-09Relations between Canada and the United States**In the British colonial system, exchanges between the two countries are taking place all the time. The two sides have similar systems, similar political systems, and cross-reference between constitutional outlines and legal systems. In other words, Canada is an upgraded version of the United States.

    Canadian citizens enjoy full judicial, medical, and public authority in the United States. Americans and Canadians have a deep blood relationship, and in the 300 years since the establishment of the North American state system, the two sides have had countless consultations, and the two sides have negotiated and solved various problems, and consider the other party to be gentle, friendly, and communicative partners. The United States and Canada have built a fraternal and mutually recognizable relationship through 300 years of communication.

    In fact, it is also very understandable that many Americans now have Canadian citizenship, and many Canadians have American citizenship. Why start a war against yourself yourself? Follow-up:

    First, because according to the information at that time, Mexico's resources, geographical and climatic conditions were far better than Canada's; Second, at that time, Britain was the world's largest power after all, and persimmons were always soft and pinched. Moreover, the support of France played an important role in the success of the United States in independence. But later, with the French Revolution, Louis XVI, who supported the United States, was executed, and he was no longer able to support the United States.

    Canada is a neighbor of the United States and has a large land area, so why didn't the United States annex it in the face of such a piece of "fat meat"? Actually, no, but the United States once wanted to annex itBut for a number of reasonsAnd that thought was dispelled

    When Canada was not founded in the first place, it was a British Overseas Colony。At that time, overseas expansion was a keen method for the emerging capitalist countries to find overseas markets. And at that time, the United States had just been formed, and its strength was very weak, and it was completely unable to resist the power of the British.

    A few decades after the independence of the United States, when the comprehensive national strength developed to the first in the Americas, in order to expand its territory, it launched a war against Canada, which was then a British colony, which is known in history as the Second American-British War. But I didn't expect that,The U.S. military was defeated by a combined army composed of Canadian militias, Aboriginal people, and British troops. What's even more embarrassing is that later, the British army also discovered the intention of the US military, sent troops to the US mainland, occupied the US capital, and burned the ** building, and later the Americans rebuilt the ** building, and painted it white, this is the White House today.

    At the outbreak of the Second World War,Canada is an ally of the United States, maintain a good cooperative relationship. After the end of World War II, the bipolar pattern of the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony began to emerge. Canada would be a good buffer in the northern part of the United States, in the event of a Soviet attack.

    And there is no need for the United States to occupy Canada to increase the military burden. Moreover, in the post-World War II world, the goal of the capitalist state is no longer simply to occupy land.
