History
War Plan Red was one of a number of U.S. color-coded war plans developed by the U.S. after the First World War.
When War Plan Red was declassified in 1974, it caused a stir in American-Canadian relations because Canada, codenamed "Crimson" in the plan, was to have been the principal target of American forces.
