What if United States invades Brazil in 1942

But in the end we can agree, this plan by the United States to invade Brazil in case Brazil did something ore join a power not friendly to the United States is interesting.

 

An interesting tidbit to be sure. When Canada learned a variant of Plan Red involved them in the early 1970's there was a mild scandal. Then again the British had a plan to defend Canada from the US in the early 1920's, so turnabout is fair play.

 

Makes you wonder if the Color codded plans are still in some way ore another being updated.

 

I do know about U.S. Naval War College War Games: Lets play War Games 1979- 1988

 

Yes that you are right about.

 

Indeed, however, the Navy War College "war planning" existed the Spanish-American War. It was established in 1884. It was the Joint Army-Navy Board in 1903, that began reviewing the Naval War College plan and recommended whether or not it should be submitted to the President. In 1904, the Joint Board established the "color-coding" for foreign nations and the Army War College was established, partly in order to correct some of the faults seen in that war. The AWC followed the same pattern of student "contingency planning" exercises and the Joint Board continued its function of approving the plans. After World War I, the Joint Board selected a Joint Planning Committee comprised of six senior planning officers from each service, but the War Colleges continued their function of creating plans as part of student exercises. It was the JPC and the Colleges that formulated the RAINBOW plans.

 

Did they also as far as i know conduct during World War II, war games.

 

The War Colleges closed during World War II.

 

Well, at least you are in the Pacific. Close, but no cigar...

You seem to have confused the Samoan Crisis with some fictitious incident at Honolulu.
Germany, the United States both had warships there, and they were joined by the British HMS Calliope which was acting as a mediator between the US and German forces...However, Japan was not involved. What finally settled the Crisis was a typhoon in mid-March, 1889, that sank or wrecked all German and US vessels, with the only British warship present, HMS Calliope, being able to make it out of the harbor and ride out the storm at sea.

 

I don't think he said you were, but you do appear to be confusing something? Togo was commander of the Advanced Naval College at Etajima from May 1896 until 1899, so would have been hard put to participate in a confrontation of Hawaii during that period.

 

Never mind, I misread what you wrote. So you're talking about the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy? Togo was sent to Honolulu in command of Naniwa in the aftermath and unilaterally denounced the action, while encouraging the British to join him in his symbolic protest of failing to salute the new flag. The Japanese commissioner in the islands ordered him to cease and he was recalled soon after to take up his command at Etajima. I don't think the Prussians were involved, but William Morgan's American Gibraltar apparently covers the event in some detail. Now it looks like a minor kerfluffle and never really got to the level of a "confrontation", but then it was considered more seriously.
