理查‧蒙哥瑪利 (Richard
Montgomery) 將軍攻佔蒙特婁
1775年11月13日
加拿大與美國之間是否曾經彼此交戰呢？儘管這兩個國家從來都沒有以獨立國家的身份投入正式的戰爭，當加拿大還是英國殖民地時，美國卻曾經試圖征服這個位在北部的鄰居。美國想要入侵加拿大的企圖從來都沒有成功，而且至少有三位帶領軍隊攻打加拿大的軍官，最後都被送交軍事法庭審判、戰死，或者是被流放離國。
在1775年11月13日，理查‧蒙哥瑪利將軍率領美國軍隊攻佔了蒙特婁。同年的秋天，喬治‧華盛頓將軍派遣班尼狄克‧阿諾 (Benedict
Arnold) 攻佔加拿大的魁北克市。不過，美國軍隊攻佔加拿大的時間並不長。
Have Canada and the United States ever been at war with each other? While the two nations never engaged in formal war as independent countries, America did try to conquer its neighbor to the north when Canada was a colony of England. America's attempts to invade Canada were never successful, and at least three of the officers who led assaults on Canada ended up court-martialed, dead, or exiled.
On November 13, 1775, General Richard Montgomery led American troops in the capture of Montreal. In the autumn of that same year, General George Washington ordered Benedict Arnold to capture the Canadian city of Quebec. Their presence in Canada, however, was not long lasting.
