Couldn't stop us Canadian's from burning down your White House though! :P lol
Hmm.. Canada's done some good stuff, don't remember most of it though. We built the first jet that could hit Mach 2,the AVRO Arrow. But thanks to one of our worst Prime Minister's ever (Deifenbaker), production was stopped and ever since we've been a pretty terrible nation for Military achievements..

We were also Britain's most powerful ally in WW2 until the Soviet Union and the USA decided to join the winning team :P Oh, and we're undefeated atm in terms of wars :o

sadly you didnt burn down the white house us Brits did as we also won the 1812 war for you nice sig tho i laughed my ass of .
The United States of America? Our greatest military achievement is that after we won the American Revolutionary War, held our own against an empire in the War of 1812, and kicked ass in the Mexican American War, we had nobody left to fight, so we were so effing metal that we declared war on ourselves! And we freaking WON.

Second time was a significant amount of time after both the great wars.. and the fact WW1 was going on doesn't change the fact that a much larger British Garrisson in Ireland was ousted by the IRA. And you asked for Military successes, not politics.

Doesn't change the fact the IRA stalemated the British crown forces does it?

We made life miserable for The Nazies occupying Norway and helped the british with their supply routes. Additionally we also constantly rowed over to England earlier in history, where we plundered, enslaved, raped and killed the Englishmen, before we rowed back to Ale, mutton and trade among other viking tribes.

Liberated France Occupied Germany Defeated Spain Beat off the British beat back China and North Korea Created the Atomic Bomb and defeated Japan Liberated Kuwait Occupied Iraq Liberated Afghanistan To name a few.
Biggest Empire ever, Britain's Common wealth. WW2, held off the Nazis despite a poor economy and feeble army and air force. WW1, we lost many but won in the end. Numerous victories against France. Agencourt. Waterloo. Defeating the Spannish Armada. Bravo Two Zero.

[QUOTE="markop2003"] That's because it was peacekeeping not a war, it's not hard to reach a stalemate in the IRAA's circumstances No matter what way you look at it it happened.. the IRA stalemated the British army so it was a military achievement non the less. And sorry but since when did peacekeeping involve reprisal policies?
