Why didn't the British invade during the American civil war?
They could of conquered one side as it would be fighting on both fronts, then moved slowly in on the other.

Because God was on America's side.

Because we were too busy maintaining our massive empire to bother with you silly burgers.

Cause there were next to zero interest in conquer a bunch of people who just 80 years earlier made it obvious they didn't want to be ruled by a crown agian.
Cotton could be found else where and as for a footnote in the Americas they already had Canadia and the Bahamas.

>Both confederates and union sides come to conclusion that they'd prefer each other over the fucking crown
>Renewed nationalism, civil war ended diplomatically, all war resources dedicated towards defense of major east coast cities
>Ship every last nigger to the british isles, whether they want them or not

How did that turn out again?

Half way through the civil war the armies of both sides would BTFO of any english force they could get to the Americas. The British were also getting btfo everywhere else at this time.

Feels good.

It would be extremely costly and I doubt they could conquer the confederacy and definitely not the union.

You're a big empire.

Because Russia would immidiately join the war on the US side, this topic has been beaten to death.

Because the great powers said they'd join the opposing side of the UK joined. Also the 13 colonies were wealthy in that they bought up so many goods rather than producing goods themselves.

What would be the justification?

Fine for literally decades following the civil war.
Why the fuck are you judging the 1860s by a collapse that happened in the 20th century?
Why don't you go around posting in literally any thread discussing countries that used to be major powers but floundered and ask that stupid question?
Jace Ward
That was a nice read thanks.

There were many points that Europe felt the need to intervene in the conflict, due to the unimaginable body count.
However, the CSA ambassador to Britain sucked and Lincoln warned that any intervention would result in a declaration of war.
Why go to war when you can do nothing with no consequences?
Mason Robinson
Yeah, let's send an expeditionary force all the way across the ocean to fight a large industrial country in a state of full military mobilization with hundreds of thousands of battle-hardened troops deploying advanced experimental weapons.
Blake White
the british didn't have enough men to intervene and what they did have was tied up in bengal and india because it's only six years after the mutiny
usacac.army.mil
moreover, the ACW was a bloodbath the british didn't fucking want to get tied into. The European high societies cried over American youth getting sent to their death but hell over high water if their governments would intervene. They were quite too busy scheming against each other.

You playing to much GSG

They would have had to have stationed and supplied over half a million men across an ocean (which would have been one of the greatest military expenditures in the history of mankind to that point). To conquer a people and land that had both modern technology and clearly shown they had no interest in being part of the British Empire.
They could have down that or conquered most of the other 80% of the world, guess which one they picked.
Austin Williams
Because Russia and Prussia backed the Union.
