Yes we have. The British burned the White House in 1812. The
Japanese captured and briefly held some of the Aleutian Islands during
WWII. The Confederate States of America invaded the North, if you

Britain had a huge colony with a huge American border, not to mention
Belize and assorted Carribean possessions. France held Mexico for ten
years or so. What happened there?
