Operation Burgoyne was a plan by the British to defeat the USA. The plan involved capturing the northern United States quickly before they could deploy a fully mobilized army. The operation made initial successes, but they failed to capture Washington DC. Second of all, much of their forces got bogged down in New York, greatly diminishing their army's size and overstretching the rest, especially after Mexico was kicked out by Eisenhower. Lastly, they did not take out the Rockies quickly. With Burgoyne a failure, this led to the Axis powers going into retreat, into Canada.
