No, we did not use force in the end. That is not an option that we like. We said before.
Mexico attacked you because you took advantage of their revolution to occupy a dispute territory, Veracruz which is closer to Mexico. That beside the point, the event and I think you mean the Niagara Falls peace conference, was nothing different from our Declaration of Conduct of Parties in SCS which was agreed upon, and the current negotiated Code of Conduct to lower the tension. Last, the US didn't go to international court to settle their dispute with Mexico.
Canada is a commonwealth country. They have tight relation with the UK so I won't be surprise they trust the UK to represent them to settle dispute with the USA. It is similar to the Mongolia back by the Soviet Union to settle border with us.
You did use force, a show of force which your garrison is still remained in the Shoal. You did not fight does not equal to you did not use force.
And no, Mexico did not attack the US because the US took advantage of their revolution to occupy Veracruz. Veracruz was actually the end of the long list of Mishap during the whole Mexican Revolution, after the Veracruz incident, the relation was actually left void for the duration of the whole WW1 and did not pick back up until the end of WW1 in 1918. By then the dust is more than settled.
And also no, the Niagara Falls peace conference is not a declaration of conduct of parties, it is basically a political blackmailing to have the US focus on Europe, in effect, it basically said if US continue on the rout with Mexico, then the US will have to face not only Mexico, but the big 3 in South America, Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
US back off, even tho they can, again, more than enough to face the 4 countries.
On Britain and Canada, you have a seriously lacking of Commonwealth History, by the time in the 1930s, the commonwealth are no more than a name, effectively after WW1 ended in 1918, UK does not represent any of the commonwealth union. And after the federation of Canada in 1867, the British effectively leave Canada for its own device
Most people errorendously assume Commonwealth Country were still part of British Rule until they were republicized. i.e. deposed the Queen of the United Kingdom. What UK to the Canada in 1927 is the same of what UK does to Australia today, which is nothing but a merely empty "Head of States" UK in no way represent Australia today as much as UK are no way represent Canada back in 1927. This is a lot different than what Mongolia is to the Soviet union.
And finally, I never said anything about International Court, I said Multi-party negotiation. You do understand the different between Bilateral Dialogue and Multinatioal Talk and International Court, right? Also my point is, there are many other way China can act, be that engage thru Multinational talk or tribunal or even international court, but these aren't what China is doing now didn't it?
