This topic comes to you courtesy of your old pal Scorpius. Hi, Scorp! Post in this thread and I will, in this manner, match you to your very own nation that has, at one point, been the subject of an armed attack by the United States or her agents. Go!

The_Nazgul, obviously, is Chile, whose elected leader Salvador Allende was overthrown by a US-backed coup!  Dacovind is Afghanistan, where thousands of civilians were killed overthrowing a government that the US helped establish in the first place, replacing it with a token government that can barely keep control of the capital and a handful of powerful ethnic warlords!

You obviously don't understand.

Omlette is Vietnam, where US forces fought civilians and guerillas alike in a desperate war to support a hated dictatorship, protect Western economic interests, and prevent a popular Communist party from gaining power. This long war devastated the land, economy, and spirit of Vietnam, and caused what was once a somewhat leftist revolutionary group to shift to hardline Maoist.  XYZ is Nicaragua, whose once-popular Sandinista revolutionaries overthrew an oppressive government only to be constantly harried by counterrevolutionaries supported by US weapons and cocaine money.

Alorael is Germany, where the US first involved itself in a war it should have never been involved in and then came very late to deal with a problem that it was partially responsible for creating.  Imban is Mexico, which the United States fought against several times in order to get land out of the deal, most notably to protect a bunch of lying, treacherous thieves who we call the founding fathers of Texas.

quote:Indeed, and you want to know one of the reasons it was done udercover? Cause on Chile they could not use the excuse that they where under a regime, Chile as you may not know, was the firts country in world history to actually elect democraticly, no guns involved, a communist president. Of course Nixon could not allow this so...well you know the results. BTW: I live in Concepción (see map), if anyone out there feels like throwing a tomahawk missile.

Interesting thread.  I was about to notice that the countries posted so far are countries that the United States succeeded in invading and bending to their will, which made me sort of despair in terms of getting my native Canada and the War of 1812. Then I saw Vietnam. It's all good, people. Posts: 236 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Can I be Hawaii? Well, the annexation was pretty restrained by US standards, but it's such a lovely, sunny place. Posts: 2333 | Registered: Monday, January 7 2002 08:00 |

Hmmh. If you count individual US states as 'conflict nations', you would have ammunition for quite some time. Anyways, the best part is that he's using CIA maps. Delicious. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

Hoo boy. I was out having my sexual proclivities insulted. Anyway. NaCN is Iran, whose corrupt pro-Western-business Shah was propped up by the States for quite a while, culminating in the Iranian Revolution which was really good for no one.  stranger is Israel, which is a violent apartheid state in the throes of interminable chronic civil war. Of course, the dominant faction is pumped full of US money and weapons -- more money goes to the Israeli government in foreign aid than the federal government gives to any state!  General Custer is, appropriately, the Sioux nation, who were driven out of their land and systematically eradicated by American forces.  Lord Bob is Somalia, a state that is currently in what, to paraphrase Thuryl, I would call "the bad kind of anarchy." If you're the type to keep up with overwrought pro-USA rah-rah go-team sorts of war movies, you probably know that the United States sent in troops in a well-meaning but ill-advised attempt to secure food shipments to Somali civilians.  RoR is East Timor, which was conquered by US ally Indonesia in 1975 and oppressed for 27 years with the implicit acknowledgement and explicit support of the United States. As many as 250 thousand people lost their lives during the armed occupation.  X gets to be Hawaii, which was subjugated by American marines at pretty much the direct request of the Dole fruit company. RentBoy is Cuba, which was freed from Spain in the Spanish American War, but promptly placed back under American domination with the Platt amendment. Later, the revolution of Fidel Castro was supported with US weapons and money; not too long afterwards, the US-supported Bay of Pigs invasion was a massive and resounding flop.
