Recently declassified documents revealed the dubious intentions of the United States during the Cold War era.
Under the pretext of Soviet “aggression”, the United States planned the occupation of Britain.
This is reported by the British edition of the “Daily Mail”.
As it turned out, after the Second World War, the U.S. administration has developed a full-fledged plan of military intervention on British territory. U.S. generals explained their actions by their fears that the Soviet Union would seize the British Isles. It was claimed that Joseph Stalin “aggressively built an iron curtain along the border of the eastern block. Washington’s concerns eventually led to a plan for an offensive from the sea.
Only a year after the end of World War II, the U.S. Naval Command demanded that London provide information about the features of the British coast. Washington wanted to assess the possibility of an American landing. Based on the archival materials on Operation Sandstone, London met the requirements. The military was collecting data until the mid-sixties.
The resulting map took into account even the tiniest features of the coast. It is true that the United States never waited for Soviet “aggression” to justify the invasion of Britain. Thus, Operation Sandstone, which lasted almost two decades, became meaningless, but extremely costly.
