A plot device that depicts the United States as a target of foreign occupation by another (nation-)state or states. The work will usually focus on the heroic efforts of either or both the US Armed Forces and the La Résistance as they try to defend their homeland. The background of the invasion usually varies on when the work is set. If it is set pre-1990, it is usually a Cold War that got hot or some other form of Alternate History, such as Nazi Germany and/or Imperial Japan carving an isolationist America up once they've finished conquering the rest of the world. 20 Minutes into the Future will sometimes depict a (dystopian) USA that is no longer a Super-Power but merely a Great (e.g. as it was in 1900) or Second-Rate (e.g. as in 1850) or Third-rate (e.g. 1812) Power that would genuinely be threatened by an invasion from a rival power. Next Sunday A.D. settings will usually be very similar to the Twenty Minutes setting, usually featuring a Russian or Chinese invasion. The US's nuclear arsenal almost never gets employed during these stories, despite the fact it'd be a deterrent as per the whole 'MAD' thing, though its non-use is often hand-waved away by the proliferation of some new technology and/or magic — or by the governments simply going "better to try reclaiming what's ours than doom the whole world". Some works give a handwave towards Mexico becoming unfriendly in the years leading up to the war, so that it can be plausibly used as a base for an invasion (the most common example is a Communist Mexico allied with the Soviet Union). If done right, can make for an interesting plot. However, can also be Anvilicious if it is too blatant a rip-off of any real-life war, especially one in which the US was actually involved. It's also rare for the actual logistics of such an invasion to even be described, because it's hard to do so realistically. The United States' geographical isolation from every other major military power means an invasion would be very difficult, but since the logistics aren't really the point of these stories that usually gets handwaved if not outright ignored. See also Mexico Called; They Want Texas Back and Russia Called; They Want Alaska Back for more specific examples of this trope. Contrast with War Comes Home, which may be more generic and do not focus on actual real locations. Divided States of America / Second American Civil War sometimes goes hand-in-hand, as other nations come into the country to act as peacekeepers, to secure international interests, or to conquer the splintered US. Goes hand-in-hand with Occupiers Out of Our Country, Fallen States of America and Day of the Jackboot. May or may not involve a Washington D.C. Invasion. If the bad guys have invaded all the rest of world and left America for last, only to be defeated there, then America Saves the Day. Sub-Trope of Different States of America and Possible War. Note that the trope only counts for human invasions on US soil, not alien invasions. (And not that kind of "alien invasion" either.) |

Homefront: The basic plot of the game is the United States under occupation by a resurgent North Korea. Homefront: The Revolution: The US is occupied by a ultra neo-liberal North Korea, who in this timeline became the world's number one technological super power and high-end arms supplier, leading to most of the first-world depending on their technology and weaponry. After the US government is unable to pay a huge debt to the North Korean Government (who is controlled by the APEX Corporation), they decide to turn off the entire American military with a kill-switch and later occupying the nation under the pretext of giving aid to the American population and restoring order but secretly using them for slave labor to "cover the debt". |

Battlefield series: The Armored Fury booster pack for Battlefield 2 depicts maps set in Alaska and Pennsylvania as US forces defended their homeland against Chinese and Middle Eastern Collation Forces. Bad Company 2 has several multiplayer maps set in Alaska, and the ending depicts Russian forces advancing on the northern border of the US. Averted in Battlefield 3, as the levels that take place in New York are about stopping a terrorist attack, not an invasion. | |

Ãœber: Invasion features an invasion of the continental United States by an army of Nazi super soldiers. They proceed to rampage across the country in scorched earth tactics and destroy numerous cities, including New York City and Washington D.C., while the Americans attempt to stall them while building their own super soldiers. Then the Japanese attack with their own super soldier on the West Coast in a more haphazard guerilla campaign. The invasion is finally halted when the Japanese turn their attention to the Soviet Union, and out of the two Nazi "Battleship" Ubers spearheading the campaign, one is killed, while the other defects, causing the rest of the Nazi invasion force to either surrender or commit suicide to prevent their capture. | |

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty: Set in an alternate 1950s in which the US stayed neutral in World War II and in which Churchill was killed in an accident prior to the war, causing Britain to fall to Germany, which in effect discourages the United States from ever entering the war, solidifying their stance as a neutral country. Eventually, however, the Nazis invade anyways. | |

Shattered Union: Despite the main conflict being the Second American Civil War, foreign parties also take interest, and participate directly, in the war itself. On the eastern side, the European Union sends peacekeeping forces to the Washington D.C. area to secure international interests and set up a provisional government after terrorists essentially decapitated the existing one via nuclear attack, but their presence is so unpopular that it almost immediately causes several regions to secede from the Union; after hostilities finally break out, the European Union decides to go ahead and just pacify the entire country. Meanwhile, on the western regions Russian Federation takes the opportunity to invade and annex Alaska while the rest of the country is busy fighting. | |

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has several levels set in Northern Virginia and D.C. The invaders are not the actual Soviet Union, since the game takes place long after the end of the Cold War, but the Ultranationalist party which has taken over Russia in the game's timeline is a pretty effective substitute. The third game has them fighting in New York City as well, before finally being pushed off US soil after their defeat there. Appropriately, the first mission set in the invaded U.S. is called Wolverines!, and the achievement for beating it on Veteran is Red Dawn. | |

Worldwar: US is just one of the many countries invaded by the Race. Traveling through the country becomes dangerous, supply lines are cut off, people are forced to make do with what they can scrounge. Some of the states end up in Race hands, but, by the end of the main series, the Race vacate the country as part of a peace settlement with the not-empires that manage to hold them off (e.g. US, USSR, Nazi Germany, Japan, UK). Oh, and some cities are nuked by both sides. | |

They manage to get boots on the ground as well, in the form of his mercenary army; LA is successfully laid waste to, and they make it as far as New York City and DC before Menendez self-destructs the drones to leave America defenceless. | |

Took place in Fallout backstory just prior to the nuclear war, when the Chinese forces invaded Anchorage. It was eventually repulsed. The Fallout 3 Expansion Pack Operation Anchorage takes the player character through a VR simulation of the Anchorage Reclamation. Descendants from a beached Chinese submarine crew can be found around what is left of San Francisco. Ghoulified Chinese infiltrators can be found in a factory in Washington D.C. in 3. Point Lookout has a wrecked Chinese spy submarine as part of one of its sidequests. |

The ＬＯＣＡＬ５８ episode "Contingency" depicts the titular station accidentally airing a Cold War-era newsreel that was prepared in case this fate befell the country, warning that the US has just fallen to an invading power (implied to be the Soviet Union) and urging that the nation's citizens commit mass suicide, deeming it preferable to living under occupation. | |

Command & Conquer: Red Alert Series: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 has an ostensibly puppet Soviet government invade the United States with the aid of psychic powers to neutralize the American nuclear arsenal. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is more global, but both the Imperial and Soviet campaigns feature invasions of the United States at some point: The Japanese invade LA so the Emperor can broadcast propaganda to remove the U.S. from the war, the Soviets destroy the Statue of Liberty. Going after President Ackerman at Mt. Rushmore in the Allied campaign after he goes rogue may or may not count. And inverted with the Allied attack on Pearl Harbor... since Hawaii belongs to Japan in this timeline. The Challenge missions have some Soviet and Imperial missions set in the US, notably the one with giant bears on the east coast and the Psionic Decimator on the west. |

Sliders: The second episode featured a Soviet-occupied USA. Another episode showed a California that's part of Mexico, after the US lost the Mexican-American War. Somewhat unusually, the Mexican west is implied to be a prosperous and functional society, whose main flaw is their discrimination against illegal immigrants from Canada. One episode features a world where the US lost the Revolution and never existed, so the country is all part of England. Yet another episode briefly features a French-controlled USA. In this reality, Napoleon won over in Europe, never sold Louisiana to the US, and eventually conquered the rest of America. |

Six String Samurai. Soviet army remnants show up on the path to Vegas. They aren't in particularly good shape (they ran out of bullets some four decades before the movie takes place), but then no-one else is either. | |

Shadowrun. After the U.S. was split up into the Divided States of America, Aztlan (formerly known as Mexico) invaded both the southern part of California Free State and the Confederated American States, though they were able to minimize the territorial losses. California was also briefly under the control of a rogue Japanese general. | |

The Freedom City setting for Mutants & Masterminds includes the "Erde" setting where the Axis powers won World War II and used a combination of brain-powered war machines, nuclear weapons, and mystic cataclysms to shatter the backbone of the U.S. resistance. The Time of Crisis adventure involves the heroes helping La Résistance to neutralize the war machines in the process of fighting a cosmic threat. | |

Call of Duty: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has several levels set in Northern Virginia and D.C. The invaders are not the actual Soviet Union, since the game takes place long after the end of the Cold War, but the Ultranationalist party which has taken over Russia in the game's timeline is a pretty effective substitute. The third game has them fighting in New York City as well, before finally being pushed off US soil after their defeat there. Appropriately, the first mission set in the invaded U.S. is called Wolverines!, and the achievement for beating it on Veteran is Red Dawn. Call of Duty: Black Ops II plays with this— the US is invaded...by its own unmanned combat drones, which have been hacked to serve terrorist leader Raul Menendez's bidding. They manage to get boots on the ground as well, in the form of his mercenary army; LA is successfully laid waste to, and they make it as far as New York City and DC before Menendez self-destructs the drones to leave America defenceless. This is also part of the plot for Call of Duty: Ghosts: The bad guys (in this case a league of hostile South American governments) have hijacked an American superweapon system that is turned on the US, devastating the country and leaving it ripe to a conventional invasion. |

Deus Ex: Never actually seen in-game, but background information, along with some side info that you may or may not run into mention the Russian-Mexican War, in which they attempted to take back territories captured in the Mexican-American War. By the time the game starts, southern Texas is under Mexican control. | |

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is more global, but both the Imperial and Soviet campaigns feature invasions of the United States at some point: The Japanese invade LA so the Emperor can broadcast propaganda to remove the U.S. from the war, the Soviets destroy the Statue of Liberty. Going after President Ackerman at Mt. Rushmore in the Allied campaign after he goes rogue may or may not count. And inverted with the Allied attack on Pearl Harbor... since Hawaii belongs to Japan in this timeline. The Challenge missions have some Soviet and Imperial missions set in the US, notably the one with giant bears on the east coast and the Psionic Decimator on the west. |

As the storm clouds gathered over Europe and the Far East, Pulp Magazine hero Secret Service Operator #5 (1934 - 1939) fought attempts by various foreign armies from South America, Europe and the Orient to conquer the United States. The events are completely over-the-top as befits the pulp genre, except for the time the Japs destroy an entire city (Philadelphia) with their evil atomic bomb. Only Orientals would do such a dastardly deed... | |

Axis & Allies is a World War II simulation. Invading the US is possible but pretty unlikely (it's usually easier for the Axis to get the two-capitals win condition by taking out Britain and the Soviet Union). | |

The miniseries Amerika shows a Soviet-occupied US ten years after the invasion. Subverted though in that the US surrendered without much of a fight after an EMP pulse took out most communications. Most Americans are more interested in getting on with life than resisting. Amerika was a work that was developed as an apology to conservatives, particularly the Reagan Administration, in response to The Day After. The latter showed how terrible a nuclear war would be for the (many) survivors; the former argued how a Soviet victory would also be unacceptable. | |

The New Order Last Days Of Europe: Mutually Assured Destruction normally keeps even the hateful nations of this timeline from actually trying this. Normally. If Goering succeeds during the German Civil War, however, he takes to the idea of Forever War (since the Reich's glory days were in war) and needs to implement one war plan after the other to keep himself from being couped by militarists even more insane than he is... and near the end of his options, he can implement Fall Rockwell, which is a massive naval invasion of the USA. Unsurprisingly, this ends either one of two ways: With the Germanic fleet carpeting the Pacific seafloor in steel and corpses, or in thermonuclear war and the end of the world. | |

World in Conflict: Set during an alternate 1980s, in which the USSR launched an invasion of the US instead of collapsing as in Real Life. The main battles of the war are occurring in Western Europe and the invasion force that lands in Seattle is just there to keep the USA from reinforcing its NATO allies. The backstory also explains that the Soviets previously attempted to invade New York, but the assault was repulsednote One level involves defeating said attempt, and shows that it was closer to a commando raid than an actual invasion attempt. No one expected an attack from the other direction. | |

Somewhat obviously, Invasion U.S.A. (1952) (full blown Communist offensive) and to a lesser extent Invasion U.S.A. (1985) (infiltration by a Soviet-funded terrorist force that goes on an indiscriminate killing spree and disrupts the holidays). | |

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number: In the game's Alternate History version of the late 80's/early 90's, the Cold War went hot, and several members of the Ensemble Cast fought against Soviet troops in Hawaii, which makes up some of the playable missions. The U.S. capitulated in the war after the Soviets nuked San Francisco. | |
