In 1942, the tiny Japanese protectorate of Mailand was maneuvered into participating in an unsuccessful, unconventional attack on the United States.
History
In 1942, the tiny, Japanese-controlled nation of Mailand was made into a scapegoat for an infamous deed. In Washington, D.C. Mailandese diplomats presented to the U.S. a hollowed-out statue of the famous "Minute Man" figure. That night a swarm of miniature Japanese soldiers and aircraft and tanks sneaked out of the statue, and attacked some American military offices. While tiny, the invading force was armed with very advanced weapons, which killed instantly, reducing their human targets to fleshless skeletons in seconds. After a great deal of fighting, American forces were able to wipe out the attackers. The role of Mailand in this debacle was diplomatically resolved, and the matter has never been referred to since that time.
