Events

Event	Date	Description
Operation Paperclip		A transfer of top German scientists to USA.
Cold War		The official narrative had 2 diametrically opposed systems locked in combat with one another since soon after WW2.

Deep state interests blossomed in the climate of fear and paranoia.
The Troubles		The sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland which flared into serious sustained violence through the summer of 1969
Operation Condor		US-backed campaign of assassination and terrorisation carried out in South America.
