(Apocalypse: War of Worlds 1: The World Trembles) Historie The story of this fantastic period of history between 1945 and 1991, which was defined by the confrontation of two worlds and two systems. The capitalist West, dominated by the ever-powerful United States, is pitted against the Communist East, the Soviet Empire. Both sides possess the ultimate weapon, the Nuclear Bomb, which neither can use, at the risk of causing their own peril. This terrifying balance of fear paradoxically ensures a half-century of peace and prosperity in the West. There are many heated moments during this "Cold War ", and Asia is the chosen place for these "localized" wars in which the Superpowers confront each other through other populations engaged in merciless battles. This brought us to make a series that will be as colorful as it is violent, and which will explore the key wars and interludes of peace and progress. September 1950. On the banks at Incheon, 30 miles from Seoul, General MacArthur is victorious. The landing he planned, to rescue his men stuck in Pusan, was a success. But the war isnt over. In the North, the Americans will have to face an unexpected enemy. On the other side of the frozen Yalu river, Mao, covert as always, has stationed 300,000 of his men. On Thanksgiving Day, the Chinese and North Koreans attack the US army, whose only choice is to fall back. Faced with his armys defeat and Chinese intervention, Truman considers the atomic bomb? Further south, in Indochina, the French are also suffering setbacks. An ambush by the Vietminh on the RC4 road wipes them out. As a last resort, the French government dispatches one of its most renowned generals, Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, to turn the situation around. The French are victorious at Vinh Yen, but with heavy casualties. The similarities between Korea and Indochina are striking - same covert players, same frightened civilians, same regions destroyed by bombs, same rows of starving prisoners? De Lattre believes both wars to be one and the same; a war for freedom and against Communism. And the real enemy is Stalin, who sends arms and MIG-15 planes to the North Koreans, and prances around in front of his people with his super fighter plane that can transport his brand-new atomic bomb. Will Stalin conquer the world? MN 18 (France)
