What are the well-planned, long-lasting and very powerful scams in history?

Well-planned battles, including the American Star Wars plan, took place during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. At that time, countries all over the world were divided into capitalist camp and oriental group, and the two sides had a protracted confrontation in economic, political and military aspects. In the 1980 s, the United States put forward a strategic defense initiative, that is, the Star Wars Plan.

After that, the United States and the Soviet Union began a more intense arms race, which led to the Soviet Union's attention to armaments. The already deformed Soviet economic constitution is even more deformed. Putting all one's energy into heavy industry and armaments will inevitably lead to all-round economic development, which will lead to the rigidity of the Soviet economic system and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. However, it is said that the Star Wars plan was just a scam, but it also brought down the Soviet Union, ended the pattern of bipolar confrontation, and made the United States go further and further on the road of great powers.

A very powerful scam is the choice of landing site in Normandy. There were two suitable landing sites, Normandy and Calais. Calais is the best place to land. The distance is close and the terrain is gentle. The Allies chose to land in Normandy, but Hitler, who was suspicious by nature, believed that the Allies had landed in Calais. He even used the dead room to try his best to let Hitler's spies planted in the Allies get the documents, and found a soldier to pretend to be a general and put the evidence in his pocket.

Convince Hitler that he will land in Calais and transfer the Germans to Calais. Even when he landed in Normandy, Hitler still thought that the Allies were just bluffing in Normandy, which angered his generals. The allied forces feinted in Normandy, targeting Calais. This scam is undoubtedly a very successful scam. It was the second battlefield successfully opened by the allied forces and joined the pace of victory in World War II.
