Scottish Conflict (Napoleon's World)

The Scottish Conflict was a thirty-six day military engagement in June and July of 1997, between the Republic of Scotland and a joint American and English force. The conflict's roots were in the growing distance between the Scottish military dictatorship of Sean Connery, who had been in power since 1976, and the Americans and to an even greater extent the English due to diplomatic tensions in the early and mid 1990's. Edinburgh was captured only nine days into the conflict and the country was secured after thirty-six days of fighting. About 1,500 Scottish soldiers were killed in action alongside 5,000 wounded, and about 500 American troops and 350 English soldiers were killed against about a thousand wounded apiece. It was the first successful and major military operation conducted by the United States since the Brazilian War, and the first major foreign military campaign conducted by the Republic of England since before the Anarchy.
