  Invasion literature is a literary genre most notable between 1871 and 1914 (beginning of the World War I). The start of this movement was in Britain with the publication of the short story "<em>The Battle of Dorking"  </em>on 1871; it was a fictional account of an invasion of England by Germany. This started a literary craze for tales that stire up imaginations and anxieties about hypothetical invasions of foreing powers, this was a common sensation in the population of around the world during those days. By 1914 this genre had most than 400 boks published. Many of the authors were military officers or experts that thought that the nation would be saved in the case of an invasion if their particulary vision was adopted by the majority of the population.

  Before the publication of <em>"The Battle of Dorking" </em>there was some invasion stories specailly after the development of the hot-air baloon by the French. The poems and plays centered on an army of hot-air ballons invading England. However this was attached to minor audience of readers it was not untill the Prussian victory over the French in the 1870-war with advance technologies such as breech-loading aritllery that the fear of a foreign invasion became more realistic to the whole population.

  In the U.S the invasion literature reflected the fear of being invaded again by the British at the beggining but then moved forward to, with the start of the World War I, an invasion of the Germans. This stories create a feeling among the population that was well explode from the government to entered in the War.

  The cause that the invasion literature still relevant today I think is that it reflects the fears and anxieties of each period and imagined a possible future, this is striking to anyone and that is the reason.

  Hope this answer help you. Regards.

Write a story about a natural phenomena (130-150) Name the story.​
7nadin3 [17]

Deep beneath the ice of Antarctica, there lies a dark shape untouched by the eyes of man. No, it’s not an alien spaceship; it’s a subglacial lake first theorized by Russian scientists* and physically discovered in the 1990s. It’s the 4th or 6th largest lake in the world, depending on how you define what a lake is, and it’s completely covered by four kilometers of ice.

Because it’s in the middle of Antarctica – a place not known for balmy days – it’s impressive that the water is liquid at all. The most likely explanation is heat from geothermal vents, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about Vostok and other subglacial lakes.

What’s more, Vostok is very likely to contain life. We can’t say for certain yet, but the odds are getting better every day as scientists continue to look at the data. This would be an ecosystem completely cut off from the sun* for millions of years. It’s an environment not dissimilar to that of Europa. If life can exist in Vostok, why not on Jupiter’s frozen moon?

Story Uses

The potential for Vostok is as deep as the ice that covers it. As an ancient body of water hidden away from the eyes of humankind, it practically screams Lovecraftian Horror. Who knows what could be down there, waiting in the dark.

If eldritch monstrosities aren’t your thing, Vostok and other subglacial lakes could be the last viable sources of fresh water in a dystopian future.* The microbial life within it could hold the key to curing major diseases or, on the flip side, might cause entirely new ones.

There’s even a political aspect to explore. Right now, Russian scientists are using drilling methods that environmental groups say will contaminate the lake. The Russians deny it. Who wouldn’t want to read a story from the POV of a UN official who suddenly has to deal with a bunch of angry scientists?
