    There have been many wars throughout humanity that have been started because of false flags. Some of these wars have shaped the world into what it is today. False Flags have been around since the early 1500s when pirates would put a "false flag" or the flag of a merchant ships ally so the ship would come closer to the pirates and they could easily raid it. Most recently false flag attacks were used by Russia to justify their invasion of Ukraine. Leading up to the Ukraine invasion there have been tons of false flag attacks by countries trying to justify attacks, one of the most famous attacks occurred in 1939 which started WWII. 

    Germany in 1939 was attempting to expand their empire, but in order to justify their attacks they used false flag attacks to justify their invasion. Germany's invasion of Poland we all know started WWII and caused on of the greatest conflicts in human history. The night before the invasion of Poland, 7 Nazi soldiers dressed up as Polish troops and attacked the Gleiwitz Radio Tower. The tower was on Germany's side of the border and the soldiers sent a broadcast throughout the country that the Polish had taken control of the tower. The next day, Hitler presented a speech saying how it was an act of war, therefore justifying his invasion of Poland. After the invasion of Poland, WWII broke out across Europe and the world. 

    Another instance in which a false flag was used was actually used by the United States. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident was what started the Vietnam War for the United States. On August 5th, 1964 two unprovoked attacks by North Vietnam caused the US to be more militarily involved in Vietnam. After a second attack the US government believed that the North Vietnamese were targeting their vessels and decided to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution  this allowed the US and Johnson at the time to take all the measures they needed to repel the North Vietnamese and "further aggression."

    Following the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the US was involved in the Vietnam War for more than a decade, which killed millions of people. All of this resulted from a false flag attack. This isn't the first time this has happened for the US. Back in 1898 the US tried to rally support for a war against Spain when The Maine blew up. This was debunked later as a false flag attack as the US claimed that a Spanish torpedo off the coast of Cuba hit the Maine causing the death of over 300 Americans. 

    False Flag attacks continue to plague our world today as Russia and Ukraine use false flag attacks everyday and then report it to mainstream media which broadcasts it to the world. We will never truly know who or what is going on in that war because of what each side is telling their reporters. Each side wants to gain supporters to justify their side of the war. False Flag attacks have only continued to go up and with the world on the brink of nuclear war, it is only a matter of time until the next big false flag attack.
