American Dollar

(n.) The currency of the United States and its' dependancies. Has been steadily increasing in power since first inception. In the mid 20th century it was approx Â£1= $4 as the united states became the superpower of the post-war era. The dollar peaked at Â£1= $.65, and is slowly dropping in value as the US begins its' economic descent, paving the way for another superpower; without a steadfast empire, no country or region can remain the superpower(s) of the world for long. Within a century of losing the empire, country will slide down the power league. This has been seen in Britain and France, and before that, the spark-empire of Spain, which was later sold cheaply to the US. This empire lasted only a short amount of time, and caused some degree of embarrassment when lost.

The american dollar will have a residual value once the US loses its' grip of around $2.5-3.5 to the sterling.

double-cross commitee

In 1939, Germany sent many sabateurs to British shores, all of whom were well prepared for, and captured in hours. They were then presented with a simple choice; execution, or counter-espionage.

It didn't take long for them to choose counter-espionage. They were sent to the aptly named double-cross commitee, who used them to gain information on the whereabouts of troops, while giving them useless information that Germany would recieve some days too late.

This commitee was never discovered or sspected by the Nazi espionage units, and many double-agents were receiving medals for thier work right up until the end of the war, when it was discovered by the surrendered German forces that thier celebrated agents had been working for Churchill, not Adolf Hitler

The double-cross commitee was the most successful espionage and counter-espionage operation of the 20th century.
