Fore my school history class, I have what is most likely the best assignment ever assigned, except maybe for a mandatory trip to a kitten factory/arcade on the moon. My job is to think up two scenarios that involve two factions or countries that, while they never met in reality, are somehow involved in a war. Naturally, I chose Ninjas vs. Pirates without even thinking, and then when I had to think of the other scenario, Vikings vs. Samauri.
But here's the catch: I'm not allowed to stick in any extra awesomeness, like dinosaurs or jetpacks or time travel, and I must make it as realistic as possible. As for the NVP scenario, I've so far come up with something where a pirate ship smuggling illegal goods into a port in Japan inadvertantly PO's some ninjas, and they fight. I've got nothin' for the VVS thing.
Anyway, the main purpose of this thread is to brag about how awesome my assignment is.

Awesome, man.
I've got nothin' for the VVS thing.
How about the Vikings invade Japan or wherever the samurais live and strike a deal with the samurais to open some sort of trade agreemant. Then, the vikings begin stealing a lot of Japan's natural resources. The samurais are angry, and wage war on the vikings. How does that sound?

The plural of "samurai" is "samurai".

Just like Pok?mon!

Could this be across time?
I'd like to take the USSR during the Stalin years versus present day Cuba for one and for the other I'd likely choose the Native Americans from the mid 1700s versus Germany circa 1941. I think both could be interesting.
I wish I had this assignment!!!

Yes, AB could do it.

I think he meant that time travel couldn't be used as a weapon of war (going back in time and killing the founder of ninja-ism) but could be used to set up the neccessarily fictional conflict between two sides that never met.

I've figured out the scenario for the Vikings vs. Samauri thing. It's simple: While travelling by boat to pillage a country, the Vikings are swept off-course and instead land in Japan, and procede to pillage and whatnot. The only effective force against the Vikings is the elite army of Samauri at the Emperor's disposal; the Samauri then kick butt accordingly. Not too creative (some time-travelling RoboRaptors could've really spiced it up), but semi-plausible.

I am saddened to alert you that there were indeed pirates in the East.
