For those who have seen the 1984 movie Red Dawn but need a reminder I am talking about this part of the film in which a Russian soldier with terrible English reading skills misunderstands the founding of the Arapaho National Forest and tells his comrades that it was the sight of a peasent uprising!
Your challenge is to make a TL in which the events stated by this character occur as close as possible to what he states in the movie.
