I know this has happened before, but what I mean is US soil being invaded on the level of the Soviet Union in World War 2. Cities like New York City having 90% of their infrastructure destroyed, and being close to being completely conquered. Is this possible after the year 1900?

Okay, I ask this dark question because it clearly has influenced US foreign policy in ways that differentiate from its European relatives. Things like nationalized healthcare in countries like England came through emergency measures done in the war, that ended up being carried on afterwards after seeing the efficiency of them. It also makes these countries less trigger happy in regards to foreign policy.

On the other hand, all the wars the US has been involved in after 1900 never had any chance of coming onto US soil. Yes, World War 2 did get started with an attack on Hawaii, but enemy troops never landed US soil(no, I don't count the Phillipines, for they were a territory, not a state.)

I also ask out of alternate history potential. Is it impossible without the intervention of Alien Space Bats?
