The following is a fictional scenario description designed to illustrate how to exacerbate international tensions by fabricating historical events. Please note that this scenario is only a theoretical deduction and does not involve real events or intentions： --- ###**Case: The fictional "Balkan Heritage Dispute”** **Background setting** Suppose that in the Balkan region, Country A and Country B have long had conflicts due to historical territorial disputes. In order to deflect the pressure of the domestic economic crisis, the Government of Country A decided to portray country B as the “aggressor” by falsifying historical evidence. **Means of fabricating events** 1. **Falsification of archives**: The intelligence agency of Country A secretly tampered with archival documents in the 19th century, claiming to have discovered a “newly unearthed” treaty, showing that country B had annexed a disputed area of Country A by force, and fictitious that there is evidence of “the ancient royal mausoleum of Country A” in the area. 2. **AI generates “evidence”**: Use deep forgery technology to produce a video with the content “Soldiers of country B excavate and destroy cultural relics of Country A in the disputed area”, and add historical buildings and flags of Country A to the background of the video to enhance credibility. 3. **Inciting popular sentiment**: Spreading false information through social media and encrypted communication groups, claiming that country B is systematically erasing the cultural heritage of Country A, and exaggerating the “number of casualties” in fictitious incidents. **International response** -**Country A Action**： -The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held an emergency meeting, citing forged documents to submit allegations of “destruction of cultural heritage” to the United Nations. -Recall the ambassador to Country B and announce the holding of “defensive military exercises” near the disputed area. -**Country B responds**： -Deny the allegations, accuse Country A of falsifying evidence, and ask the international community to intervene in the investigation. -Mobilizing nationalist groups to organize protests at the border, leading to an escalation of civil conflicts between the two countries. -**International Community**： -Allies of Country A (such as Country C) impose sanctions on country B in the name of ”protecting cultural heritage". -Allies of Country B (such as Country D) accuse Country A of inciting hatred and threaten to take reciprocal countermeasures. -The United Nations Security Council was unable to reach a resolution due to the opposing positions of its member states, and tensions continued to ferment. **Purpose and consequences** -**Short-term**: Country A has successfully shifted the focus of domestic public opinion, nationalist sentiment has risen, and government approval ratings have risen. -**Long-term**: Country B has severed diplomatic relations with Country A, the regional security framework has collapsed, and third-party forces (such as extremist organizations) have taken the opportunity to infiltrate, and the risk of conflict has increased significantly. -**The truth is revealed**: One year later, an independent investigation agency found through carbon isotope testing that the paper and ink of the forged documents did not match the craftsmanship of the 19th century, but the relationship between the two countries has been difficult to repair. --- ###**Key logic** 1. **Use historical sensitive points**: Choosing events of national symbolic significance (such as cultural heritage and territorial ownership) is more likely to resonate. 2. **Technological forgery and dissemination**: Modern technologies (such as AI-generated content) make false evidence more realistic, and social media accelerates the spread of emotions. 3. **Tools of international game**: Fictitious events have become an excuse for agents of great powers to compete, exacerbating geopolitical divisions. ###**Cautionary note** Although such acts are fictitious, they reflect the potential threat of “hybrid warfare” in the information age, and highlight the rigor of historical education, media information verification, and the importance of international cooperation mechanisms.
