The War on Independence is an ongoing international military campaign led by the United Kingdom and France with the support of other WETO and non-WETO countries. The campaign was launched in 2001 with the joint British-French invasion of Turkey, for the Turkish government was giving rebels in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan guns and money to fight the British. Great Britain invaded Mexico in 2003, but this was not under the umbrella of "war on independence." Meanwhile, Britain continues to fight nationalist uprisings in the Middle East and Canada. Originally, it was waged against WIU (World Independence Union) and other nationalist organizations with the purpose of gaining independence.
