Operation Landgrab

Operation Landgrab was an aggressive strategy employed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, primarily in the late 1950s and 1960s, to expand its influence and control over strategically important regions and resources. It involved military interventions, political maneuvers, and support for sympathetic governments or insurgent groups in various countries. The goal was to assert dominance in areas crucial for geopolitical strategy, often leading to tensions with Western nations. This operation illustrated the broader struggle between the U.S. and the USSR for global power during a time of ideological conflict.
