* In Creator/MichaelMoorcock's "Eternal Champion" story, the Eldren, under their military commander [[spoiler:former human Champion Ekrose]] perform a KillEmAll on every human on Earth within a very short (unspecified) span of time. Justified as the Eldren have ray guns, and the humans have classic middle ages armor, swords, and so forth.

* ''Fanfic/{{Stargazer}}'' has the [[VideoGame/{{Destiny}} Cabal's]] invasion of [[Literature/InheritanceCycle Ceunon]]. A werecat who witnessed the battle firsthand claims that Ceunon officially surrendered within ''one hour'' of the siege while the Cabal took zero casualties. It then only takes a single day for the Cabal to stomp out any pockets of resistance and establish total control over every aspect of life in the city. Justified since Ceunon is a medieval castle town while the Cabal are an alien army with access to advanced technologies like {{power armor}}, {{hover tank}}s, and {{drop ship}}s.

* In ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings,'' the military use of dragons completely upends the existing military paradigms of the day. City walls become something that keep defenders from ''escaping'', as opposed to keeping dragon-riding attackers ''out''. Dragons make it so easy to conquer that Berk with a relatively small force conquered Vedrarfjord by accident when they only wanted to get rid of the king. When they do it on purpose, Harthacnut's reign over England and Denmark ended in short order.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' franchise has this problem with its wars in recent canon. Originally, the First War was preceded by ten years of border skirmishes with the orcs before it became an all-out war that lasted about five years. The lead up to the war was eventually [[RetCon retconned]] away, leaving a simple, five-year war. The gap between the first two wars used to be six years, before later being changed to just two, with the war itself only being about two years. The third war seems to have been retconned out entirely in favor of a single battle. It's almost as if more territory makes a war take ''less'' time in the Warcraft universe.

* ''WebVideo/WorldWarTwo'': The German 1940 invasion of Denmark is successful, with the Danes capitulating within six hours. The invasion of France in the same year sees German troops parading through the streets of Paris less than two months later, compared to more than four years of conflict with France in the UsefulNotes/FirstWorldWar.

* The prequel book of ''Literature/TheTripods'' indicates it only took a few weeks after the Trippies started passing out Caps for the world to end up with more Capped than Uncapped. Some pockets of fighting went on for a while, but it's obvious by the end of the prequel that the Capped are in control.

Downplayed by the fact that while the actual fighting takes a relatively short time, the invaders had clearly been [[TheInfiltration quietly laying the groundwork]] for a considerable amount of time before the first shot was fired.

Of course, given the grand scale of the game[[note]]Toomin's side started on a moon of the other, both sides started at perhaps Neolithic technology, and some evolution occurred during the game[[note]], this might not be saying much.

* In the ''Literature/DrakeMaijstral'' series, the alien race called the Khosali showed up and surrounded Earth with a hundred thousand warships at a time when the Earth had only a handful of ''interplanetary'' ships. A few hundred Earthlings on military stations put up some token resistance, but they were quickly defeated, and Earth had no choice but to surrender completely.
