Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope Description''': A ridiculously easy-made conquest by an invading military force.

* '''Straight''': TheEmpire of Editora invades TheRepublic of Troperia and conquers the whole country in a single night.
* '''Exaggerated''': TheEmpire of Editora in fact just needs a second to conquer the whole Republic of Troperia.
* '''Downplayed''': Some border provinces of Troperia are conquered in a span of some hours, but then the progress stalls when the Troperians really start fighting back.
* '''Justified''':
** TheEmpire are SufficientlyAdvancedAliens.
** TheEmpire happens to have magical means for camouflage.
* '''Inverted''': LaResistance needs only a single night to win the whole original area of Troperia back [[OccupiersOutOfOurCountry from its occupiers]].
* '''Subverted''': Bob, who fled from the occupied territory, explains that it was overrun and conquered in a single night. His friend Alan corrects him and says that the fighting lasted two weeks.
* '''Double Subverted''': But the two weeks were just TheEmpire fighting TheRemnant of Troperia along the borders of the now-occupied territory.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfDrama
* '''Zigzagged''': Some conquests are really fast, others not.
* '''Averted''': The Editoran invasion is lengthy and sees immediate resistance.
* '''Parodied''': Alice goes to bed in Troperia and wakes up in Editora, with foreign flags all over her hometown and soldiers gawking at her like at an animal in the zoo.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Conquest in a single night? That works?"
* '''Discussed''': "They took Troperia in a single night!" "In a single week, you mean." "No, in a single night..."
* '''Conversed''': "That must be EasyLogistics."
