Answer: WWII

The Americans arrived in the village to find the Italians ready to surrender, but only after they had their wine festival that evening. The Americans agreed and everyone enjoyed an evening of drinking, dancing and romance.

Since their superiors now thought that the Americans were in hand-to-hand combat with the Italians, they had to start staging mock battles whenever planes flew over. By coincidence, the Germans also saw the "fighting" and sent troops in to help their allies.
