Editing Cocacolonization (section)

=== World War II ===
When war broke out and American troops were sent overseas, the Coca-Cola company vowed that any American in uniform should be able to get a Coke for five cents wherever they were.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Coke and the U.S. troops|url = http://www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/2008/11/coke-and-the-us/|website = The Coca-Cola Company|access-date = 2015-12-09|archive-date = 2018-03-31|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180331060717/http://www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/2008/11/coke-and-the-us|url-status = dead}}</ref> As a result, the company built bottling stations in the [[Pacific War|Pacific]] and on the [[Western Front (World War II)|Western front]].

[[Nazis]] recognized Coke to be a "Jewish-American" drink. In response, the regime only allowed Coke in the country if it displayed a [[swastika]] on the bottle, which it did.<ref name=":0" /> In the [[Soviet Union]], war hero Marshal [[Georgy Zhukov|Georgi Zhukov]] loved the drink, but Soviet leader [[Joseph Stalin]] viewed it as a symbol of [[American imperialism]] and forbade its consumption. As a solution, Coca-Cola developed [[White Coke|a clear version of the drink]] bottled with a white cap and red star as a disguise to allow Zhukov to consume Cola without suspicion.<ref name=":0" />

On the Pacific front of the war, Coke had a tough time reaching the troops. To address the issue, the company created portable soda fountains that were distributed throughout the islands on the [[Pacific Ocean]].<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|title = On the Front Lines with Coca Cola Pt II|url = http://envisioningtheamericandream.com/2013/05/30/on-the-front-lines-with-coca-cola-pt-ii/|website = Envisioning The American Dream|access-date = 2015-12-09|date = 2013-05-30}}</ref> Asian countries experienced Coca-Cola. According to the company, the drink spread throughout the islands because, "Coke symbolized the American way of life."<ref name=":4" />

Throughout the war, Coke dispersed ads for their soda all over the world. The majority of the ads displayed an American soldier drinking a soda with the natives of that country.<ref name=":4" /> If the ad was in a country outside of the United States, it was written in the native language of that country. Popular ads had positive images of Americans with Coke in [[New Zealand]], Russia, the [[Philippines]], [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]], [[Italy]], [[England]], and in [[Poland]].<ref name=":4" /> According to Coca-Cola, "From the jungles of the Admiral Islands to the officer clubs in the [[Italian Riviera|Riviera]]," Coke and America was there.<ref name=":4" />
