I don't know if you've ever watched the Stargate TV-series. The premise of that show is basically a US military with 2000-era technology defeating a galaxy spanning alien empire by essentially spreading freedom and democracy.

Yeah, I know it sounds bad when I put it like that, but the show is actually pretty awesome.

@PiSigma They are 10-15 minute long shorts, I am only up to Episode 3 after that Pay walled. Still kinda like Indiana Jones meets Stargate. Complete with Nazi's not really comparable to the series.

Tbh I don't think SGC defeated the Goa'uld by spreading freedom and democracy, more like they managed to defeat them through a combination of massive amounts of reverse engineering of alien technology and alliance building and even larger doses of strategic and tactical Goa'uld incompetence and arrogance.

A Feudal army with blasters that should be able to do far more yet are limited by there creators who are more worried about being pampered and internal security.
They faced off against small units who focused on stealth, accuracy and maneuver.

But we have Digressed.

A few years ago I read that a movie was in development where aliens use something like a EM weapon to knock out all advanced technology on Earth so the US resorts to pulling WWII weapons out of mothballs to fight the aliens. Haven't heard anything since so probably cancelled.

From what I remember, they won the war against the Goa'uld by filming Apophis' death and broadcasting it to all the Jaffa. It very much reminded me of the execution of Saddam Hussein.

The Goa'uld were a space power. Their planets did not matter except as a source of slaves and ego-boosting. Apophis took two measly ships to attack Earth when lesser system lords had access to dozens. RDA destroyed one ship by dropping frag grenades into one ship's core.

TLDR, Goa'uld jobbed and the laws of physics worked the way the writers wanted it to.
