The "Sleeping Giant" is a myth found in various cultures, often symbolizing a powerful force that lies dormant. In many stories, this giant represents a nation or group that, when awakened, can bring about significant change or upheaval. The imagery of a giant sleeping suggests potential energy and strength that is yet to be unleashed. One well-known example of the Sleeping Giant myth is associated with the United States during World War II. The phrase became popular after the attack on Pearl Harbor, indicating that the U.S. had the capacity to mobilize and respond forcefully, despite appearing passive before the conflict.
