The United States has historically faced accusations of arrogance, beginning during the Vietnam War,[6] and was first described as "the Capital of Global Arrogance" by Iranian students.[7] The term has also been used by French, Germans, Japanese, Indonesians, Indians, and Russians.[3][4] Iran continues to celebrate the anniversary of the 1979 capture of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran as a "National Day of Campaign against Global arrogance".[8][9]
