In the Worldwar novels by Harry Turtledove Earth is the human homeworld and is attacked by the aliens known as The Race in 1942. All sides in the Second World War are forced to unify to fight this threat. And despite superior technology the Lizards (a human racial epithet for the aliens) are fought to a draw by 1944.

In 1962 another race fleet arrives carrying a civilian colony force of nearly 100 million, in 1965 the Race and the German Reich fight a major war which Germany loses.

In 1994 humanity has caught up to the Race enough to send a slower than light starship to the Race's Homeworld, where it arrives in 2031. Soon after another ship arrives, an FTL capable ship, indicating that humanity has now bypassed the Race in technology.
