The World Timeline 1914-1991

The Weltkrieg

1914

-While visiting Sarajevo on the 28th of June, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie are assassinated by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip. In reaction, Austria-Hungary sends an ultimatum to Serbia, whose contents are deliberately made unacceptable to the Serbs. Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia shortly after receiving German backing. Russia in turn declares war on Austria-Hungary and Germany. Germany, wanting to knock France out of the war before it can assist its Russian ally, declares war on France on August 3rd.

-When Germany invades neutral Belgium to execute the Schlieffen Plan, the British Empire declares war on Germany. The German advance to Paris is halted at the Marne and a series of flanking attempts, known as the Race to the Sea, prove unsuccessful. The war in the West grinds down to a halt.

-The Germans are much more successful in the East, repulsing the Russian invasion of East Prussia and defeating the Russians at the battles of the Mazurian Lakes and at Tannenberg. The architects of these victories, Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General Ludendorff, would play key roles in the final German victory.

-The Ottoman Empire joins the Central Powers in October, after a dispute with Britain about the confiscation of ships being built for the Empire.

-Almost all German colonies are occupied before the end of the year, besides German East-Africa. Here Colonel von Lettow-Vorbeck will play a game of cat and mouse with the Allied forces until the end of the war.

1915

-In the West the lines remain static, but the fighting increases in brutality, with chlorine gas being first used during the Second Battle of Ypres on 22nd of April.

-In the East, Russia is being pushed back by the Germans, but manages to hold on to Galicia.

-Bulgaria joins the war on the side of the Central Powers, and Serbia becomes the first Allied nation to be defeated.

-Italy joins the war on the Allied side, hoping to claim Austro-Hungary's Tyrolian and Illyrian provinces. The campaign bogs down into trench warfare.

-In an ill conceived effort to knock the Ottomans out of the war, Allied troops land near Gallipoli, hoping to gain control of the vital Dardanelles. The whole campaign becomes a disaster and the Allies will pull back their forces before the year ends. A British invasion of Mesopotamia is repelled and the remaining troops retreat to Kut, where a disastrous siege will start.

-A German submarine sinks the Lusitania. A severe backlash in the United States leads to Germany abandoning its unrestricted submarine warfare, which had hoped to strangle Britain into submission. Many speculated that a continuation of the unrestricted submarine warfare could have led to the entry of the United States into the war.

1916

-The Battle of Verdun starts, attempting to bleed the French Army dry. In reality, all sides bleed equally in a battle which soon loses its military objective. A similar attempt against the British forces at the Somme has the same outcome. 1916 also saw the first use of tanks at the Battle of the Somme.

-In the East, the Brusilov offensive is launched. While very successful at first, the offensive doesn't manage to either knock the Austro-Hungarians out of the war or drive Germany from Russian Poland.

-The British troops at Kut are forced to surrender, dealing a heavy blow to British prestige. The Ottomans are being pushed out of the Caucasus and Armenia by a successful Russian campaign. The Sharif of Mecca starts of a general Arab revolt against the Turks.

-At sea the First Battle of Jutland ends in a tactical German victory, but a strategic British victory, as the Hochseeflotte will remain in port until late 1918.

-Romania tries to profit from Austrian setbacks and invades Transylvania. German assistance would lead to a quick collapse of Romania, with Bucharest being taken by August von Mackensen within the year. Further south the Allies have taken positions around Salonika.

1917

-On January 8th, the Kaiser hears arguments from military leaders for reopening unrestricted submarine warfare, but ultimately decides against them. This is the point where the Kaiserreich universe diverges from our own.

-Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg is forced to resign and is replaced by Georg Michaelis. It is soon clear that Michaelis is little more than a puppet for Generals von Hindenburg and Ludendorff.

-On the Western Front, the heavy French casualties at Chemin des Dames lead to a strike among the French soldiers. This disaster discouraged the French high-command from continuing great offensives until the end of the year, giving Germany a chance to recover from the Brusilov Offensive.

-Russia collapses into anarchy, with the Tsar abdicating in March 1917 (O.S. February). A provisional government is formed under Alexander Kerensky, but this government was overthrown by Lenin's Bolsheviks in November (O.S. October), starting the Russian Civil War.

-In Italy the Caporetto Offensive beats the Italians back to the Piave river, where only a last minute defense saves Venice from occupation.

-The Ottomans receive blow after blow, with both Baghdad and Jerusalem being lost to British forces.

-A British submarine mistakenly torpedoes an American freighter carrying Christmas gifts to Germany, killing several US citizens. The public backlash forces a partial opening of the blockade, averting the looming spectre of famine in Central Europe.

1918

-In early March the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk is signed between the Germans and the Bolsheviks, freeing thousands of German and Austrian troops for other fronts. The Bolsheviks cede Finland, the Baltic states, Congress Poland, Belarus and Ukraine to the Germans.

-A great Allied spring offensive, designed at breaking the German lines before their reinforcements arrive, is repulsed at great cost of life.

-Operation Teutoberg is launched, attempting to kick Greece out of the war. Instead of assaulting the Salonika stronghold head on, the Central Powers make extensive use of specialized storm-troopers and so called "infiltration" tactics. The defenders at Salonika are pinned down while the rest of the German-Bulgarian forces sweep through Greece. Athens falls on July 3rd, causing the Greek government to surrender. The western forces at Salonika are evacuated soon afterwards.

-Anti-Bolshevik White Russian forces of the "Volunteer Army" under General Lavr Kornilov retreat south from Rostov across the frozen Kuban steppe from February to May. The famous "Ice March" campaign concludes with Kornilov narrowly escaping death from an artillery shell on his headquarters during the Battle of Yekaterinodar. The city's capture cements the Whites' control over the Kuban Cossack heartland.

-General Allenby manages to pull off the last great Allied victory of the war, encircling and destroying large parts of the Ottoman Army and conquering Damascus. Only the last minute arrival of two German divisions in Asia Minor prevent an invasion of Anatolia.

-Vladimir Lenin, the famous leader of the Russian Bolsheviks, is assassinated by Fanny Kaplan following the Bolsheviks' suppression of the Left SRs. Lev Kamenev quickly succeeds Lenin, but Bolshevik spirits are seriously shaken.

-Successful Allied tactics against Germany's U-boats and the blockade of Germany leads to a desperate sally of the Hochseeflotte, now led by Admiral Hipper. The Second Battle of Jutland ends in a tie, but the shock of being assaulted forces the Royal Navy to break their blockade. The total end of the blockade and the influx of Ukrainian grain ends all fears of Germany being starved into submission.

-Meanwhile, Kaiser Karl, under pressure by the continuingly crumbling homefront and continually swelling spirit of revolution, issues the "Völkermanifest", promising national self-determination within the Empire once the war is won, placating Austria's numerous ethnic minorities. Even though the manifesto did not pose any demands to Hungary, self-determination of a Croat state was agreed upon by both sides of the Dual Monarchy by the end of October, resulting in the Kingdom of Croatia achieving the same status as Hungary.

-After almost a month of negotiations between the anti-Bolshevik Constituent Assembly and Siberian governments, Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak reluctantly launches a British-backed coup to unite the fractious Whites. The situation is salvaged by the arrival of Boris Savinkov, who convinces Kolchak to accept many of the SR's demands, and limit his power to only supreme command over military affairs.

1919

-On March 2nd the Germans launch their Great Offensive at St. Mihiel, south of Verdun. Their infiltration tactics prove to be successful, with Nancy falling on the 16th. The French organize an ad hoc defense, leaving their flank exposed. An attack on Reims on the 26th splits the Allied forces in two. An attack on Château-Thierry meant the French couldn't retreat back to the Marne. In effect, the entire French army was forced to retreat south and Paris was placed under siege.

-Operation Radowitz is launched on the 11th of March, attacking the Italian forces from Trento instead of the Piave. Vicenza and Verona fall on the 24th, pinning the Italians between two Central armies after Venice was reached on the 10th of April. The Siege of Venice would last until July, but with most of the Italian army occupied the rest of Italy lay defenseless, with Rome falling on August 1st. Italy would surrender a few days later. The surrender of Italy meant the road to Southern France was now open, with Marseilles falling in September.

-As Italy collapsed, Empress Zewditu of Ethiopia and Sayyid al-Hasan of the Dervish State declared war, retaking Italy's colonies and reversing a European colonization of Africa for the first time.

-Allied setbacks would lead to Allenby, and most of his troops, being redeployed to France. Allenby's successor, Sir William Marshall, is forced to slowly retreat because of a lack of manpower.

-The retreat of the French Army leads to the positions of the BEF becoming indefensible. Most of the British forces are evacuated at Dieppe in June, leaving the French on their own. At this point the French Army, battered, war-weary and with little hope of victory was in open rebellion. With a second mutiny, a general uprising of the working classes imminent, the fall of Paris a certainty and Marseilles in German hands, the French government capitulated on the 4th of October, ending the war in Europe. One month later, the Central Powers and the remaining Allied Powers signed a ceasefire in Copenhagen.

-The Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT), led by anarcho-syndicalist Emile Pouget, declares a general strike in reaction to the bloody defeat of the French army during the German Great Offensive and the second mutiny. Its main aim was an immediate end to the war. After the fall of Paris, the government of Georges Clemenceau was replaced by a Provisional Government under Aristide Briand.

-The Southern White Russians begin their "Volga Campaign" with the capture of the city of Tsaritsyn. Led by General Pyotr Wrangel, the Whites swiftly seize Saratov, but are halted at Samara by Leon Trotsky. It takes until July for a Siberian White counter-offensive to force Trotsky to withdraw and surrender Samara, ultimately uniting the two largest White fronts.

-In the Baltics, the White Russian Northwestern Army under General Nikolai Yudenich launches its offensive towards Red Petrograd. The outnumbered Reds are quickly forced to withdraw to Petrograd itself, and the Whites (with White Ruthenian and Baltic support) place the city under siege.

-The Southern and Siberian Whites meet in the recaptured city of Ufa to negotiate a union of their governments. It is ultimately decided that Alexander Kolchak will remain supreme military commander of all White Russian forces, with Sergey Sazonov acting as prime minister. Most importantly, however, the Siberian Whites agree to follow the example of the Southern Whites, and cut ties with the Entente. Petrograd falls shortly afterwards to Yudenich's troops, and he presents the city as a gift upon also ratifying his support for the new, unified Provisional All-Russian Government.

-Jacobin radicals, inspired by their Russian brethren and Leninist theories about a revolutionary vanguard start a series of attacks on government officials and public buildings, ending the chance of the CGT and Provisional Government of reaching any agreement. An attempt of the government to use demobilized soldiers to restore order ends in many soldiers joining the revolutionaries. France in engulfed in a short but bloody war, ending in a victory for the revolutionaries. Emile Pouget starts with the difficult task of changing the French Republic into the Commune of France.

-The remains of the French establishment flee to Algiers, setting up a government-in-exile, led by Marshal Ferdinand Foch.

-Mere hours after the announcement of this nation-ending 'peace', the Republic of Italy was proclaimed in Milan by incensed nationalists. All treaties signed by the House of Savoy where to be considered null and void. The competing Socialist Republic of Italy, modeled after France's syndicalist revolution, was proclaimed less than a week later in Torino, and thus the Italian Civil War begun

-Blurry battle lines were drawn in the space between Veneto and Lazio, where the Austrian garrisons were simply too strong for the fledgling Italian successor factions to confront at first. Soon, street brawls devolved into full scale battles; looting was widespread in the countryside as army regiments were quickly forced to take sides in the midst of a chaotic demobilization, often having to suppress their own beliefs in order to fight a peace both 'republics' saw as vile. The Italian Nationalist Association, which by now had renounced blue as its color due to it's association with the traitorous House of Savoy, had its paramilitary units constantly at the front lines, and gained a great deal of popularity as the conflict degenerated further and further into open civil war. Unrest in the Veneto, Lazio and Campania areas were quickly suppressed by Austrian and right leaning army regiments now loyal to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

-The Hashemite Rebels, in disarray and without any foreign support, are crushed by a Saud-Ottoman joint campaign

-Baron Ungern von Sternberg and his 'Wild division' take the Mongolian capital of Urga, with Sternberg declaring himself Mongolia's supreme ruler.

-Uruguay establishes it Council of National Administration, ending political tensions for the time being

1920

-Though Moscow had been under siege from a combined army of Whites since November of 1919, it takes until January 22nd, 1920 for the Bolsheviks to finally submit a formal surrender. Outnumbered, outgunned, and crippled by starvation and desertion, the Reds have little choice but throw themselves at the mercy of the Provisional Government. The Whites stand victorious at the formal conclusion of the civil war.

-The White Russians send a delegation of Alexander Kolchak, Sergei Sazonov, and Alexander Kerensky to ratify a modified version of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, despite furious protestations from nearly all elements of Russian society. With the nascent Russian Republic in almost as poor shape as the Bolsheviks had been in 1918, the Russians have little choice but agree to German demands, lest they face "punitive action" by the Kaiser's armies.

-Secretary of the Treasury William McAdoo becomes the 29th President of the United States, with Alexander Palmer as his Vice-President

-The Italian Civil War reaches it's de facto end, as outnumbered Austrian and Republican forces defeat the Socialist attackers in the Po River Offensive. Weary of starting a full scale war with Austria, and with most of its territory devastated by conflict, the SRI quits its offensives. Only 3 of the states of the former Italian Federation are still existing at this point.

The Peace with Honour (1921)

-As the The fall of France, Russia, Italy and their allies in the Balkans reduced the Entente to the British Empire, Japan and Portugal. While none of these countries were none were able to pose a threat to Germany a vice versa, neither side willing to re-enter direct conflict, as the ceasefire began to run out, General Ludendorff proposed a 'Peace with Honour' to the Entente. The remaining Entente members would acknowledge the peace treaties between Germany and the former Entente members and return Germany's colonies (Including those transferred in the peace treaties) in exchange for status-quo ante-bellum. The peace itself was signed at 11 AM on the 11th of November, 1921, ending the Weltkrieg after seven long years.

1924

-In the U.S., President McAdoo is reelected.

-In Russia, a coup is attempted by a loose coalition of businessmen, industrialists, centre-right conservatives, and Siberian autonomists, all of whom are united chiefly by strong anti-German resentment. Alexander Kolchak, despite having little involvement with the plot, is declared provisional dictator. However, only a handful of units in Siberia side with the plot, and all ultimately agree to stand-down rather than fight the army units sent to suppress them. Seeing the writing on the wall, the plotters disperse, with Kolchak accepting an Anglo-Japanese offer to be installed as an anti-German pretender in the "Russian Republic" of Transamur.

-Seeing the chaos engulfing Russia in the wake of the Kolchak Putsch and resentful of broken promises for autonomy, the Don, Kuban, and Terek Cossacks mutiny on the urging of General Pyotr Krasnov. Though support for the rebellion is far from universal among the Cossacks, the feeble state of the Russian army leads Kerensky to reluctantly agree to Krasnov's demands. The newly-created "Don-Kuban Union" that arises is independent from Russia in all but name.

-The Consolidation of Resources Act merges Australia and New Zealand into the Australasian Confederation. Elections are suspended and much of the new Dominion is put under martial law.

1925

-A British general strike over coal tariffs escalates into an nationwide uprising when government troops massacre striking miners. After the army begins to stand down or defect and the Royal Navy begins to mutiny, the government flees to Canada. A coalition of leftists centered on the Trades Union Congress take control under the charismatic John McLean, creating the Union of Britain.

-Michael Collins dissolves the Irish Free State and the autonomy of Ulster, proclaiming the Republic of Ireland with himself as President.

-The collapse of the British government led to a massive land-grab among its overseas possessions. Gibraltar finally fell into Spanish hands, Argentina quickly seized the Falkland Islands, Egypt gained sole authority over the Sudan, Nejd invaded the Trucial States, Shammar ensured the fealty of Kuwait, and the Ottoman Empire regained control over Cyprus and Aden, the latter of which was placed under Yemeni juristiction. Germany managed to secure most of the British African holdings as well as the strategic colonies of Malta, Suez, Berbera, Ceylon, the Strait Colonies, Brunei, and Sarawak.

-Australasia keep control over the British parts of New Guinea and Fiji.

-India, once the pearl in the British crown breaks down into three new states. The Dominion of India, colloquially Delhi, retains control of the northwest, while the Indian National Congress forms its own government, the Bhartiya Commune. The Princes of the south form their own, independent Princely Federation. Burma becomes an independent kingdom once again.

-The facade of a protectorate Britain claimed in Somalia collapses, and Sultan Mohamoud formally proclaims Somali independence.

-South Africa manages to secure the Bechuana Protectorate. Tensions between the pro-Entente Smuts and pro-republic Hertzog grows.

-The Royal Navy's Caribbean Squadron secures the British colonies in the region. These colonies, together with the former French colonies in the region would form the Caribbean Federation. Venezuela protests its claims to the United States yet again.

-In Canada the Senate is replaced by a reconstituted House of Lords.

-Xu Shichang manages to become president of the divided Chinese Republic. In an effort to restore order, Xu asks the German Empire to help him restore order in China. In exchange he would accept the restoration of Pu Yi to the Chinese throne. The Guominjun accuses Xu of betraying the Republican principles of Sun Yat-Sen and declares war on him.

-A supposedly Serb-sponsored pan-Slavic revolt sweeps over the Southern parts of the Austrian sphere, endangering Austrian hegemony in the region. The Kaiser deals with this by playing the Croats against the Serbs, establishing a Croat-led Panslavic Kingdom under the name of Illyria. Hungary is not amused.

1926

-Governor Hans von Seeckt of German Indochina is ordered to intervene in the civil war in support of Xu. Within six months Germany manages to defeat the Guominjun and secure most major centers of industry and population. The opponents of the government retreat to the remote west, Yunnan or Manchuria, while Pu Yi is restored as Emperor, but has to accept a conglomerate of German enterprises, known as the AOG (Allgemeine Ostasien-Gesellschaft), taking economic control of the industrial south. Hans von Seeckt would become its first governor-general. In order to safeguard the economic interests of other major powers, all the port cities are united as the Legation Cities and are put under joint control.

-Japan intervenes in support of Zhang Zuolin, but isn't willing to risk conflict with Germany. The Fengtian Government is established in Northeast China.

-In a barbaric act, Alexander Kerensky is assassinated and Russia descends into chaos. The Senate tries to maintain order, and Germany watches carefully.

-King George V passes away and Edward VIII, his womanising son, is crowned King of Britain, the first to be done so outside of Westminster.

-The German stock market crashes in an event known as 'Black Monday.' The coming weeks see the majority of the world that relies on imports from Germany and Mitteleuropa see a massive economic downturn. Unlike the great depression, this time the whole world was affected. Syndicalists have been left unharmed since they have never linked their economy to capitalist pigs.

-After the Totalist charter, it seems that the Totalism is becoming popular. The Sorellians emerge as the rulers of the Commune of France, with power dedicated to the chairman; The congress of Trade Unions ends with Mosley, the surprise Totalist candidate, as he is elected Chairman. He begins benevolently, but will soon destroy his country; and to no one's surprise, the Socialist Republic of Italy becomes another Totalist member of the Internationale, but many say that it was the French rather than the Italians that assured Mussolini's rise to power.

-The National French restore the suspended constitution and the first true French president since the collapse of 1921 is elected.

-Romanians move to occupy the DMZ of oltenia without repercussions.

-Crete is sold to the Ottomans, greatly increasing their national debt even more than it was before.

-The Pope passes away, and the College of Cardinals finds Pius XI the new leader of the Catholic world. Strongly advocating for the eradication of Syndicalism and the preservation of the Catholic world's religiosity, he finds enemies with socialism.

-The Polish regency council seems to be finally deciding to choose Habsburg as their king after years of stagnancy, however the Polish military seize control and the Saxon, Friedrich Christian, Margrave of Meissen crowned as the new king of Poland. Although Austria accused Germany of masterminding all this, Kaiser Wilhelm II rejected the accusation.

-Chaos in the Legation Cities when a local Chinese mafia took control but was immediately suppressed and annexed by A.O.G & Japan.

-Inspired by their Chinese comrades, Hồ Chí Minh & his followers, known as the Vietcong, rebelled against German rule in Indochina. The rebellion went well, they succeeded in occupying Cambodia, Laos & southern Vietnam but this did not last long when the German Schutztruppen & marines launched a counterattack and destroyed the rebellion. Hồ Chí Minh managed to escape from the country but was later caught in Siam and extradited by the Germans and executed. Even so, the Germans found that the Internationale secretly helped the Viet Cong by sending advisors and equipment(who were captured by German forces). This gave a surprise to Berlin but the Kaiser ignored it.

-In the crisis of Black Monday, Belgium declares independence from Germany to return to its neutrality. Outraged, Germany declares war and invades its former ally, as the French watch carefully on the border. When German forces step into Brussel, they are expected to be pushed out, but Chancellor Franz von Papen ordered German generals to stand by and negotiate with them. The compromise is reached between the two sides, Belgium will be independent & become a Republic and instead they will join Mitteleuropa. This decision is said to have weakened German influence in Low Country, and many have condemned von Papen act of cowardice.

-Bulgaria slashes its military pensions in an attempt to continue its military capability and support, but ends up only continuing its ailing economic problems, and a communist sentiment grows in the impoverished workers and veterans.

-After the death of Kornilov, his close associate, Savinkov, rises to power and is declared the new Vozhd.

-The Argentine dictator, Manuel Carles, seizes control of all of Argentina, with many preparing for the inevitable war against the Patagonian Front.

-After less than 200 years, American democracy comes to an end when President Hoover hands over power to General MacArthur. His declaration of martial law is seen as a last resort to preserve the American union, but many agitators are active in the country. Liberty is replaced by fear and populism.

-The Japanese signing the National Security Act, where a liberal Diet is granted power. Despite desiring much territory in the East, the Japanese government becomes more open to new ideas, and the Emperor continues to be passive in maintaining the affairs in the state. It would be a mistake for his nation.

-Savinkov assembles a cabinet of like-minded idealists and nationalists to whip the Russian nation into shape; this aggression inspires Wilhelm to pursue closer bonds with the Don-Kuban Union and Azerbaijan, protecting the vital oil supply from the Caucasus.

1937

-The Romanians nationalize their oil fields, hitting a Germany that just managed to get back on its feet.

-Hjalmer Schacht's Schachtplan reforms have stopped Black Monday crisis, His efforts seem to have succeeded in at least partially alleviating the Black Monday crisis, and public markets have already begun to slowly trend upwards. But many Syndicalists country seeing German government became weak, as the Red menace moves beyond the Rhine. Commune of France take advantage of the weakening of Germany to spread red madness to the corners of the world.

-Syndicalist forces under the command of Jack Reed seize government buildings and police stations across the Rust belt. Reed gives his infamous "New American Dream" speech on radio, proclaiming the United States a dead nation, and declaring the birth of the Combined Syndicates of America. State governments fail to respond in time, and with Syndicalism extremely popular in many of these areas, police response is weak and sometimes virtually non-existent. Less than two days later, the CSA controls everything from St. Paul to Philadelphia, with only small holdouts in remote areas eventually folding in. Due to the quick response of Governor Herbert Lehman and New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, the State holds out against Syndicalist takeover, with local militias and the National Guard protecting the border and subduing the most unruly elements.

-Under the command of Huey Long, five southern states secede from the U.S., and in a Radio Broadcast, Long proclaims the birth of the American Union State and the death of the United States of America. His Minutemen are deployed to the border. More states join the AUS, which now holds the entirety of the South. Federal troops under orders from MacArthur march on CSA Pennsylvania. The first battle of the Second American Civil war takes place in the town of Lancaster, a few miles east of Gettysburg. In it, CSA forces that have been concentrating in southern Pennsylvania repel Federal troops.

-After the Battle of Lancaster, the states of New England become convinced that the crisis has spiraled out of control and lose any remaining faith on the Federal Government. A Provisional Republic of New England is formed, under the direction of Joseph P. Kennedy. New York soon joins the new nation, and, under New Englander invitation, Canadian forces enter the country to help secure its borders. New England forces comprised of State Militias, National Guards, and better armed Canadian troops march on Pennsylvania. They meet virtually no resistance, as the CSA has not yet established any significant military presence in the north of the state. When New Englander forces reach CSA held territory, they stop advancing. An uneasy peace exists between both nations, as neither desires an immediate conflict.

-An CSA offensive manages to cut Washington D.C. from the rest of the country. CSA forces engage American Unionists for the first time, as the Federal capital remains surrounded by both sides. In a daring move, MacArthur flees on an airplane through enemy controlled territory. His whereabouts remain secret for a number of days. The Syndicalists continue their hunt for MacArthur in vain. The Federal troops in Washington D.C. surrender to CSA troops. The Capital has fallen.

-MacArthur reappears in Denver, where the new provisional capital has been established. In a famous speech, he vows to continue the fight until "The Rebels have all been hanged. Down with the traitors, up with the stars!".

-Spain erupts into civil war! The isolated carlists, Reichspakt-backed Kingdom and the C.N.T-F.A.I. fight for victory. Thousands of French troops sneak through the Pyrenees to continue the crusade of socialism. With the threat of the Reichspakt growing stronger, Thunder warfare is used for the first time against Carlists forces.

-During the 1937 German election, a moderate reformist coalition won the election, perhaps because the German people wanted little change and at the same time a strong government that was able to overcome the ongoing and future crises. The Kaiser appoint Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the Lion of Afrika as the new Reichskanzler. Under the new government, they carried out several reforms such as turning the German government system into a democratic one while still maintaining existing Kaiser power, promising women's suffrage, forming the Kaiserjugend youth organization, formed a Christian trade union to counteract the influence of Syndicalism among German workers, and several other economic reforms in both Germany and Mitteleuropa. This gave a shock wave to conservatives, especially when Kaiser himself supported the reforms, Wilhelm claimed he had only fulfilled his promise since the first Weltkrieg. Nobody knew why Kaiser was like that since he returning from Hohenzollern castle, he usually left business like this to other people but now he became active in managing it. Even modern historians do not know what possessed him so like this.

-Canada activates Defense Plan Two, seizing the New England area (and upstate New York), Alaska, the Panama Canal and Puerto Rico (the latter of which is given to the Caribbean federation.)

-AUS forces reach Washington D.C. under the command of General Patton. They engage in a series of massive battles for control of the city, all resulting in failure. In the west Federal troop's fair better, managing to contain the advance of the AUS and the CSA, while the states under Federal control caught between these two slowly fall to one or the other.

-The co-prosperity sphere is founded in Dairen. A first congress of the nominally independent Joseon and Manchurian Kingdom, under the Japanese Empire, with promises of liberty and wealth to all. Mass immigration occurs towards the Home Islands, as well as colonisation of south Korea orchestrated by Japanese officials.

-With the C.N.T. seemingly winning the grueling Spanish civil war, the French demand Romandie from the Swiss. Busy with economic hardship and military difficulty, the Germans and the Austrians are unable to back the Swiss. Switzerland can only sit to see part of its territory annexed by France

-The Ausgleich catastrophically fails when the Hungarian delegation leaves. Austria promises the representation of ethnic majorities in Hungary, but refuses to give any more concessions to the Hungarians, leading to a split in the Empire. The Ausgleich war begins.

The feeling in the air is one of electric; the lightning is coming, but that is not what the world fears . . .

-With many officials still denying the chance of war against the Internationale, Savinkov's Russia cuts ties with Germany - the Vozhd having signed a treaty with Valois over the 'the return of the territory that was robbed by the German Empire during the Weltkrieg to the perspective owner.' This, despite being overly official and pressuring Germany to return the Don-Kuban Union to Russia, is seen for what it truly is across every corner of the world: Germany is encircled. Hope for the Kaiserreich fades as Wilhelm gives the order to reject the treaty. Russia invades the Union as promised, but the Austrian instead enter talks with Germany to redraw the Russian borders and settle the area.

'Return Alsace-Lorraine or war.'

But unexpectedly by everyone, Kaiser Wilhelm the great stood up and responded by saying:

"I became Kaiser of Germany during it's early development. The Fatherland had only been recently united, and was young. She had a weak colonial empire, but I knew there was a glory in her waiting be let out. It was let out during the Weltkrieg, superior German Armies won the war in both the East and the West, it was a gamble that almost threw Deutschland on a very different and horrible path...but we won. Despite all odds, Berlin never cracked, and in the peace, Germany became the greatest country to ever exist on the face of the planet Earth. But this was a fleeting peace, the war to end all wars was not that, we have been so naive to think that the Weltkrieg could never happen again. And now, we have passed the edge, the Second Weltkrieg isn't coming, it's already here. I will not give an inch of rightful German Soil without Iron and Blood, I will never allow Germany to be usurped by another power, and I will most definitely never allow Germany to be beaten in war by Syndicalist Madness and Russian Barbarism. You can go back to Paris now and tell them this: We will defend to our deaths our native soil, we shall go on until we can go on no more, we shall fight on the Rhein, we shall fight in the High Seas, we shall fight with growing strength and confidence in the skies, We Shall Defend Our Germany, Whatever The Cost May Be. We shall fight in the fields, we shall fight at home and abroad, we shall fight in the streets and in the cities, We Shall Never Surrender!"

Kaiser Wilhelm II declared a great crusade against Syndicalism, everyone in world knew what had happened.

"War is unavoidable, the second Weltkrieg has begun"

Second Weltkrieg

End of 1939

-As tensions build along the Alsace-Lorraine, Commune forces launch a devastating surprise attack across the border. Europe is plunged into war and Germany struggle to push back. Using overwhelm manpower & arm, the low countries was quickly overtaken. The world was shocked, Reickspakt responded by declaring war on Internationale and vice versa

-Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt immediately launched a contingency plan for the war against Syndicalism, the speed of the French army being dammed before reaching the Rhineland and being pushed back to Belgium before the front line ended in a stalemate until the winter. The war that began with the front line moved always for a while, eventually becoming a trench warfare, like their grandfather 20 years earlier.

1940

-Finding themself unable to break the deadlock in Rhine front, Internationale looked north. April, 1940, Union forces launch invasion of Scandinavia in hopes of dispersing German reserves from the Rhine front, making connections with Russia in the East, and confining the Kaiserliche Marine's high sea fleets in the bottle of northern sea. Germany and Sweden immediately responded to the invasion and held back the pace of the Union in Norway. Although the British plan failed, they managed to occupy half of Norway and secure the strategic base there, the Kaiserliche Marine had to strive to break the Union blockade in the future.

-Seeing the Carlist start pressing C.N.T. in the Spanish civil war, Mosley who became paranoid again urged Valois to take control of the Iberian peninsula to prevent the Entente from having a foothold on the continent.

Syndicalist puppet state established by the winner, the Entente denounced Commune intervention as illegal.

-The Italian allies, Mussolini launched an invasion of the Vatican in the hope of showing his abilities among the Syndicalists countries but ended with an embarrassing defeat when his troops were kicked out by Swiss guards.

1941

-Desperate to bleed German to death, the highest command of the RAF(Republican Air Force) & AAP(Armée de l'Air du peuple) planned a massive airstrike campaign in the heart of the German industry, Rhineland. "Every City Destroyed, Every German Killed, Every Factory Eliminated further Advances the Syndicalist Cause, and therefore I must Destroy Germany."; that's what Mosley said at the 4th Internationale congress.

Kaiser Wilhelm II managed to unite Germany during the wartime and when the Syndicalists terrorized it, this only made Germany more united. Not only that, Generalfeldmarschall Manfred von Richthofen, the German Weltkrieg era ace successfully reformed the German air defense system & the Luftwaffe. The introduction of radar systems, early warning systems, Flaktürme, & bomb bunkers made British bombings inefficient, not to mention the increasing number of deadly German fighters, such as the Bf 109 & Fw 190 which made the Luftwaffe able to push the RAF back from the German sky. Exiled pilots from countries invaded by Syndicalists such as Spain, Norway, Italy will also join the battle, German propaganda calls them all as Die Wacht am Rhein. The Kaiser later described this event with his famous quote; "In all of history, never before was more owed to few"

-With failure to destroy German morale and the number of RAF losses that continue to increase to an unacceptable amount, Mosley ordered the attack to stop even though Valois still ordered AAP to continue but the Luftwaffe defended the skies and by June the raids had ceased.
