Timeline
World War II
The world was plunged into war when Adolf Hitler swiftly attacked Poland (1939) over the Danzig corridor, thereby introducing the world to the German strategy of the 'Blitzkrieg' by conquering the country in a mere month. It was, however, only the start of Hitler's plan for world domination and expansion of the German Fatherland, which was to last for thousands of years. After the invasion of Denmark, Norway, the Benelux countries, France, Yugoslavia and Greece, Nazi Germany had almost free reign in continental Europe, being formally allied with the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom only left thanks to the lackings of the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe, which led to the only Allied victory in World War II, namely the Battle of Britain.
In 1941, Hitler then embarked on a campaign which only a daring statesman as he would have done. He backstabbed his official ally Stalin, and started one of the biggest invasions the world had ever seen, Operation Barbarossa. Before the end of the year, German troops entered in the Kremlin, after which Stalin dissappeared and was never to be found. Years later it was argued that the decision to besiege the so called 'symbolic' target Moscow, instead of logically focussing on Kiev, and the resource rich Ukraine and Caucasus, was the one decision that made a Russian counterattack impossible. After the fall of Moscow, several figures in the Soviet Union claimed power and conflicts arose within the Soviet hierarchy, while the logistic system to wage war completely collapsed over night. The Soviet ability to resist was not completely lost, however. Several Soviet generals began to function independently from the fighting Soviet leadership and forced discipline in her troops. Resistance was especially fierce in Stalingrad and Leningrad, but eventually Germany was pushing towards Archangelesk and Baku by 1943.
Meanwhile, the Allies, pushed by both the allied victories over Japan in the Pacific and Italy in North and East Africa, but also the need of a second front in Europe before it was too late, launched an ill prepared invasion of Italy, codenamed Operation Husky (March 1944). Germany, in a strike of opportunity, forced the remaining leadership of the Soviets to sign a peace treaty (December 1943), in which they would be 'given' the right to remain ruling over Siberia, while European Russia was to be under German occupation. Germany decisively crush the invasion force (May 1944), capturing many Allied forces, thereby making any other allied invasion impossible in the years to come. Hitler embarks on a second attempt to force the English to a surrender (August 1944), by focusing again on an air and submarine war. The participation of the United States, however, made any German attempt at starving the United Kingdom a complete failure. Meanwhile, the Allies in turn have begun to bomb German industries and cities en masse. Germany, strangled by heavy manpower losses in the East and a bombing campaign from the West, opens up diplomatic channels with the Allies trough neutral Switzerland and Sweden. The Allies, they too being unable to break the stalemate, eventually decide on a truce with the Axis (April 1945), in order to focus on the Far East.
It should be noticed that the truce is very unlikely to last and satisfactory to none. Historians often claim Hitler himself was fiercly against any truce, but did so after heavy pleads from the Wehrmacht and the lesser radical Nazi's in Germany, while Britain was forced to deal with a dangerous neighbour by the United States. In (August 1946), the Allies finally defeated the Japanese Empire by launching two nuclear bombs on it and declared world peace.
Der Kalter Krieg
Although a formal end to the Second World War had happened, many still unsolved conflicts rage in the years after the war. Hitler declared to have won an ultimate victory and embarked on megalomanic projects to prove the superioty of the German Empire. It immediately started the colonisation of the conquered areas in the East, but it proved to be costfull and a bloody campaign. Nevertheless, Hitler vowed to continue on the colonisation of the East, dubbed 'Generalplan Ost'. Several elements in the German leadership pushed for a less radical plan in the East, but Hitler only satisfied them by sharing some of the Russian spoils with Finland and Romania, and giving nominal peace to several Russian groups. Immediately after the war, the German quality of life was skyhigh, fueled by peace and the spoils of conquered Europe, it is however to be seen how the European economy under Nazi rule will develop. In Italy and Vichy France, for instance, poverty and dissent rose, fueled by the loss of their colonial empire and the lack of war spoils. Both countries are dealing with heavy problems by 1947, and it remains to be seen if their current leaderships will remain in power.
The Allies in their turn are eying for any opportunity to contain the German power in the world. But other potential enemies are rising, too. In China, the informal allies of the United States, the nationalists, are under heavy pressure from the much more powerfull communists. The allied governments in exile, the Free French, the Belgians and the Dutch, are all dealing with independance movements. The United Kingdom meanwhile, isn't putting down the war economy anytime soon, with German forces only a few miles away. The United States, unaffected and more powerfull than ever, will have to extensively support it's allies to put a lock on further German expansion. This is the FATHERLAND's world.
