100. United States - Radical/Liberalist
Continued from CSA game #86
After the Destruction of the Confederate States in 1880, the United States re-integrated the South, freeing the slaves. America was a war-hardened power ready engage in brutal imperialism to fuel its ravenous industrial economy with foreign resources and markets. The former African colonies of the CSA came under official American control, and soon America was expanding to Pacific Islands, declared war on Spain, and built the Panama Canal.
America also joined the German-French super-alliance to take down the British from the #1 spot. This was a resounding success, and Canada was integrated as new states in the union.
America settled mostly into digesting its new conquests while playing the influence game in Latin America to control markets there. However, in Europe the diplomatic situation remained turbulent.
The Franco-German alliance broke down, resulting in a power vacuum that lead to no less than 5 additional world wars, in which various European powers rose and fell in quick succession. Colonies shuffled around, and revolutions stirred. The chaos continued until 1930.
The USA, having been cornered by the Germans, lost most overseas colonial territory, but remained the world's largest economy.
Spain, France, and Netherlands were finished as world powers. Italy was on its last legs, while Portugal and Scandinavia were on the rise thanks to their partnership with Germany.
Russia remained isolated and weak, succumbing to a fascist revolution to restore its lost glory.
However, moving into the 1930's the short peaceful decade was but the deep breath before the final plunge.
The various countries of Europe, after witnessing the horrors of war and political extremism, managed to stabilize themselves with conservative democratic systems, notably lead by Germany's constitutional monarchy. However, the British remained the odd one out, having remained Communist. This friction lead to the beginning of World War 7.
The Italians adopted a Radical government, as so were invaded by German their Democracy-enforcing coalition. The action in Africa gave the British the excuse to intervene on the side of Italy. British entry in the war prompted the Russian and Turkish alliance to join the side of Germany against the British, since the Russians had been in low-intensity war with China, a British ally.
The USA was fermenting coups in the various latin american countries that did not reform their governments enough, finally the USA resorted to invading the British Caribbean, and expanding the war to Brazil and Mexico to make the whole of South America their puppets.
Since the USA was now at war with the entire Commonwealth, The United States figured it could also integrate Australia and New Zealand. From Hawaii, the USA prepared its armies of elite marine landing forces. With a shiny new state-of-the-art navy, they swept across the Pacific, seizing island after island in a lightning war, quickly overwhelming all defenses.
The American navy, not only technically advanced in its ship design, but now more numerous than all the navies in Europe on both sides combined, put the British to blockade, liberating Ireland, and ending the war.
