1937: The Rise of The Totalitarians
View attachment 483743
The world in 1937, when Konstantin Rodzhaevsky came to power in Russia.
EUROPE:
-The Grand Duchy of Ulster is created in the Kingdom of Ireland, ending the conflicts there.
-Brittany is allowed to split off as a Autonomous Commune of the Gallic Socialist Republic, and the Commune of Wallonia drifts further into the French sphere
-Inspired by the formation of the Roman Republic, Romanist movements sweep across Spain, Lusitania, Macedonia, Greece, and Romania.
-Small Macedonia is best Macedonia (According to every other Balkan state)
-The Transylvanian wars occur (no Vampires were harmed), in which Hungary loses territory to Romania
-Montana has stabilized somewhat, as have the other Caucasus states.
-A lot of border shifting occurs in the interwar period in eastern Europe, eventually settling down to what is shown here.
-Zionist rebels land in Palestine, and quickly seize Tel Aviv, and then march inland. Many believe that this is the trigger of the ethnoreligious and political tensions that have been brewing in the Ottoman Empire since the end of WWI, and soon, the Ottoman civil war will begin.
-And of course, Rodzhaevsky rises to power in Russia
AFRICA:
-France removes its old colonial administration, and allows most of its colonies to become independent as "Allied Communes", with the exception of Algiers (annexed to the Metropole), Mali, and Maghreb (both of which get the same "Autonomous Commune" deal as Brittany.
-Little has changed in the rest of Africa, colonial rule is still terrible
ASIA: *Note: China has many warlord states, I chose to show governments that they recognize.*
-The many small states near Gujarat form a confederation for their own defense.
-The Japanese Revolution was successful, and the Federation of Democratic Republics has taken the place of the old empire, which still holds on to Formosa.
-the F.D.R has launched an invasion of the Siberian Hetmanate, and is backing the Chinese Communists.
-As America continues to be rather isolationist, especially with the economic crises, their support for the Republic of China dries up.
-the United Arab States have been formed.
Never fight a land war in Asia...
THE AMERICAS:
-Argentina has become its own flavor of Romanist, and has puppeted Uruguay and Paraguay
-Chile and Bolivia have strong Romanist movements as well, but they haven't seized power yet.
-Columbia is in a full blown civil war between Communists and Nationalists.
-The United States got to keep a small strip of coastline in German Guiana, ending the war quickly
-Germany has been trying to get the US to sell them the Canal Zone for years now, with no success
WORLD:
-The Great Depression has hit all major countries in one way or another, leading to the rise of Belaism in Russia, Romanism in Southern Europe, and LibSoc in Asia
I hope this makes sense...
