On September 28, 1918, a random British soldier who went by the name Henry Tandey was serving near the French village of Marcoing, and encountered a German soldier. Unbeknownst to him, this soldier, Lance Corporal Adolf Hitler, was wounded, and so Private Henry Tandey pulled the trigger. Also, the day before, It is rumored that someone had appeared in New York and kicked a rock, and then disappeared. It is rumored that this person also was from the future. People say this guy was an alien, but now it is just viewed as another “alien” sighting. That is not what this is about, however. In 1922, Italian Benito Mussolini overthrew the Italian government, and replaced it with his own fascist dictatorship, with ambitions to make Italy great again, and even bring back a Neo-Roman Empire. In the east, the Bolsheviks win in the Russian Civil War, and form the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. Japan invades China, and sets up the old Qing government in Manchuria. Then in 1932, the Chaco War started between Bolivia and Paraguay, resulting in a Paraguayan Victory in 1935. In 1936 the communists in China were officially defeated, having been in constant decline ever since the Great March. The Battle of Shaanxi didn’t help them, either. Xinjiang then declared themselves the Western Bastion of the PROC, and officially aligned themselves with the USSR. Now, this was set up after Mao’s Surrender. Britain takes control of Southern Arabia, with Oman having Autonomy. Mussolini’s Italy invades and conquers Ethiopia. In 1936, the Spanish Civil War takes off, with the Fascist Nationalists and Communist Republicans. The Nationalists have control over the colonies and the west of Spain, being supported by Italy, Portugal, and China, as well as foreign volunteers from officially neutral countries. In 1937, Italy demands Albania join them. Albania accepts Italian demands, and is granted some local autonomy. In 1937, the Allies agree that the Weimar Republic will be allowed to build up a military without restrictions, excluding those set by the Treaty of London. This means that the Rhineland is now militarized. As of this moment in time, the Allies are focusing on their domestic issues, which were worse and progressively got worse as the Great Depression wreaked havoc among Capitalism. The communists did not have this problem. The fascists in Italy were busy supporting Spain, So was Portugal. Japan and China were hit by this too, as well as the rest of the world. Not the communists. The USSR took advantage of this and invaded Estonia and Latvia. The Weimar Republic then pledged full military support if Lithuania were ever to be on the defensive side of a military conflict. With this, the USSR then invades Poland. Poland focuses on saving the people from Communism instead of their borders, so they give Lithuania their claimed lands before the Soviets could get to it. Then, the Allies threatened war if the USSR continued their assault on Poland, and so they decided to set up a client state in their occupied lands in Poland, the People’s Republic of Poland, with both governments splitting Warsaw. Then, in 1938, the Allies all started supporting the Nationalists in Spain. In August of 1939, the USSR invades Czechoslovakia, and then demands that the Czech government give the USSR Slovakia. Czechoslovakia agrees, and houses the Slovakian government in their land. The USSR sets up the Slovak People’s Republic. Then, Czechoslovakia, still named Czechoslovakia in honor of Slovakia, joins the Allies. Italy, China, and Japan also agree to assist if the Allies ever go to war with the USSR. On March 18, 1940, “China” dropped a bomb on Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Mongolia responds by declaring war on China, a war which Japan and Italy join in. The Allies also join the war to honor the pacts of Tokyo-London, Beijing-Paris, Rome-Berlin, Burgos-Vilnius, and Prague-Warsaw. Now, who will be victorious?
