I felt like I needed to restart this, in the first version DuQuense brought up some good points that I couldn't deny or change, and so I'm going to redo it as I know a few people liked it. I hope this second version will be less wank and ASB - ish. It will start of relatively similar to my first versions, though there will be a few tweaks and odd little changes.

1925

July

In the book 'Mein Kampf', Hitler spells out his future plans for Germany. In which he specifies the hopeful alliance between the British Empire, Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Hungary. He also notes about how Yugoslavia is both an ally and enemy, Hitler writes of how the government and monarchy of Yugoslavia has been "taken over by Jewry and the disgusting Serbs and Montenegrins".

1935

April

A month after Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler begins the reconstruction of the German Army and the Luftwaffe the Hungarian Prime Minister, Gyula Gömbös declared the Hungarians project for also destroying the 'Treaty of Trianon' and recreating an army and an effective air force. Hitler and Gömbös hold various meetings over the next month in order for help to be given to one another. Gömbös also begins to swing his allegiance with Italy towards Germany, whom he envisaged would be able to support him in the future.

October

The Duce of Italy, Mussolini, declares war on Abyssinia and begins the invasion of the African nation. The French and British allow for him to invade as they wish for Italy to be a potential ally against Germany.

December

Mussolini accepts the 'Hoare-Laval Pact'. Soon after, the Pact is put into action and the Abyssinian government is forced to accept it due to the sea route they gain. Though when the plan is implemented Italian troops blockade the sea-route, the Abyssinians cry out about this but it falls on deaf ears in Britain and France. Hitler and Szálasi denounced the Italian Invasion of Abyssinia however, and said that Britain and France had helped 'sell-out' the African nation to Italy.

1937

May

After Prime Minister Kálmán Darányi of Hungary bans the 'Party of National Will', the leader Ferenc Szálasi was outraged, and he and his relatively young fascist party rose up in what would later become known as the 'March on Budapest'. Szálasi and around 35,000 members of the party marched to Budapest, and when they reached the capital of Hungary, Regent Miklós Horthy broke and declared Ferenc Szálasi to be the new Prime Minister of Hungary. While this was going on the Hungarian fascist party managed to turn the troops stationed around the city on the current PM, and thus in a matter of hours Kálmán Darányi was arrested, and Szálasi declared himself as 'The Leader'.

June

The now-Prime Minister Ferenc Szálasi calls an election, in which through violence, oppression and horror tactics leads to the 'Party of National Unity' becoming the winning party by a landslide. Soon after, Szálasi sets about making his role in government more and more authoritarian, much in the same way Hitler had. Jenő Szöllősi, the deputy PM, himself once said how Hungary had become 'Germany Mark 2', in the sense that Hungary had gone many of the transformations Germany had before it went into a fascist government.
