"The horrors of the Second World War, the chilling winds of the Cold War and the crushing weight of the Iron Curtain are little more than fading memories. Ideals that once commanded great loyalty are now taken for granted."
-Jan Peter Balkenende
1945
Destruction during the Battle of Berlin.
During WWII, the USSR was allied with the US, as Stalin said "The US might be imperialist, but, it's our only hope to survive the horrors of the Great Patriotic War." There were talks, and the Soviet economy went up, as the 4th Five-Year Plan rolled in. The economy boomed, as the government established more farms, and built more factories in cities like Moscow, and St. Petersburg. In Britain, however, as a last ditch attempt during the Battle of Berlin, Luftwaffe planes flew to bomb Britain once more. Out of 25,000 planes, only 1,000 made it back. German troops were also transported to Cornwall by Kreigsmarine ships. 500 ships launched, with about 1,000 each on board. Most were sunk as it refueled in Copenhagen. The ones that made it to Cornwall were destroyed. During the bombings, the House of Commons was destroyed, and same thing with the Prime Minister's house, killing him. The British Government fell apart, and a rebel group called the White Saxons (Pro-Fascism.) attempts to take over the title of Prime Minister in order to have a dictatorship. Most people, mostly supporters of Neville Chamberlain, support them, and the British military is forced to* reckonize the nation as a puppet state of Germany. In the US, they have finally built 7 nuclear warheads, one named Little Boy, the other named Fat Man. The 5 were sent to the USSR, to use against Germany. In August, the Enola Gay and The Great Artiste launched, and headed toward Hiroshima. A missile was launched at The Great Artiste, and shot it down, severely damaging the Enola Gay. It fell also, and exploded.
