Background (1930's-1953):Germany's Age of Expansion
In 1931, Winston Churchill was hit by a taxi cab while visiting New York City. Though he had to spend the rest of his life walking with a cane, Churchill survived and helped win World War 2 with the strength of his incredible personality. But what if, instead, Churchill hadn't survived? By the 1930's, Germany had established a dictatorship; along with Italy these two would eventually form the Axis Alliance. By 1939, the Axis (including Japan) would go to war with the Allies starting by Germany and the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland. By 1940 the Axis would conquer much of Europe. Hitler then would lead a successful invasion of the British Isles, which easily fell without the stiff resolve of someone like Churchill. In 1941, Nazi forces invaded the Soviet Union, quickly capturing Moscow, where they looted and burned down the city, also massacring most of the communist party and Stalin was taken prisoner to be executed two years later. As for the U.S.S.R, it would relocate east of the Ural Mountains in Siberia, losing all land in Central Asia.).
The Pacific WarOn Dec 7 1941, Japan would bomb Pearl Harbor, causing the U.S. to declare war on Japan. Foreign nationals called for the U.S. also to declare war on the European Axis. Roosevelt had his Generals assess an invasion of Europe, and his generals pointed that an invasion of Europe would be too difficult because they would have to sail across the Atlantic in order to make any deployments of troops in Europe. Also it would be difficult to give supplies to the U.S. forces. Hitler began to assess whether he should invade the U.S. but also saw it too difficult to execute. The Pacific War would drag out until 1944 when U.S. forces had taken much of Japan's island colonies. On October 25 1944, the U.S. would drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and another one two days later on Nagasaki. This would cause Japan to surrender on October 29 1944.
While the Japanese War was being fought, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco began to think that Nazi Germany was gaining too much strength. Secret negotiation began between Italy and Spain to fight Germany as the Roman Alliance. Hitler began to suspect the treason and was soon validated by spies. On August 14 1947, Germany declared war on Italy. This cause the Roman Alliance to come to arms. Even with Spanish aid Nazi Forces easily crossed the Alps and soon were digging in to central Italy. On the Spanish front, Nazi soldiers took over much of Spain. By fall of 1947, Nazi forces took over all of the Roman alliance. Using Propaganda, Germany was able to declare war on Portugal and quickly took over the remainder of Europe. On February 12th both Benito Mussolini and Franco were executed.
Fascist China
By 1950 all of Europe was united under Nazi control. Hitler began to look into Asia and Africa for expansion. Throughout the 1940's China had experience a violent decade. From fighting Japan to now fighting a civil war. It pitted nationalist forces against Communists. Hitler, having a deep hatred of communism, supported the nationalist forces. The Chinese civil war dragged on for two bloody years until 1952, when the nationalists won. After all the communists fled to Korea or were executed China was renamed the Chinese Empire. Korea than experienced a violent war between the communists and the government. China brought aid to the government and by 1954 Korea's government was stable and most of the communist leaders were executed. A few managed to escape to Taiwan, where they named it the People's Republic of China. China would soon sign a treaty allying with Hitler.
The Structure of Hitler's EmpireHitler structured his empire in different sections. Central Europe was named German Proper including all of previous Germany before WW1, Denmark to the north, former Austria-Hungary, and Switzerland. France, the Netherlands, and Spain were renamed Western Germany. Great Britain became British Germany. Italy was named Roman Germany. The rest of the empire was grouped into Balkan Germany, Russian Germany (Russian Germany only included western Russia, the German army never invaded Siberia believing it to be a frozen wasteland) Baltic Germany, Armenian Germany and Scandinavian Germany. Hitler also established many puppet states, including many in Northern Africa (these puppet states were ruled by a white upper class), Central Asia, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and an Alliance with China and Korea.
Hitler also began a structured genocide of those he believed to be lesser. By the 1950's all of Europe's Jewish and Slavic population had either been executed or fled to the U.S. or Siberia. Hitler than began a genocide in Northern Africa against Africans and many races in Europe.
The Cold War Begins (1953-1954):The Cold War didn't actually start until 1953, when Germany would test their first Atomic weapon. This alarmed the United States; before, the U.S. believed that Germany wouldn't start a war for fear of a nuclear retaliation, and now with evidence to support that the lasting radiation effects of an atomic bomb could be disastrous for the environment. The U.S. also began to acknowledge Hitler's appetite for conquest, and began to organize an Alliance to defend against a war. On July 16th 1953 the U.S. formed the American Treaty Organization (ATO) including America, Canada, Mexico, El Salvador, Panama, Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Cuba, The Philippines, India and Japan. America would spend billions of dollars not only to improve its own army, but to also improve the armies of the other members of ATO.
Hitler would then show interest in the Middle East for their oil reserves. Many Arabian countries including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran began to have talks about join ATO. In 1954 all of the nations would be accepted. Hitler, with Chinese assistance, began an invasion of Southern Asia. America demanded the invasion to be halted but the invasion continued. ATO troops were sent to Vietnam where they clashed. A bloody conflict ensued where the ATO forces won and pushed the invaders out.
After the failed invasion, Hitler began his own alliance called The Holy Roman Empire or HRE, including all of the German Empire, all of the Northern African States, the Central Asian states, China, and Korea. The HRE armies outnumbered the ATO armies significantly, but the U.S. nuclear stockpile was almost twice as large as Germany's.
In 1955 Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and India joined ATO. Most of the countries of the world at this point were positioned into two opposing camps. Another conflict wouldn't break out until Egypt and Saudi Arabia had a dispute over the Suez Canal. This started the Suez War. When Egyptians invaded into Saudi Arabia. At the start Egyptian forces were much better armed and supplied than the Saudi Army and had numerous victories, until Iraqi and Iranian forces were deployed and pushed Egypt back into the Sinai Peninsula. This started the Battle of Sinai. Egyptian forces were outnumbered and being pushed back into the Egyptian heartland. Soon other North African countries sent their armies to the aid Egypt. This turned the tide and pushed back the Arab armies and then ATO mobilized. This escalated the bloodshed. Both armies were experiencing heavy casualties. America threatened for the North African nations to withdraw or face intervention. Germany then threatened to join in if American forces did, so the U.S. backed off. The Siege of Sinai would continue for 9 months, consuming many of the nation's resources. One soldier at the sight reported that with all the killing in such a small area it could be realistic that the whole place could be drowned in blood.
After the 9th month, cries around the world asked for an armistice and an end to the blood bath. On Dec 18th 1955 Leaders of America, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, India, Egypt, and many other nations met in Jerusalem to talk about an Armistice. The crisis disputed how the Suez Canal was to work and both nations were clear that they wanted to control the Sinai Peninsula. Instead a treaty was made that Sinai was its own nation and the canal was to be open to all nations with a small tax America paid Egypt an estimated $700,000 for Sinai. On Jan 4th 1956 the treaty was signed, and on Jan 8th The Democratic Republic of the Sinai was founded.
The Second Suez WarThe peace found by the Treaty of Jerusalem wasn't enjoyed for too long. Now an even bigger power struggle waged. The U.S., paying for Sinai, believed that it could influence it. America tried to sway Sinai to join ATO; this would help give the alliance an access to the Suez Canal. Hitler, well aware of this, soon began to offer Sinai to join the HRE, in order to also allow them access to the Suez Canal. Both nations began to bribe the Sinai government with money, weapons, soldiers, and secret information. This caused heavy instability throughout the newly-founded nation. Different factions lived in Sinai, including an Arab population, and since the U.S. had been a haven for many Jews during the Holocaust, many Jews in America and Siberia migrated to the Sinai in hope of one day regaining Israel. These three different factions lead to three different political parties: the Muslim Arabian Party (MAP), the Democratic-Republican Egyptian (DREP) party, and the Abrahamic Jewish Party (AJP). Fueled by U.S. and German influence, a civil soon erupted. The MAP supported a pro-American government along with the AJP. but DREP favored a pro-German Government. The civil war started when a AJP candidate won the 1960 election. MAP supported the transition, but DREP revolts happened over night. AJP and MAP joined forces and renamed themselves the Muslim Arabian and Jewish Hebrew Coalition (MAJHC). DREP renamed itself the Egyptian Revolutionary Forces (ERF).
The capital Al Qantarah, along the Suez Canal and the border of Egypt, was soon over run by ERF fighters. The newly elected president was forced to flee for fear of invasion by Egypt from the west. The MAJHC soon took Eastern Sinai. America, alarmed by the take over of the Suez Canal, pressed for a cease fire, while Germany and Egypt sent supplies to ERF. Soon, Saudi Arabia and many Arabian nations sent supplies, and even troops to help the MAJHC. The first major clash between the two forces was in March 1960 at the Battle of Gidi. The two armies met at the Gidi pass were both sides had heavy casualties but the MAJHC overcame and began a campaign to take back the capital. In Oct a giant force of ERF fighters meet then at the Little Bitter Lake another bloody battle ensued, and MAJHC was slowly making progress. Egypt declared war in fear that the MAJHC would continue in Egypt, so a battalion of Egyptian soldiers crossed the border and pushed back the MAJHC. The retreating forces withdrew to the Milta Pass. Saudi Arabia warned that if Egypt didn't withdraw from Sinai they were violating the Treaty of Jerusalem and were declaring war of Saudi itself.
Not only did Egypt ignore Saudi Arabia's treaty; they sent reinforcements to destroy the MAJHC strong hold at the Milta Pass. In Feb 1961 a combined ERF and Egyptian force invaded the Milta Pass. Saudi Arabia then sent its army to support the MAJHC. A long bloody battle began. America called for another meeting for a ceasefire. But a problem soon arose in the German government; Adolf Hitler was struck with cancer and was diagnosed with 6 months left to live.
On April 5th 1961, a second conference was held in Jerusalem. President John F Kennedy was there, President Muhammad Naguib of Egypt, Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, Haim Weizman for Sinai. Hitler planned to come but his health took a sharp dive and in his place were Heinrich Himmler and Hitler's oldest son Adrian Hitler. The treaty pronounced that this time no foreign body was allowed to intervene in Sinai affairs for ten years, unless Sinai asked for it. Also it stated that foreign armies were never allowed in Sinai for 20 years. The treaty was signed on April 13th.
The U.S.S.R. after the Fall of Moscow (1940's-1960's):No country had seen more tragic decades then the U.S.S.R. After the fall of Moscow, the nation would flee east of the Urals. The only survivor of the Nazi massacre was a close associate of Stalin, Nikolai Bulganin, who would resume as leader of the Soviet Union at the new capital of Novosibirsk in central Siberia. The 40's for the U.S.S.R. were the most brutal ever seen by Russian. Disease, famine, and poverty ran rampant through the nation. Bulganin even feared for a revolt. But by the 50's Bulganin ordered for the rise of industry. Throughout the 50's the U.S.S.R., using the raw materials of the Siberia, managed to steadily build up its economy. By 1960, with the output of Soviet material, Bulganin began to build up the Red Army for the inevitable rematch with Germany. The nation had actually managed to build up its forces and industry and had seen great progress since the 40's or even as far back as the 30's and 20's.
The Succession of The Fuhrer (1961, 1962):The Death of Adolf HitlerMany Germans feared the rise of the U.S.S.R., but their fears were soon overshadowed. On August 12th 1961, Adolf Hitler passed away. Many Germans in Germany Proper mourned the death of what they believed to be the most Heroic Patriot of their nation. But outside, especially in Western and British Germany, rumors were being heard of revolt. Hitler's original designated successor Hermann Goring called emergency power and On August 13th The Great Purge began. A large massacre across Europe began against any suspected of treason. Those people were murdered on the spot and left for public display.
On August 25th, Hitler was laid to rest in a giant mausoleum, and now talks about the new German Fuhrer commenced. Goring had ruled since the death of Hitler by calling for emergency power to defend against revolts. But in Hitler's will it stated that his oldest son Adrian Hitler, who Hitler taught him to rule, was to become the Fuhrer. Many Germans were divided over who should rule. Many believed that Hitler's will should be honored and Adrian should rule, but many believed that Goring was more prepared and ready to rule the empire. Many also believed that Adrian was too young, only being 21.
The September RevoltBy September, with no signs of Goring giving up power, Adrian Hitler, his brothers Gregory Hitler (20 years old, who had graduated from Military academy, a year ago, and part of the Nazi army), and Adolf Hitler II (18 years old) led the September Revolt, (aka: The Vienna Revolt). Marching from Vienna with them were 7,000 soldiers and citizens, marching all the way to Berlin. By Sept 12th, they reached Berlin. Goring deployed the Nazi army but he gave orders to not harm the son's of Hitler, but only to capture them and put down the rest of the revolt. The revolters' were slaughtered, and by accident both Adrian and Adolf II were killed (conspiracy theories have also come up with several other reasons: one is that Goring wanted the three brothers secretly killed and then punish the soldiers responsible, another is that soldiers in the Nazi Army believed they would become famous if they murdered the brothers, and lastly secret agents of either underground agencies in the German empire, or even from the U.S. became soldiers and planned to kill them). However, Gregory Hitler managed to escape into Roman Germany to Sicily (Gregory went missing and many believed either he was murdered, was kept as prisoner, or had been exiled to The Soviet Union).
The Rise of Gregory HitlerGregory would remain silent until January 1962, when he and his followers used the murder of his brothers to tarnish the Goring government. Until then, Goring had managed to hide that his soldiers had murdered Adrian and Adolf. But now, with Gregory spreading the news, many Germans were against his administration. Hitler's Wife, Eva Hitler, described Goring's actions as disrespect and dishonor toward Hitler in lowest degree to a newspaper. On February 2nd, Goring, for fear of revolt or assassination, would give up his title as the Fuhrer to Gregory. Even though the execution of Goring was highly in favor for the public, Gregory ordered Goring to be exiled in shame to the Island of Malta off the coast of Roman Germany. He would be under constant guard until his death on December 11 1980. But before he left he gave Gregory his final words "Adolf Hitler, your father, brought this nation from the ashes of indignity and poverty, and it has flourished as the most elegant empire to ever have been seen. You now must continue in his foot steps. You have a big obligation before you. You better not fail, for not only with the Germans hate you, you will have disrespected your father".
In a secret conference with his advisers, Gregory stated something he learned in Military Academy "That for every great leader they have won an even greater war" and that he was in search of his "great war" In the early part of his regime (mid 60's to 70's) would begin a long line of proxy wars between Germany and the U.S.
One of Americas greatest problems was the Fascist threat in North Vietnam against the Democratic South. After the North Vietnamese (backed by the Germans) invaded the South in 1963, America devoted a great deal of her effort fighting the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. Nazi propaganda described the Americans involvement as "A typical imperialist stance by the West". In total, around 70,000 Americans and over four Million Vietnamese (North and South) died in the war. This was the most deadly and destructive war since The Pacific War. American forces finally withdrew in 1969, after a peace was negotiated. North Vietnam would join the HRE while South would continue with ATO.
The Afghan Civil warBy the late 1960's, Afghanistan was an ally of Germany, but by 1970 it would face instability. A terrorist group began to rise ( back by U.S. aid) against the Nazi backed government. By 1971, the terrorist attacks became a full-on civil war. The terrorist group came to be know as Al Qaeda and would use guerrilla warfare, backed by U.S. aid. (Some of the attacks lead by the group were headed by U.S. Special Forces, and CIA officials). By 1972 German forces were deployed to find and destroy the group. The Afghan Civil War would continue until 1974 were Al Qaeda officials would flee to India and Iran, but not without leaving its mark on the Afghan government which was left unstable and weak.
The New Soviet LeaderIn 1975 Nikolai Bulganin, leader of the Soviet Union, passed away of a heart attack. The new leader would be Mikhail Gorbachev. A year later, the soviets would test their first nuclear weapon. They would be the 3rd to test a nuclear weapon, but the fourth to obtain nuclear weapons after the U.S., Germany, and China.
Civil Wars throughout the WorldFrom 1974-1976, many guerrilla type wars would spring throughout the world in countries such as Bolivia, Ecuador, Cuba, Libya, Mali, Ethiopia, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, but none were successful. The only successful was the Mongolian Civil war. Mongolia, a Soviet satellite state, was infiltrated by a Chinese-backed fascist party. By 1976, they would topple the government and establish a puppet state government of China.
The Road to World War (1976- 1979):The Greek Civil WarBy 1976, a civil war would spring were it was least expected. Greece, a section of Balkan Germany, would see the rise of the Democratic Army of Greece (DAG). Backed by American aid, the DAG would unexpectedly win the Civil War and established the Hellenic Republic of Greece. Germans, horrified by this, demanded immediate action from Gregory. In 1977, the Nazi Army invaded Greece. The newly developed country had nothing but a small militia to defend against the highly trained army. America demanded a halt to the invasion but it was too late. By Oct 1977 The Nazi Army had conquered the whole region.
Germans throughout the empire were outraged of how Greece had been able to liberate itself. Anti feelings toward Gregory's administration was at an all time high. In an emergency address to the empire, he stated, that he swore revenge on the U.S.'s disrespect of the superior German nation.
Mexican-German ConflictMexico, at the start of the 1900's, was a poor nation, but since the 1950's, with American aid, it began to rise in its economy and by the 70's it had risen in power, as did many Latin American nations. Gregory set his sights on Mexico, for two reasons: first, because of its proximity to the U.S., it would be payback for the Greek Civil War, and second, because Gregory believed that if he could turn Mexico into an ally and benefit the nation heavily, many Latin American nations would follow, weakening the ATO alliance significantly.
On Fed 13th 1978, a German ambassador was sent to Mexico to talk about an Alliance. America was on high alert. Mexico turned down the offer. Ironically two weeks later a insurgency group would rise in Mexico. The Mexican civil War would continue until 1979. That year, America would intervene to try to destroy the group. On Sept 16th 1979, a German ship headed to Mexico smuggling supplies to the terrorist group was sunk by a Mexican destroyer. Germans were outraged and demanded Gregory declare war on Mexico. Gregory made a speech on Sept 19th demanding that Mexico to make compensation. The Mexican government refused. Four days later, Germany officially declared war on Mexico.
On October 3rd, the German Army landed at Veracruz, Mexico. The landing was met by both Mexican and American forces already stationed in Mexico during its civil war. Terrorist groups aided German forces. By October 7th, the Germans managed to take Veracruz and established a beachhead, with their target being Mexico City. With the taking of Veracruz, they also managed to take two thousand Mexican and American POW's. Americans were outraged and ordered their release. President Jimmy Carter issued Germany an ultimatum to release them or face war. Germany ignored the threat and on Oct 5th they met the Mexican army at the Volcano of Pico de Orizaba. The Mexican army was well trained, but no match for the Superior German forces even with American aid. The Germans had a decisive victory and slaughtered the Mexican resistance. Americans were disgusted by images they saw of the destruction of the Mexican soldiers. The Mexican army retreated to Pueblo, just outside of Mexico City. Talks between American and Germany began but Gregory, ordered the punishment of Mexico. fueled by the public's outcry President Carter reluctantly declared war on Germany on Nov 3.
New President of America and German Invasion of AmericaBy Nov 14th German forces stationed in Mexico began their advance to Puebla. Two fleets filled with German reinforcements scheduled different destinations after word of Americas declaration of war. One fleet already in the Gulf of Mexico turned North to New Orleans, while the other outside of the Gulf invaded Florida.
On Nov 20th German forces invaded New Orleans. Two days later in Florida, German forces landed. The objectives were to take the Mississippi river and to take Florida. On Nov 26th, German forces invaded Virginia Beach, Va and New York City with two objectives: to take Norfolk Virginia, the largest naval base in the world, and cripple the U.S. Navy, and to take New York City, America's industrial capital. Doing so would slow down America's war industry.
The Conflict Goes GlobalOn Dec 8th, Germany would begin the battle of Puebla. ATO was soon activated, sending forces from El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil (because of American aid, it had risen to be the 2nd strongest nation in the western hemisphere, only behind the U.S.). With ATO reinforcements, the Mexican Army was able to hold their position in Puebla only because of sheer numbers. On the American front, unlike the Latin forces which alone were no match for the Nazi's, American forces were more evenly matched. Long bloody battles began in both Virginia Beach and New York. In the south the Germans had been able to take Miami, Florida. New Orleans had been captured by the Germans and now were moving north along the Mississippi.
With the failure to take Puebla, Gregory order HRE to mobilize. German forces backed by North African armies invaded Caracas, Venezuela and Eastern Brazil. The Brazilian and other South American forces withdrew to defend their homelands, leaving only Salvadorian, and Panamanian forces to support Mexico. In Asia, China and Korea were ordered to invade the U.S. and Canada from the West. Japan was ordered to intercept the Asian fleet. At the battle of Jeju on Jan 5th 1980, Japan was outnumbered by Chinese and Korean ships. With better strategy, luck, and some Filipino aid, the Japanese were able to win.
Back in Mexico, German forces conducted a second assault of Puebla on January 15th 1980. Even with Salvadorian and Panamanian support, Germany took Puebla and began a destructive march on Mexico City. By late January Germany began a siege of Mexico City, lasting until March when the city would fall and the Mexican government would flee north to Chihuahua.
Before China and its allies could mount another assault in the Pacific, Japan began a surprise invasion of Korea in February, reaching Seoul by the end of the month. But soon, Chinese and Mongolian reinforcements halted the assault. The line between the two forces was a bloody battle to push forward. By June, China and its allies began to push back Japan. On June 12th Japan would ask the Soviet Union for it to invade Mongolia and China. The Soviets agreed, but on one condition to be able to annex all conquered lands; Japan agreed with not too much of a choice.
On July 29th, The Red Army invade Mongolia. Mongolian forces were pulled from Korea and some Chinese forces. The Red Army, which had been hardened from the past few decades of tragedy, even though slightly outnumbered, won numerous victories. In America, Virginia Beach fell to the Germans. Reagan, the new president, ordered for the army to hold the line and not let them enter Norfolk. In New York, American and Canadian forces repelled the initial German offensive. Germany would begin the siege of Orlando in Florida by August. At Vicksburg, the American army was able to halt German advancement into the Mississippi.
In South America, Brazil had managed to repel HRE invasions and Gregory decided to instead focus in Venezuela, where the German army had managed to make a beach landing. Soon Brazilian, Argentinian, and Ecuadorian forces combined to fight Germany. At the Calabozo a huge battle began. German and Latin forces both saw heavy casualties, but by October Germany was being pushed back.
Soviet forces had managed to take more than half of Mongolia. Japanese forces were advancing into northern Korea. In December, North and South Vietnam declared war on one another and joined the fighting. Cambodia and Laos supported southern Vietnam. In America, German advances were beginning to slow. The Army had managed to hold the line at Norfolk and in New York, American and Canadian reinforcements had helped push back the Germans. Germany instead tried to flank the Americans by landing at the lower bay. American forces pushed Germans back from St. Vicksburg to St Francisville on the Mississippi. Florida was only where German advances were being made; by December, German forces had reached Jacksonville.
By 1981, Latin forces had managed to push Germany to Maracay, Venezuela. In Mexico, Germany had taken all of southern, the Yucatan, and central Mexico. By February they conquered Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. In Asia, India joined the war on March 3rd by invading southern China. Many Central Asian countries sent forces to help defend China. Iran soon aided India. By June, the Red Army had taken all of Mongolia and northeastern China. The flank maneuver tried by the Germans in New York had done nothing to help the cause American forces repelled the invasion, and the battle was still a draw. By August Germany had been completed pushed out of Venezuela. Nicaragua fell to the Germans by August. Costa Rica, having no armed forces, immediately surrendered Germany. Germany then began an invasion of Panama. German forces managed to take El Poste until Latin reinforcements arrived. Latin forces had finally been able to expunge the German army out of Venezuela and aid Panama.
In Mexico, German forces prepared to take the rest of Northern Mexico. President Jose Lopez Portillo galvanized the army by giving a speech that if Mexico falters the Germans will be able to mount invasion in the U.S. through Texas. German forces met Mexican resistance starting at Torreon. Germans made advances until in Septemte Germans reach Chihuahua where a violent siege started. The President prepared the country so that if this was the final battle he declared they would fight it with the "Honor of Mexico!". With aid Panama's army was able to not only repel German invasion but began to push it back into Costa Rica.
On October 3rd, after finally using the flanking strategy for a second time, New York City fell to the Germans. But it was described as a hollow victory, with heavy German casualties. The German commanders stationed there ordered for more troops, or the Americans and Canadians would take back the city. In Virginia, the Army was pushing the Germans back towards Virginia Beach. A bloody battle began at Baton Rouge between the Americans and Germans, ultimately resulting in an American victory. The objective was to rid the Mississippi River of Germans soldiers. By November, German forces entered Georgia. In December, American-Canadian forces launched a counteroffensive near New York to try to take back the city. Even with reinforcements, many of the German soldiers were exhausted from the last siege. By 1983, Germany lost all land south of Mexico. With U.S. aid, Mexican forces rallied and lead a heavy offensive against Germany, and managed to push them out of Chihuahua.
During the 1980 presidential election, Republican candidate Ronald Reagan won because many Americans believed that he had what it took to lead the country through the war, as well as blaming President Carter for letting the war erupt in the first place. Reagan won with 489 electoral votes, while Carter received 49.
ATO Turns the Tide of The War and The War Spreads to the Middle East (1983):The Tide of the War Changes
By February 1983, ATO had managed to turn tide in the war. German forces had retreated from both Virginia and New York. American forces took back New Orleans, expelling Germany from the Mississippi. American forces finally halted German advances in the eastern south at Brunswick, GA and the Germans were retreating from Florida in the face of a strong U.S. counteroffensive. By early March, American soil was totally free of German soldiers, save for the ones in prisoner of war camps. Latin forces invaded German-occupied Mexico and took Mexico City by the end of April. By May, they flanked the Germans fighting Mexican forces at Fresnillo, causing Germany to retreat from Mexico.
In Asia, Korea fell to Japan. The Red Army took all of China to the Huang river, and Japan was now joining them. India and Iran took most of southwestern China. To make the situation worse for China, Taiwanese, Australian, and Filipino forces landed on the Chinese coast. China was fighting and losing a three-front war to the U.S.S.R. and Japan to the north, India and Iran to the West, and Taiwan, Australia, and the Philippines to the east.
What had started as glorious campaigns had ended as disastrous defeats for Germany. Germans were surprised at how the army had lost not only to America, but to the inferior Latin races. Gregory expressed fear with his generals that America would return the favor of their invasion and soon invade the western empire. Gregory prepared for invasion by rebuilding the Atlantic wall from Scandinavia to Spain. He distributed his army to Scandinavia, Ireland, England, Western France, and Spain. He also pulled troops from some armies of the North African nations to defend against ATO invasion.
The War moves into The Middle EastIn a meeting with military advisers, Gregory had one last campaign that might be able to slow the ATO invasion. He believed if he could take the Middle East and its oil resources it would slow down ATO. Gregory ordered Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and some of the North African and Central Asian nations to invade the Middle East. On July 3rd, Turkey, Jordan, and Syria, invaded Iraq, Egypt, Ethiopia, Somalia, Libya, and Sudan invaded Saudi Arabia. Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan invaded Iran.
The invasion proved successful, as advances were made into the three regions. Iran pulled its forces out of China to defend against invasion. Fueled by Indian, Iranian, and American aid, Al Qaeda, led by Osama Bin Laden, initiated a revolution in Afghanistan. In August 1983, the second civil war was won by Al Qaeda. Afghanistan was renamed The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Two days later, the nation joined ATO. On August 23rd, the Afghan army invaded Central Asia to the north. This caused the armies of those nations to retreat. Afghan forces were soon joined by Iranian forces.
In Iraq, HRE forces had managed to reach Tharthar Lake. A battle ensued, but Iraqi forces were beaten. HRE forces took Medina and all the Red sea coast line in Saudi Arabia. Both countries were outnumbered by the HRE forces and were losing.
The Fall of ChinaOn September 3rd, Soviet and Japanese forces took Nanjing, the Chinese capital, and the last strong of Fascist China. With the fall of the capital, the Chinese government signed an armistice with ATO. Even though they signed it with ATO, the Soviets (the U.S.S.R. fought with ATO, but never joined the alliance) lead most of the meetings. The demands were:
1. All land above the Huang river was annexed into the Soviet Union; a move ATO disagreed with but were in no position to stop.
2. The People's Republic of China (a Communist government) was established as the official government of China.
With the war in China over, Japan, India, and even the Soviets joined in on the Middle Eastern theater. The Soviets invaded Kazakhstan, India aided Iraq, and Japan aided Saudi Arabia. The Soviets crossed the Kazakhstan border, causing the army of Kazakhstan to withdraw to defend against the Red Army. Indian forces joined the Iraqis at the capital of Baghdad and helped push the HRE forces out. At Hail, Saudi and Japanese forces aided in halting the North African nations' campaigns. As the war in the Middle East turn for in ATO's favor in late 1983, America decided that an invasion of Germany would soon be necessary.
The Invasions of Europe (1983-1985):The Battle of the AtlanticBefore America could invade mainland Europe, they would have to break the Atlantic Wall. From Nov 1983 to May 1984, the Battle of the Atlantic was fought. Battles between the navies of ATO (predominantly the U.S.) and Nazi Germany were fought continuously. In the Beginning Germany had the upper hand but after constant fighting American were managing to break through. In June 1984, Reagan in a meeting with his advisers believed that the time for the invasion was soon.
The D-day InvasionsOn July 18 1984, a day that came to be known as D-day, the forces of ATO landed in Europe. Three different locations were invaded, causing this to be the largest military campaign of all time. U.S. and Canadian forces landed at Eministmon, Ireland; U.S., Mexican, Salvadoran, Panamanian, Colombian, and Venezuelan forces in La Rochelle in Western France; and finally Brazilian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Chilean, Argentinian, and Bolivian forces at Vigo, Spain. Nazi forces stationed there fought fiercely, but ATO forces managed to establish beachheads in all three areas. All the Spanish-American forces, given their lesser numbers compared to the Americans and Brazilians, were combined as one.
By late 1984, both Jordan and Syria fell to ATO. An invasion of Turkey was under way by Iraq and India. Japan and Saudi Arabia gained permission to cross the Sinai and began a destructive march to Cairo. The Saudi claimed it as revenge for the Egyptian invasion. Kazakhstan fell to the Red Army and both Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan surrendered to Iran. Kazakhstan would be annexed into the U.S.S.R.
In Europe, progress was slow with heavy causalities for the Americans and their allies. In Ireland the Americans took Ennis after a terrible siege. American forces in France reached Poitiers, France. Leon in Spain fell to the Latin Americans as well. By the beginning of 1985, with the ATO invasion well under way, revolutions throughout British and Western Germany ignited. The army managed to contain them, but they halted supplies and troops to the front, allowing all of Ireland to be liberated by the Americans and Canadians, and for progress to have been made in Spain and France.
By February, ATO forces took Nevesehir in Turkey. Cairo fell to the Saudi Arabians, causing Egypt to surrender. The Saudi government demanded the other North African nations to surrender or face invasion. They consequently sued for peace and by mid 1985, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia surrendered. Saudi Arabia and Japan joined with ATO in Turkey.
America and Allies, and U.S.S.R. bring Germany to its knees (1986, 1987):The Lenin-Stalin OffensiveOn Aug 2nd, Mikhail Gorbachev, Premier of the U.S.S.R., made a speech claiming that he would restore the glory of the Soviet Union. On August 4th, he began the Lenin-Stalin Offensive (named after both Soviet leaders, who Gorbachev admired). The Red Army crossed the Ural mountains and began a long trudge to retake Moscow. German forces were stationed there but they were quickly overwhelmed. German reinforcements were sent from other fronts to stop the Soviets. They met the Red Army at Kudymker but the Soviets won.
With German forces having to reinforce the east, ATO forces in the west were able to make further advances. The invasion of Britain began and was being successful and by the end of September, Scotland and northern England were liberated. Madrid was taken and all of western France had been liberated to the Loire river. By late 1985, England and Wales were liberated. With the liberation of Britain, revolutions started throughout Western Europe. These revolutions were much more successful, even causing the Germans to retreat from Spain completely and barely west of the Rhine river.
The Soviets retake MoscowIn January 1986, the Red Army began the siege of Vladimir, taking the city by month's end. Gorbachev made a statement that Moscow, the crown of the U.S.S.R., was in arms length of the Red Army. On February 5th, the Soviets began the drive on Moscow. Gregory ordered that the Nazi Army not allow the Soviets the victory. What began was the bloodiest battle of the war. German forces initially halted the Red Army outside the city, causing heavy casualties for the Soviets, but they were determined to regain their ancient capital and eventually overwhelmed the Germans. The battle within the city itself began and lasted seven days; the casualties were enormous for both sides. By Feb 23rd, the Soviets had finally taken Moscow, with German forces fleeing west. Coupled with weather and casualties, just this single battle is estimated to have taken at least one million lives for both sides combined. Soviets across the nation rejoiced, and Gorbachev visited the nation and is reported to have kissed the ground where the Kremlin had once stood, but now was half burned down. Gorbachev gave medals to all soldiers of the Red Army who had been part of the battle. But even with this victory, Gorbachev galvanized the nation to take revenge on the Nazi empire. Reports by Nazi soldiers said that the Soviets fought like wild animals. Also, after the liberation of Moscow, Gorbachev ordered that KGB follow the army with a mission to find the remains of Stalin and Lenin.
Operation BismarkGregory knew that if ATO crossed the Rhine River, the war would be over. With this fear the remnants of the German Army began Operation Bismark. Using up the last of their reserves, thousands of German soldiers crossed the Rhine. The attack was successful in pushing ATO all the way to Paris. Both sides knew that victory was important, The Germans knew that if they won they could expel ATO out of Europe, America knew that the attack was a last desperate move, so if they won the rest of German Proper would fall easily.
One of the bloodiest battle began at Tours, France in Nov 1986. ATO reinforcements had finally arrived and caught up with the army. For 4 weeks both combatants fought fiercely, causalities were heavy for both sides. But eventually they managed to push back, slowly regaining lost lands. By March 1987 they reached the Rhine river, and by May they crossed into German Proper.
ATO Invasion of Balkan GermanyOn the Eastern Front, the Soviets had made huge gains, taking Warsaw by June 1987. Gregory ordered the full retreat of German forces to defend Berlin. By 1987, Australian forces joined ATO in Turkey (Australia, because of American aid had grown to a superpower.), and by July, Turkey surrendered. With the fall of Turkey, Germany was left alone with no allies. Not only that, but ATO forces landed in southeastern Europe, and into Greece, across the Aegean Sea, into Balkan Germany. Germany was now fighting a three-front war.
Nazi Germany Loses The War (1988):The Fall of BerlinBy mid 1988, Roman Germany fell to ATO, and the Americans took Bremen in German Proper, so close to Berlin. Belgrade in the Balkans fell to ATO. But the final blow came in August 1988 when the Soviets reached Berlin. The siege of the capital continued for three weeks until it finally fell to the Soviets. Soviet soldiers razed the city to the ground, killed many Germans, and massacred anyone who was suspected of having close ties to the Nazis. As well, the graves of Adolf Hitler and other key Nazi officials from the past were uncovered by the Soviets, and they destroyed the graves and burned the remains. They claimed it was revenge for the destruction of Moscow. KGB agent Vladimir Putin lead his group into the Nazi headquarters; what they found was astonishing. A walkway to the Fuehrer's chamber had tiles each with names of past leaders of Europe. Each one had the same saying "Here they lie, fallen worshiping the one true leader of the world for all eternity. Long Live The Fuehrer!" On two tiles were the names of Stalin and Lenin. Putin moved the slabs and found corpses, believed to be those of the two Soviet Leaders.
Then the KGB searched for Gregory but he had already fled the city. They feared that he already fled the country as well. The KGB went under high alert and moved to find Gregory. Three days later he would be found in Potsdam, just outside of Berlin, stopping him before he was able to board a airplane to South Africa. KGB then escorted him, and other key Nazi officials, back to the U.S.S.R. to stand trial against the Soviet people, also bringing the remains of Lenin and Stalin to be given a proper funeral.
Germany SurrendersWith Gregory gone, it was up to a military junta of key Nazi commanders to decide whether or not to continue the war. At a meeting in Flensburg, the acting German capital, they agreed that Germany had no hope to win. With that, and with officials from ATO and the U.S.S.R. attending, Nazi Germany unconditionally surrendered on September 2nd 1988.

It's not blue because it has been defeated, occupied, and assimilated by the reich, along with the rest of the European continent.

I think, though Britain would be forced to make peace, but would not be conquered or assimilated. It'd be really interesting if the politics of an independent Britain right across the Channel from a Nazi dominated Europe, would seesaw back and forth between right and left wing.

I actually didn't make this timeline, another person did. I'm not stealing his story, I'm just publishing it on here. All rights go to him.

Well it's a cool concept and I would like to see this time-line taken to the 1990's.
