Everything goes the same as historical, but this changes : Here it is.
PAX AUSTRIACA, What if everything went perfect for the Austrian Empire (1857-1910) ?
1st of January 1910
FIRST PERIOD (1857-1870) :
The Austrian Empire, after defeating Sardinia-Piedmont in the the Second Italian War of independence in the battle of Solferino and then the Battle of Milan, French and Italian forces finally surrendered. French Emperor, Napoleon III ordered the occupation of the rest of Sardinia-Piedmont, and then, peace was signed (Treaty of Venice) :
TREATY OF VENICE (1859)
The whole of Piedmont will be occupied by the French (except for minor territories (Novara) that will be occupied by the Lombardy-Venetia) , the rest of the Kingdom of Sardinia will become a French Puppet State, heavily relying to the French , but they need to pay 130 million francs to Austria for war reparations in 4 years (1865). Both sides called it a win , except the Italians , that considered this as a betrayal.
ITALIAN DOMINION (NORTH) :
After the Austrian victory in the war, Austria establishes the Italian Dominion, an unitary absolute monarchy under Maximilian I that controlled Lombardy- Venetia, + then former territories of Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Duchy of Parma, Duchy of Modena, and the Papal legations (Romagna) (so practically Emilia Romagna + Tuscany).
The Papal States after losing the "Papal Legations (Romagna)" to the Italian Dominion, joined the alliance against Austria, but some rebels that supported Austria started marching through Rome.
Fearing Austrian Influence in the Italian Peninsula , the United Kingdom starts funding the Two Sicilies with arms , cash and resources .
The Austrian Empire thanks to its little gains and resources from the war, Austria manages to reform, rebuild and stabilize faster.
The Second Schleswig War still happens (1864) and ends like OTL.
Prussia, realizing that Austria was getting too power-hungry , Prussia formed the "Northern German Confederation (NGC)" (an economic , military and political alliance) with Hanover, Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg, Oldenburg , Schleswig and other little Northern German states fearing Austrian Influence (1865), and they all seceded from the original German Confederation .
Prussia effectively seceded from the existing federal structure without the consent of the Diet in Frankfurt , so Austria declared this an act of rebellion and betrayal against the legitimate Confederation , they sent an ultimatum : the NGC shall dissolve , and Prussia must pay back for damages . Prussia refused,
So Austria declared war to defend the “Prussian Occupied Northern States”(1866).
But because of Northern German disorganization and chaos, the Austrians managed to do a successful offensives, first in Saxony, Silesia, and then finally into Berlin (12th of September).
After the fall of Berlin , the Second French Empire took this opportunity and occupied the Rhineland, the British protested this occupation and proposed to mediate peace.
The Northern German Confederation surrendered, and peace was signed (Treaty of Frankfurt) :
TREATY OF FRANKFURT (1867)
The Northern German Confederation will be dissolved.
The German Confederation will be evolved and will be transformed into the German Federation, under Austrian control, with the parliament that moved in Vienna. The German Confederation will continue to still technically exist but now just as an economic and quasi-political union , and Prussia joins the German Confederation .
Other former German Confederation states (will become Austrian controlled territories) and become the German Federation (Austria) .
Prussia needs to pay 40 million francs to Austria in 5 years. Prussia will also lose the whole of the Rhineland to France, Silesia and Schleswig-Holstein to Austria. Saxony will also gain the "Electorate" status and will also gain “Halle”. Prussia will be restored as an Parliamentary Constitutional Kingdom under Heavy Austrian Influence.
France , Prussia and Austria have now all together a 10 year non-aggression pact .
Austria will be recognized from now on as : "Federal Kingdom of Germania", also known as Germania.
France also buys Luxembourg (1869, tensions rise)
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
SECOND PERIOD (1870-1895) :
Austria, now known as Germania became a major power, becoming one of the strongest countries in the world.
Because of this French Emperor Napoleon III,and the Russian Tsar made a military alliance against Germania (in 1872) called the Entente. Napoleon III ordered to build a fortified, defensive line in the Rheinish border, because of this, Germany planned to invade France through the Netherlands and Belgium.
In 1877, Germania being neutral in the Russo-Turkish war, invaded and occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina to have more Balkan Influence; France and Russia took this opportunity as a causae belli since this expansion was seen as “too aggressive” by the Russian Empire, which wanted to block Germanian Influence in the Balkans.
They sent an ultimatum to the Austrians, which refused, officially starting the First European War (1886-1890), France and Russia declared war at Germania.
FIRST EUROPA KRIEG (FEK)
After the French and Russian declaration of war, Germania enacted its plan, the invasion of Belgium and the Netherlands, violating the London Treaty (Belgian Neutrality), giving London an excuse to join the war against Germania.
Germania , marched and conquered the Benelux countries in just 30 days, stopping at Calais at first, and then marched in Paris in 9 months. Paris had fallen. Emperor Napoleon III fled south to Bordeaux, establishing a rump government, while British forces withdrew across the Channel, imposing a total naval blockade on Germania’s northern ports.
France decided to make a peace treaty in the end because of massive economic costs and internal munities .
Russia started to advance in Galicia, and East Prussian territories, but some days after successful offensives, it started to lose, first in Krakow, then in Lublin, and then finally, also thanks to the Prussians in Warsaw (early 1888).
In October 1887, exactly seventeen months after the opening shots, Germanian troops marched down the Champs-Élysées.
ITALIAN Peninsula in the FEK :
When the UK entered the war in late 1886 following the invasion of Belgium, the Two Sicilies immediately mobilized.
The Neapolitan Army, heavily reinforced by British officers and marine units, launched a massive offensive northward. Their goal was to march up the boot, overthrow the Austrian puppet regimes, and seize the rich industrial centers of Milan and Venice. The Southern fleet, operating in tandem with the British Royal Navy, successfully blockaded the Adriatic, cutting off the Austrian port of Trieste and conquering the strategic island of Corfu from the Ottomans in 1889 to secure total naval dominance.
In 1889 the Germanians tried to form pro-Austrian and secular republican rebels within the Papal States, launched a violent internal uprising, attempting to overthrow the Pope's temporal rule and declare a Republic that would align with Vienna. Because of this Neapolitan and British Forces needed to retreat to put the uprisings down .
ENDING BORDERS , Treaty of Brussels (1890) :
The First Europakrieg (First European War) ends the 15th March 1890 with a stalemate, no one really wins the war DECISIVELY (the Treaty of Brussels) :
Russia loses all of Poland to Prussia, that gains 1800's territories, and Galicia-Logodomeria (Germanian Puppet) that gains the rest of Poland (also 1800's territories),
The Grand Duchy of Finland is under a personal union by the Kingdom of Sweden-Norway, Moldavia is gained by a United Romanian State (that also got Dobruja). Russia turns (because of a mid war coup) into a Democratic Oligarchic Republic.
France loses Piedmont and Valle D’Aosta to the Italian Dominion (Remember the Italian Dominion is an Austrian Puppet state). Liguria became a free and independent republic, also getting Corsica (Genoan Republic) . France also loses Alsace-Lorraine and Calais, and it's forced to pay 330 millions francs all to Germania.
This causes hyper-inflation and corruption, causing the 2nd French Revolution, where the Nationalists Orleanists took control, making France an absolute monarchy once again.
Prussia also took the Rheinish territories once again, with also niege, namur, maastricht, Luxembourg and arlon from Belgium.
The rest of the Benelux region (Belgium and the Netherlands) were forced to be united to be a puppet (Prusso/Germanian Dominion), while Amsterdam and other Belgian ports were fully occupied by the Germanians.
The United Kingdom took the rest of the Netherlands and Belgian colonies.
Denmark will become a German-Swede protectorate with still the King in power.
The Italian Confederation was formed between the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, with the Kingdom of Two Sicilies in command (in 1892) to counter the Germanians. Corsica, soon after, gets independent from Genoa and joins the Italian Confederation .
The Papal States remains independent under the Pope. They only have : Lazio, Marittima e Campagna, and Marche. They are guaranteed by Britain , Russia and Germania .
Prussia (that is an independent constitutional unitary republic btw) will also get Schleswig-Holstein and still remain in the German Confederation (but will probably leave it in some time to not be influenced by Germania (Austria)).
There was also a full own revolution and rebellions in the Ottoman Territories, making them collapse and see their own demise (1889) :
Serbia gets independent from the Ottomans and Germanians (the Austrians), expands, and unites after a brutal rebellion in 1890 (1st Balkan Revolution) , with Bulgaria and Montenegro under an United Pan Slavic Banner, with its capital in Sofia, the South Pan Slavic State (SPS) is a strong militarist state . The SPS loses Mačva to Illyria.
The Kingdom of Greece unites most of the southern Balkans , Edirne + all of Eastern Rumelia, Macedonia and Albania, all under the Hellenic Boot (as well as modern day Greek territories except Corfu) . Corfu is conquered and annexed to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies ( Italian Confederation) .
Constantinople (+Marmara province) area is turned into the Free State of Byzantium that is an Internationally Controlled State (Germania, UK, Russia, Greece, Prussia), that is a constitutional, modern, and developing monarchy.
Anatolia (Main Turkey) will be occupied and basically turned into a Dominion by the British Empire and the rest of the Ottoman Empire , Iraq is occupied by Persia, meanwhile Syria , Lebanon , Palestine and Jordan are controlled by the French.

GERMANIAN CON-FEDERATION (Austrian Internal Dominions) :
Germania reformed and turned into a Federation with this states, they gained a bit more autonomy:
The Kingdom of Bohemia:
Bohemia controls modern day Czech Republic territories + Silesia. The most educated and most industrialized part of the Austrian/Germanian Empire. Bohemia occupies a highly unique, technocratic position within the Federation. Officially designated as an autonomous constituent Kingdom, its relationship with Vienna is defined by economic codependency rather than dynastic sentimentality. The Bohemian Landtag enjoys complete domestic authority over education, municipal infrastructure, regional taxation, and labor laws.
Kingdom of Hungary:
Controls the territories of the Kingdom of Hungary (1900) and is the dominant dominion in the Austrian Empire. Having the most autonomy out of all the Germanian dominions. Among all the dominions within the reformed Federation, the Kingdom of Hungary commands the most sweeping, unyielding levels of sovereignty. Following the structural shifts of 1892, the Hungarian political elite, dominated by the fiercely nationalistic Magyar aristocracy (Magnates), made it clear that any attempt to completely dissolve their historic statehood would result in a catastrophic civil war. In response, Kaiser Franz Joseph preserved the historic Compromise framework, adjusting it to the federal model. Hungary maintains its own independent standing army units (the Honvédség), its own independent national treasury, and absolute veto power over any federal tariff adjustments or international trade treaties proposed by the central Reichstag in Vienna.
Dominion of Croatia-Slavonia (Illyria):
This dominion controls modern day Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (without Dalmatia and Istria (Parts of Germania proper)), having a growing tourism and cultural economy, starting to develop really fast. It was intentionally carved out by Vienna to solve two existential threats simultaneously: the overbearing political weight of Hungary, and the dangerous allure of the neighboring, hyper-militant South Pan-Slavic State (Serbia-Bulgaria). By stripping Croatia-Slavonia away from Hungarian jurisdiction and merging it with the newly won, resource-rich territory of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Habsburgs created a powerful, autonomous Third Slavic Bloc within the Empire.
Kingdom of Galicia-Lodomeria (also known as Poland) :
Controls all the territories of Galicia Lodomeria (+some minor Polish territories gained in the First Europa Krieg) , and is one the most autonomous dominions in the Germanian Federation. It has got an agricultural economy with its capital in Krakow. Galicia-Lodomeria exists as a brilliant, highly successful anomaly within the Germanian system: a Polish-dominated state that is passionately loyal to the House of Habsburg. Following the total collapse of the Tsarist Russian Empire and the subsequent humiliation of the Prussian state, Vienna positioned Galicia-Lodomeria as the "True Poland." The Kingdom was granted an extraordinary level of legislative and cultural independence. The Polish language is absolute in all schools, universities, courts, and administrative bureaus. The Sejm (Diet) in Kraków possesses total control over the region's internal budgets.

GERMANIAN FEDERATION
2 separate entities united by the German Federation :
Süden Germania (South Germany):
The biggest state, Süden Germania, capital in Vienna, center of the world, economics and technological, intellectual hub.
It contains these territories: Bavaria, Baden, Wurttemberg, Austria, Istria, Tyrol, Trieste.
Norden Germania (North Germany) :
North Germania, containing most of Northern German Territories (except Prussia's) (for example: Saxony, Frankfurt, Hamburg,
Hanover and other duchies).
THIRD PERIOD (1895-1910)
In this period of time Europe managed to develop really fast, this period of time is called "Belle Epoque", where it was characterized by economic, technological and industrialization.
So let's talk about most of the countries in Europe (1910) :
Kingdom of Portugal:
A over century old monarchic state, is starting to waking up, they've become a semi-constitutional monarchy after being officially neutral but still supporting militarily the British and French against the Germanians in the First Europa Krieg (1890).
Kingdom of Spain :
The Kingdom of Spain, ruled by a part of the Honerzollen Family, Leopold I, after being elected king. But since the Northern German Confederation got defeated in the Austro-Prussian War, they brought in Spain: Northern German Money, the German Royal Family, loyalists, and in particular, militarism.
So, the Kingdom of Spain is growing, being mostly a neutral power since 1867, but as of now, Spain is more Nationalistic than ever to regain German (Prussian) Lands.
Kingdom of France :
After its defeat in the First Europa Krieg, it got itself into a revolution, because of famines, hyperinflation and the loss of war, marking the return of the Orleans Monarchy (1899) .
France lost Alsaze-Lorraine and Calais to Germania, also Corsica, minor territories near Piedmont and much, much more territories, because of this more than 50000 Nationalist French People marched through Paris in 1897.
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland:
The UK joined the First Europakrieg in late 1886 against Germania, after they invaded neutral Belgium and Netherlands. The UK left this war as a loser, without losing any major English Territories, just losing a ton of men (437.000 men) and major influence in the Italian Peninsula . They've actually gained major territories such as Iceland (from Denmark) and Anatolia.
There was also a major Irish Uprising funded by the Germanians that failed (1892).
The Irish may try to rebel once again in the future.
The English have still (for now) the biggest economy and navy in the world.
Italian Confederation (South Italy) :
This country is composed of :" Corsican Republic, Kingdom of Sardinia, Kingdom of Two Sicilies", Three states with really different histories.
For example the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (KTS) was firstly dependent on Great Britain, the Kingdom of Sardinia (KS) was dependent on the French, and Corsica was part of the Genoan Republic.
After the first Europakrieg the Italian Confederation was composed of just the KS and the KTS that both just got their independence from their former rulers. Then after Corsica got its independence from Genoa they've united too. This union exists to contrast major European countries (in particular France and Austria) that want influence or control over Italy.
The UK is still the biggest investor but the United States is starting to invest faster too.
Because of these big investments the Italian Confederation manages to have minor colonial gains in Africa, for example in Tunisia (that was granted by the British and the French after the first Europakrieg), and it's starting to expand in Eritrea too.
The Papal States :
The Papal States were officially neutral in the First Europakrieg, but still got invaded by the Italian Dominion (Austrian Puppet) in the North and by the Two Sicilies (British Puppet) in the south. There was also a major rebellion (1887) here, where many people tried to establish a republic (siding with the Austrians/Germanians) .
After the Europa Krieg, the Papal States were forced (kind of) to be a neutral power, having their own volunteer force and having the Swiss Guard as their major military force. They control most of Central Italy, they have only: Lazio, Marittima e Campagna, and Marche.
Kingdom of Sweden-Norway :
The United Kingdom of Sweden-Norway, established in 1814 during the Napoleonic Wars, not only endured but also expanded its influence during the First Europakrieg. In that conflict, it seized the Grand Duchy of Finland from the Russian Empire and incorporated it into the Kingdom. These successes transformed Sweden-Norway into a great confederation, while Finland remained an autonomous state under the general dominance of the Swedish-Norwegian crown.
Russian Republic :
The Russian Republic emerged after its defeat in the First Europa Krieg (1890), during which it lost all of Congress Poland to Prussia and Galicia–Lodomeria (Germanian Dominion) —territories divided along the old Third Polish Partition borders (Prussia and "Germanian Federation" Polish Congress partition (North to Prussia and South to the dominion of Galicia-Lodomeria ).
In the aftermath of the loss, a group of revolutionaries launched a coup in Moscow, overthrowing the monarchy and executing Tsar Alexander III. A plutocratic democratic regime was subsequently established, marking the end of imperial rule.
Nicholas II, the late tsar’s son, escaped to England with a loyal contingent of generals and roughly 15,000 men. He now lives in Scotland, where he plots a future campaign to reclaim Russia and restore the monarchy.
Despite the new government’s promises of progress, the Russian State remains largely agrarian, though efforts toward industrialization have begun under the leadership of elected Prime Minister Pyotr Stolypin (1909).
Genoan Republic :
The Genoan Republic is an independent state that controls Liguria and is surrounded by the Italian Dominion and has a small border with France in the west.
It emerged in the aftermath of the First Europakrieg gaining independence from the French Empire (1890), becoming a Democratic Republic It was forced to be fully neutral, now the country stands incircled by the Italian Dominion in the North and East, France in the West and the Italian Confederation in the south (divided by sea).
Many intellectuals flee from other Italian States to escape authoritarianism to go to the Genoan Republic, this supports the small nation's economy, intelligence and education.
There are 4 different main political ideologies groups growing in Genoa :
1 : Christian Democratic Union (UDC) : Liberalism, Christian Democracy, Social Conservatism.
2 : Federalist Italy Alliance (AFI) : Federalism, Progressivism , Pan-Italianism.
3 : Partito Liberale Nazionale (PLN) : Aristocracy, Pro-Germanism, Authoritarianism, National Conservatism.
4 : Marxist-Syndicalist Party (PMS) : Syndicalism, Socialism, Anarchists.
This country has so much potential thanks to its versatile position in European Politics. It's getting invested by mostly all of its neighboring countries (Russia, Germania, UK, USA) starting to develop really fast becoming a center of culture and democracy.
It still has dire relations with countries like the Italian Confederation because of the Corsican Crisis (Corsica joining the IC, leaving Genoa).
Prussian Republic:
Prussia, once the undisputed unifier of Germany, now, not even close. Since the Napoleonic Wars Prussia began modernizing its army to its fullest, but because of major humiliations and loss of legitimacy (1848 revolutions and the First Schleswig War) in the German People, the Kingdom of Prussia began going downhill (1850 onwards), leading to mass migration to the other German States.
In 1865 the Second Schleswig War started, leading to a Danish defeat made Prussia grow more confident and tried to form a Northern German Confederation (NGC) (with Hanover, etc..) to counter Austria's influence. This failed spectacularly. Austria demanded the dissolution of the NGC and compensation of the damages, but Prussia refused leading to the Austro-Prussian War (I explained it earlier). In 1869, Prussia lost and surrendered to the powerful Austrians (and French) , leading to the Treaty of Frankfurt.
The Honerzollen family fled Prussia going to the Kingdom of Spain, bringing their gold, money, loyalists and militarism.
Now Prussia stands as a democratic , unstable republic.
What if the Axis lost WW2?
Everything goes the same as historical, but this changes :
Here it is.
What if the AXIS lost WW2 (alternative timeline) ? :
1st of January 1952 :
After the final battle of WW2, the Battle of Germania (1946) the AXIS finally surrendered, splitting up Europe into 2 parts, a ”RED” part , Eastern Europe , and a “BLUE” part , Western Europe.
GERMANY:
After WW2, most of Europe got fragmented, in particular Germany. Germany, the country that fought all of its neighbors and won, was too strong to be left united under a single banner, and the Allies decided to split Europe in half.
The allies unique plan to divide Europe (signed in the 11th of November 1946) after the end of the war (the 28th of April 1946) , is the Treaty of Nuremberg :
- Northern German Confederation (NGC): The Northern German Confederation, is a Confederal Constitutional Monarchy (that is aligned with the US and the CFN ) . It's also the founder of the Mitte European Union (MEU) , “united” to help each other and to pay war reparations (10 billion) in 10 years (currently 6 years) to the USA and UK.
The NGC controls most of Northern Germany, precisely its composed by :
Frankfurt (capital) , Bremen, Hannover, Bielefeld, Münster, Dortmund, Kassel, Magdeburg, Halle, Erfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig.
The Rhineland is controlled by the Western Allies (France (that also annexed the Saarland until 1952, where it will go back to the Rhineland) , UK, USA) and is an "International State", it will be occupied until 1954 and forced NOT to unite with Germany. The allies will have resource rights in exchange to not let Germany pay war reparations. The Rhineland is a Semi-Sovereign Parliamentary Republic, having a parliament and the "Bundestag" in Cologne (the capital) . Mostly controlled government by the French and in particular by the Northern German Confederation , paying reparations to the allies. Having a maximum of 4 political parties and 75k native men in the army (most of the occupiers and the army in general is composed by United Nations members).
- People's Democratic of Prussia (PDP):
Occupied by the Soviets at the end of the war, the PDP was established the 1st of January 1948, just some months in the aftermath of the Treaty of Nuremberg. The PDP is a People's Democratic Republic (practically a Socialist State that tries to maintain some traditions (particularly Prussian ones) with a socialist economy with Prussian characteristics) , mostly controlled and particularly aligned with the Soviet Union , now called Eurasia.
The territories it controls are precisely:
Lübeck, Schwerin, Rostock, Neubrandenburg, Potsdam, Dresden, Berlin (all of It + being demilitarized, still the Capital), Cottbus, Szczecin, Gorzów, Zielona Góra, Legnica, Słupsk, Koszalin and Konigsberg.
A port in Konisberg is forced to be part of the Baltic Soviet Republic (there are no more Lithuan, Latvian and Estonian SR's, now only Baltic) to maintain more control in the Baltic Sea . Silesia and the Southern of East Prussia and some (really small) Pomeranian borders adjustments will be given to the Polish People's Republic. Kiel is also fully given and annexed by Denmark. The PDG is forced to have a max of 175k men in the army.
The Reichstag is also burned to the ground by the People's Democratic Republic.
- South German Republic (SGR) :
The South German Republic, a country that is a Federal Parliamentary Republic under US protection. The SGR consists of:
Baden, Wuttenburg, Bavaria, South Tyrol and West of Osterreich (West of Austria (Western Allied Austrian Occupied Territories) ). It's not allowed to join the NGC or to unite Germany in general (at least for now) without allied consent. It has a growing fast economy thanks to its big neutral alignment in Europe in general and thanks to its raw resources.
The Rhineland, the Northern German Confederation, the South German Republic , Switzerland (observer) and Liechtenstein all joined into one single economical, confederational (quasi-political) union (called "Mitte European Union (MEU)”) , with its little parliament in Frankfurt. Creating a strong economical union, not PRO-CFN (independent from it), pretty neutralized and composed only of the countries I mentioned before. The MEU will have free trade of goods and limited labor mobility between its members.
USA:
The United States of America, stronghold of “democracy, liberty and capitalism”, suffering the least and getting the most in the World War. They got all of western Europe on their part, all allied into the Coalition of Free Nations (CFN) , that is composed by : USA, UK, Canada, France, Kingdom of Italy, Benelux, NGC, SGR, the Rhineland, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, (economically, technologically and almost politically) Kingdom of Sweden.
Starting the Marshall Plan in 1947, trying to rebuild most of Europe, America has invested 20 billion dollars to Western European Countries (the USSR kind of did the same thing but only gave 6 billion to the Eastern Socialist European Countries, gambling its economy). The US also annexed Greenland, Tsingtao and they have much more influence in Japan and Canada in particular , annexing New Brunswick and Nova Scotia island .
REST OF AMERICAS :
The end of the Second World War initiated a really strong and steady Nazi - Fascist immigration to the Americas (Central and South America in particular) that lasted from 1944 till 1947, and about ≈157.000 fled . Many of these Nazis fled disguised , and they are now forming new movements , to restore an Anti US and Anti Soviet policy and to go back to their homelands.
In 1947 Nicaragua entered a period of growing instability. In 1948–1949, widespread unrest had emerged. Workers in Managua, León, and Chinandega organized massive strikes that quickly evolved beyond economic demands. Calls for higher wages turned into demands for full workers’ control of industry, land redistribution, and the complete removal of foreign influence from the national economy. As protests escalated, parts of the military began to defect, joining the growing revolutionary movement. The 17th of March 1950, a coalition of syndicalist militias, trade unions, and defecting army units marched into Managua, overthrowing the government . Now Nicaragua is heavily funded by Eurasia .
EUROPE:
After World War Two found itself split between East and West, one side being Capitalist and the other Socialist/Communist/Leftist . Let's look deeper in the parts of europe:
- Western Europe :
After the French fell to the Germans in 1940 , it seemed like it was going to be the start of a New Order , but the allies managed to win the Second World War by pure luck thanks to the American Eagle and the Russian Bear , starting the rise of new tensions between the two new super powers.
France : it got more land getting the Saarland, Indochina (integrating Siam in French Indochina, now also known as "French East Asia" creating a strong economically and militarily but weak internal dominion) , West Libya , exploiting its resources for French Oil Companies , and Mosul , because of the Iraqi occupation between the Great Powers (UK , France , and Eurasia) in the aftermath of the war.
UK : It got the East of Libya , giving simultaneously to the local Libyan Government, creating Senusyya once again . The British also gained some parts of Italian Somalia (South and Bosaso), while Ethiopia got Central Somalia and Eritrea .
In the center of Africa the "Dominion de l'Afrique Centrale (Dominion of Central Africa) (DAC) " a Central African New state now exists with its economy depending from U.N and allied loans (The allies decided to create this nation to give the Africans some experience at governing themselves at least), the DAC controls these territories: Central African Republic, Cameroon (German Controlled Cameroon borders), Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and Equatorial Guinea (occupied by the Allies in the war).
The UN is organizing to make the African Nations independent (probably in 1953).
Italy: Italy is transformed into a Constitutional Federal (a mist of the German Empire and modern day Japan) Monarchy, they lost their colonies, South Tyrol and Trieste and stability is collapsing because of partisans not being satisfied by the federal government, violence in the streets are becoming more and more common ,but the government is trying its best to develop the Italian economy and military , but it’s still mostly failing .
Iberia: Spain is still recovering from the civil war, and Portugal is still the same practically as our OTL , but Iberia is starting to talk about a Unification Program to integrate their economies and to be independent from foreign trade .
Benelux ( Lubenet ) : Be lgium, Ne therlands, and Lux embourg are fully united as per the Treaty of London that after the restoration of the Governments the countries will unite into one single unitary kingdom called: " The United Kingdom of Benelux ( Lubenet )".
Nordics : Norway was harassed by the German and Soviet forces in WW2, and even though Germany lost... Norway also lost, losing Vadso and Alta to the Finnish Soviet Republic (a puppet of the Soviet Union), so to reinforce the country they joined the Coalition of Free Nations (CFN) in 1948.Sweden is almost neutral about joining the CFN, only joining economically and technologically just because of the fear of a Soviet invasion in the north. Finland got absorbed into the Soviet Union, as it was forced to be a puppet of them (a Soviet Socialist Republic) , they still got a little autonomy from them. The red flag flies in Helsinki.
- Eastern Europe :
Poland, as I said before, gained only the southern of East Prussia region, and Silesia. It also controls : Lviv, Drohobych, but still lost Suwalki and Bialystok from the Soviets. Czechoslovakia is the same practically, just being a little bigger in the Carpatho-Ukrainian region. East Osterreich (East Austria) is established in the Treaty of Nuremberg, being a Syndicalist Republic (being the first in the world to be so), East Austria controls Vienna, Krems an der Donau, Graz, Sankt Polten,and lost Burgenland to the Hungarian Council Republic. Yugoslavia remains under Tito and manages to unite with Bulgaria and splitting Albania (north controlled from Yugoslavia and the South being controlled by Greece). Yugoslavia is Democratic Socialist Republic, aligned with the USSR and starting to unite even more internally.
All of the Eastern Leftists State with the exception of Eurasia , formed their own big own military and economic union “Ost-Pakt (OPK)” with its headquarters in Berlin (PDP)
Trieste is a free “democratic” state, neutral and protected by both the CFN and EURASIA , its population is composed by Cossacks (from Kosakenland) and Chetniks , Romania is literally the same as OTL, just didn't lose the province of Hertsa.
Greece remains a constitutional monarchy with a thriving economy and with just little instability ! Being actually one of the strongest and most influential countries in the Balkans, being a beacon of Freedom and Democrazia. But the Greek Army has other ideas for the state.
EURASIA (The Soviet Union):
The Union of Eurasian Soviet Republics, a country that survived the thunder of WW2, defeated Germany and gained a lot, like influence in Eastern Europe, but not only that, it also gained :
Northern Persia, establishing a Soviet Republic there (the Northern Persian SR also gains Erbil, Kirkuk, Tikrit, Sulaymaniyah (Iraqi provinces) the south is under the control of the allies that have established a friendly regime under the Persian Shah. The USSR also annexed and occupied some little islands in Japan, like Hokkaido, while the rest of mainland Japan is occupied by the Allies. Taiwan / Formosa is occupied by the Chinese National Government, becoming the Republic of Formosa while Korea is fully occupied by the Soviets forming the Democratic Republic of Korea (that's syndicalist), the Soviets also occupied Northern China, like Manchuria, Shaanxi, Ma clique and Xinjiang Clique forming the East Chinese Soviet Republic (Manchuria), and the Socialist Reclamation Chinese Government ( the rest of China). While the rest of China is under the Nationalists.
EURASIA is in an alliance, called: Union of Eurasian Republics: USSR (Eurasia), Poland, Finland, Romania, Hungary, East Germany, East Austria, Yugoslavia, Chinas, Czechoslovakia, and North Persia. Uniting all these countries economically and militarily.
REST OF ASIA :
Japan :
The collapse and surrender of the Japanese Empire on the 24th of September 1946, signed by the American Invasion of mainland Japan ended up with its division and of its colonies .
The treaty to split up Japan (Treaty of Washington) stated that:
All of mainland Japan was occupied by America until the release of the newly formed “Japanese Republic” , with the Emperor executed as a war criminal in 1947 .
Now , Japan is a beacon of instability and unrest , soldiers of America (about 100.000 men) , till the end of instability still remain there to maintain at least some form of “stability” .
But still Japan is technically an independent state .
Eurasia will gain Hokkaido .
