In 21st Century

Cause of the Civil War
Germany had finally united in 2023 after the eastern part of Germany moved completely away from the Soviets. A new ideology had risen from the ashes of conservatism, socialism and nationalism: Confederatism, a blend of the three. Due to this, the Social Democratic and neo-Socialist parties of the German Republic continued to win annual, Weimar-like elections by slighter and slighter margins. Meanwhile, the Confederatic party expanded yearly, finally gaining total power in all branches of the government. The Soviets, bitter after losing all of their European satellite states, decided to fund neo-Socialist extremists in their bid for power as part of Project 600. In 2027, after Confederatists barely won the elections, the neo-Socialist party, riding off of popularity from the previous pre-unification East German government, started massive riots in Eastern Germany, where they had established their base. This eventually led to the Confederatists doing the same, and thus leading to the civil war.

The civil war had officially begun in 2027 after months of far left rioting on the streets, under the banner of the “People’s Front,” against the new right wing government. The Soviet government at this time had finally given the neo-Socialist Party enough funding to start a civil war against the Confederatists to, in the minds of the Soviets, hopefully return a single country to their sphere (under the directive of Project 600) to prevent losing the Cold War. However, the Americans began funding the Confederatists due to their similar ideologies and the defense of another European ally against the Soviets.

The Civil War Begins
Neo-Socialists started fighting the Confederatists and the riots escalated into battles. The fronts started to organize as militias formed, cities were captured, and these militias spread. Despite being in control of the military, the Confederatists continued to be pushed further and further back as soldiers, even experienced ones, defected to the People’s Front, a crippling blow. By the end of 2028, it seemed like the People’s Front of Germany would beat the Confederatists in the civil war. The Confederatists had lost many major cities and were barely holding on to their western territories.

The Tide Turns

It seemed like any day now the Neo-Socialists would breach the Rhine River and finally reinstate a neo-Socialist government in Germany, until something miraculous: the German version of the Miracle at the Vistula, you could say. The People’s Front went all in at the crossing of the Rhine and Battle of Cologne with 300,000 soldiers; a massive mistake in hindsight. The Confederatists had coincidentally also planned to cross the river just a couple days later, so they let the People’s Front forces dig in to Cologne and then -- the Confederatists rushed across the Rhine and cut off the supply connection to Cologne, additionally destroying the People’s Front’s forward air force. Cologne was assaulted for nearly a week before surrendering to the Confederatist forces; almost half of the initial neo-Socialist force became prisoners. After this, The People’s Front’s spirit and morale collapsed. With the encirclement, the neo-Socialists had lost an incredible amount of elite forces for that front, and this effectively lost them the war. This marked the turning point in the war. The People’s Front was forced all the way back to Berlin, with them losing Berlin and surrendering on February 2nd, 2030. The German Civil War had been long and costly and it would be years before Germany could recover.

European Commonwealth (2041-)

 * 2041: The Economic Union was reformed to be modernized


 * 2041: Poland, Hungary and a unified Germany together intervened in Czechoslovakia to prevent its civil war officially and succeeded. However the conflict still simmers as a partisan conflict by 2120.


 * Basics
 * The Economic Union was reformed in the Treaty of Verdun as a pan-European economic alliance which is far more centralized than the EU (in this timeline, as it’s still a little decentralized)
 * Reformation with the Treaty of Frankfurt in 2051 into a political, economic, and military alliance with German influence eventually taking away the leading role of the union from the French in 2053.


 * In 2051, the European Commonwealth reformed into a political, economic, and military alliance with the onset of the 2nd Great Depression with the Treaty of Frankfurt. Elections were held throughout Europe as the new European Parliament began its first session, nominating a French President in 2051, who served a two-year term and was outed in 2053. Later in the year, a German President took control and began to centralize power to himself, and indirectly set the precedent for the German authoritarians who would succeed him in the name of “the extraordinary time that is this economic crisis.”
 * 2053 - With German control assured the ECETF (European Commonwealth Economic Trust Fund) is created as to allocate funding to the major nations to recover from the Second Great Depression, most notably beginning with funding the recovery of France and Germany first.
 * 2054 - The Partition of Switzerland - Switzerland has issued an ultimatum following their nationalization of foreign assets as a pretext to divide the country along ethnic lines for France, Entoria (Italy), and Germany. The Swiss capitulated to the ultimatum, but the government fled to the Alpine Mountains before it could be dissolved by encroaching foreign forces. The Swiss Government still continues resistance against all three powers in a low-intensity conflict as the propaganda of the 3 nations has begun to take effect.


 * 2058: European Mark is introduced across the European Commonwealth.
 * 2060: The Great Oil Crisis begins.
 * 2060: The Energy Rationing Act is put into place to combat, or at least delay the effects of the Great Oil Crisis.
 * 2062: Germany begins to take a 20% cut of all French nuclear energy to “fund the Recovery efforts.”
 * 2065 July: France and Germany recover fully from the Second Great Depression, and are able to send more funding into the ECETF to inject cash into the European economy.
 * 2065 December: France develops fusion nuclear reactors.
 * 2066: Germany begins to assert its economic dominance in the European Commonwealth, threatening the withdrawal of subsidies on other nations for those which do not align themselves with their agenda.
 * 2066: All of Europe falls behind the German prerogative, and begins to go green, with the creation of biofuels, wind/solar power and hydroelectric dams, much to the detriment of Southern Europe’s agricultural economy. becoming the norm.
 * 2069: Europe recovers fully from the Second Great Depression, as Germany solidifies its position as hegemon of Europe, and begins to send BND agents across Europe for “Internal Security.”
 * 2072: The BND under German direction begins to subvert the European Commonwealth’s member states’ governments and internal politics. Silencing pro-independence leaders, spreading general terror and fear for going against the Germans.
 * 2074: The BND begins open subversion of European democratic procedures, and causes the fall of the French government, being replaced with a pro-German one.
 * 2076-2091: The Commonwealth economy prospers, even as the people suffer under the culture of informants and repression.
 * 2091: 50 Year celebration of the European Commonwealth is interrupted by a peaceful mass protest in Spain, Poland, ex-Czechia, ex-Switzerland, Greece, and Portugal. “The 50 Year Massacre” as it was later called occurs and the Commonwealth-censured media doesn’t report on it, but word of the massacre spreads by word of mouth. The protests had been met with violent repression and machine gun fire. Hundreds were killed, and the governments of these nations were replaced with more “effective” ones, as repression doubled in these nations resulting in public executions, and the beginning of mass unrest began to spread in the EC as discontent with the German leadership began to truly make itself manifest, especially in ex-Czechia and ex-Switzerland whose partisan movement, once seemingly was on the verge of death, began to swell in numbers and become far more active, committing acts of violence on those who had taken their freedom.

Formation of the New USA (The New Federalist Party comes to power NADC dissolved)  (January 2049)
The turmoil of the Cold War led to many believing that the old order should be replaced; demanding change. People abused their freedoms, rioting wanting the Cold War to end. In the midst of the crisis, people started rallying under Schumer Patlerson, a leader willing to purportedly ‘stand up’ for the people in these dark times. Abusing the revolutionaries' anger, he promised to end the Cold War and return America to glory. Through the course of multiple elections, including ones of resignation of opposition candidates, the dictator’s party took total control of America in the elections of 2050, marking the end of American Freedom, Liberty and Democracy; for Schumer did not want true democracy, but rather authoritarianism.

Pacific States declare their independence during West Coast riots (December 2049)
The Pacific States of America (PSA), also known as the ‘Old Order’ by the Federalist Party, declared their independence during the onslaught of the Federalist takeover. With the American economy crippled by the new party, the PSA saw their chance, launching the War of Integrity which lasted 1 year in the states bordering the Pacific Ocean. With their freedoms and liberties being stripped away, the governors of the states saw no other choice but to break away in order to, as they called it, ‘Keep the Ideas of the America of old.’ With a lack of firm control and millions of people rioting, the Federalist Party, in order to keep the riots from spilling over to other states, reluctantly let them go.

Treaty of Denver: Pacific States nominally under control of USA (January 22th 2050 USA-PSA)
Only one year after the ‘War of Integrity,’ the American continent was under an invasion of foreign influence: both the PSA and Atlantic Federation were worried by this growing, possibly dangerous, influence. The two states considered action, but the straw that broke the Camel's back was the Cyborg Attack on Detroit, where hacked cyborgs gunned down 8000 civilians -- a massacre likely programmed by foreign agents. Despite not knowing their origins, the PSA and the USA put aside their differences and signed the Treaty of Denver, stipulating that the PSA will be formally under the control of the USA again, but are however allowed to keep their original rights while also being called an autonomous region of the USA. The PSA however did agree to integrate its military and economy.

Detroit Crisis (January 10th 2050)
The Detroit Crisis was a massive attack on the robotics present in the City, Robots and people with cybernetic implants were hacked, and people without any warning were suddenly assaulted by their own robots; it was not even a fight, it was a slaughter. The attack lasted 20 minutes, but those 20 minutes were enough to kill over 8000 people. The Military retook control over the robots while also deploying military personnel and VTOL planes to attack the robots in the 20 minutes that it took to retake control. After thorough investigation, the attack turned out to be done by an ultra socialist organisation set up by foreign powers in the moment of weakness during the economic slump.

Formation of Dixie, Washington, and Workers Protectorate in December 2055 (Pact Of Washington signed in January 2053)
2054 was another year of chaos for the USA. The Washington Order, an organisation of fused mega-corporations whose main products were research and ships had stayed loyal to the old US Government due to grants given and high autonomy; however with the change in leadership, they felt threatened and after the PSA formed, they too wanted to move to total independence. And just like that a domino effect happened: talk of secession spread across the land. The Worker’s Protectorate (the Great Lakes area) seceded, as the largest industrial area in the USA, it saw an opportunity to further exploit the capitalist system. Having the largest industry and the highest density of people in the USA, they are the heart of the US economy, but with laws protecting worker rights such as minimum wage, they could not further their profits. With the declaration of their independence, this all changed quickly; removing any and all socialist elements from their newly formed nation. Finally free, the Worker’s Protectorate now can exploit their workers to their heart's content. The southern states, also known as Dixie, also declared their independence. The USA was shell shocked by the speed at which these states broke away, and the Southern states were the last straw. The entire military loyal to the new government was mobilised, and it drove the Dixies all the way to Louisiana. After heavy fighting, Dixie was finally forced to sue for peace. The other two states that broke free realized the changing situation and asked for a conference with the US government. On January 2055, the Pact of Washington was formed; it stated that:


 * 1) The three regions will enjoy higher Autonomy like the PSA.
 * 2) They will still fall under US protection with a limited army.
 * 3) They will also pay 33% of their income to the Federal Government.
 * 4) Dixie will be drastically reduced in size.

USA invades Canada (2060)
The Pact of Washington was signed and a new era began for the United States of America; however with the new Great Depression roaring, it needed to find a solution for it. The United States of America organized the first Union Conference in 2058 between the Washington Brotherhood, Worker’s Protectorate, Dixie, USA, and PSA on the issue of how to elevate the USA’s economy. After weeks of debate, the conference’s secret suggestion was none other than war! The USA, seeing it as a viable option by looking at past experiences like World War Two, accepted the idea and started to develop the operation “Northern Eagle '' which in detail planned out the invasion of Canada. In the year 2060, the USA launched the operation swiftly and easily. The war only lasted two months, as with superior numbers and better quality weaponry the war was soon over. Canada and the USA signed a peace treaty in Montreal after the USA stretched the war out long enough for the American economy to recover. The peace treaty entailed that Canada would start the process of integration into America. Currently, it is the Canadian Provinces with the end goal of being part of the USA. The years tick by, and as 2120 comes around, the world is still in chaos and anarchy. With this danger the Canadians see their opportunity…

USA incorporates Mexico (2061)
Seeing success in Canada, the American High Command saw that the continuation of war is still an option and decided their war machine was only starting; drafting up the plan ‘’Southern Liberation’’ to include Mexico in the American Confederation. The USA sends an ultimatum to Mexico stating that they are incapable of protecting their citizens, requiring them to let in American troops to regain order. Contrary to the High Command’s expectations, Mexico accepted, effectively bringing them into the fold.

Formation of Central Caribbean States under US influence (2064)
Second Union Conference, US wanted to unite the, in their opinion, “chaotic,” countries in the Caribbean and Central America into one union. Panama was already a US puppet from 2029. Central American states accepted this offer because of fear, economic problems, and the effects of the great depression, creating the Central American States. Many accepted, and the United States brought them under their influence as puppets, but many countries in the Caribbean region refused (such as Cuba and Hispaniola). The USA did not stand for this insolence -- it attacked them and quickly annexed Cuba and Hispaniola, and other countries accepted the offer of the USA. After one month of war, the Carribean signed the  Carribean Union Treaty. All Caribbean countries joined the Central American States. The union was stabilized by the USA and the strong hand of the puppet leader named “name here.” In 2120, the Union was seen as strong, but it is not so --  the union can blow up at any moment...

Renaming of the United States of America to the Atlantic Federation (2066)
To further peace and reconciliation among the American states, the USA reaffirms its East Coast center to not create confusion with the Pacific States of America.
