On 1st September 1939, Germany invaded Poland after having staged several false flag incidents, On 3rd September, based on their alliance agreements with Poland, the United Kingdom and France declared war on Germany. By 27th September, Warsaw surrendered to the Germans, By 6th October, Poland had capitulated.

==== Operation Barbarossa (1941)<ref>Almost nothing is said about the Operation itself in the Game, it is only known that, unlike the real story, The Soviet Union never propriety industrialize and kept having famines after Bukharin's 5 year plans failed.</ref> ====

On Sunday, 22th June 1941, The German forces begin the operation '''''Unternehmen Barbarossa''', A large surprise attack on the Soviet border took place, Among the Germans, the Finnish begin their own war against the Soviets taking the lands that were lost in the Winter War and Karelia, despite the best efforts of the Red Army to stop the invasion, they weren't able to contain the Axis Forces on mostly all the fronts, Only a few months after the operation began, major cities as Kiev, Minsk and Leningrad fell to the Axis Powers, and the Red Army was in total retreat towards the east, Moscow fell to the Germans on 25th December 1941 and Bukharin was ousted by Stalin in a coup. Despite Stalin's attempts to maintain cohesion within the Union and prepare for a possible counterattack, this coup marked the dissolution of the Soviet Union, plunging it into chaos and anarchy.''

''Soon after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Axis Powers managed to reach the A-A line without any major resistance. Despite the dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of 1941, remaining Red Army Divisions and partisans refused to surrender and kept fighting against the Germans, even after the conclusion of the Second World War, the best example of this continued struggle is the [[West Russian War]].''

In 1943, seeing the fall of Russia, the Republic of Ireland decided to join in the Axis powers, invading Northem Ireland in early 1943. Taking advange of this new front and with most of the Royal Navy trapped in the Mediterrean or in the Pacific and without significant numbers of American warships near the British Isles, the Germans launched the largest amphibious assault in the history, '''''Operation Sealion.''''' The operation took place on the English Counties of Kent, West Sussex, East Sussex and the Isle of Wight around late 1943.

Despite their best attempts to cut the Axis supplies, The remnants of the Royal Navy and a handful of U.S Navy ships in the Atlantic were unable to defeat the Kriegsmarine and Regia Marina's naval superiority, and the Germans managed to secure their supplies lines and began attacking towards the rest of Great Britain. London fell in early 1944 and Allied morale having dealt multiple blows thusfar, collapsed. With the fall of London, multiple rebellions around the British Empire began, such as the Levant Uprising. With the constant stream of offensives by the Germans, the Allies were forced to retreat back to the Scottish Highlands, with cities such as Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh falling in quick succession. By April 1945, after a hasty evacuation by US Army Forces, the remaining troops left saw no other option and capitulated to the Germans.

In 1940, with the Fall of France in Europe, the Japanese invaded French Indochina in an effort to embargo all imports to China. Due to this movement, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt imposed a partial embargo on resource exports to Japan. This embargo became more restrictive and harsh as the months went by, until mid-1941, when newly inaugurated U.S. President, Thomas E. Dewey, established a total embargo on oil. Following this, the Japanese Empire approved the plan for a surprise attack against the American Navy. The attack was approved by the Imperial Conference despite the concerns of some of the highest-ranking admirals in the empire, one of whom was Isoroku Yamamoto, who maintained that if the American aircraft carriers were not sunk during the attack, the Japanese Empire could be doomed to a war of attrition.

On the morning of December 7th, the Naval Base of Pearl Harbor was attacked by 353 Imperial Japanese aircraft launched from six aircraft carriers of the ''Kidō Butai''. When the Japanese planes arrived at the docks, they found the main American fleet docked for a training exercise that had been delayed.

In the ensuing years, the Japanese established nearly complete control over the Pacific theater. Exploiting their dominance, they broke through Chinese defenses and expanded their influence. By 1943, concurrent with Operation Sealion in Europe, India erupted in open revolt against British rule. Taking advantage of the situation, Thailand invaded the poorly defended British Malaya. Despite this, the Americans managed to had some notable victories and offensives as in the Philippine Sea or in the battle of Saipan slowly recovering lost territories. The most notable of this was in '''Iwo Jima''', where despite extensive US losses and were forced to retreat from their beachhead, the cost of victory was too high for the Japanese Empire.

On the morning of the Independence Day in 1945, high above the Hawaiian island of Oahu, a lone German bomber, launched from a unknown Japanese airport<ref>Despite the likeliness that the strategic bomber took off from an IJN aircraft carrier, there is no real information where the German bomber took off on its flight to Pearl Habor.</ref> ,deployed for first and only time in the history a atomic bomb over a civilian city, The Bomb was dropped over the Pearl Harbor. The devastating attack was the deadliest event in Hawaii's history, inflicted nearly 100,000 casualties and caused the total annihilation of the American fleet stationed at the base and the total destruction of the it, Among the heavy destruction of Honolulu. Witnessing the catastrophic effects of the bomb, the American President, Thomas E. Dewey opted to pursue peace negotiations.
