European Theater
The European Theater was a critical part of the World Atlas, fought predominently between Great Britain, with support from the Latin Bloc, against the German Empire and the Kingdom of America. Another front in the European Theater was fought between the Comintern Union and the Latin Bloc.
The Conflict
Prelude
Great Britain was compelled into terms dictating its military capabilities following the Great War. Angered by this, many British politicians attempted to renegotiate with Germany, believing cooperation was key. However, while Japan recieved lightened terms after joining the Russo-German War, Great Britain chose to remain neutral. Therefore, Germany declared the Great Treaty would hold.
When Japan created the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and "sold" their military surplus to their allies, Great Britain attempted to do the same. They conducted the reconquest of Egypt, forcing Egypt into what Britain declared the Commonwealth of Nations. As a part of the Commonwealth, their territory in the Dominion of Australia was weary of Japan's influence in the Pacific. Britain then renewed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, with terms that if one joined a war against two or more adversaries, then the other would also join.
Then, Britain built battleships and aircraft carriers, selling the excess to the Kingdom of Brittany. Germany believed this violated the Great Treaty, and demanded the actions be reversed. Britain ignored the ultimatum, with Germany declaring war. When the Battle of Guam occurred between America and Japan, Britain declared war on America, leading to the culmination of the World War.
Deployment
The Kaiserliche Marine set sail and met the British Royal Navy in the Battle of Jutland in 1944. The Royal Navy emerged victorious, with their shipbuilding proving superior. Following the battle, the British attempted to do the same at the Battle of Bermuda against the Americans. However, American tactics defeated the British, and Bermuda was conquered. However, between the two battles, and America deploying most of their navy against Japan, the combined American and German naval power was deemed too weak to invade Britain. In return, Germany refocused the efforts against Italy.
The Breton king suffered an assassination attempt, with the blame being placed on the French Socialist Republic. Brittany, and by extension the Latin Bloc, declared war on France. In turn, the Comintern Union joined the war. One by one, Brittany, Spanish Republic, and Portuguese Republic all sued for peace.
Battlefield
The battlefield of the European Theater was vast, spread across the Atlantic Ocean, the Italian Alps, and the Balkans. Germany and America even commenced with the North African Front, utilizing the help of Maghreb. They used the position to invade Italy through Sicily, while France invaded from the north through the Alps. After a military race to Rome, Italy sued for peace in 1948.
Outcome
With the commencement of Operation Donnerkeil, Great Britain agreed to an unconditional surrender. Great Britain was partitioned into England, Scotland, and Wales, with all three being placed under German supervision.
Aftermath
With the English, Scottish, and Welsh being forced into the Zollverein, Germany became the uncontested economic power in the world.
Politics is so complicated. We should all just stay calm and drink tea.
