Germany was the former skeleton of its predecessors - Prussia and the German Confederacy. Being casted out by the League of Nations with the Weimar Republic, the suffering of Germany quickly called upon the powers of a former Austrian, by the name of Adolf Hitler. Adolf reorganized Germany, after 1933, to achieve the former glory of Prussia and the Germans altogether. Creating the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler successfully redeveloped one of the strongest militaries in the world, to see one final showdown.

The once former empire of Christian Hussars was now nothing more than a shambling skeleton of what it had once been. The eras of dynasties and various rulings, from Russians to Prussians, had not been kind as Poland was the introduction to the panhandle the Soviet Union had on Eastern Europe, after 1922. Poland remains as a series of desperate farming communities and with minor industrialization. While not the worst off country of Europe, after the Great War, it was definitely one of the weakest.

Yugoslavia was formed after the collapse of Serbia and Albania in the Great War and was quickly assembled under the administration of the Western Europeans. The division between the Serbians and Croatians was known but was quickly overturned, as Europe desperately pieced fallen countries to try and reconcile a sense of independence, while simultaneously making life harder for almost all of Europe, with a few exceptions. Eventually divided by support for the growing German and Italian empires, it steadily turned to Slovenia and Croatia owning most, if not all, of Yugoslavia.

The Soviet Union was the byproduct of the Great War, as communist rebels gathered and demanded the Tsar to step down from leadership. The leading armies clashed and a violent coup d'état was commanded, with vicious success as the Tsar and his family were executed in the night. The following years consisted of desperately relieving the fallen cities and starving population, resulting in Russia bullying Ukraine into submitting food and supplies for their 'glorious empire.' The Soviet Union is large, but consists of many poor and torn cities - which relies heavily on the government as farmers out in the Eastern European plains demand better compensation. Many years of death will follow.

The French suffered heavily under the Great War and demanded compensation from Germany to relieve their efforts. As policies and new governments were set in place, the Versailles Treaty allowed for France to punish Germany and decapitate the Eastern half of Europe from the former Austro-Hungarians. France remained incapacitated after the war, as German and French populations remained uneasy and hateful of each other. Occupying the Rhine Valley for a small time, the French attempted to drive their despair into Germany as much as possible. This didn't pan out well, as by 1938, Germany was one of the strongest country's in Europe, while France suffered staggering economic collapses and political fallouts.

After the Great War, Britain remained commonplace with its leadership and joined into the League of Nations, while maintaining its colonies overseas in India and China. The efforts to repair Germany and Eastern Europe were overlooked in the following years, as English citizens in colonies across the world experienced widespread distress of their existence in India. Distrust only reinforced these concepts, when a man by the name of Ghandi stepped up to be the Indian people's behalf and voice. While this all occurred, politicians and Germans remained skeptical of the growth, although British popular opinion was apathetic to the German growth, after having suffered harshly as well.

Italy gained in the Great War, while simultaneously losing. The Italians lost their close respectable companion Prussia and quickly grew distraught at the Stop correcting "inefficiencies" of democratic parliaments. This was reinforced and eventually recognized, when Benito Mussolini led a March on Rome - outside of the parliamentary facility. The public opinion of democratic society quickly was replaced by a fascist government - the first authoritarian fascism to be forged in Europe. This continued successfully, until the wars in Eastern Europe grew too powerful and the Germans quickly had to support their allies, by 1941.

Formerly a greater piece of the Russian Imperialists, the Grand Duchy quickly deteriorated when Red Russians attempted to thwart the White Russian and Finnish populations in the northern reaches of Scandinavia. Finnish forces, backed by the Kaiser at those times gained extreme nationalism and became autonomous from Russia. This lasted for several decades, until the late 1930's when Russia initiated the Winter Wars, which resulted in defensive wars lasting Finland many years during and after the Second Great War.

After the Great War ended, the Treaty of Versailles decreed that Prussia be divided into several sections of land, ranging from the Northeastern European plains to the borders of Northern Germany. This founded many differing states, with similar intents in mind - the autonomy from Russia, which served as Estonia's motto. Fighting the Russians and opposing foreign control of their small, but fervent population, through several wars and rebelling at any moment they could.

Following in the same footsteps as its brothers, Latvia was disassembled from the Prussian nation and instead given its first sense of autonomy, away from Russia and Germany. This was challenged, as Russians and Reds alike would attempt to succumb the small but powerful state into the Soviet Union.

Lithuania remained as the most Germanic out of the three - being given autonomy by the Treaty of Versailles. This left Lithuania the greatest challenge of trying to assemble and protect itself from its more aggressive neighbor, Russia, which eventually drove the Lithuanians to join the Germans in 1941.

After the Great War decapitated the former alliances with Romania's closest friends, the country was quickly forced into ruling its own land and lifelines, against the growing Marxist concern across most of Southeastern Europe. Being headed by different political figures, the foundations of Fascism were quickly grown, as the growth of anti-Marxism spawned the Iron Guard of Romania. This allowed for a re-alliance with their former Prussian accomplice, Germany.

The Czechs and Slovakians were joined together, after their former leaders in Austria-Hungary were forced to divide and form two separate entities. Czechoslovakia was steadily formed from this division, as were other nations. This left the majority of the country to the peoples of central Europe independent, but confused and conflicted, as the eventual Anschluss of Czechoslovakia forged the growth of central Germany, in 1938.

Following a similar example as the Italians, the Spanish empire, headed by Francisco Franco, quickly armed to obliterate the opposing political opposition in the 1930's. Fueled by the Germans and given extensive weapons, the Spanish successfully succumbed the Spanish islands and subsects within several years. This allowed for continual ruling of the Spanish anti-Marxists until Francisco's passing in 1975, thoroughly ending the former Spanish Kingdom, altogether.
