1943-1950 (Confederation of States)

Confederation of States

1943
In 1943 the Federal States of America decided to try to remake the USA (their ultimate goal), the FSA Army launched a surprise attack on the Confederacy and the Republic of California. FSA troops were able to take Missouri and Maryland and Delaware.

War in the East
The CS Army was caught off guard much like the Californian troops were. But the big difference is that the CS Army was a verteran of the Unification Wars (the Confederate's expanisonist campain). After the initial surprise wore off the CS Army attacked the FSA forces at the Battle of Potomac and were able to halt the FSA troops from crossing the river. But in California Idaho and Washington were already over run.

The CS Army forced the FSA troops back to thier starting point on the Mason-Dixon Line. The CS President ordered the military to push into Pennsylvania. This was when just how weak the FSA Army actually was was plainly shown. They were unable to hold the Confederates back who quickly took Philidelphia, Albany, New London, Providence, Boston, and Agusta.

War in the West
The Confederates in the west pushed the Federals out of Misouri and sruck up the Mississippi and split the FSA in two.

The Californians were also able to push the Federals out of thier homeland. The Claifornians pushed the Federal Army out of California and hit at Wyoming and Utah. The Californians were able to free those states from 'Federal Tyranny'. The Californians were outmatched along with the Confederacy in one area although, the FSA had an extremley good air force from buying Hawker Hurricanes from Great Britain.

War in the Air
The FS Air Force was able to severly attack the Confederate and Californian Armies. But unfortunantley they had very few bomber aircraft and were only able to strafe the enemy. Thier airforce was severly injured when the Confederates had aquired 88mm anti-aircraft guns from Germany, but they had very few since the supplies needed to be brought over by some of the very few surface craft that Germany possesed. But otherwise the FSA ruled the air. At least for now...

War in Europe
The Great European War (OTL WWII) was securley in Nazi hands. The Battle of Stalingrade was now raging but Hitler now decides to allow the Germans to retreat but it was hopless. The German Army was trapped and eventually forced to surrender on Febuary 2, 1943. The defeat was devestating for the German war machine as a main army unit had been captured. The defeat was not nearly as bad as in OTL as many Nazi supporters from the Confederation of States had fled to Germany when the FSA had invaded Maryland. These supporters were organized into the Amerikanischen Teilung (American Division). This Amerikanischen Teilung was sent imeadiatley to the Eastern Front where they faught with valor. These fresh troops numbered roughly 15,000 extremley helped the German Army and many more Nazi Supporters fled to Germany when the CS invaded New England. The German Army evacuated the Caucausas and was able to surround the Russian Army at Kursk due to an New England aid to Erich von Manstein convincing him to attack imeadiatley before the Russians could dig in. The result was that most of the Russian Army was surrounded and forced to surrender. This caused the USSR about 2,000,000 men, 5,000 tanks, and almost 3,000 aircraft. The result was a renewed vigor and the Germans being able to advance once more.

1944
The FSA was on the ropes with the CS taking of New England and thier main industrial base. The CS Army then was able to take Ohio and Illinois and fast approaching the capital of Chicago. The Californians were taking the Great Plains and the war was almost over.

War in the East
The CS Army moved in on the federal capital of Chicago. They faught bravely and took many casualties. The galantry that they showed was huge as they fought with rifles and iron calvary. Often many were killed in the fighting or the horrendus aircraft straffings that occured day and night. As on Confederate solider wrote:

''This war is wretched beyond comprehension. I see young boys getting killed with everything imaginable. The Federals sometimes even used thier own shovels to attack us in hand to hand combat. I saw a kid's skull with a shovel lodged deep into his head and some of the soliders scoured him for bullets. I geuss he doesn't need them anymore. On the third week of fighting I had seen a man killed with a machine gun off a tank. His body was ripped down the middle and his intestines lay on the ground with blood flowing from his body. I saw a man on the twentyth week burning from a flamethrower, he must've been there flailing about for almost a minute before he gave out. His screams still haunt me today. But the aeroplanes are the worst bit. They come screaming in with lights flashing off thier wings. These lights turn into deadly bullets that tear out a man's gut, rip a man's arm clean from his body, burn trucks, destroy supplies and nearly anything else that stands in its way.''

I wish I was--

This letter to his father back home shows just how horrible the war was. All of the horrors he described were common place through out the war. Unfortunantley this solider was never able to finnish his letter as he was killed by an enemy aircraft half way through and his body was never identifyed. The Confederate Army took Chicago on September 22, 1944. This day is still celebrated as Victory Day in the Confederacy and California to this day. Once the Treaty of Paris was signed it officially ended the Great American War.

War in the West
The Californians and Confederates took huge swaths of land as their tanks were perfectly suited to this type of plains. The Confederate and Californian tanks swept across the Great Plains and killed hundreds if not thousands of troops while capturing an equal number. Most of the Federal Armies surrendered on sight as thier morale was so badly destroyed. Often this time was called a Walk Over War as all the troops had to do was walk over a hill and entire armies whould surrender. When Chicago was finally captured the Californians and Confederates had just broke through the massive fortifications on the Mississippi River.

Treaty of Paris
The Germans agreed to act as a Neutral Meditator and allowed the three nations to assemble in Paris for peace talks the FSA, Confederacy and California agreed to the Treaty of Paris which said:
 * Let the FSA exist in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
 * Have the FSA admit it was the agressor in said war.
 * Have the FSA grant the Republic of California and the Confederation of States full access to the Mississippi river and Ohio River.
 * New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania shall be ceded to the Confederation of States.
 * All states West of the Mississippi shall be ceded to California.
 * The FSA will become a joint protectorate of the Confederation of States and the Republic of California.
 * The Californian Army shall conduct tribunals of war crimes during this time.
 * The FSA will have no military unless the Confederation of States and the Republic of California agree to let it have one.

War in Europe
The Great European War was firmly in the hands of the Axis Powers. The Russian Army had been quickly surrounded at Kursk the year before and was now on the defence. The German Army was renewed as many New England factory managers were able to build the Tiger tank and Panther tank at an ever increasing speed. The Nazi menace on October 3, 1944 was able to totally turn around the defeat at Stalingrad and was only 13 miles away from Moscow. The Germans had learned from last year and kept advancig onto Moscow. The city was taken on October 23, 1944 after many days of fierce hand to hand fighting and street to street fighting. The USSR collapsed under the pressure and Stalin was killed by revolutionaries. The Republic of Siberia declared its idependece. Under this pressure the USSR unconditionally surrendered as it evacuated hundreds of thousands of civilians to Siberia. This time the Confederation of States acted as a neutral mediator as the Nazis officially drew the border between Siberia and Germany. Now Great Britain was alone in the world.

1945
In 1945 the Confederation of States was able to succesfully change its economy from a war time to a peace time economy. The Republic of California was also succsful but less so. The FSA's leaders had a stark hatred for both of the nations that now surrounded it. They funded terrorist operations in both of thoes nations.

War in Europe
The Great European War ws prctically won for the Nazis as they were now able to attack Great Briatain herself. Great Britain relised her hopless situation and fled to Canada with as many citizens as they could take as the Wermacht exeuted Operation: Sealion. King George VI asked Parliment to ask for pece with the Germans so that they could save what they had left. On September 13, 1945 Great Britain sued for peace and the Confederation of States once again acted as a neutral mediator in the Treaty of Mobile. The Germans laid out these things:


 * Great Britain shall admit it supported the agressor of the said war.


 * Great Britian shall give up India to Germany.


 * Great Britain will be given the Isle of Great Britian back.
 * Great Britain will pay war repirations to Germany.
 * Great Britain shall scuttle its entire navy except for the King Geroge V class battleships.
