World War Two. Known as the bloodiest, most costliest war in human history. With well over 20 million dead, humanity was taught the true price of war. In the end, the Atomic Bomb was developed- countries were shattered, and the great Cold War, which would last for almost forty years, was caused because of the last moves of WWII.

But that was the Real World.

After Rommel smashed French defenses and took the country in June of 1940, British officials began to fear greatly isolated with no major Allies for support, and the US struggling to send supplies to the island.

When the German Luftwaffe began bombing Britain, British aerial units rushed into the air and effectively annihilated a large portion of the Luftwaffe. Defeated, Hitler calls off his plans for Operation Sea Lion. Needing more land to sustain his ever-growing Third Reich, Hitler assists Italian troops to destroy British defenses in far-Western Egypt. With immediate success, Rommel's tanks defeat British tanks at the First Battle of El Alamein in April of 1941. Struggling in an attempt to keep the Suez Canal under control, British leaders plan an invasion of France to distract Germany long enough for Russia to launch another attack from the east.

Before German forces can assault British defenses at the Suez Canal in July 1941, a massive British assault force successfully lands and takes Normandy and by December of the same year all of the French coast is under Allied control. With Rommel pushing back British troops to Russian soil, Hirohito redeploys his troops to flank and attack British forces from behind, and both groups will charge Russian cities. It is effective, and the British army of 134,000 surrenders- the largest British army to ever surrender in history.

Britain, needing more support in able to take the rest of France, asks the US to enter the war and assist them with fresh troops and tanks. However, Japanese troops beat them to it- and on January 19, 1942, the United States' navy is bombed in Pearl Harbor, with over 7,000 dead.

American citizens, enraged, support their government furiously in an attempt to destroy Japanese bases on the islands of Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Peleliu, and others.

During the stalemate in the Pacific, Russian commanders counterattack the German-Japanese attacks with an army of about 2,300,000. Within an effective month, Russian troops retake almost 900 miles and begin to reinforce themselves to assist in retaking Egypt, while assisting Chinese and British troops in Southeast Asia in an attempt to open Japan to two fronts.

With American and British forces in France, American fleets combating Japanese battlegroups, and Russian infantry overwhelming German troops in the Middle East, the war is slowly leaning toward the Allies' side... or is it?

April 4, 1942
Japanese carriers Akagi, Hiryu and Soryu use their aircraft to bombard the American island of Midway. The US' aerial capabilities annihilated on the island, transports arrive and take over the already damaged island. With a massive gap in the United States' defensive screen, Roosevelt plans a massive counteroffensive towards Okinawa and Iwo Jima, while also planning on landing an invasion force in Japanese-controlled Southeast Asia.

April 17, 1942
German troops make a stand against Russian attackers in the city of Mardin, Turkey. German artillery deploys poisonous gas against the unsuspecting Russians, and the death toll for Germany is at 100,000, while the Russians are at nearly 400,000. American tanks roll into the city of Strasbourg, Germany. German tanks repel the Allied invaders, and the Ardennes Offensive is planned for the winter of 1942.

April 26, 1942
In an attempted coup, several hundred civilians overrun the Reichstag and hold Adolf Hitler hostage. After several counterattacks, German tanks finally arrive and kill almost every civilian. Hitler has his left leg severely burned, and the doctors are forced to amputate.

April 30, 1942
The German Luftwaffe bombs British defenses near the Ardennes in preparation for the massive counterattack. Meanwhile, the total of 39 German U-Boats destroy a total of 100,000 tons of British shipping in Merchant and Warships, dealing a serious blow to Allied transport in European waters.

May 6, 1942
The Japanese battleships Fuso, Yamashiro, Yamato and Hiei, along with the carriers Hiryu and Soryu, escorted by a large destroyer/cruiser fleet, storm the British naval base of Wake island. British casualties at an alltime high, Prime Minister Churchill plans a counterattack against Japan from India and other pockets of resistance in Southeast Asia.
