India (Asia for the Asiatics!)

India
India, freed by the British in 1897, formed a leftist republic in 1900. They were involved in a very minor role during WW I, but were one of the deciding factors in the Chinese Unification War of 1936 - 1937. Their independence was won after the France - Spain War ended in a Spanish victory, though the British backed the French.
