British Civil War (A House Divided)

The British Civil War was a military conflict between British revolutionaries led by Oswald Mosley and assisted by national socialist nations, and the United Kingdom's government forces. Overall it was a victory for the national socialists, as the British monarchy fell and was replaced with a national socialist dictatorship. The nation then became simply "Great Britain" and was a founding member of the National Socialist Alliance.

Outside Influence
The move toward national socialism was fueled primarily by the national socialist successes in the Confederacy and Germany. Germany stabilized its economy, rebuilt its military, openly defied the British, and even extended its territory. Rather than being angry at Germany, the national socialists were outraged at the total weakness of the current British government and decided it was time for a change. In the Confederacy, national socialists rose to power and continuously put pressure on the United States and humiliated them, which these Brits found admirable.

Footage of speeches by national socialist leaders in other nations helped persuade the British people to embrace the ideology as well. However, economic strains put on the United Kingdom by German victories across Europe in the early 1930s led to the creation of the Union of British National Socialists, led by Oswald Mosley, who aimed to gain control of the British government. He eventually gained a seat in parliament and brought greater support to the cause, leading to more victories for the party and increased concern among the British leadership.

What really accelerated party growth, however, was the extreme nationalistic fervor that infiltrated British society after the Great War. The British people felt invincible and wanted to show off their strength to the rest of the world, and the national socialists were able to turn this into a thirst for war and revolution.
