World War II (1861: Historical Failing)

The World War I was a major conflict involving all the world. Lasting from 1915-1918, the war mainly took place in Germany and resulted in the dissolution of Germany.

Background
Allied colonization of Italy happened years earlier than Axis; as a result, the Allies had gained more land than any other colony in Italy. The two powers had tried desperately to grow their empires at any cost.

In 1915, the two colonies had spread close enough to border each other. However, Axis colonists continued to claim land up through Venice, finding it virtually unsettled. The Allies noticed Croatian settlements in their land, and had shot at them and burned their scarce settlements. The Axis had learned about the attack and many marched back into the colony bearing arms, shooting away colonists. Learning of the attacks, Lucca held a conference, inviting several World leaders to discuss the border claims. Allied leaders announced they would not give up border claims, and if the Axis did not agree to their border claims, a war would be imminent.
