Diversa Pars (Map Game)

Welcome to the Diversa Pars  Map Game! In Latin, Diversa Pars means " The Reverse Side", and that is what this map game is all about. Basically, everything is exactly as it is in our timeline, except for items referencing history. Every nation and place exists, and acts the same as in OTL. However, it is our job to explain how these countries were formed, and what came before them. For example, say the city of Brasilia is the capital of Brazil because the former capital was destroyed in a war and is now swallowed up by the coastal Brazilian rainforest. If you claim a year, you have to explain the events happening during that year, and why they happened. If you end a war in your turn, then the person with the previous year has to explain what happens in that war. To claim a turn, just add yourself to the list. If you are planning to claim in the future, or are playing already, add yourself to the players list.

Rules

 * History will get stranger as you go farther back.
 * You may claim a turn in advance of the last turn if you are working on it by putting your name next to the next turn heading. (Ex: The year 1950 is finished, I may claim 1949 and work on it free from the fear that someone will make 1949 before you).
 * You cannot claim again if you have taken a turn two or less posters previously unless one day has passed without any claims.
 * No ASB Content. Mods may remove turns with ASB. Also, sometimes years (or decades or whole eras) may have long stretches of time where little happens for you to write about. That's history and it's okay.
 * Respect other players' wishes. You may not agree with them on the way the game will go but please don't turn it into a massive argument and please don't let it spill out onto the page for this game. Keep it to the talk page or the chat.
 * If someone alluded to an earlier event, when that time comes around, try to have it come about (e.g. someone hinted a massive battle outside Mumbai in the 1860s fifty turns earlier).
 * If you are going to foreshadow something, please make it relatively ambiguous. Don't say the exact year if it's 80 turns away.
 * Use .png format for the map only.
 * Edit the previous map, do not make a new one.
 * The map should be a 650 px thumbnail aligned to the center.
 * A map must be posted every turn.
 * There are plans for the future turns posted on the chat page, so please read up on those before you take your turn.
 * The Owner may revoke other moderator decisions.
 * Mods have the ability to delete ASB posts.
 * Post the map to the latest turn in the map category and change the year to the latest year.

Discussion
Everything is fine except for the India part. They were supposed to give it up in WWII. Also, MOROCCO WASN'T IN WWII. Upvote  - The March Sig

1945
Europe Americas and Australia Asia Africa Key Notes Sides of the War
 * WWII ends! Britain, Dixieland, and France all face major consequences for their actions, however. The British People's Empire (actually Fascist) is forced to give up Canada, Guyana, South Africa (which is divided up into multiple nations), the Raj (which is divided up into India, Tibet, and Pakistan), Australia, British Guinea (half given to Australia), New Zealand, and it's Polynesian possessions. It is allowed to keep some of it's lesser colonies, who voted to stay a part of England almost unanimously. Nigeria was forced to be given to Portugal, with the northern provinces of Canada given to Scandinavia, along with Liberia. They are also forced to reinstate the royal family, who returns from their rule in Acadia (commonly called "New Britain" at the time). Now that they were back to regular Britain, they free it. Meanwhile, France is forced to begin a decolonization program of Africa, Siam, and North America. They are also forced to give West Africa limited autonomous say, as well as reform the fascism out of their political system.
 * Meanwhile, Dixieland gets horrible consequences as well. They are forced to cut off trade with all their former allies, as well as nearly abolish their army.
 * The United States of America, which was a military alliance between New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Illinois, is solidified into a singular state (in order to fight future World Wars).
 * Cascadia admits Guerrero Negro as a state, named after it's capital.
 * The communist rebels in Manchuria succeed in becoming a state.
 * Communist rebels continue to overrun the Chinese government.
 * Decolonization really begins to start as Britain and France give up most of their colonies. Ethiopia is the only nation that got by scot-free (and with flying colors).
 * The grey color represents fascism. If it's outlined in pink, it belongs to Britain. If it's outlined in blue, it belongs to France.
 * If there is British pink or French blue with no grey color inside it, it is occupied by the subsequent nations.
 * Acadia is not occupied however, but it is simply where the remains of the British royal family rule.

1944
Americas
 * 1944 marks an important year in United States Alliance as important battles are fought that turned the tide of World War 2 in the North American Front. As the Battle of Chicago results in a Illinois Republican victory over the greatly more powerful British Imperial Forces who had entrenched the Illinoisans inside Chicago for over 200 days within the city.


 * Meanwhile the Battle of DC results in a combined Maryland and Virginian forces victory. As Maryland military forces allow for the Dixie Union soldiers to come close enough to DC until to launch a counter attack. While Virginian forces launch a mass counterattack against the drawn in Union forces. While the Dixie troops are caught off-guard, the Midwestern Confederation is able to launch a counteroffensive against divided British and Dixie forces, as they have been spread out too thin across the war fronts.


 * In the North, New York and New England are able to force back the much larger French and British forces


 * Kansas begins an effective rise up against the occupying British and Dixie soldiers, after being helpfully supplied by both the Cascadians and Nebraskans

Eruope
 * Cascadian and Nebraskan forces continue to support Alliance of Hope
 * German military might successfully forces the French out of Germany, thankfully they are able to do it quickly enough for the Soviets not to get involved in the war.


 * In Scandinavia no substantial gains are made by the British as they are faced with dangerous weather in Scandinavia.


 * Spain and Portuguese forces are able to push back combined British and French military forces in Iberia.

Asia and Australia
 * Italian forces continue the siege of Rome, to hopefully take back the capital from the French forces.
 * Dutch Naval forces in Dutch East Asia are able to hold off both combined British and French Naval forces, with better and more updated naval tactics and the effective use of aircraft carriers in Naval Warfare. The naval forces are also able to hold them off thanks to Japanese support.


 * Mysore is able to hold off the British Imperial Army by sheer numbers they have over the British forces in the region. Also it is thanks to ethnic riots and revolts help ease the pressure on Mysore.


 * Communist forces in China continue their rampage and continued momentum in the Chinese countryside.


 * The once grand Byzantine Empire, now Byzantine Republic, suffers from a great Communist rebellion in the country and it seems their numbers are growing.

Africa
 * Tensions between Ethiopia and Arabia reach an all time high as both sides nearly go to war over the simple fact they support the opposing side.
 * The Dutch are able to effectively hold back British Imperial Forces by supplying the local natives with weaponry and equipment to cause havoc and chaos across the British African holdings.


 * Spanish African soldiers begin to push back British and French expeditionary forces, after being thankfully resupplied by Ethiopian support.


 * Portuguese African rebels continue causing mayhem and havoc for the British soldiers occupying the region.
