World War V (A World of Difference)

The Fifth World War was a global scale military conflict that lasted from 6 March 1937 to 12 December 1949. It involved all of the world's great powers and every fully sovereign nation except Afghanistan and the Dominican Republic. The combatants were compacted into two opposing Alliances--the Allies, based from the Entente of France, Spain, Russia, and America, and the Axis, based out of the Berlin-London-Vienna-Mexico City Axis of Germany, Austria, England, and Mexico

Franco-Italian Relationships
Italy and France began fall out since 1927. Starting with the Election of Prime Minister Benito Mussolini in 1926, the friendly relationship that had existed between the two since 1821 (with Napoleon's brother in law and sister, Joachim Murat and Caroline Bonaparte, becoming the King and Queen of Italy) ceased to existed. Mussolini deposed the King of Italy, Jerome III, and the Royal Family, whereupon they were exiled and sent to France. There they stayed in the palace of Emperor Louis II, the King's sixth cousin, until the fall of Paris in 1943 and the relocation of the capital to Bordeaux.

Louis II vowed to restore the King to the throne of Italy declared Italy a national enemy. Italy secured an alliance with Germany and declared the Franco-Italian Alliance (signed 1821) voided.

English Civil War
The English Civil War, which was fought from 1930 to 1933, involved the Republicans, led by General Winston Churchill, and the Nationalists, the current government under Prime Minister Oswald Mosley. King Edward, who acctually supported the Republicans in place of Mosley's dictatorship, effectively lacked any control over English government.

Churchill had most of the army, and part of the navy and airforce on his side, but Mosley still had loyal troops and a larger part of the navy and air force. Republican forces won crucial battles, even laying siege to Westminster and capturing Mosley's Cabinet while he continued to escape. Churchill even wounder Mosley badly himself.

Nevertheless, the Royal Air Force conducted air raid over Republican bases, which were mostly remote areas.

The Republicans even attempted to enlist the aid of Scotland and Ireland, which failed. The Nationalist Navy also beat the small Republican Navy.

By 1932, the Republicans were reduced to a small band of soldiers and a few planes. Following a battle in Liverpool, which damaged most the city, the Republican movement was severly damaged and Churchill and his last allies fled to Scotland.
