Nazi Germany (Socialist Revolution)

Germany, commonly known as the Third Reich, the Greater German Empire or Nazi Germany, is a country in Europe, with overseas colonies in Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific. Nazi Germany is a single-party state, having been so ever since Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933 and established a dictatorial regime one year later.

The country was a major participant in the Second World War. Over five years, the German Wehrmacht overran Poland, Scandanavia, Benelux, France, Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia, Greece, much of the Soviet Union and parts of North Africa. In 1943, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin surrendered his nation to the Axis alliance, leaving Hitler in control of European Russia and the once-powerful eastern Communist state in ruins.

Since the Berlin Peace Conference, which officially ended the war, Germany has continued to earn herself many major victories. The Second Russo-German War of 1952-56 proved a triumph; German troops conquered what remained of the Soviet Union and Japan recieved a large portion of Siberia. The Wars of European Settlement (1959-66) reinforced Nazi influence in Europe, with Switzerland, Spain, Ireland and Turkey all falling into German hands.
