Interbellum Era (Colony Crisis Averted)

The terms interwar period or Interbellum (Latin: inter-, "between" + bellum, "war") nearly always refer to the period between the end of Great War and the beginning of Global War —the period beginning with the Armistice with Franco-Spain that concluded Great War in 1956 and the following Berlin Peace Conference in 1957, and ending in 1989 with the Invasion of Franco-Spain and the start of Global War.

Background
There is disagreement among historians regarding the starting point of the Interbellum. While most historians trace its origins to the period immediately following Great War, others argue that it began with the outbreak of Great War; British relations with both Germany and Japan were one of the most beneficial ones around until the 1960s for Germany and until 1957 for Japan.

Relations between Germany and the United Kingdom arguably hit a low point at the end of the Great War, and then an even lower point with British support for Franco-Spain occupation of Alsace-Lorraine. While the British Empire made it clear that it would help rebuild the Russia and Franco-Spain Germany was outraged. A constant hot topic between the United Kingdom and Germany was always the Germany military presence on the island of Bermuda.

The United Kingdom and Japan had shared very beneficial relations for decades. The United Kingdom was instrumental in modernizing and Westernizing Japan's educational system. But as the war in the Pacific progressed relations became more and more strained until full diplomatic ties were cut in 1959. After the war Alaska became a Japanese puppet state that bordered the North American Union. Like with Germany controlling Bermuda, many British Americans feared a Japanese invasion via Alaska. As fate would have it Japan had reached its maximum expansion. Any more expanded would cause Japan to starve itself. Most other Alliance members kept some form of diplomatic ties with the United Kingdom but were forced by either Germany or Japan to limit them to simple peace renewals.
