 * Britain, Prussia, Spain, New Germania, Navarre, and Portugal all join the war on Habsburg's side, Bohemia, Hesse, and Brunswick join on France's side, Hesse and Brunswick invade Habsburg, making little gains against the great Habsburg army, while Bohemia invades Prussia, because this causes both countries to pull troops out of Lithuania, the Muscovian Empire enters the war on Prussia's side. All other countries in Europe remain neutral.

1612
Scandinavia sells it's captured lands to Muscovy, and it and Livonia make peace with Lithuania.

The Hanseatic Republic enters the war on France's side, they then invade Prussia.

1613

The Western North American provinces devolve into unrest, with British citizens fighting Italian and Mayan citizens. In order to focus on quelling unrest, Britain pulls out of the war.
 * In Europe, Denmark joins the war on the side of the Hanseatics, with the Asatru nation and Iceland declaring neutrality stating that this was a war for the Christians.
 * Hungary joins its Hussite League allies and joins the war on the side of Bohemia, sending troops to aid the Italian Republic.
 * With unrest peaking in North Africa, Portugal sues for peace, returning the captured territory to France and retreating to deal with its internal strife.
 * With much of their armies devoted to fighting the Bohemian advance, Prussia is unable to spare much to fight the Hanseatics and with Denmark aiding them, the Habsburg/Prussian counterattack is ineffective, leading to a stalemate.
 * With too much territory between them and the war, the Muscovian Empire declares a white peace, abandons its aims for Europe and sets its sights on expanding eastward.
 * Wurzburg, its forces much better equipped, and trained by Bohemian instructors, counterattacks against the Swiss, taking the capital by the fall. The peace agreement overseen by Bohemia, sees the Swiss Confederation keep the swiss lands taken by Wurzburg during the War of Stabbed Backs, but the swiss must pay reparations to Wurzburg as well as becoming a client state of Bohemia.

1616
Scandinavia invades Denmark and captures Skagens Odde, they sign a white peace with the Bohemian/French alliance, but keep up their war on their weaker neighbor. They begin to fortify the island.

With Bohemian forces fighting the Prussians in the north, Lithuania and Poland invade, and take much of the south.

Realizing that if Genoa and her allies win, it would mean that their independence would be threatened, Greece and Albania declare war on the Hussites. Bulgaria, attracted by the relatively empty land to the north, does as well. They both advance well into Hungarian territory.

For much of the same reasons as Greece and Albania, the small Turkish states declare war on the Hussites, and defeat the main Genoan fleet, with help from Milanise and IR ships.

The Croats declare independence from Hungary and Bohemia, as do the Serbs. They create federal republics, much like Switzerland's.

'-Croatia has been the major port of Bohemia for like 150 years, which would have changed the cultural makeup of the area, plus the Bohemian unity reforms have increased Bohemian nationalism. Plus the Hussites are at war with Genoa, making half of this post nonsense.'

'''Then why did Croatia split off from Austria-Hungary OTL after the same time period? (I know that they just switched allegiances to Yugoslavia OTL, but tantamount to the same thing) Plus, most of their land is formerly Hungary's. Look at the map. And Genoa is a puppet state of France, and France is on the Hussite side. The Hussites are at war with Milan and the IR, and thats how the entire war started.'''

Milan is the french puppet, the Italian Republic is a member of the Hussite league, read 1610.

Habsburg sends troops down to the Americas to take back their territories, and gives their troops orders to kill and Italians they can fine, whether in their colonies or not.

 * With Habsburg pulling troops from Europe and Prussia pulling out of the war, the Hanseatics, Hesse, and Wurzburg put them on the defensive again.
 * Hanseatic ships sink many of the troop transports before they reach the new world and those that land are too few to do more than entrench and maintain the Habsburg lands.
 * With the Habsburg order to kill Italians, its Italian allies abandon it.
 * France begins an invasion of Habsburg.
 * Scandinavia negotiates a peace with Denmark, and they receive Skagens Odde. they begin to fortify it.

1619
