20th Century (Mughal Glory)

Loss of Imperial Power
Mohandas Gandhi, seeing that the Emperor still held some power, declared a worker's strike. The Emperor submitted to the lawyer and accepted his loss of power to the Diwan.

Aftermath
The Hindustan Reform Period led many to realize the power of the people.

Beginning
The First World War started when, in 1915, a border incident occurred between Germany and Serbia. A network of alliances resulted in the war being between the Allied Powers, which were Great Britain, France, and Russia, along with several smaller powers, and the Central Powers, which were Germany and Turkey, along with several smaller powers. Hindustan followed its fellow gunpowder empire, the Ottomans, and became a Central Power.

Hindustani Invasion of Burma
In the same year, Burma was invaded by Hindustani forces. British troops, too enthralled in other campaigns of the war, gave up Burma as the few troops there fled to British Nusantara (OTL Malaysia and Indonesia).

Zimmerman Message
In 1917, the Germans sent the Mexicans a message that, if they invade the US, the Germans will support them. The Mexicans declined, stating that they would be obliterated by the US. The British, having heard this message, told the Americans about this. This message, known as the Zimmerman Message, brought the US into the First World War.

Russian Revolution
In 1918, Russians were starving to death due to war rations. A Communist leader, Vladimir Lenin, established the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or the USSR and Russia no longer fought in the First World War after this rebellion started. The Russian Revolution ended with a Communist victory in 1923.

Turning Tide
The war turned in the Allied favour after the American entry in the war. By 1921, the war was over with an Allied victory.

Treaty of Versailles and Aftermath
In 1922, both the victors and the losers met to talk about what would occur post-war. Germany lost much of its territory to Poland and all losers had to pay the winners of the war harsh reparations. Hindustan had to pay the victors of the war but, despite this, they easily mined diamonds and gave them the diamonds. However, in Germany, the intensely harsh reparations resulted in the start of dissatisfaction toward the Weimar Republic. In Turkey, groups wanting to be independent were successful. A man named Mustafa Kemal was appointed Prime Minister of Turkey and gave lots of groups independent in favour of decreased unrest in 1922. There was intense unrest in Hindustan, but then Motilal Nehru declared martial law in Hindustan in 1925. This avoided the collapse of Hindustan.

Great Depression
In 1929, a sudden downturn in the world's economy resulted in the rise of a political movement known as fascism. In Germany, a dictator known as Adolf Hitler rose to power and in Italy a dictator named Benito Mussolini rose to power. Meanwhile, in Hindustan, a Fascist movement led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah rose. This movement, known as the Azad Hind Movement, called for the deposing of the emperor and Diwan in favour of a leader known as the Neta. This movement was met violently by Motilal Nehru. However, after he died, Vallabhai Patel became Diwan. Being a weaker Diwan, he allowed the Azad Hind Party to prosper. However, after a series of losses in elections, Azad Hind declared the Republic of Hindustan in 1937. By 1939, the world was thrown in a conflict.

Beginning
Although there was fighting in Hindustan and China in 1937, the Second World War began in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland.

Hindustani Campaign
Although there was fighting in 1937, the victories of Azad Hind began in 1940, when Japanese assistance began. Bengal and Northeast India rapidly fell to Japan. However, Japanese troops also invaded Hyderabad and the entire Eastern coast fell to Japan and Azad Hind by 1941. War was brought to a standstill until 1943, when Japan's fortunes reversed.

Occupation of Britain
German troops won the Battle of Britain, and in Operation Sea Lion, occupied Britain. Free British troops continued to fight elsewhere.

The Tide Turns
However with the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the US joined the Second World War as an Allied nation in 1942. The war effort from this war resulted in the end of the 90-year CS Blockade.

Liberation of Britain
By 1944, the Americans began an invasion of Britain. The CS began to recover from the CS Blockade and, realizing the Allies were going to win, sent troops to Britain. By the end of 1944, Britain was completely liberated.

Invasion of Normandy
On March 15, 1945, the invasion of Normandy began. By September 1945, Normandy was liberated. This resulted in German troops evacuating the USSR and basically giving the Eastern Campaign a Soviet victory.

Liberation of Occupied Hindustan
American troops defeated the Japanese by May 1945. The worsening war in other campaigns resulted in the Japanese evacuating of Hindustan. The weaker Azad Hind troops surrendered.

Liberation of Germany
By March 1946, Germany was defeated by Allied troops.

Aftermath
The breakup of Germany into occupied zones was done. The Federal Republic of Germany was established in French, American, Confederate, and British zones and the German Democratic Republic was established in the Soviet zone. West Berlin was blockaded in the Berlin Blockade. However, the Western allies sent aid to Berlin with aircraft. This is said to be the first conflict of the Cold War.

1947 Reform
Main Article: 1947 Reform Jawaharlal Nehru became provisional Diwan following Vallabhai Patel's resignation in 1947. Nehru immediately passed legislation that ended martial law in Hindustan and also made all state Rajas, Nizams, and Nawabs elected.

Chinese Civil War
The CS secretly gave the Nationalists aid during the Chinese Civil War. This led to Nationalist victory in 1950.

Tibetan War
China declared war on Tibet in 1951. It wanted to regain the territories of the Qing Empire. However, Hindustan declared war on China in that same year. Secretly hating the non-democratic Nationalists, it supported Tibet, which was long considered to be part of India. Jawaharlal Nehru, Diwan of Hindustan, successfully kept the Hindustani public happy. Hindustani troops considered this war to be nothing compared to the Second World War. The war was won in the same year, with Chiang Kai-Shek deposed and Uyghuristan gaining independence.

Korean War
Korea was divided into Communist North Korea and democratic South Korea. However, when the two Koreas declared war on each other, Chiang Kai-Shek declared war on North Korea, followed by NATO. The Soviets were unable to aid North Korea and the war ended with a South Korean victory. Kim Il-Sung was executed.

Decolonization March
Lawyer Mohandas Gandhi led an anti-colonial march. This march caused Britain to give Nusantara its independence in 1952. This led to the Decolonization Movement, in which Africa became completely independent by 1960.

Iberia War
Spain was the only remaining Fascist nation in the world, while Portugal was the only remaining dictatorship in Western Europe. The British declared war on the two in 1960. Soon, the rest of NATO joined, while most of the free world sent aid to NATO troops. The war ended in a NATO victory in 1962.

Civil Rights Movement
Martin Luther King Jr. realized how unfair CS discrimination is. He contacted Mohandas Gandhi and they organized massive nonviolence protests in 1963. The CS decided to give non-whites the same rights as whites in 1964, but soon afterward, white supremacists assassinated Gandhi and MLK. This began the Confederate Reform Period.

Assassination of JFK
John F. Kennedy, president of the US, went to Richmond in the CSA to organize an American reunification after the end of segregation. However, while on the way to Richmond, the same white supremacist who killed Gandhi killed JFK. This assassin was given the death penalty. The new president of the US, Lyndon B. Johnson fought for American reunification in Kennedy's name. It was successful and the States of America were at last unified.

Reagan's Presidency
Ronald Reagan became the president of the United States. He was highly militaristic and he revived the rivalry with the USSR. This is said to have played a role in the near-collapse of the Soviet Union.

Collapse of Communism
In this period, all communist nations collapsed or turned to democracy.

Autumn of Nations
All Communist nations either collapsed in this period, like Czechoslovakia, or became capitalist, like the Soviet Union.

Background
Gorbachev's reforms were not well-received by everyone. Several pro-Communist people decided to overthrow the Supreme Soviet.

August Coup
These people organized the August Coup, which had temporarily succeeded in 1991. However, mass protesting led to the orchestrators to step down and re-instate Gorbachev as President.

Aftermath
Despite large areas of the USSR seceding, its integrity remained. This also ended the Cold War.
