Following Hitler’s annexation of Austria, he is informed by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that if he attempts to take over any more territory, England, France, and the other Democracies would declare war on him. Undaunted, Hitler invades the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia; three days later, Britain and France declare war on Germany.
This move, however, is a major blunder on the Democracies’ part. After twenty years of dormancy, they are not militarily prepared to fight Germany. Within six weeks, again, Hitler had conquered all the countries surrounding Germany, all the way to the Soviet border in the East, and all the way to the Sea in the West. Only Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union remained unconquered by January, 1938.
Throughout 1938, Germany continues a vicious assault on England. In October, with the United States ignoring England’s pleas for help, Chamberlain is forced out, and replaced by a Prime Minister looking for peace with Germany. On December 7, 1938, in Munich, England officially surrenders to Germany. The government is kept in place, although it acts essentially as a client state to Germany, and in 1944, a coup places Germans in full command.
With England out of the way, Hitler focuses entirely on the Soviet Union. In April, 1939, with the Russian winter just ending, Hitler begins his invasion. Throughout the summer, Germany tries to advance, finally breaking into Moscow on September 1, 1939. Stalin is given a sham trial, and executed on September 22, with Hermann Göring being installed as the new leader of the Soviet Union, which is officially renamed the German States of Russia on January 1, 1940.
After much deliberation, Hitler decides against going to war with the United States. Instead, he helps Japan conquer all of Asia, allowing for three world superpowers: the United States on one side, and Japan and Germany on the other, in a perpetual Cold War.
