WWII

World War II (also known as WWII) was a military conflict between the Axis (Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, Japan, Portugal) and the Allies (Britain, Soviet Union, USA, RSA, Mexico, China, Spain). The war lasted from 1st September 1939 to 2 September 1945. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million people serving in military units from over 30 different countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it resulted in over 75 million fatalities. These deaths make World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
==Before the War==
In France, after the defeat of the First World War and the end of Napoleonic Hegemony over Europe, a Fascist Movement emerged with the name "New France". Led by De Gaulle, it managed to re-arm the French Army and develop the economy. In Russia, after the Communist Revolution, Stalin took power. Britain still recovered from WWI, while USA was becoming more and more powerful. In China, Chiang Kai Shrek crushed the Communists and unified the nation, while Japan wished to expand it's Empire in Asia. Africa was dominated by British and French colonies. France had been allowed to keep it's colonies in Africa, more because British Prime Minister William Arthur feared an overextension of the Empire, than because of good will to France. Turkey had defeated Greece in the Minor Asian War in 1917 and meanwhile Portugal managed to keep it's colonial Empire alive. Italy, an Absolute Monarchy led by King Silvio II, had ambitions to create a new Roman Empire.
France had developed alliances with Japan, Portugal and Turkey. Chiang Kai Shrek, fearing Japanese aggression, had allied with Britain. Also Germany and Spain had allied with Britain in fear of the emerging French power.
