The Mushroom Kingdom during World War II

After the invasion of Poland by the Wehrmacht on 1 September 1939 and the declaration of war by the United Kingdom and France on Germany two days later, the Mushroom Kingdom decided to remain neutral during the forthcoming conflict. This decision would later impact the kingdom and its people for the years to come...
==Chapter 1: The Invasion==
In July 1940, right after the fall of France, Adolf Hitler declared war on the Mushroom Kingdom. The German army invaded the country in mere hours, coming through the Warp Zones scattered around the occupied territories in Europe. The monarchy's national heroes, Mario and Luigi, were suspected of treason and locked away because of their italian origins. By 25 July 1940, Princess Peach accepted to surrender to the Third Reich, for the German troops had almost destroyed Toad Town.
==Chapter 2: The Mushroom Kingdom during the Occupation==
After the Mushroom Kingdom had surrendered to the Germans, strict laws were established against those who contested the new military administration. Political opponents were sent to the kingdom's deadliest place at the time, Yoshi's Island.
In 1941, Princess Peach, who was accused by her own people of being to friendly and collaborative towards the Occupying forces, tried to escape to the Bean Bean Kingdom, which was still a free country. She was captured at the border and sentenced to exile on Yoshi's Island where she would remain until the end of the war.
After this incident, a new honorific leader had to be chosen for the kingdom. Bowser, king of the Koopas and friend of the German government, was chosen to be the kingdom's new leader.
He established new discriminating laws against the Toads, inciting them to leave the country for the Bean Bean Kingdom, Sarasaland or even farther in Hyrule. In 1942, Toad Town was renamed Koopa Town and was exclusively reserved to Koopas, Goombas and such.
==Chapter 3: Liberation and Aftermath==
In late 1944, the Yoshi's Island prisonners, who had trained the Yoshis to obey them, managed to free their country from the occupants thanks to their jurassic friends. King Bowser had to escape back to his land and Princess Peach, who had led the revolt, was reintronised ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom.
After the war had ended in 1945, the Warp Zones linking the Mushroom Kingdom and Germany were closed as a safety measure.
The War had a major impact on the Mushroom Kingdom's society as tensions between the Koopas and the Toads have been high since the occupation.
