The **Second Weltkrieg** or **Second Great War**, was a global conflict that lasted from 1941 to 1946. The vast majority of the world's countries, including all of the great powers, fought as part of two opposing military alliances: the Third International and the Reichspakt. Many participants threw their economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind this total war, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and the delivery of the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. The Second Weltkrieg was one of the deadliest conflicts in the history of Europe. In the wake of Third International defeat, France and Romania were occupied, and war crimes tribunals were conducted against Syndicalist leaders.

Tensions between the Commune of France and Germany finally came to a head after the death of Kaiser Wilhelm II on June 4, 1941. Immediately after his death, France began demanding territorial concessions from Germany, as well as for the German government to un-ban the recently outlawed Social Democratic Party of Germany. When Germany refused, France invaded, followed by the Union of Britain declaring war on Germany. The Russian State, led by Boris Savinkov, launched a sudden invasion of German-aligned Eastern Europe, forcing Germany to fight a two front war. Romania aligned itself with the Russian State. Not only that, but the Empire of Japan began attacking German and Dutch colonies in the Pacific Ocean. The Third International made significant gains from 1941 to 1942, after which the Germans forced them into a stalemate. The Union of Britain launched Operation Checknote, which involved the targeted bombing of German cities. In late 1943, German Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher met with Canadian Prime Minister Lord Beaverbrook, Portuguese Prime Minister José Hipólito Raposo, and French Republic President Henri Mordacq in Halifax, Nova Scotia to discuss a possible military alliance. This meeting would later be known as the Halifax Conference, and would result in Canada, Portugal, and the exiled French Third Republic joining the conflict on the side of Reichspakt.

Opération Liberté Bleue was conducted in 1944, which involved a combined force of Canadians, French Algerians, Portuguese, Italians, and Germans establishing a beach head in the southern part of the Commune of France. The operation proved to be successful, proving to be a major turning point in the war. In addition to this, there was a race between the two military alliances to successfully create the world's first stable nuclear bomb. Project Damocles was a joint military research operation between the Commune of France and the Union of Britain, with both Communard and British scientists working tirelessly to create a bomb. The project would ultimately be overtaken by its German counterpart in 1946. By this time Germany and her allies had pushed back the Communards and the Russians, with the German military pushing deeper into Russia. Germany had captured Paris back in 1945, and was getting closer and closer to the provisional Communard capital of Bourdeaux. In Early 1946, Germany dropped two atomic bombs on the Russian cities of Moscow and Voronezh. Boris Savinkov and his inner circle were all killed in the Atomic Bombing of Moscow, resulting in the collapse of the Russian State. Later on, in the Battle of Bourdeaux, Communard Chairman Marcel Cachin committed suicide, and the city was taken by Germany. A week later, the war would officially end.
