The Greater American Reich

**The Greater American Reich** , commonly referred to **Nazi America** or simply **America**, is a National Socialist State in North America. It borders the Socialist Republic of Mexico to the South. It is considered to be a Great Power although only having existed as a country for just under Two Years. The Greater American Reich is the first National Socialist State to have held power over a defined landmass for more than a year since The German Reich (1932 - 1941).

However, America is facing a crisis. The American Nazis are a small minority governing over a formerly Imperiumist Nation. Although the Imperiumists have been quelled, many Americans have called for a return of democracy and the Greater American Reich has been forced to wage counter-insurgencies against these groups. They have also become reliant on "*The American Guardians*" paramilitary group who have gained significant power and influence which has put them at odds with the Army.

## History

### Formation

The formation of The Greater American Reich was a dark and bloody time but it was a long time coming. The Patriots of America formed in 1967 as an official party when the party was a reorganised form of the previous National Union of Fascists who collapsed in the early 60s. John Smith ,the previous leader of the NUF, decided it was best for the party to adapt and change with the times and founded the American style of National Socialism. He would lead the new party from 1967 until his death in 1972 after his death in an Atlantean Raid.

As the American Democrat Party collapsed and became unpopular against Rommel and his Atlantic Imperiumists, the POA became an alternative and Kelley's Presidency and the failures of that from 1977 to 1980 would see the POA rise under Gerald Ford's Leadership.

After Ford's resignation in 1983, the Party would then be lead in secret by General Tommy Franks under the alias Adam Markus. Frank's Leadership was heavily focused on paramilitary growth and beginning to mobilise The American Guardians. He would have to lead in secret due to his status as an Atlantean Army General. But, Franks would be deposed in a coup in 1995 by Richard B. Spencer, a relatively unknown individual and very young. He gained the support of the smaller members of the party and would gain the full support of the party when he placed Tommy Franks (still under Adam Markus) as Deputy-Leader.

The Party began a second rise under Spencer and the American people saw him as a great leader and one to right the wrongs of the Clinton Administration and the reformation of the Atlantic Imperium into the American Imperium following the withdrawal from Britain. In 1995, Clinton withdrew from The Gulf War and began entering The American Imperium into isolationism. This was a massive boost to Spencer 's Party and he promised to bring the American People back to Greatness. All he needed was a spark.

On the Emperor's death in 1998, American Ultranationalist Terrorists of The Patriots of America would stage a large scale revolution in New York which would lead to the death of Clinton and many high ranking Government Officials. The Patriots announce the collapse of The American Imperium and The Formation of The Greater American Reich. Due to Clinton's low public opinion and the Emperor's Death, no force rose to contest this.

### Control of The Army

With the American Imperial Army being a very dangerous threat, Spencer was quick to ensure that the Army was appeased and willing to cooperate with the new government as the American Imperial Army had yet to respond to the Uprising in New York. Luckily for Spencer, General Franks managed to gain a significant portion of the General Staff to pledge support by using the now immensely powerful American Guardians as thugs to threaten them. The Army pledged allegiance to the Greater American Reich on the 4th of June 1998, ending months of uncertainty and a threat of a military coup.

### Canadian Secession

Several Months after the formation, The Free Republic of Canada launched a rebellion in Western Canada against the Greater American Reich. The small Canadian Militias launched the Canadian Secession Crisis in November 1998. They quickly captured Vancouver City and the a large portion of the province of Greater Vancouver (British Columbia). They faced no American response and by the end of December, the Canadian Militias grew and managed to completely occupy Greater Vancouver. They had failed to realise this was the American Plan. General Tommy Franks and a large Brigade of American Guardians supported by 2,000 American Soldiers marched to Vancouver City and threatened to raze the city if the Canadians didn't surrender. The Canadians refused to surrender and the American Guardians moved into the City and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of civilians and burnt the city.

The Canadians would then sue for peace and Canada has been under a military martial law since the uprising out of fear of a larger uprising. Franks was seen as a hero among the American People for preventing another nation from leaving the American Sphere. Spencer grew to dislike Franks due to the strong public support he received.

### American Era

The Greater American Reich shot to be a Great Power in 1999. The Greater American Reich began quickly claiming land across The Pacific and began a rivalry with the Republic of Australia. The American Invasion of The Caribbean in June 1998 would cement the Greater American Reich as a capable military power. The Secessionists of Cuba and Haiti ,who had gained independence from The Free Atlantic States, were subdued by a Large Naval Blockade and a rapid amphibious invasion. The American Caribbean Territory was then established as a Reich Puppet State.

The Americans found themselves at odd with another rising Great Power , The British Empire. They began competing against the British for Trade Power as the British expanded their Empire and thus gained a considerable natural resource supply. The Greater American Reich suffered a great and embarrassing defeat during Operation Lion's Heart where they lost Trinidad, Southern Bahamas and Jamaica to the British, who caught the Americans off guard and swiftly defeated them. The American Reich has seen a sharp economic rise and it's military is a very formidable force, although its Naval capabilities have been brought into question. However, slightly hindered by the politicization of the military as American Guardian Para militants were integrated into the Armed Forces ,much like the Waffen-SS, and the Army didn't like the power the AG hold.
