## History

### The 1876 Presidential Election

The Workingmen's Party, a socialist political party, won the 1876 presidential election, with candidate James Weaver becoming the 19th President of the United States. This causes an Controversy between Voters claiming that the election was rigged in their favour and the United States' Democracy should not be handed to the "Reds".

Under Weaver's leadership, the government implemented a series of progressive policies aimed at reducing income inequality, improving working conditions, and increasing access to education and healthcare. These policies included the establishment of labour unions, the adoption of a progressive income tax, and the creation of a national healthcare system.

However, Weaver's policies faced fierce opposition from conservative forces, including business leaders and wealthy elites, who viewed the expansion of government and social programs as a threat to their power and influence.

One of the most significant changes was the establishment of a national healthcare system, providing free medical care to all Americans regardless of income. This was seen as a major victory for the labour movement, which had been pushing for universal healthcare for decades.

The Workingmen's Party also implemented a series of policies aimed at strengthening labour unions and protecting workers' rights. They introduced a national minimum wage, strengthened workplace safety regulations, and gave workers greater bargaining power in negotiations with their employers.

In foreign policy, the Reed administration pursued a policy of neutrality and non-interventionism, refusing to get involved in the various conflicts and wars that were erupting around the world. This was a major departure from the interventionist policies of previous administrations, and it was welcomed by many Americans who were tired of war.

### The Scramble for Africa

At the Lisbon Conference of 1880, the Great Powers of Europe gathered to discuss the division of Africa. The United States played a relatively minor role in the conference, only claiming Mauritania as part of its sphere of influence. The other Great Powers, including the British Empire, French Empire, and The Netherlands, divided up the rest of Africa among themselves.

### The Spanish-American War

The Spanish-American War took place in 1898, when tensions between Spain and the United States led to armed conflict. In 1898, tensions between Spain and the United States came to a head when the USS Maine, an American battleship, exploded and sank in Havana harbour. Although the cause of the explosion was never definitively determined, many Americans blamed Spain for the incident and demanded that the US go to war.

President James Weaver asked Congress to declare war on Spain, and in April 1898, the United States did just that. The war lasted just a few months and was primarily fought in the Philippines and Cuba. The US was ultimately victorious, and in December 1898, the Treaty of Paris was signed, officially ending the war. As a result of the war, Spain ceded control of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the United States. Cuba was also granted independence, although the US maintained a significant degree of control over the island's affairs. The war had significant consequences for both the US and Spain, marking a turning point in the histories of both nations.

### The Great War

As the 20th century began, the United States remained largely isolationist in its foreign policy, avoiding entanglements in European affairs. However, tensions between the major European powers continued to rise, culminating in the outbreak of World War I in 1919.

However, tensions between the United States and the European powers continued to simmer, particularly as the U.S. grew in economic and military power. These tensions eventually led to the outbreak of the First World War in 1919, pitting the United States, Brazil, and the Danubian Federation against the British Empire, Russian Empire, France, and the German Empire.

The war was a decisive Victory to the Entente Cordial Because The German Empire and Belgium were surrounded by by The Entente. The Germans tried a Quick offensive to Possibly Regain Lost territories for a more fairer peace in Spring 1920, but with the ferociousness of the French armies and the rapid flow of American Troops each month, The German Empire was forced to surrender in November 1920.

The aftermath of the war also saw a shift in global power dynamics, with the German Empire Collapsing and the debts by Germany boosting American economy which led to The United States becoming more stronger geopolitically.

During the 1920s, the Workingmen's Party continued to implement socialist policies, including the expansion of labour rights and the establishment of a comprehensive welfare system. The country experienced significant economic growth and prosperity during this time, but also faced challenges, such as the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and racial tensions.

#### The Great Depression

The Reed administration faced its greatest challenge when the Great Depression hit in 1929. Despite their best efforts, the economy was in shambles, and millions of Americans were out of work. In response, the government launched a massive public works program, building roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects to create jobs and stimulate the economy.

The Workingmen's Party has lost much of its support and influence by the 1929 election, largely due to the economic boom and increased prosperity under the previous Republican administrations. The party is seen as increasingly irrelevant and unable to effectively address the changing economic and political landscape of the country. As a result, the party does not field a candidate in the 1929 election, and the election is primarily contested between the Republican and Democratic parties.

In the years following the 1929 election, the Workingmen's Party struggled to maintain their support and faced backlash from the public due to their isolationist policies. However, tensions between the United States and Britain began to rise, with both nations vying for control over important trade routes and resources.

The Workingmen's Party capitalized on this tension, positioning themselves as the party that would put America first and protect the nation's interests. They also campaigned on a platform of economic protectionism, promising to boost domestic industries and create jobs for American workers.

As a result, the Workingmen's Party began to gain traction once again, with many Americans feeling that the established political parties had failed to address their concerns. In the 1933 election, the Workingmen's Party emerged victorious, with their candidate, John W. Davis, securing the presidency.

After the Workingmen's Party won the 1933 election, tensions between the United States and the United Kingdom began to escalate. The Workingmen's Party government was staunchly anti-imperialist and sought to end British colonialism across the globe. This led to a series of diplomatic spats and trade disputes between the two nations.

#### Creation of the Washington Comintern

The Washington Comintern was formed as a response to the perceived threat of British and Russian imperialism in the world, and to unite Communist parties throughout the Americas in May 20th 1935.

The Washington Comintern was led by a group of American and Latin American Communist leaders and was initially focused on organizing labour strikes and supporting socialist and communist movements in the region. However, as tensions between the United States and the United Kingdom escalated in 1934 and 1935 due to conflicts over trade, colonialism, and naval power. In 1934, the US withdrew from the Anglo-American Treaty of 1926, which had established close military and economic ties between the two countries.

### The Second World War

After the tensions between the United States and the United Kingdom hit a boiling point in May 14th 1935 with the The assassination of a high-ranking British official in South America by a member of a Washington Comintern-backed revolutionary group , The London Pact demanded the extradition of the assassin, but the Washington Comintern refused, leading to a declaration of war. The UK began to mobilize its military and ally itself with Spain and other European and south American nations , forming an anti-American coalition (The London Pact).

The United States, fearing a potential invasion and wanting to protect its interests, started to build up its military presence in the Caribbean and Central America. The war initially went in favour of the London Pact, as they had a better-trained and equipped military. However, the Washington Comintern quickly mobilized their forces, and their superior numbers allowed them to launch a successful counteroffensive in British Guyana. The United States, being a major industrial power, quickly began producing war materials and supplying them to their allies. The London Pact tried to blockade the South American coast, but the Washington Comintern forces were able to break through and establish a foothold in Europe. Meanwhile, Japan, looking to expand its power and influence in the Pacific, began to make aggressive moves towards American interests in the region.

The United States responded by implementing a series of economic sanctions against Japan, which only escalated tensions further. In September 1937, a Japanese naval task force was dispatched to attack American positions in the Pacific, culminating in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour.. This led to the United States declaring war on Japan, and subsequently, making Japan join The London pact.

In South America, The Combined American-Brazilian and Venezuelan Offensive kicked the British out of Brazil and out of the continent.

The Pacific theatre of the war saw fierce fighting between the United States and Japan, with battles taking place in places like the Philippines, Guam, and Okinawa, The United States ultimately emerged victorious slowly began capturing Island after Island with the help of Australia.

Back in Europe, the war continued to rage on. The Washington Comintern made significant gains in 1939 with the D-Day landings in Galicia, Spain and the subsequent Capture of Madrid. By 1940, Comintern forces had pushed deep into Spain., The United States began to Prepare for a landing in Ireland. With the Battle of the Irish sea resulting in American Victory but with large casualties, The United states made a landing in Ireland and Pushed through quickly with the Strength of the British army being defeated in Brazil.

#### War in Scandinavia

In 1940, the Norwegian Socialist Republic, aligned with the Washington Comintern, faced an invasion and occupation by Sweden, which was part of the London Pact and under the sphere of influence of the Russian Federation. The Swedish forces aimed to assert control over Norway and limit the influence of socialist ideologies in the region.

However, in a surprising turn of events, United States paratroopers launched a successful invasion of Norway from the occupied British islands. With strategic manoeuvres and support from local resistance fighters, they were able to liberate Norway from Swedish occupation. The United States continued their advance into Sweden, but the fighting resulted in a stalemate with neither side gaining a decisive advantage.

In 1941, following a series of negotiations and the Stockholm Peace Treaties, Sweden surrendered along with the other member countries of the London Pact. As a result, the United States took the opportunity to create a new political entity known as the Socialist Union of Scandinavia, which included both Sweden and Norway. This union aimed to promote socialist ideals and consolidate the power of the working class in the region.

The establishment of the Socialist Union of Scandinavia brought significant political and social changes to the region. It led to the nationalization of industries, the implementation of social welfare programs, and the promotion of economic equality. The union also fostered cooperation and integration among the Scandinavian countries, resulting in shared governance and joint efforts in economic development and social progress.

#### End of The War

In September 1941, The United States Wanted to end the war without Major Military Casualties slowly capturing Japanese islands, This resulted in The Atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Petrograd, Which forced The Russian Empire and Japan to Surrender. In Late September of 1941, The United States sent an Ultimatum to Britain and Spain and to surrender. Britain and Spain accepted into Surrendering. In the end, the Washington Comintern emerged as the victor of World War II. The London Pact was dissolved, and its member countries were occupied by Comintern forces. The war had caused tremendous destruction and loss of life, but it also led to significant technological advances and changes in the global balance of power.

With the Stockholm Peace Treaties in Place ending the War, The British Empire was dismantled into independent nations with the exception of the Bahamas (Ceded to US), Russia Collapsed into Civil war between Tsarists, Federalists and Bolsheviks Ideologies, a Democratic Party was in Place with Spain and Japan was Occupied until 1945.

### The Cold War

After the war, the Washington Comintern extended its influence across Europe and Asia, establishing communist governments in many countries and triggering the beginning of the Cold War.

The Russian Federative Republic successfully tested its first nuclear weapon, escalating the arms race and further increasing tensions between the two superpowers. The same year, The People's Republic of China defeated The Republic of China after their Civil war, adding to Russian fears of the spread of Socialism and Communism

The Korean War broke out in 1950, pitting the communist North against the capitalist South. The conflict quickly became a proxy war between the United States and the Russian Republic, with both sides providing military support to their respective allies. The war lasted for three years and ended in a stalemate, with the country divided at the 38th parallel.

In the 1954 Presidential election, the Workingmen's Party won a decisive victory, marking their third consecutive election win. The party's candidate, Henry Wallace, ran on a platform of continued economic and social reforms, and a commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the face of rising global tensions.

Wallace's opponent, the Republican candidate Harold Stassen, ran a campaign focused on a return to conservative values and an emphasis on American exceptionalism in the post-World War II era. However, his campaign was ultimately unable to compete with the popularity and grassroots support of the Workingmen's Party.

The 1954 election saw a high voter turnout, as Americans continued to be deeply engaged with the political process following the tumultuous years of the war and its aftermath. The Workingmen's Party was able to capitalize on this engagement, and their victory marked a significant shift in American politics towards a more progressive and socially-minded agenda.

### Global Security Council

The Global Security Council (GSC) was established in 1941 by the United States in collaboration with France, China, and a post-war Great Britain. Its primary objective was to promote peace, maintain international security, and prevent the outbreak of future global conflicts. The formation of the GSC was a direct response to the devastating consequences of World War II and a commitment to learning from the mistakes of the past. The GSC aimed to provide a platform for diplomatic dialogue, cooperation, and collective decision-making among its member nations. It served as a forum for addressing pressing global issues, resolving conflicts, and advancing the principles of peace, security, and justice. The headquarters of the GSC were established in a Switzerland, symbolizing its impartiality and commitment to global collaboration.

In 1944, the United States implemented the Marshall Plan to provide economic assistance to Western Europe and help rebuild after the war. However, the Russian Republic viewed this as an attempt to spread American influence and responded by implementing its own economic policies in Eastern Europe.

The Russian Federative Republic with the economic assistance (and as well as winning the Russian Civil War) managed to Become The United states Ultimate rival with a rapid growth of their Military and Influence which truly began the Cold War.

### Creation of SANTO (Socialist Alliance Of the North Atlantic)

SANTO was formed in 1954, shortly after the Workingmen's Party won the U.S. presidential election. The party leaders, who were sympathetic to socialist and communist movements, sought to promote socialist ideals and unite the South American countries under a socialist umbrella.

The formation of SANTO was a response to growing tensions with the Russian Federative Republic and other Western powers (e.g Great Britain) that were critical of the socialist government in America. The Workingmen's Party hoped that by forming a strong alliance with other socialist-leaning nations in South America, they could counterbalance the influence of Western powers and promote socialist ideals in the region.

SANTO's founding members included Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. The organization was based on the principles of mutual defence and cooperation, with a focus on economic development and social welfare. SANTO's formation was met with criticism from the Republican and Democrat and other Western countries, who viewed it as a threat to their influence in the region. However, SANTO remained a prominent organization throughout the Cold War, promoting socialist ideals and providing a counterbalance to the Western powers.
