## History

In 1922, the Bolshiveks came out victorious in the Russian Civil War and established the USSR, with the twelve initial republics joining to form one country.

In 1924, Vladimir Lenin, founder of the USSR, died, and his brain was preserved to protect his power. Soon afteerwards, Joseph Stalin came into power, and created a cult of personality around himself.

In 1939, the USSR signed a non-agression pact with Germany, allowing them to invade Poland. True to their word, on September 1, 1939, the German Reich invaded Poland, and Britain and France declare war on Germany, starting World War II. Sixteen days later, the USSR attacks Poland as well. In agreement with the alliance, the USSR annexes the Baltics and goes to war with the Republic of Finland.

However, the alliance between Germany and the USSR was not to last. In 1941, the German Reich invaded the USSR, gaining huge grounds in their invasion, but ultimately failing to reach Moscow, the nation's capital. Eventually, the tide turns against Germany, and they are pushed back.

Following the war, the Cold War begins, and tensions between the USSR and the United States of America increase. The USSR takes the northern portion of the People's Republic of Korea, transforming it into the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The USSR then supports the DPRK in their invasion of the Republic of Korea, but the Korean War ultimately ends in an armistice that barely changed any territory.

In 1953, Stalin died, and Nikita Khrushchev succeeded him. In 1955, Krushchev established the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, in response to the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In 1962, after the Republic of Cuba turned communist, the Soviets threatened to launch nukes unless America removed them from the Republic of Türkiye.

In 1964, Khrushchev was removed from power, and was replaced by Leonid Brezhnev. Around this tmie, more proxy wars, including the Vietnam War, occur.

In 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev takes the head of the USSR, and causes it to collapse.
