#### Pre-CWS 9.0 (1919 - 1936)

After the great war of 1915, the German Republic fill into mass depression and economic despair, as they had to pay a lot of money to allied countries, money they did not have.

During the Dortmund uprising of 1931, a small Fascist driven group marched the streets of Dortmund, demanding a rapid change in the government, hoping to put themselves in charge, and in 1932, their leader "Adolf Hitler" was put in charge of the state, and the German Republic because The Third Reich.

In 1935 however, another opposition group came along, who heavily disagreed with Hitler's stand on the world, and the German Civil war kicked off after a brief exchange of fire in Rostock. At the end, the opposition won, and Karl Hanke was put in charge of the state, but it was not long before he started showing signs of going down the Nazis path.

#### CWS 9.0 (1936 - XXXX)

Germany made their first big move in 1936, where they sent a lot of supply and equipment to the Nationalist group in Spain, during the Spanish Civil War, but after seeing the brewing battle on their eastern most borders, they pulled equipment to focus on their own conflicts. This resulted in Germany getting their lost lands of Pomerania back in the north, which they lost in the treaty of Bastogne from 1919. They also took "control" of Posen in Poland, but this land remained disputed until March of 1939.

In 1937, the German government held a referendum with the Austrian government, for possible unification between the two nations, of which 79.4% voted to join Germany, and on May 9th, 1937, Austria officially became apart of Germany.

Germany briefly helped Hungary in retaking Transylvania on August 5th, 1937.

On March 5th, 1938, Germany officially got a hold in British lands, as they were playing a major part during the British Civil War, and Germany took control over Danelaw (Yorkshire). During the civil war, Germany also took Britain's colony in Gibraltar, and helped Italy take the colony of Malta.

On October 27th, 1938, Germany signed the Rosenheim agreement, where Germany would get the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia, and Spain would get Gibraltar back from the Germans. A few months later they fully invaded and annexed Czechoslovakia, with the Czech Republic going to Germany and Slovakia going to Poland.

On March 8th, 1939, Germany invaded Poland with lightning speed, the country of Poland only falling a 19 days after the invasion started.

After the German Polish war, Slovakia was given to Hungary as gratitude for helping Germany in the war.
