Canada (World War Two Dark Axis Ending.).

**Canada** is a nation state located in North America. Following the (Second) Canadian Civil War (April 9th, 1942 - November 16th, 1945.), under Julian Byng's nationalist military regime, and with Axis support, Canada took territory from the United States, and, depending on which route is viewed, the Soviet Union. Canada also has influence over Greenland, and maintains an occupation over the Ivigtut Mine.

   The Second World War brought the Dominion of Canada to the aid of the Allied Powers, but many nationalists and other elements of Canadian society disapproved of Canada's involvement, such as the Conscription *en masse* of the population to fight against Germany in Europe, an enemy which many thought to be a friend following the First Canadian Civil War (October 11th, 1917 - January 20th, 1920.), which was primarily caused by the Draft of Canada, a mass forced conscription by the Dominion, as well as British and American transgressions against the minority of Nationalists, many Canadians viewed the British with both suspicion and outright treachery.

## History.

### World War One and Nationalism.

When the First World War broke out in 1914, Canada was already on poor terms with the United States, and many disapproved of the British Dominion of Canada. Nationalism was on the rise following the end of the American Civil War, and ever since Napoleon waged bloody battle in Europe, Canada had felt isolated from its British overlords who they perceived as tyrannical oppressors who attempted to destroy the unique Canadian Identity.

This was compounded with World War One, what the Canadians considered to be a war started by the Entente Powers for the purpose of Imperialist Expansion against Germany, Spain, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and others. The Canadians had felt as though they were being used by the British as effectively a military instrument, in the words of Julian Byng;

"It felt to my men as though our Army was but lines of riflemen whose only purpose was to die against the enemy's guns."

The Canadian Army following the disaster that was the Battle of Vimy Ridge, a costly Canadian Victory, felt strong tensions between themselves and their Entente handlers. Julian Byng, with the approval of a slanted Canadian Government, moved the majority of the Canadian Army from Europe back to Canada. The Army felt as though the European War was "Not our fight [...].", and believed the War to be caused by the Entente and their perceived "Aggression and violent expansionism.".

##### Interwar Period.

The Interwar Period was seen as a time of tribulations for most of the Canadian populace, as it the weakened nation saw poverty and disease, but also a strong rise in Nationalism. The Canadian people, for the most part, thought of the newly-restored Dominion as a return to the "Tyranny of the Past [Century].", and with millions dead in a failed campaign against their enemies, the defeated Nation as a whole felt a great deal of shame, to the exclusion of those who had supported the Dominion. The Nation they had fought for had been defeated so completely it promoted the idea of an international (Or at least an Entente/Allied-based.) conspiracy to destroy Canada, their Nation, their people, and their way of life. Canada viewed the New Regime with severe distrust, and many feared reprisals against those who had rebelled against the perceived tyrants.

To many Canadian Catholics, the "Armies of the Protestants" had brought about an unholy, anti-Canadian, anti-Christian regime, merely dressed up in Catholic clothes. Many an atheist chaffed under the New Regime's efforts to appease the Catholic populace, as they thought it indicative of a Theocracy in Canada.

With the Army of the Dominion being needed in the event of any further violence or any external conflicts, the nation readied for war. As such, the expansion of the military was ramped up, and many of the men enlisted were Nationalists and Canadians who had previously sided with the Revolution, which was mostly ignored by Army Recruiters and Military High Command, as they believed the bolstering of the personnel in the Army and Navy with possibly disloyal or even outright treacherous forces would be irrelevant provided they at least fought for Canada in the moment, and fought another Civil War later. In addition, many Recruiters and High Command Officers were Nationalists and Revolutionaries, thus, removing them would effectively *decapitate* the Army's capabilities in terms of leadership and command. To say nothing of their bias to support the careers of their former and current compatriots; It is unsurprising that many a Canadian Revolutionary, or Nationalist was selected for the New Regime's Army, when the ones doing the selecting were themselves in fact Revolutionaries and Canadian Nationalists.
