United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, also known as the United Kingdom (UK or U.K) is a Soverign Nation located off the Northwestern Coast of the European Mainland. The United Kingdom includes the Island of Great Britain, the northeastern part of Ireland, and many smaller Islands. Otherwise, the United Kingdom is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east, the English Channel to the south, and the Celtic Sea to the southwest, giving it the 12'th Longest Coastline in the world. The Irish Sea separates Great Britain and Ireland. The Total Area of the United Kingdom is 94,000 miles (240,000 km).

The current version of the United Kingdom was formed in the Constitutional Crisis of 1936. Prime Minister Stanely Baldwin, Parliament, and the Church of England attempted to convince King Edward VIII to abdicate after he intended to marry American divorcee, Wallis Simpson. Edward VIII resisted, and the Middle Class, supportive of the Popular King, began protesting against Parliament, cheering The King at Buckingham Palace, Waving The Royal Banners, Holding Signs stating "God Save the King" and "May he Reign over us". In order to bolster his support, King Edward took a Long Tour of Parts of British India and Africa and then Canada and Australia, promising increased Living Conditions, Lighter Rule, and Equality for Colonial and Dominion Citizens. These Promises increased The Monarchs Popularity Empire Wide. Back in Britain, many Politicians rallied to the King's Cause but isolated the Dominion Governments. Fascist Oswald Mosley, Conservative Winston Churchill, and even Liberal David Lloyd George. Churchill and Lloyd George, along with their Followers, Formed the Royal Conservative Party and Liberal Imperialist Party, and along with The British Union of Fascists, formed the King's Party. Later that week Edward announced that "Having a Morganatic Marriage is unacceptable, and denying his Children to the Crown Unconstitutional. I promise to my people that Wallis will become a Princess, and it is time for the People and Empire to recognize the changes of the World, and repeal the Medival Law of Royalty Only." With that message, people cheered for the King, however, the Government refused to end the Crisis. Henceforth Oswald Mosley organized a March on Westminster with the Blackshirts and Royalist Protestors and began Shouting to the Halls of Parliament. Later a Royalist Mob marched to Downing Street and surrounded the Prime Ministers Building. In the last desperation of Hope, Baldwin called the Army and London Police Force to shut down the Rioters and arrest Mosley, but General Lord Gort refused any action. Seeing his Failures, Baldwin and His Cabinet resigned. After the Resignation, King Edward VIII called for Elections, with the new Loyalist Conservatives and Liberals, gaining a Majority and Forming a Coalition Government, with Sir Winston Churchill becoming Prime Minister. The British Union of Fascists increased its popularity with British Nationalists and the British Peoples Party succeeding the Labour Party as the Major Social Democratic and Socialist Bloc.

What if Germany Won WW2: Act 1: World War 2


Part 1: The Rise of the Red Sun

It’s 1937, as Japanese Troops enter The Province of Beijing, China. Just Six Years ago, Japanese Forces occupied Manchuria and installed a Puppet Government, Manchukuo. Now another invasion has begun, as Japanese Forces sweep through Beijing and Inner Mongolia, creating Two more Puppet Governments, Meijing and Reorganized National Government of China. Soon after Japan begins invading the Chinese Coastline, and successfully Occupies Shanghai and Nanjing. By the middle of 1938 Chinese Coastline was occupied by the Japanese Empire and was advancing West towards Yunnan and San Ma. Then Japan started exploiting Rebels and Warlords to diminish the Nationalists, and by September to November 1939, China would surrender. By 1940, with Britain only left in the Allies, Japan would begin the invasion of Southeast Asia Invading French Indochina from China and allying with Siam (Thailand). By Late 1940, French Indochina and British Malaya would surrender, creating the Puppet Governments of Annam, Cambodia, and Malaya. Japan would begin the invasion of the Dutch East Indies by Early 1941 with Troops from Malaya advancing in Sarawak, Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi. Then with help of Siam, Japan begins the invasion of British India, advancing into Burma. Meanwhile by Middle of 1941 Japan would invade Papua forcing the Dutch East Indies to capitulate and advancing into British Papua New Guinea. Also the East Indies would become a Japanese Protectorate along with Papua. By December 1941, Japan would have occupied all of Papua and would be advancing into Bengal stopping at the banks of the Ganges River creating the State of Myanmar. Suddenly on December 7th Japan would bomb Pearl Harbor, sinking most of the US Pacific Fleet, including the Carriers and severely Damaging the Repair Yards, and Oil Fields. America would declare war but would sign a Peace Treaty with the rest of the Allies. We jump to Summer of 1942 when Japan declares war on the Soviet Union, invading from Two Points, from Manchuria to the Far East, and from Menjiang to Mongolia. This would help the Soviet Union collapse. By 1943 Japan would be the Dominant Power of East Asia and the Pacific and would break off from the Axis Powers, being invested in the Greater East Asian Co Prosperity Sphere.

The Novus Imperium Romanum

It's 1936 and Italy has just finished the 2nd Italian-Ethiopian War, merging their Colonies in East Africa to form Italian East Africa. By 1939 Italy had forced the Kingdom of Albania to Join the Italian Empire. By 1940, as Italian Forces entered Southeast France, the French Government announced their Surrender to the German Reich as they closed up on Northern France. However in this Universe Italy participates much more to the War, and is given Corsica, and Outer Sardinia (Marsille). In 1941, Italy then sent its military might on the Balkans, with the Help of the Tripartite Pact, Italy invaded Yugoslavia and Greece and with the help of the Axis forces their surrender. Italy then creates the Puppet Governments of Croatia and Greece and annexes Dalmatia and Montenegro, as their Military is led South Invading Egypt as we as British Territories in the Medditaranian Sea like Malta, and Cyprus. By Early 1942 Italy took its full Military might on British Sudan and created the Puppet Governments of Italian Egypt-Sudan , and then began the invasion of British Palestine and Transjordan. Then Italy invades Turkey, invading From Syria and Greece, and forcing a Turkish Surrender. We jump to 1943, after Case Anton Italy is given French Tunisia and French Assyria. After the peace Treaty in 1943 Italy would become the Dominant Power in the Medditaranian and North Africa, and would break away from the Axis Powers, allying with the Spanish State, Republic of Portugal, and Kingdom of Romania to form the Latin Bloc. After the war Germany releases German Occupation of Serbia to Italy, who creates another Puppet Government. Italy is now the Dominant Power in the Middle East, South Europe, and Northeast Africa.

Heil Hitler Heil Germany

Germany began its first Territorial expansion in 1938, by annexing the Republic of Austria, and the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. In early 1939 the remainders of Czechoslovakia would become the Protectorate of Bohemia, and the Puppet Government of the Slovak Republic (Slovakia). On September 1st 1939, Germany would declare war on Poland, resulting in a British and French declaration of war 2 Days later. Germany, along with the Soviet Union divided up Poland into Two, with Germany directly annexing the North, and creating a Protectorate in the south. Then in Middle of 1940, Germany launched Operation Weserburg and Conquered Denmark and Norway, becoming Puppet Governments to the German Reich. On May 10, Germany would invade the Low Countries to bypass French Defences, as the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium with haste, and advancing drastically into the French Republic. When British Troops evacuate from France, many ships would be sunk by German U-Boats and would cause heavy British Casualties. On June 14, Paris would be occupied by Germans and the French Republic would surrender. After the Battle of France, Germany would directly Annex Alscase-Lorraine and Luxembourg, and create Puppet Governments in Belgium and the Netherlands. Northern France would be Occupied and the South would become a Free State. Germany would then send the Mighty Luftwaffe to Bomb the United Kingdom, simultaneously destroying British Factories and Military Bases, effectively leaving Great Britain out of the Picture. Meanwhile Germany would help Fascist Italy invade the Balakans, Turkey, and Egypt for the rest of 1941. Germany would also annex Slovenia after Yugoslavian surrender. Germany would then recall its troops to prepare Operation Barbarossa, and in Spring 1942 Germany would invade Russia from Multiple Angels. From Finland and Norway into Karliea, from Turkey to the Caucasian Mountains, from China to Mongolia and the Far East, and from Poland into Western Russia. By Fall, Russia would have lost most of its Resourceful Regions, and as German Troops advance towards Leningrad and Moscow, Russia would lay down their Arms. In the Peace Treaty, Ukraine, the Caucasus, the Baltic States, Belarus and Western Russia became Protectorates of Germany. The Siberian Republic and The Central Asian Republic became independent as a Buffer Zone between Japan and Germany. Germany would then relinquish Occupation of France to the Free Zone. With Britain all alone Germany would sign a Peace Treaty with Britain leaving the British to pay War Debts and lose Palestine, Egypt, Somaliland, and Sudan. By the end of the War Japan and Italy had left the Axis, with Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, and the French State remaining in the Axis. However the Greater German Reich is a Superpower, dominating Western and Eastern Europe.

Various of Factions of the British Civil War

Scenario

In 2024, Queen Elizabeth II, Head of State of The United Kingdom, Commonwealth Realms, and British Overseas Territories passed away in her Bedroom in Windsor Castle. Her son, Charles immediately accepted the Title as King of Great Britain and the Commonwealth Realms. However after this was announced to the Public, many Republicans and parts of the Labour Party advocated for the Abolishing of the British Monarchy. The Conservatives, whom were in power ordered the Suppression of these Radical Claims. After other Calls for dissolution of the United Kingdom, and an underrepresented Close Call in the General Election, British National Stability Collapsed. The Conservatives declared a Provincial Government in the South, While the Socialists and Republicans formed separate Governments in Northern England. During this time, Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales gained Independence and Formed an Alliance against British Unionism. Northern Ireland was occupied by the Republic of Ireland. The British Royal Family has at first Fled to France and Now is currently in Canada, to avoid the Turbulence in the British Isles. British overseas Territories are currently occupied by Allies to the Provincial Government, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. Whom will come out Victorious and Reunited Great Britain.

Factions

Government

    - [:] Provincial Government

    After the Crowning of Charles as King of the United Kingdom, and the deceleration of Independence by Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall, as well as the Revolts by the Socialists and the Republicans, a Provincial Government was formed in London. The Provincial Government is considered by most Foreign Nations as the Legitimate Government of the United Kingdom. They are primarily consisted of Conservatives, Unionists, Monarchists, and Non-Republican Labors. They are supplied by other Commonwealth Realms Nations, NATO, and the United States.

Official Opposition

    - [:] Peoples Republic of Great Britain

    After the Coronation of Charles III, Much of the Labour Party, declared the Abolishing of the Monarchy and the Creation of a Socialist Republic, and we quickly Supported by the Communists Party of Great Britain. While having Minor Areas in Scotland and Wales, they are mostly Stationed in Northern England. They currently have a Military Government in Manchester, with a Combined Labour and Communist Government. They are backed and Recognized as the Official Government of Great Britain, by the Democratic Republic of Korea, Peoples Republic of China, Cuba, and Vietnam.

    - [:] Republic of Great Britain

    The Green Party of England and Wales as well as other Republicans, Collaborated with the Socialists in Abolishing the Monarchy, but left the Alignment after the Labors were aided by Communists. The Republic controls a large amount Northern and Western England, and has a Temporary Capital in York. The Republic has no Official Supporters but like in Scotland, some of the European Union may want to aid them in creating an English Republic, however the Republic wants to remain United.

Alliance of Anti-Unionism

    - [:] Scottish Republic

    During the National Crisis between the Labour Party and the Conservatives, The Scottish National Party seized Scotland, and declared Scottish Independence from Great Britain. While not Officially choosing a side of the British Civil War, some think that the SNP lean more towards the Republicans, in hopes of remaining Independent. They are primarily Backed by the Republic of Ireland and the Anti-Unionist Alliance, but some Members of the European Parliament for the European Union hope that they may Remain Independent and Join the European Union.

    - [:] Republic of Wales

    Around the Same Time Scotland and Cornwall declared Independence, Plaid Cymru, a Welsh Political Party declared Welsh Independence, and formed a Government in Newport. Similar to Scotland they also have minor Support from the Republic of Ireland and Individuals in the European Union. However they have No Official backers other than the Alliance of Anti-Unionism

    - [:] Free State of Cornwall

    Along with other Deceleration of Independence in Scotland and Wales, Cornwall declared Independence shortly after the fall of the British Government. They are members of the Anti-Unionist Alliance, but are less committed than Wales and Scotland. Unlike other participants in the British Civil War, the Cornish are the most Right-Wing, with the Right-Wing Cornish National Party in control of the Free State.

Outcome

A Hypothetical Outcome would be uncertain and my Statement could be wrong, however I believe the Provincial Government would eventually retake the Nation. Mostly in part of International Recognition by NATO, the Commonwealth, and most European Union, and the Fact that they control one of the Most Industrial Areas and could easily Catch More. And the Peoples Republic would be divided by the Socialists and Communists, as well as in the Republic, Progressive versus the Capitalists. Once the Republic and Peoples Republic dealt with, The Alliance Against Anti-Unionism would be crushed, and Great Britain would be restored to Order.

The Commonwealth of Nations


The Imperial Federation of The Commonwealth of Nations commonly called The Imperial Commonwealth, is a Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy throughout the Globe. In Africa It is bordered on the north by The Kingdom of Egypt, in Europe to the south by The French Union, in Asia to the east is Thailand and on the west of The Gulf States by Saudi Arabia. The Imperial Commonwealth has has an estimated population of 2.5 Billion. The Imperial Commonwealth comprises of 6 Member-States, 2 Junior Member-States, and 26 Colonies and Protectorates.

History

During the Eighteen Century, The Imperial Federation League was formed in London, which advocated the the Unity of the United Kingdom and The Dominions (Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand) in an Imperial Federation and wished for the creation of an Imperial Parliament. Secretary of the State to the Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain would be a large advocate of the Imperial Federation League, and with Greater Campaigning and more loses and the 2nd Boer War, The Dominions would begin to see themselves as Weaker Divided, so in the 1903, The Colonial Conference would succeed, in creating an Imperial Parliament, and would see the British Government Federalized, creating the Imperial Federation of the British Empire. Parliament would loose Local Authority, delegating it to Local Governments, while Trade, Defense, and Law would be managed by the New Imperial Parliament. A decade later, The Imperial Federation would Honor their Treaties with France and Belgium, and would declare war on the German Empire and Central Powers. However the United Imperial Armed Forces would quickly advance in the Western Front and Middle East, ending the War slightly Earlier. The Imperial Armed Forces would also be sent to Russia, to aid the White Army Faction to eradicate the Bolsheviks and reinstate the Tsar in a Constitutional Monarchy. Right after the War however, Th Egyptian Revolt would begin, and would force to give the Kingdom of Egypt independence, however continuing the Co-Ownership of Sudan. During this time also, Iraq would gain Independence, and the British would continue the Promise of Palestinian Independence once ready. In 1927, another Colonial Conference would be Held, and many members of the Delegation would call that the Imperial Federation is outdated, and would call for Reforms, which leads to the Pass of the Statue of Westminster and the Creation of the Imperial Federation of the Commonwealth of Nations, as well as Giving India, Dominion and Membership Status. In 1939, defending their Ally Poland, the Imperial Commonwealth would declare war on Germany, and soon Italy and Japan. However with the Aid of the Imperial Armed Forces and the United States and Soviet Union, The Axis Powers are defeated. The Imperial Commonwealth, however sharing a common Government of Democracy with the United States, would be angered by American Pressure to Decolonize. The Imperial Commonwealth would refuse and would leave NATO, Inviting the French Union, Portugal, and other Colonial Powers in the Imperial Front, creating a Third Party to the Cold War. In the 1950's, The Commonwealth would give in to Israeli and Jordanian Independence. However a Larger Problem would arise in Egypt, with their Revolution, replacing the Monarchy with a Republic, and wishing to Nationalize the Suez Canal. The Imperial Commonwealth and French Union would stage an Intervention, causing the Monarchists to rise up against Nasser, and replacing him with the Old Monarchy. Tension would continue with the Co-ownership of Sudan, which neither Side knowing would last longer, would see the divide of the Region, with the British remaining in the South, but the Egyptians annexing the North and Center. Soon the Cold War would end, with the Collapse of the Soviet Union, and the United States opening the Gates to Friendly Relations and to remain as a Safeguard to Democracy and The Americas.

Economy

The British Empire Economic Conference of 1925 would suggest the formation of a zone of limited tariffs within the British Empire, but with high tariffs with the rest of the world. This was called "Imperial preference" or "Empire Free-Trade" (later Commonwealth Preference). This abandonment of open free trade led to a split in the British government and political parties. Liberals and conservatives divided into free traders and imperialists. The approval of the Import Duties Act of 1927 establish the Imperial preference system and the Imperial Trade Board in charge of its implementation. The Imperial Commonwealth has a Way of Self Sufficiency on the Policy of Resources and Trade, with Surplus Resources in One Area being Traded to another Areas in Need of that Resource. That way Famines are near Impossible, and If one Area goes into an Recession, other Colonies gain aid it to recover. However, if the Area with the Resource needs it, it will not be Exported. Their are also various Trade Triangles in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, that help supply Resources easier.

The Imperial Commonwealth has a very Large Gross Domestic Product, thanks to the High Textile Industry in India, as well as the Resources in Malaysia, and Rare Minerals in Africa, The Spices in the West Indies, and the Industrialization in Britain. Recently, Their has been Recent Efforts by the Imperial Economic Board to increase Workers Conditions and Pay, lowering Taxes on the Poor and Working Class, and also increasing Wages, to increase the British GDP Per Capita, which is in need to Improvement. The Economic Board has also been Funding More Industrialization in Africa, attempting to create more Jobs and to create more Economic Output. They also hope it can decrease Primitive Lifestyle and create Modern and Industrial Living Spaces.

Government

The Imperial Commonwealth is a Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy, with the Current Head of State being Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the Dominions, also holding the Title of Empress Elizabeth I of India. The Imperial Commonwealth has a very strong Parliament tradition, essentially being a form of Westminster Democracy. There are two main tiers of government: Federal and Regional.

Colonies and Protectorates also have Governments, but these are Overseen by the Imperial Parliament. Each State and Territory has a Regional Governor whom are Delegates to the Imperial Parliament.

Introduction

Today's Question that we have to answer is how The United States would loose the American Revolutionary War. However the only thing we need to do is the British Army instead of laying a Seige in the Battle of Long Island, They Easily finish them off, and the Continental Army would be demolished and General Washington captured. The Revolution would lass a few more Weeks, but would be crushed and the Thirteen Colonies would be reintroduced into the Kingdom of Great Britain.

The Timeline

After British Victory in the French and Indian War, The Kingdom of Great Britain, while gaining various of Territories in North America and India, Britain was in a £65 Million Debt. The British Parliament decided since most of the War was Defending the American Colonies, Taxes were created on the North American Colonies. However various of these Taxes were repealed after various of Protests and Boycotts. However once the Tax on Tea was created, Citizens of Boston dressed up like Native Americans, and dumped a shipment into the Harbor. The British Government disgusted by this ordered the City to be Occupied by the British Army, and Massachusetts to become under British Oversight. Other Colonies were Worried and then Angered that they may be Next. In the First Continental Congress, They offered the British to end the Taxes, and in turn the Colonies would gain reforms. However, King George III refused, and so Congress ordered the Militia to begin arming themselves. They were storing Supplies at Concord, so British Forces from Boston attempted to Seize the Supplies and Disband the Militia. The Two Armies were at a Standoff, until Someone Fired. The British retreated from Concord and then Lexington and forced back to Boston. Boston would be put under Siege for the next 10 Months, and Congress named George Washington as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. However with American Reinforcements from Fort Ticonderoga, the British Retreated and abandoned the City. The Continental Army would relocate to New York to defend the City, knowing it as a British Target. During this Time, the 2nd Continental Congress would declare independence from Great Britain creating the United States of America.

However a Large British Fleet and Force would force the Americans to Brooklyn Heights, by attacking them on Two Sides. The Americans would be overrun by British Forces and both Sides would suffer Many Casualties, but the Americans would be Crushed and Washington would be Captured, Kill, or Severally wounded. With Washington out of Command, The War would last a Few More Weeks, but with aid from Loyalist Forces the American Revolution would End. In the Treaty of London, Britain fear of Further Rebellions would End the Taxes imposed to the Colonies. The Colonies would be in Debt to the British, and The British Would pass the British North American Act, with the creation of a Local Legislation and Government in North America.

After the War, Spain, feeling Threatened by the British Position in North America, would return Louisiana to their Ally, The Kingdom of France, in hopes that France can defend any Notion of British Expansion into North America, especially since Spain remained at war with Portugal, whom was an Ally to the Kingdom of Great Britain. France and Spain would renew their Alliance to combat the Powerful British Empire. Meanwhile British would continue limited Expansion in North America (Western Canada), but primarily was Expanding in Asia. In order to decrease the British Debt, the British East India Company was Illegally Trading Opium to China, and Expanding into Indian States and Principalities. Before the Revolution, Captain James Cook found the Continent of Australia and Claimed the Southwestern area of it for Great Britain. With American Liberalizing and Industrializing, Parliament wanted a Penal Colony under their Direct Rule so in 1788 the first Prisoners as well as a Fleet of 11 Ships landed and Established the Colony of New South Wales.
