The Cold War was a conflict that supposedly started at the dawn of the Ethiopian Civil War, although it officially started at the end of World War III. The conflict was fought between the Capitalist Bloc, made up of America, the EU, nations in South America, and many former American-occupied nations, such as South China, South Japan, and South Korea, and the Communist Bloc, made up of the Soviet Union, it's Soviet puppet states in Eastern Europe, former occupied zones, such as North China, Naples, and Andalusia, and many scattered nations, such as Cascadia, whom have adopted a One-party Socialist system.
Beginning[]
In 1973, three years after World War Three ended, Communist forces, under the name "Derg", attempted a Coup in Addis Ababa, the Capital of the Ethiopian Empire. The Derg organized an army, and attempted to launch another invasion to the north, capturing the cities of Gambela and Jima. A week later, the Somali Republic, newly independent, declared war on both of the Ethiopian Nations. Without a reliable army of its own, the Ethiopian Empire asked for assistance, in which the US and Egypt supplied the Empire with men and resources. The Soviet Union replied by sending aid to the Derg. After the Somalis had captured the Somali Region of Ethiopia, the Empire and the Derg combined forces temporarily and attacked Although they were able to recover some lands from Somalia, somalia ended up annexing much of the Somali Region of Ethiopia after the war. In the Peace Treaty, Ethiopia was partitioned into Capitalist North, and communist south.
In Europe, the Soviet Union ordered a Iron Curtain throughout Europe, subsequently dividing Europe into two. The Iron curtain blocked Prussia, Czechoslovakia, East Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Naples, and Andalusia from the West. In the Baltics, the Soviet Union had agreed to release the United Baltic States, made up of Estonia and Latvia. In the Intermarium, a Soviet-backed coup overthrew the non-aligned Republic in favor of a Communist Federation.
In South America, Fascist Peru had been divided up into Communist North Peru, Neutral Lima, and Capitalist South Peru. The two nations engaged combat throughout the entire Cold War, being one of the most costly and bloody wars in the New World. The other major war that took place in South America was the Brazilian Civil War. Although the United States of Brazil had been Capitalist-aligned, but the President of the Republic was a Communist, who wanted to reform the nation and join the second world. Under the leadership of the Communist President, Brazil saw it's nation outlawing Capitalist practices and a sudden shift to Communism. However, a movement called the National Braganza Liberation Movement, led by the Pretender to the Brazilian Throne, Pedro III, took power in Brasilia and marched on and took Rio. The Republic maintained control of most of the Amazon and some coastal regions, before finally submitting to the Second Brazilian Empire.
In Asia, tense relations between the two China's led to South China adopting a Nationalist government. North China continued it's "Cultural Revolution", which saw hundreds of thousands of people work in the fields and in factories. Mass amounts of people fled to Tibet and South China. In South Japan, it's economy began to prosper, as post-war efforts were made to increase the war-torn Economy. South Japan became a major powerhouse and a house to networking and technology. Similar to the two China's, North Japan remained impoverished and a war-torn nation. The dictatorship in North Japan made matters worse, as mass executions took place. In North Korea, the dictator, Kim Il Sung, imprisoned thousands of people in his notorious Prison Camps. However, in South Korea, the economy grew tremendously and with foreign aid, became a major power in East Asia, alongside South Japan.
In Bulgaria, mass protests called for the overthrow of the Communist Regime. Backed by Greece, the People's Republic of Bulgaria fell to Tsarist Loyalists, who reestablished the Tsardom of Bulgaria. The Revolution, also known as the April 14th Revolution, officially symbolized the gradual loss of Soviet control in the Balkans.
In Turkey, the Sultanate of Turkey was overthrown and the People's Republic of Turkey was installed. Greece, a growing power in the region, attacked Turkey in order to restore the Osman Monarchy to power. A successful invasion launched from Cyprus and Crete saw the quick surrender of the People's Republic. In the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish War, Greece annexed European Turkey, the province of Istanbul, and Smyrna. From then on, Greece was known as the Empire of All Romans.
