The massive costs of the war, both in human and financial terms, led to collapse to several major players.Russia fell first into civil war followed with austria.Despite Japan and France's best efforts to stabilize it, the Ottoman Empire too dissolved away. China, seeing her allies melt away, signed a peace treaty with Japan, acknowledging the independence of Manchuria. Tibet and Uyghuristan would soon break away as well. In Europe, Britain found herself alone, as austria sought to leave the war.
Sweden dropped out of the war shortly after Russia, fighting civil war on two fronts in both Norway and Denmark. Peace was concluded after 5 years of civil strife and Denmark-Norway created during the peace process.
The tide of war once more turned int the Alliance's favor. The Japanese navy finally forced her way into the Atlantic, slowly eroding Britain's control, and the western NAC found itself under Franco-Japanese attack. Texas was partitioned among the victorious powers, with only the Anglophone regions remaining as a nominally independent nation. The Hispanic regions were annexed by Mexico as the Trans-Bravo Province, the Japanese regions were annexed by Misuri as the Riogurande Province, while the Francophone regions were annexed by Arkansas. Mexico furthermore took the opportunity to expand into Central America and the Caribbean.
The British,russian navy was smashed, and the coast bombarded.
