Winter Of The World 1914
In June 1914, the first steps towards war were made when Archduke Franz Ferdinand, from the house of Habsburg, was assassinated by Slav nationalist Gavrilo Princip.
The End Of The Road 1914 - 1918
During WWI, men had to endure combat and extreme conditions; civilians dealt with food shortages and raids. The insidiousness of ethnic cleansing raised its head, and a young Adolf Hitler took note.
Too Damn Greedy 1919 - 1929
Stalin rises as the leader of the Bolsheviks, and in Munich, the German Workers Party takes a new name: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter, or 'Nazi' as it would come to be called.
We Will Be The Winners 1929 - 1935
Hitler and Stalin begin to shape the course of history. President Roosevelt attempts to raise his country out of the Depression, and the world teeters on the brink of yet another World War.
Nothing But Force 1935 - 1939
Hitler's invasion of the Rhineland was a gamble that paid off as his push west remained unchecked; while the leaders of Europe attempt 'peace', Kristallnacht signalled the horrors yet to come to many.
It's Impossible For Us To Lose 1939 - 1941
After a snub in Munich, the Soviets make a pact with the Germans; with the invasion of Poland, the pretence of peace is gone as France and the UK declare war on Germany.
Road To World Domination 1941 - 1944
Operation Barbarossa's endgame does not come to fruition; with the world distracted, Japan launch their attack on Pearl Harbor, forcing American isolationists to join the war in earnest.
Hope Of A Lasting Peace 1944 - 1949
War in Europe ends with Soviet and American troops surrounding the German army; in the Pacific, it takes the devastating nuclear bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to force the Japanese surrender.
