Die Rotfront Marschiert

future alt-history thing. will work on it when am done with the current ones. and also gotta wait for my laptop to get fixed so can do stuff with paint.net mayb.

=Summary= The Spartacus League successfully overthrew Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1918. The Workers and Soldiers establish a German socialist state. they immediately sue for peace and because of this don't lose as much land, only losing Alsace-Lorraine. Germany remains incredibly powerful and devoted to advancing Socialism. =1910s=

Russia
After losing to Germany in 1917 the Russian Empire lost massive amounts of land in eastern Europe, because of this loss to the german the Tzar was forced to abdicate the throne. After his abdication, the Russian Republic was established but not long after they would be overthrown by the Bolsheviks, and the Russian civil war would begin. The Russian civil war would go from 1917 to 1921 when the Reds would fight against the Whites, the Polish, Austria, Japan, and Western intervention but would win against all odds creating the USSR.

Germany
in 1917 Germany won a great victory against the Russian empire and was able to reroute troops from the East to the West. Although it might look like Germany might win now with the eastern front won but it wouldn't be that easy as the stalemate continued.

with the continuation of the stalemate so did the slow starvation of Germany. the German people were sick and tired of the war so they revolted against the Kaiser and overthrew and exiled him, he later tried to flee to the Netherlands where he was shot by a Dutch border guard angry at the former Kaiser for the atrocities committed in Belgium. Right after this, they sue for peace with the Entente. in the Treaty of Versailles Germany was to pay reparations and give territory. Germany lost Alsace-Lorraine and paid some reparations but stopped paying in 1921. a Communist Germany sacred the entente, so they would try and sabotage it by starting a civil war. After the successful revolution, Germany gave all the territory it won in the treaty brest-litovsk back to the Soviets allowing them to have extra manpower letting them win the civil war in 1921.

German Civil War (1919 - 1920)
Kaiser Willhelm II was killed but his son now Whillhelm III was able to escape Berlin in time. he fled to the Netherlands before returning to Germany and go and try to retake his throne. He started his counter-revolution in Hanover where there was still a strong loyalist force, this force was called white forces by some in parallel with white Russian monarchist forces. soon he was able to take a good part of northwestern Germany. this Civil War was short-lived and ended not long after Whillhelm III was assassinated. after the defeat of the White forces, no attempt at counter-revolution would ever happen again.

Austria-Hungary
After Germany leaves the war Austria-Hungary quickly falls apart and loses control of Hungary with all of the lands of the Kingdom of Hungary revolting, not for an independent kingdom but a Soviet republic. Now just Austria again the Austrian Empire now has to fight on multiple fronts, in Italy, Hungary, and Galicia. the Hungarian soviet republic has to fight against the Austrians but Slovak nationalists, the Kingdom of Romania, and Yugoslavia.

this all only ends in 1923 after the war in Transilvania ended with the Soviet invasion of Bessarabia forcing Romania to surrender and The Communist Revolution in Bohemia and Moravia ending the Austrian empire.

the Hungarian Soviet Republic was able to keep a majority of its territory only losing Croatia.

France
France was ruined by the war and Germany refused to pay war reparations and with British moderatism France would receive no reparations and although they technically won the great war they had lost greatly.

Belgium
Belgium was one of the worse off after the great war being left destroyed after the war and many dead. After the great war Belgium became a British puppet state.

Romania
Romania faced humiliation during the great war but did eventually pushed back the Austro-Hungarians. Romania was not done with war and immediately entered the transylvania war with the Hungarian Soviet republic. Romania would lose alot of territory it had gained from the past few years after they lost the transylvania war and Soviet-Romanian war.

Serbia
Serbia took Bosnia and it united with Montenegro after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and wanted to expand further, it joined the war against the Hungarian Soviet Republic for Croatia and actually won against them unlike everyone else going to war with them and was able to push the Hungarians out of Croatia and the Austrians out of Slovenia.

Italy
After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Italy immediately took Trieste and south Tyrol but was not allowed to take any more territory in the east Adriatic coast because the new Yugoslavia had established itself. not gaining as much territory as promised, Italy felt betrayed, and with their economy in ruins the future didn't look good.

Bulgaria
Bulgaria was the second to capitulate in the great war, it was unable to sustain the war after the Germans sued for peace and stopped supporting the central powers. The rest of the central powers fell apart after the German peace deal as they supported the entire central powers. Bulgaria lost all the territory it had annexed during the Great War and lost land in Macedonia after the war. With the Bulgarian economy in tatters the future of Bulgaria looked red.

Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire had been on the verge of collapse for decades now after the loss of its Balkan lands its end drew even closer. when the Great War started the Ottoman Empire quickly began losing ground and worse for them, Arabs had begun revolting against them and were winning massive victories along with the British and French invading. after the end of German involvement in the Great War the Ottoman Empire was unable to support itself and soon would go into civil war and fighting to keep its independence.

Greece
Greece was split from the beginning on what side to join the Great War, but it eventually decide to join the Entente in the summer of 1917. Because of this decision, Greece would be forever divided politically. With Greek participation on the winning side of the war, Greece was going to win the spoils of war and gain more land, taking over all of southern Macedonia and plans to take more territory from the Ottomans. With this victory, it might seem that Greece may be one of the best-off countries in Europe and may become a world power but those dreams were ruined by piling debt after the Great War and Depts they were owed being unable to be paid. The War had only just begun for Greece.

=1920s=

Germany
After the end of the German civil war and the defeat of the whites, the new Communist government's next task was to rebuild Germany from the ground up by beginning the collectivization of the economy. although these collectivization efforts were accepted and welcomed by the majority of Germans it was opposed by German kulaks in the more rural areas in the east like Pomerania, Silesia, and Prussia. This would lead to the kulaks threatening to burn crops which many did but the Government Reacted quickly and seized crops and arrested kulaks.

The new German state was going to need a new name and flag, the new name of this state would become the Freie Sozialistische Republik Deutschland, or Free Socialist Republic of Germany, and use the same flag as the Spartacist League. This new state would also move the capital from Berlin to Frankfurt for its symbolism during the 1848 revolutions. The FSRG wanted to appear different from the soviet union as the leader of the FSRG Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg had their disagreements with Lenin, but they did want to keep good relations with the Soviet Union because they now shared an even bigger border since the USSR took Galicia from Austria, and the Red Army was Massive. The rule of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg would sadly be cut short after Karl was assassinated in 1923 by a Freikorp operative and Rosa Luxemburg later retired in 1925 after increasing fear for her life. The successor to these two would change the history of Germany forever, this man's name was Ernst Thälmann, the New Chairman of the new KPD.

Ernst Thälmann would radically change the FSRG first by changing the flag back to the German tri-colour of black, red, and black with the symbol of the KPD on the flag. The Second was to start good relations with the USSR, Thälmann was far more pro-soviet and thought that the new Germany should ally itself with the USSR. The third was to move the capital back to Berlin and create the Volkskammer in the old Reichstag building. The fourth was to change the name of the country from the Freie Sozialistische Republik Deutschland to the Deutsche Demokratische Republik or the German Democratic Republic.

USSR
The civil war ends in 1921 with Soviet victory but another potential war starts after the Japanese who are still angry about their losses in Siberia tried to take the port city of vladivostok but fail after a quick reaction by the red army. Because of this Soviet-Japanese tensions rise high and the next war the Soviets fight will likely be against Japan.

In 1921 only a few weeks after the end of the civil war the Soviet union joins the anti-Austria coalition and goes to war with what's left of the austrian empire and begin what's know as "The galician war." They absolutely crush the Austrians with Hungarian support and also arm revolutionaries in bohemia-moravia against the Austrians. By 1922 the Austrians surrender to Hungary and the Soviet Union, in the treaty of Bratislava bohemia-moravia becomes and independent socialist state and Austria is forced to recognize all its losses during the war.

In 1924 lenin passes away from a stroke and is succeeded by stalin, trotsky and bukharin both oppose this from each of their sides but both are purged, bukharin is ousted from the party later arrested and executed, trotsky and some of his supporters flee to Norway then france where then they make their way to Mexico.

In 1928 the leaders of Germany, the Soviet union, Finland, Hungary, bohemia-moravia, and Mongolia meet in Budapest to create an Alliance between the socialist states and create the Budapest pact, a defensive but also economic and general military alliance between socialist nations.

Finland
Finland was under a German puppet until 1918 when the new german government gave all the territory they won from Russia back to the Soviet union, Finland stated under Soviet control but was allowed Independence as a socialist state. In 1920 the Finnish Socialist republic was born.

Italy
Italy was on the winning side of the great war and the anti-Austrian war but had come out with a terrible economy, it had suffered greatly against Austria-Hungary and when it pushed back against Austria it was a very costly offensive. Not to mention the millions now unemployed after the end of the great war and now italy seemed like it would collapse. But then in 1922 a man marched to the Capitol and demanded he be made prime minister, this man was Benito Mussolini.

France
After the war much of northern France was destroyed and the economy fell apart and became more reliant of America and Britain. After the great war ended extremism became popular in France as everything only seemd to get worse. In 1922 inspired by Mussolini's fascists in Italy far-right politician Francois Rocque leader of Le parti radical national leads a coup of the French third republic. This coup was also joined by Victor Napoleon, who wanted to reestablish the French empire and the imperial throne, Francois agreed to this believing he could use louis as a puppet while he did the actual ruling. In 1923 Victor was declared Napoleon V and with this the third French empire was created.

United States
In 1923 the United states helps found the league of nations after peace has finally been settled.

In 1928 the great depression happens which causes all of capitalist Europe to crash as well as they were dependent on American investments for their economy to stay afloat. The great depression would have grave consequences and change the history of European countries like Yugoslavia, UK, Spain, France, and many more but also, their own country.

=1930s=

Austria
After the abdication of Karl I Austria became a republic, this didn't change the fact that Austria was just humiliated in two massive wars and was left in ruins. The problem seemed to be fixed after American investors arrived but that quickly failed after 1928. All of this instability led to a syndicalist revolution in 1935 creating the Austrian commune. The Austrian commune denounces the Budapest pact and the Grand entente causing them to be surrounded by enemies, this leads to the Austrian civil-war in 1937 which leads to the defacto collapse of the Austrian commune as they now only control the north-east while fascists control the south. This civil war quickly ended though with German intervention, Germany occupied Austria and annexed it in 1938.

Germany
After the annexation of Austria Germany seeks to integrate Austria into the rest of Germany by collectivizing its economy into the Greater German economy.

In 1939 Germany has grown to be one of the world's strongest economies and has a population of 120 million.

because of Mussolini's imperial ambitions, the German annexation of Austria was met with strong opposition from Italy. this laid the seed for a future war.

Yugoslavia
Economic depression effects Yugoslavia too in 1928 and the country goes on a downward spiral. Ethnic conflict explodes and the country is taken over by a regent council after King Alexander I was assassinated in 1930 and his heir Peter II was only 7. This council is later taken over by the military and Yugoslavia officially becomes a military dictatorship. This military dictatorship doesn't last as the country is split in 2 with fascists in Croatia and communists in Serbia. Yugoslavia luckily was able to avoid civil war and dissolved in 1932 creating the Croatian state as a fascist dictatorship and the People's Republic of Serbia as a Communist State.

France
In response to rising communist states France and some of the former allied powers members of the great war form the Grand Entente. The Grand entente members are France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, the UK, Croatia, and Romania.

Italy
In October of 1935 Italy starts the Second Italo-Ethiopian war. With the Support of the Grand entente. The war is bloody and the Ethiopian fought to the very end but they lost the war. Emperor Haile Selassie went into exile and was invited to in exile in Berlin of all places. The Budapest pact Although an Alliance of Communist Republics decided to support the Ethiopian empire Against Italy and continued to support the Arbegnoch Partisan's fight against the Italian invaders.

In 1939 Italy took over Albania and turned it into a protectorate.

In 1938 Italy denounced the annexation of Austria and would mobilize troops to the border in tyrol, Germany met this with thousands of tanks and twice the soldiers. Thalmann then threatened to crush Italy and with this they backed down.

Spain
Spain had been under a military dictatorship since 1923, when the great depression hit in 1928 the Communist party rose massively in popularity leading to the military dictatorship tightening their grip, but his only led to more resistance until the Pact of San Sebastián peacefully overthrew the monarchy.

The republic was unstable from beginning quickly seeing violence between communists and fascists. The violence culminated in the 1936 election being won by Jose diaz and his communist party. This led to Francisco franco to take the Spanish African army and attack the mainland, starting the Spanish civil war.

The civil raged one from 1936 to 1939 and was won by the Republicans with help from the Budapest pact. José Diaz look over and created the people's republic of Spain cementing spain is now communist and this was a massive loss to the grand entente as Spain still controlled north Morocco and thus the Strait of Gibraltar which allowed the Budapest pact to close off the Mediterranean. This would be another seed planted for a future second great war.

China
in 1936 the Budapest Pact decided to stop supporting Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists against the Japanese. this came as a shock to the nationalists as the Budapest pact supplied them with the majority of their ammunition, guns, and armored vehicles. without their support, the nationalists would fall to the Japanese in the next war. but in 1938 the Soviet Union invaded the Ma clique and occupied their territory and told all Chinese communists to either hide until the right time or come to Xinjiang.

in 1937 japan invaded mainland China and without Budapest pact support they didn't stand much of a chance and lost even more land by 1939.

Japan
Japan went to war with China starting the Second Sino-Japanese War. the National Revolutionary Army although large had many supply problems to was unable to properly feed its soldiers and they fell apart into mutiny and lost in 1939. Japanese established a puppet government made up of Kuomintang collaborators.

although it seemed like the Soviet Union and the Budapest pact gave up on China, the truth couldn't be further from that.

=1940s=

USSR
in 1940 Trofim Lysenko became director of the Institute of Genetics within the USSR's Academy of Sciences, he had big plans for the Soviet plan of transformation of nature. for these plans, he moved out to the Central Asian republics to lead the project. Most of the early years were begun with small-scale irrigation in Uzbekistan to create more farmland which was a success and doubled the available farmland in the republic, but Lysenko had bigger plans. his biggest idea was to increase the size of the Aral Sea and reshape the terrain so arable land would increase, along with massive canal and river projects across all the central Asian republics. the Aral Sea was increased 3x in size and hundreds of rivers and canals were created, stretching out in every direction. this massively increased arable land and as a consequence, the population increased to 100 million in the region, the USSR had created a whole new breadbasket for the country. in 1944 the city of Tashkent was renamed to Lysenkograd in his honor.

in 1940 the Soviet Union gathers 5 million troops at the border of Manchuria and another 5 million gathered in Xinjiang, with them are 6 million German troops, 1 million Hungarian troops, 500000 Bohemian-Moravian troops, 100000 Finnish troops, and another 100000 Mongolian troops. supporting them are estimated 10 million Chinese communist guerilla fighters. these massive armies would invade the Japanese puppet states in a massive war going from 1940 to 1943 known by the Budapest pact as "The War of Chinese Liberation" but known to the rest of the world as "the China War" or "the Soviet-Japanese war." Japan surrendered and gave up all it's territory outside of the mainland.

Mexico
In 1941 an assassination attempt on leon trotsky fails, motivated by this attempt on his life Trotsky rallied support and overthrows the Mexican Government and installs himself as president of Mexico now the People's Republic of Mexico.

Trotsky would take absolute power as Generalissimo of the People's Republic of Mexico, he would rapidly industrialize and modernize Mexico similar to that of the Soviet Union. Trotsky would grow paranoid and would kill those he suspected of trying to betray him. Under Trotsky, Mexico did actually see prosperity and an increase in birth rate and the population was very fond of the new state. because of this Trotskyism became popular in Western communist circles.

Trotsky would also rapidly militarize Mexico building up its military and locally making tanks and fighters.

Trotsky as part of his permanent revolution invaded Central America after the locals te Belize overthrew the colonial government in 1943. after the colonial government was overthrown Belize became occupied by the PRM and after this, the PRM decided to invade the rest of Central America. Trotsky wins many battles in the war and occupies most of Central America but is stopped under threat of American intervention and his invasion stops at Honduras.

United States
In 1940 the United States was in a very deep depression, FDR's New Deal had worked temporarily but didn't fix all the economy's problems. With this continued depression a new ideology came to prominence, that ideology was technocracy. The failure of the New Deal only led to the technocrats gaining more and more popularity and this led to the victory of Technocracy Incorporated in the 1944 elections in a landslide. Howard Scott would become President and would use his power to dissolve the Senate and the Congress. After the dissolution of the Senate and Congress Technocracy Inc formed the United Technates of America and created the Technocratic Directory as the main and only legislature. Howard Scott would end the Presidency instead replacing it with the Head of the Directory, a government position which made him the most powerful man in the country.

Technocracy inc was full of different factions. there were many but the biggest were, the moderates who wanted to keep the old America alive just with some changes to its economy, the Radicals who sought to drastically change American culture like banning religion and revising history, and the Pragmatists who wanted to do some of both the moderates and radical, they also were advocates for neutrality in the cold war between the Grand Entente and the Budapest Pact, there were the Socialist who wanted a more planned economy based on the Soviet Union's Planning but were less populist than the Communist Budapest Pact, but they still wished to either join them or ally with the Budapest pact, the Fascists who wanted a more class collaborationist economy but were also ultranationalistic and militarist and wanted to side with the Grand Entente, the smallest of the Factions were the liberals who were more capitalist and pro-free trade and less isolationist.

The UTA was not universally loved by the people and saw many strikes across the UTA, wildcat strikes happen in Chicago as some of the Technocrat's reforms were not supported like the 24/7 services and little time off as well as local Technocrat inc bosses treating workers poorly led to the Great Chicago Strike of 1945 which threatened to be the beginning of the Greater workers revolution across the UTA and it almost seemed like the UTA was over but Howard Scott intervened and got a good deal.

The Technocrats wished to create one large technate across the whole North American continent so the UTA started invading and couping Central American and Caribbean Governments and would directly invade Cuba and annex it.

in 1947 after a coup attempt on Trotsky failed, the People's Republic of Mexico went to war with the UTA that very same year, Starting the Second Mexican-American War.

The war saw a great initial success for Mexico With them even navally invading New York, they also are able to Crush UTA Puppets in Central America by 1948. in June of 1949, the Mexican army launches two massive offenses in an attempt to encircle Washington pushing further north and overextending their forces and starting the siege of Chicago and the battle of Washington both ending in American Victories. By November 1951 the Mexican forces are pushed back into Mexico and by mid-1952 the UTA launches a full scale invasion of Mexico and

China
In 1945 Mao Tse-tung is in Beijing, it October the 1st and Mao Tse-tung and the central committee of the Communist Party of China stand at Tiananmen Square, and in a fiery speech, Mao Tse-tung declares the creation of the People's Republic of China.

The new China would refuse to be divided so it United fully incorporated all of mainland China, the island of Taiwan, Mongolia, and Tuva.

Mao Tse-tung would begin Massive campaigns the like that had never been seen before, the first two were the land reform campaign started in 1945 which eliminated the petit-bourgeois landlord class and collectivized land, and Zhen Fan in 1946 the campaign to stamp out any remaining Kuomingtang resistance. the last campaign of the decade would start in 1948-1949 Known as the Three-anti and Five-anti Campaigns, the first campaign the Three-anti Campaign was launched against Corrupt CPC members Former Kuomingtang Members, and Bureaucratic capitalist politicians and officials. the Second campaign Started in 1949 and was mostly centered in the bigger cities and mostly targeted the industrial bourgeois class and collectivized industry in the big cities.

The thing that separated Chinese Communism from the likes of Soviet or German Communism was the massive populism and cultural changes they enacted, rather than it being just another policy the actions changed the culture of China from that of a backward superstitious land to a modern intellectual and artistic land which abandoned the ways of the past and marched forward.

Bulgaria
Bulgaria had been suffering for many years as it was on the losing side of the great war and was forced to pay reparations which destroyed its already fragile economy which fell apart after Germany left the war. American investors did seem to come to the rescue as many Americans wanted to Invest in the upcoming rose oil craze. With this Bulgaria's economy grew exponentially, but the same as many other countries with the start of the great depression in 1928 Bulgaria's economy lost all investment. Although even with this loss in investment one thing remained, a new petit bourgeois class had risen from the rose oil craze and were still able to remain influential in the country. During the great depression in Bulgaria, the Soviet Union offered to support Bulgaria economically and their claims to southern Dobruja so long as they could use Bulgaria's ports on the Black Sea. Bulgaria's Tzar knowing the infamous relationship between Tzars and communists refused. Because of this, the USSR increased funding to the Bulgarian communist party which skyrocketed in popularity among the working class. Over the next few years the rose oil barons and the industrial bourgeois would increasingly take control of the government, many in Bulgaria saw this and saw Tzar Boris III as incompetent and overthrew him in the 1943 juin revolution. After the revolution, the communist party would take over Bulgaria and later that same year joined the Budapest Pact.

Romania
In 1943 after the June Revolution in Bulgaria Succeeded in overthrowing the Tzar, the Romanian Monarchy feared the same would happen to them, this led to Ion Antonescu to convince Carol II to make him prime minister, saying "he would defend Romania and it's independence." Ion would later join the Grand entente as some of his first actions in office and immediately hand over Romania's struggling over to French Companies.

Ion's reforms although they seemed to fix many of Romania's problems at first, were incredibly unpopular among some nationalists and workers as French companies extracted many of Romania's natural resource and exploited workers for profit in exchange for "protection."

Greece
The 1940s were an unstable time for Greece, the popular George II died in 1947 and without him there was nothing holding back the Rising Metaxists from taking power and joining the Grand Entente, however their power wasn't absolute as the All People's front also rised in popularity and many thought a civil war was on the horizon. the anxious people in the middle were right and the civil war started that same year.

the civil war could go on from 1947 to 1949 and end in communist victory and Nikos Zachariadis taking power over greece.

=1950s=

Mexico
in February of 1953, Mexico City falls but Trotsky flees to Villahermosa and vows to continue the fight, but the UTA shocks the world by using the first-ever nuclear weapon on a populated city, Nuclear weapons had existed since 1948 but their destructive power had never been seen publicly. In the explosion, Trotsky was killed and the remnants of the government held up in Campeche capitulated.

With this Trotskyism failed and this led to an unintended consequence, this loss made all forms of Communism seem like a failure except for one, which was Marxism-Leninism, and it would be the hegemonic leftist ideology of the world.

UTA
After the Second Mexican-American War was over the UTA annexed Mexico and the rest of central America, with this victory Howard Scott got closer to his dream of a United North American Technate.

To consolidate power technocracy inc merged many labour unions into single unions to have better control over the workers like creating the AFL-CIO, in response the IWW created a branch specifically for North America called industrial workers of America, this grew to be even bigger then the AFL-CIO but was forced underground by the UTA. The IWA would also gain support from the Budapest pact in secret as they were planning a Worker's uprising. It's not known if Howard Scott knew about the Budapest Pact's support for the IWA but many believe if he did he wouldn't actually alienate the Budapest pact, because as a pragmatist he wouldn't want to make a very strong and growing stronger enemy.

USSR
USSR went into a political crisis after Joseph Stalin passed away in 1953, nobody knew who was going to take power and some outside of the USSR would worry that revisionists would take over the USSR. the person wanting to stop that from happening was Thalmann. He would work with Kliment Voroshilov to overthrow and imprison any opposition to the new person he was going to put in charge, the person he chose to succeed Stalin was an old friend of Stalin and someone important to his rise to power, Lazar Kagnovich.

Stalin's now successor was actually incredibly popular due to his important role as Minister of Construction Materials Industry aka his role in the mass industrialization of the Soviet Union, so when it was public that he was going to become general secretary everyone would be delighted by this new and be completely behind him. Lazar would rule alongside some of Stalin's other great friends like Voroshilov and Molotov.

in 1957 Lazar and Voroshilov decided to begin military reform of the Red Army changing it to the Red Armed Forces and creating branches. the Branches were the Red Army, the Red Navy, and the Red Airforce, this reform was to simplify and split it to have a proper airforce and navy outside of the Army.

In 1958, the Red Armed Forces had a Strength of 20 million soldiers.

Bohemia-Moravia
In 1952 the People's Republic of Bohemia-Moravia went into crisis as ultranationalist militants led an uprising in the countryside. at first, the Budapest Pact was not worried and believed all they would have to do was keep supporting the Bohemia-Moravia military and they would put it down on their own, but it came as a surprise to everyone when the ultranationalists started winning and after that, it was declared that the conflict became a civil war. the ultranationalists were also ethnonationalist and began killing Germans in The Sudetenlands and in response, the German People's Army occupied The Sudetenland.

later that same year the ultranationalists won major battles against the People's Republic of Bohemia-Moravia and were at the gates of Prague the Budapest pact decided to intervene and quickly defeated the ultranationalists preventing a fascist foothold in Central Europe.

During this intervention a new tank had been seen on the Battlefield, it was over 35 tonnes of steel and used a 100mm gun. it was nicknamed the Red Beast, and soon word spread of this new deadly medium tank.

Germany
After the intervention of the Budapest Pact in what was called the Bohemia crisis, Germany occupied Bohemia-Moravia. there were calls for Germany to annex the Sudetenlands and some even called for the full annexation of Bohemia-Moravia.

a referendum was held in 1953 to ask whether they wanted to join Germany or stay independent. the referendum was majority won by the join Germany option as many in the region saw the old government as unable to protect them from another uprising. so they decided to join Germany.

With this Thalmann said that "the Country is no longer just Germany, so it must change to reflect that." in 1954 Thalmann declared the change from the German Democratic Republic to the Central European Democratic Republic.

Turkey
Turkey had become divided ever since the death of Mustafa kemal ataturk and faction of kemalism rapidly formed of all different sides.

In the 1950s a fascist faction of the Republican people's party became increasingly popular, with this came increased violence against Armenian in turkey. The rise of the fascism in turkey concerned the Budapest pact so they had plans to overthrow the government if fascists took complete power. The Budapest Pacts worst fears came true as fascists led a successful coup in 1955 Turning turkey into a fascist dictatorship with plans to join the Grand entente, the Budapest pact wouldn't except this and would react before turkey could join the Grand entente by invading Turkey 1 week after the coup.

Balkan Budapest pact countries immediately marched to take thrace and Istanbul while the Red army went from the east into great Armenia area. The Red army quickly reached Ankara in just 2 weeks but turkey still held the line in thrace so the Red Navy decided to cross the black sea and go to Istanbul and into the bosphorus and bomb Istanbul. The very threat of bombing Istanbul caused Turkey to surrender, and in the subsequent treaty of Skopje Turkey was to give up a majority of thrace to Bulgaria and Greece and let the red army occupy the greater Armenia area and Istanbul.

South America
At the beginning of the 1950s revolutionary spirit was high in South America. One of the most notable was the Guerilla War in Argentina led by Ernesto Che Guevara. Che's popularity was rising across all of South America and Around the world gaining almost celebrity status in the Soviet Union as a Brave revolutionary fighting across Argentina in all climates.

Conflict was brewing all across South America as Conflicts between the Military and Government Became more frequent. The ideology pushed by the militaries and governments varied, some governments wanted land reform and to create better worker's rights while the military became controlled by the upper-class statesmen like in Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. sometimes the roles reversed with authoritarian capitalist governments trying to be brought down by the military wanted to create a socialist state like Brazil, Peru, and Chile.

Brazil
Brazil was once again thrown into conflict as the military overthrew Getúlio Vargas, this opened a window of opportunity for Communists and Integralists to begin another uprising.

this began the Brazilian Civil War in 1955 with three factions, the interim military government, the Communists, and the Integralists, and on top of that, the Several States who wanted independence from Brazil.

the Civil War went from 1955 to 1958 and ended with Integralists' victory with help from the Grand Entente.

this conflict would only be the first in the long string of wars and civil wars in South America.
