World Of Chaos

Unit 2

As Swedish forces were about to mobilized in Finland accompanied by local Finnish forces and other Nordic countries forces and German Air Force suddenly bombed the Naval Base of Danish Navy destroying the whole fleet which was about to send towards Finland, Britain ordered to mobilized the troops towards Denmark to stop the German invasion. British Military also conducted a small military campaign in Northern France to stop the French Military movements. Portugal was afraid to send any troops due to fear of Spanish invasion so they declared neutrality in the war.

As the clashes begins in West Europe, the clash also began in Soviet borders of Finland and Norway. Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian forces crossed into Soviet territories. The initial skirmishes were fierce, with the Nordic forces making significant gains against the unprepared Soviet defenses.

However, the tide turned swiftly. The German troops, seasoned from years of military buildup bolstered Soviet positions along the Finnish and Norwegian borders. Their tactical expertise and superior weaponry quickly turned the tide against the Nordic invaders. In the icy fjords of Norway, French naval forces clashed with Nordic fleets, pushing them back with relentless bombardment and naval superiority.

Meanwhile, in France, divisions of the French Army units mobilized to defend their territories in Western Europe from small units of British forces. Their fierce resistance stymied any attempts by the British forces to flank French positions from the west.

In Denmark, Danish troops began to recaptured the cities while British Air Force began the bombing of cities. They want German troops to back off and stationed in the destroyed cities. The plan was successful as German troops began to withdraw and came back to Germany in the destroyed towns so that they can help the civilians.

The battle raged for weeks, with casualties mounting on both sides. The Nordic nations, initially confident in their offensive capabilities, found themselves increasingly outmaneuvered and outgunned by the combined force of the Soviet Union and its allies. Despite their early successes, logistical challenges and harsh winter conditions began to take their toll on Nordic morale and military effectiveness.

By early spring of 1934, the outcome was clear. Soviet and allied forces had repelled the Nordic invasion with decisive victories along all fronts. German withdraw from the Denmark and British withdrew from France as they were outnumbered. Finnish and Norwegian troops, exhausted and depleted, retreated back across their borders under relentless Soviet counterattacks. The dreams of Nordic expansion into Soviet territories lay shattered in the snow-covered battlefields of northern Europe.

The aftermath of the conflict reverberated across Europe and beyond. The Nordic nations, humbled by their defeat, faced internal political turmoil and external diplomatic isolation. The Soviet Union and it's allies emboldened by their victory, solidified its(USSR) influence over Eastern Europe and tightened its grip on the Baltic states.

The collaboration between Germany and France with the Soviet Union during the conflict reshaped geopolitical alliances and strategies in the World War II. It served as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of international relations and the high stakes of military aggression in the Europe.

As the world watched with bated breath, the Nordic invasion, Soviet Union began to heal from the last war. But in Finland, a Finnish Military Commander staged a military coup against the Finnish President and overthrow the government. Then Finnish Military Commander established Military Rule and adopted the isolation policy. Soon after the coup both Finnish President and PM left the Finland and took political asylum in Sweden and Norway respectively.

The new Finnish Government want both former President and former PM back to Finland but Swedish and Norwegian authorities rejected. Therefore, Finnish Intelligence Agency also conduct a covert operations to bring them back but they failed to do. So in 1935 Finland formed military alliance with Germany.

Later Finland also signed a treaty with Britain called "Treaty of Oxford" on 9th August of 1935. In that treaty, it was written that Britain will pressurised both Norway and Sweden to give former PM and former President back to Finland respectively. And if both Sweden and Norway didn't do then Finland will declared war and Britain again will support Finland.

After this treaty Britain begin to pressurised them but Sweden and Norway refused. In retaliation British troops began the military exercises near their maritime borders. Then Finland and Germany began their own military exercises near their maritime or ground borders to scared them both. In last Sweden and Norway signed a treaty with Finland called "Treaty of Gothenburg" on 5th July of 1936. In that treaty, it was written that Sweden and Norway will hand over former President and former PM to Finland but in one condition that they will be not treated as traitor.

Later former President and former PM were handed over to Finnish authorities and from that moment their information was unknown as Finnish authorities didn't share anything about them to the public.

In the turbulent mid-1930s, Ireland, freshly emerging from the scars of its own revolution and civil war, found itself on the precipice of another seismic shift. The global Great Depression had left many Irish citizens disillusioned with the capitalist systems that seemed to fail them, and whispers of revolution grew louder as the Irish Communist Party gained traction, clandestinely supported by Germany.

Dublin, 1934: The streets echoed with the sounds of protest. Factories were closing, and unemployment soared. The Communist Party of Ireland (CPI), led by the charismatic and fiery Sean O’Malley, promised a new dawn. They spoke of workers' rights, land reforms, and an end to the old guard's dominance. O'Malley, having studied Marxist ideology in Germany, returned with not just ideas but with discreet backing from German communists.

By early 1937, the CPI had infiltrated key positions within the government and military. The tipping point came on a cold December night when the government, weakened and divided, was overthrown in a swift and calculated coup. Armed with German weapons and tactical support, CPI militants stormed key buildings, arresting government officials and declaring a new era of communist rule. The Irish People’s Republic was born.

The new government wasted no time implementing radical reforms. Land was redistributed, industries were nationalized, and a new constitution was enacted. The common folk, initially hesitant, began to see the benefits of these changes as employment rose and poverty decreased. However, not everyone was pleased. The deposed government officials, along with loyalist factions, fled to Northern Ireland, seeking British support to reclaim their power.

In London, the news of a communist government so close to home was met with alarm. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin saw this as a direct threat to British interests and stability in the region. The British government, already wary of Germany’s growing influence in Europe, could not allow a German-backed communist state to thrive on its doorstep. In March 1937, Britain declared war on the Irish People’s Republic, under the pretext of restoring the legitimate government.

British forces, supported by former Irish government loyalists, launched a full-scale invasion of Ireland. The conflict was brutal. British troops landed on the eastern coast, swiftly capturing Dublin. The CPI, although well-prepared, struggled to match the might of the British military. Yet, the spirit of the Irish fighters, bolstered by their ideals and German supplies, made the invasion far from easy.

The Irish countryside became a battlefield of guerilla warfare. CPI fighters, familiar with the terrain, launched hit-and-run attacks on British forces. Villages and towns became strategic strongholds. Meanwhile, in the shadows, German advisors continued to support the Irish resistance, providing intelligence and advanced weaponry.

The war drew international attention. The Soviet Union, wary of Britain but not fully trusting Germany, provided covert support to the CPI. The United States, still recovering from the Great Depression, remained officially neutral but watched closely. Diplomatic channels buzzed with secret negotiations and shifting alliances.

By late 1937, the conflict had reached a stalemate. British forces held the major cities, but the countryside was a patchwork of control. In a daring move, the CPI launched a major offensive in Belfast, aiming to cut off British supply lines. The battle was fierce and decisive. The CPI’s victory in Belfast marked a turning point, as British public opinion grew weary of the prolonged conflict.

In early 1938, while mounting casualties and no clear victory in sight, Spain, Maratha Empire, Kingdom of Nepal and United States of America declared it's support for the Britain. The Treaty of London was signed, mobilizing troops from USA, Spain, Maratha Empire and Kingdom of Nepal in Ireland against Irish People's Republic.
