As the German war machine seems unstoppable the Axis powers decide to invade the USSR on 22nd June 1941.Once again the Axis seemed unstoppable on the eastern front and to regain it's lands it had lost in the Winter War Finland also joined the invasion on the side of the Axis powers.

In the meantime Japan is building it's empire on the pacific at the disdain of the United States.On the 16th October 1941 a fascist coup occurs in Turkey led by Fevzi Çakmak.As the new leader of Turkey he joins the Axis and declares war on Britain and the Soviet Union only 2 days after seizing power.

Turkey's location proves useful to the Axis as they're now able to easily seize the oil rich British territories in the Middle East and start marching into Egypt.As the British is facing enemy forces both on it's western and eastern side in Egypt axis forces are able to capture Egypt after months of fighting.

On the Caucasian front however Turkey doesn't prove to be as useful as in the Middle east and North Africa as they're stuck in the mountains of the Caucasus

Meanwhile the USA declares war on Japan on the December of 1941 due to it's attack on Pearl Harbor, however the American declaration of war on Japan leads to the rest of the Axis siding with Japan.In 1942 the Axis attempts to take over the Caucasus and they manage to even reach Stalingrad but after 8 months of bloody fighting the Germans are finally kicked out of the city.

This greatly boosts Soviet morale and they launch an offensive to kick out the Axis forces from the Caucasus.The offensive is successful and thus it gives the confidence to the allies to launch Operation Torch on the 6th of March 1943

At first they manage capture Morocco and much of Algeria however Germany sent it's newly developed Messerschmitts into battle for the 1st time.on the 11th of March 1943.These new planes were capable of not only protecting German airspace but in the meantime it was also capable of providing Germany with it's much needed air superiority

With the Germans gaining air superiority not only their industrial cities weren't in danger of bombing but now they could finally start decimating allied war production in Britain and the Soviet Union.

Using the situation to it's advantage Germany managed to push back the allied forces in North Africa and they have fully kicked them out on the 18th of April 1943.The German succes in Africa discouraged the allies from the planned landing in Normandy leaving the Soviets completely on their own with the exception of allied soldiers in Africa.

The Germans after this minor setback sent more of their forces to the eastern front where they succesfully recaptured the city of Kursk in the largest tank battle of history.This victory has decimated the Soviets especially since they've lost in the siege of Leningrad too as the city surrendered on the 27th August 1943.

In the meantime Japan was fairly succesful on the Pacific front as altrough the Americans did outproduce the Japanese in ship manufacturing but most of the American fleet was used to protect the British from German naval attacks and submarine raids.As most of the american fleet was focused on Germany they were forced into playing a defensive role on the Pacific

As years went by the Germans finally captured Moscow and the Caucasus region and they even managed to push back the Soviets till the Ural mountains in April 1944.However after this point the frontiline stuck and they were fighting in a stalemate on the eastern front for more than a year.Many members of the communist party wanted peace with Germany as they're no longer capable of continuing the fight with the Germans however Stalin insisted on fighting till the last man.

This stubbornness on Stalin's behalf have led to many resenting him in both the communist party and the military so on the 30th of April 1945 Stalin was overthrown and they've made Nikita Krushchev the new chairman of the party and the Soviet Union sued for peace on the   2nd of May, 1945.

 With the Soviets out of the picture it seemed like nothing could stop the Axis anymore so the allies surrendered on the 12th of June 1947.

 The 2 sides signed the Treaty of Nuremberg and thus officially ending the Second World War.The treaty enabled Germany and Japan to become the leading superpowers in the world however it wasn't too harsh on the British and the Americans as they got away with minor land losses and with no military limitations nor being forced to pay war reparations.

 Altrough the axis countries could've use some money after the war however they even despite their strength they were in no position to impose a harsh treaty on the allies.

As time moved on both sides started working on recovering from the war and due to fear from the newly gained power of the Axis powers the former allies estabilished the  Washington Treaty of Mutual Defense or just WTMD for short in 1954

The victory of the Axis powers have also slowed down decolonization as Germans are brutally supressing any opposition they face on their newly gained colonies.Meanwhile in Britain altrough there are separatist movements but due to fears of the nazis invading them if the British pull out most of the population decided it's not worth it even though Sudan did risk taking it's indepence in 1959 and there's a growing level of separatism on the British colonies.

Altrough everything seems to be going well for the axis but this isn't exactly the case.There are several separatist movements all over the conquered territories of the axis waiting for the opportunity to rise up but for now the Axis power are able to keep order

Meanwhile Italians are still murning because of the death of Mussolini which happened on the 28th April 1958 when he was at the age of 74 due to lung cancer.In the meantime things aren't much better for the Reich as altrough Hitler is still alive but his health is not what it used to be.The 73 year old Führer is in terrible condition as he has parkinson's disease.

He's currently being treated in one of the best hospitals of the Reich but meanwhile party members in the Reichstag are already making plans for his replacement but Himmler  is already preparing a secret  SS coup to estabilish his military rule once the Führer is dead
