Description The Second Great War was the deadliest war in Human history. Millions of people were killed in the conflict, with several major cities destroyed (some of them by superbombs), famines across the world and the world economy bankrupt. The worst atrocities of the war were seen in the Americas, where the Fetherson Confederacy launched its “population reductions”, genociding millions of African-Americans and other people viewed as “undesirables”. This would go on to profoundly scar the American psyche, leading to several changes in the country such as the outlawing of segregation. In Europe, the Germans have once again solidified their dominance over Europe and ensured the total defeat of the British, French and Russians. The French and British empires were essentially dissolved by the war, with most of their colonies either being annexed or declaring independence. In the Pacific, the Japanese would take over most of the European colonies there, ensuring their domination in East Asia. Although US and German relations started off positively in the early post-war years, by 1950, the two countries were locked in a cold war against each other, wanting to expand their influence in each other backyards. This Cold War would soon involve Japan, hoping to expand their influence into Africa, Asia and South America. In the former Confederacy, the US would set up a military occupation in hopes of integrating them back into the union. Through this, they removed the planter class from political power and replaced them with labour unions who were sympathetic to their cause of integration. The border states (such as Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina) would successfully assimilate and become states again. The Deep South was much more hostile to American forces, with guerrilla fighters launching attacks against US troops. By the 1960s, many Americans grew tired of the occupation, resulting in the US beginning to withdraw from the Deep South. This caused issues with the African Americans living there, as they believed that an independent South would discriminate against them. It was decided that the Deep South would be partitioned, with the Freedman Republic being for the black population, the Peoples Republic of Dixieland for the White population (with autonomy for the majority black regions) and the Free State of Louisiana for the Creole population. In Canada, the majority of Canadians born after the First Great War would largely assimilate into American culture, having never grown up in an independent Canada. The only exception was Ontario, where Canadian nationalism raged on, leading to the US separating the province as its own independent nation. In Europe, Germany would come to dominate most of the continent, with Britain, Portugal and Russia being the exception. France would be divided between the Pro-German north and the Pro-American south, and the country would become one of the most tense regions in the entire Cold War. German control in Africa was a lot more shaky. Having annexed most of France and Britain's colonies there, MittleAfrika became bloated as the Germans were unable to run it all. This allowed the African independent movement to grow, leading to the decolonization of the continent from the 1950s to 1970s. Ottoman-German relations by the 1960s would grow more strained, as the Germans attempted to spread their influence into the Middle East, Caucasia and North Africa much to the annoyance of the Ottomans, who essentially switched sides and became allies of the Japanese. The Japanese power on the world stage would decline after its heavy loss in the Second Sino-Japanese War, where China was able to resist the Japanese after nearly two decades of gruelling conflict. By the 1980s and 1990s, the Cold War would begin to cool down. Germany and Japan would lose control over Europe and East Asia, while the US was able to secure its position in the Americas. In 2010, a summit between American and German ambassadors was launched in Berlin, in hopes of finally ending the Cold War, with Japan proposing a similar summit.
