World War II

"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall never surrender!"

- Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the UK during WW2

World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global conflict that occurred with Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939. Almost every country in the world took part in the conflict and a vast majority forming two military alliances: the Allies and Axis.

European Theatre
In the European Theatre of World War II saw several Allied countries fighting against Nazi Germany and the Italian Empire. As the Soviet Union, French Resistance and Norwegian Resistance effortlessly fought against the forces of Germany, Black Ice interfered and ensured that Germany succeeded in these battles, sabotaging and assassinating capable military commanders, though this was not always the case as Black Ice only worked to preserve the Aryan race and not Nazi Germany itself.

Nazi Germany-French war
As France invaded Nazi Germany in 1939 in response to the Poland invasion, the Wehrmacht retaliated with the sacking of Paris that also led to the Battle of France across the country where ground battles took place between Army units of Nazi Germany and French soldiers.

As this conflict between Nazi Germany and France raged on, the Fascist Vichy French Party supported and sided with Nazi Germany and after France's defeat in 1940 were able to take power within the country and established Vichy France. Despite their efforts, the French Resistance continued to fight back against Vichy France and their Nazi Germany puppet masters.

Invasion of the United Kingdom
In 1941, Heinrich Richtofen, military officer of the Heer and leader of Black Ice, led the invasion on the United Kingdom where the Royal Air Force had lost the air battle with the Luftwaffe, allowing the Heer to invade and occupy the island nation with little effort, as the Luftwaffe carried out numerous bombing runs on British ground bases and crippled the British Army.

During the initial attacks, the Royal Family had fled the country towards Canada while Nazi Germany had established a Fascist government to replace the remnants of the British government. Although Winston Churchill promised no surrender, the execution of British civilians had forced the United Kingdom's surrender to Nazi Germany.

By July 1941, the United Kingdom ceased to exist and the British Union reigned superior in the region, though they were only puppets to Nazi Germany. Resistances were met with entire towns and villages being burned down in response to their insurgency, which worked as rebels across the UK disbanded and discontinued their fighting against German military forces.

Pacific Theatre
The Pacific Theatre of World War II saw the United States in conflict with the Japanese Empire. After the formation of the Strategic Allied Forces, the United States was able to have a fighting chance against the Imperial Japanese Navy. TITAN also lent their support as well in numerous black operations, though these were not public.

Attack on Pearl Harbor
On December 7th, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service launched a surprise attack against the United States Pacific Fleet, which was successful and crippled the United States Navy's ability to retaliate back for the attacks. Although only a few ships survived the attack, they were not enough for the US to take on the fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which had spread across the Pacific.

In the aftermath of the attack, Hawaii was occupied by a large Imperial Japanese Army ground force and had fought against numerous armed American civilians and few United States Army personnel for about three weeks until they were suppressed.
