  • In 1915 a group of Canadian spies broke into U.S. Department of War in Washington to try to find any war plans or evidence of who America would back in the war. The spies were all captured and hung. A week after the incident, America officially joined the German side of the war and declared war on the allies. American troop poured into Canada and quickly were in control of the major cities and provinces. Britain was forced to send over several thousand soldiers and several warships. Britain quickly saw that this would not be enough and was forced to fight a whole new war on a new western front. Germany took advantage of Britain's disadvantage and was able to defeat the British ships in the English Channel. Now, with France and Belgium being choked and bombarded, things looked bad for the allies. Meanwhile, in America, the United States had won the Battle of Toronto and the British land forces were retreating. Also, the British Navy suffered a humiliating defeat in the Battle of the Hudson and the Port of New York. The worlds greatest navy was now in shambles. With Brittan retreating rapidly across the Atlantic, Canada was forced to surrender to America. When the British ships were nearing the British isles, weary from from U-boat attacks on their long trip across the Atlantic, they were hit by a surprise attack by the German Navy. The ships tried to retreat to North Africa, but they were cut off by American submarines. The British Navy had just surrendered their second largest fleet. Now, the German Army was already occupying all of Belgium, had just taken Paris, and was shelling Orleans, the last French stronghold. After a siege of three months, France signed an unconditional surrender to Germany. All British troops in North Africa were pulled back to defend the home land, and the British made a separate peace with the Ottoman Empire, giving them all of their Middle Eastern colonies. Soon, Brittan surrendered to the Central Powers; the Western front was won. Now that the war on the Western front was settled, Germany could concentrate their forces on the east, and with the first American troops getting off the boats and storming the beaches of Russia, it looked like an other unconditional surrender to Germany was all but certain. On June the 21 of 1917, Russia surrendered, the war was over.
