| - August 10th, 1942, Onward: The Golden Age of the Third Reich begins with the surrender of England, which is celebrated throughout the Reich and its puppet states as Victory over England Day, or VE Day. Construction of new infrastructure and such begins throughout Axis Europe and Africa. The Final Solution is also halted, and Germany begins deporting undesirables to its colonies, except for several scientists which are held in Germany to work on the Uranprojekt (nuclear program). Remainder of August: A massive rally is held in Berlin to show the might of Nazi Germany, and it goes as planned. September: Third Reich Oil is founded by Karl Dönitz, who begins to take control of the oil fields in the Middle East for the Reich with Hitler's approval. October: Construction on London begins to rebuild the city with the United States funding a large portion of it. November-December: Little of importance happens. 1943: The United States, in order to protect itself from the Axis Alliance, signs a secret alliance with the British in Washington DC forming the Anglo-American Alliance. It is almost decided to invite the Russians to join, but is later decided against due to their non-aggression pact with the Axis. Instead the Americans begin looking into Latin America as a new source of allies. The Third Reich begins redistricting its lands to form new provinces that can be better managed, and several areas of the Reich and Italy are annexed and made into semi autonomous areas within there empires. Italy immediately decides to launch an invasion of Greece in cooperation with the Turks, which allows them to advance quite quickly into the Greek homeland and force them to capitulate. Germany sends some ground forces, but otherwise is too focused in rebuilding to care. It will be known as the Mediterranean War. It will take roughly two years for the Axis to crush the Greeks fully, including some limited guerrilla activity. 1944: The USA signs a treaty admitting Portugal into the Anglo-American Alliance, which begs the question, what should the organization be called? The three nations agree to meet in Washington DC, and it is agreed to create the Anti-Reich Pact, or as it is more commonly called by the Americans and British, the Anti-Axis. The Italians and Turkish finally crush the Greeks at the Battle of Athens with the help of German forces. Greece is divided between the two nations, and Greece is stripped of its sovereignty. German, Italian and Turkish scientists join together to work on the Uranprojekt, and it is expected to produce results by 1946 at the latest. 1945: Albert Einstein is killed when he is hit by a car in New York City. He was on his way to meet several US Army commanders who were interested in his theory on nuclear fission being turned into a weapon. With his death the idea of a nuclear bomb will slowly die away. The Axis continues working on Uranprojekt, and some fruits are achieved, making the Führer and other Axis leaders more money into the project. The Soviet Union begins massive military buildup and research into new tanks, with the T-34 being completed and beginning production. Soviet diplomats begin making overtures to the Americans in hope of reconciling differences and making an alliance. As of now however it makes no promise of progress between the two nations. 1946: The United States signs a mutual non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, this is far from a true alliance, but it is a great progress from just a few years ago. The Americans begin looking into new tank designs. The Axis successfully tests its first nuclear bomb in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan. Seeing the destruction it creates, Hitler orders massive military buildup, and he also orders it be kept secret from the Americans, British and USSR. The Japanese finish forcing the Chinese into subjugation in all but the far western areas of China, which after a treaty is signed with Mao, becomes the Peoples Republic of China, albeit with some heavy Japanese influence, it is not a puppet state of the Axis powers. 1947: The Anti-Axis Pact, seeing the fall of China, begins planning on war with the Axis in order to liberate the peoples of occupied Europe, Africa, and Asia. AAP diplomats begin arriving in South American nations trying to win over allies, but many don't want to fight the Axis seeing there great strength, and only Brazil agrees to join the AAP, which will have interesting outputs in the future. The Axis continues researching into even more powerful weaponry. Germany is completely reorganized, with Occupied France being directly annexed into the Reich as well as several other occupied regions. The minor puppet states are allowed to keep independence, including Vichy France and Rumania. Here is a map of the pre and post divide Third Reich: File:Post German Redustricting.png With the Reich redistricted into five major zones, Occupied France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Bohemia are officially incorporated into the Reich, with the five regions being: the Atlantik (France), Tiefländer (Lowlands), Nordisch (Nordic), Vaterland (Fatherland), and Tscheche (Czech/Bohemia).
