This is the demo for Disaster: Death of Peace.
Disaster explores a world in which the negotiations of Versailles broke down, causing the existing postwar chaos in Europe to spiral out of control.
The USA was plunged into instability by Wilson’s failure and largely collapsed in 1928, while in France the military under Foch seized power. In Italy, Gabriele d’Annunzio overthrew the monarchy, with the royalists fleeing to Sardinia. The chaotic republic in Germany gave way to right-wing authoritarians and revolutionary socialists who carved out their own fiefdoms amidst the chaos, while the Prussian junkers established an aristocratic republic in what land they could hold on to.
With no side able to gain a clear upper hand in the Russian civil war, fighting died down and regional forces entered into a stalemate. The United Kingdom, having lost it's good relations with France and bankrupted by the collapse of America, fell into decline, with territorial losses in Ireland, India and South Africa over the 1920s.
Now, as the world enters 1936, the British are re-arming in the hope of regaining their prestige, France is gradually democratizing under Foch’s successor Maxine Weygand, and nationalists and communists alike now aspire to reunite Germany, in the face of opposition from regionalists in Bavaria and their backers in Austria, now a deeply Catholic corporatist dictatorship under Engelbert Dollfuss.
In America and Russia many leaders are making their moves to reunite their broken nations. In the post-collapse reality of Turkey, countless nationalists and republicans hope to overthrow the weak British-backed regime in Anatolia and the rump Sultanate in Istanbul, all to restore their nation to the glory it once knew.
Who knows what the future has in store?
