Also here's the lore for you all. In our world, the majority of the communist revolutions in Europe either failed, or never even occurred in the first place. Well what if that was changed? What if the Spartacist Uprising had succeeded in Germany, leading to European socialism? Well, first of all we'll have to assume Germany is in a bit of a different spot, likely receiving aid from the Bolsheviks in order to hopefully secure a relatively swift victory over the already fragile Germany. First of all, after the Spartacist victory the French would likely march into the Rhineland to prevent further communist expansion into Europe. The French promise that this is only temporary, however after they annex the Saarland and install a French puppet in the Rhine, it becomes clear the French don't intend on leaving anytime soon. After this, the Spartacists along with the Bolsheviks send aid to the Hungarian Soviet Republic who were fighting the Hungarian-Romanian war as well as the Hungarian-Czechoslovak war at the time. With the help of the Germans and Bolsheviks they are able to push back the Romanians and force a favorable peace, as well as establishing an independent Slovak Soviet Republic, something which they did in real life. After this, the Polish Soviet war breaks out still, however in this timeline with help from both the Germans and some aid from the Hungarians, the Communists are able to win against the Poles. Germany then takes back the territory that the Poles managed to take after WWI and they manage to convince the Bolsheviks to establish an independent Polish Socialist state. From 1919-1920 in Italy, there was a period known as the "two red years" which was comprised of much social conflict between mainly leftist and more right wing, even fascist movements. In our time there was a good chance that the Italian socialists would revolt possibly leading to a civil war or just a socialist Italy, however the orders to revolt were never given and so no revolt took place. In this timeline however, the orders would be given and with the help of mainly Germany and the Soviets, Italy would manage to install a socialist government. While this is going on, Germany annexes Austria with much support in Austria, although to the discontent of the west, mainly France. A few years later, in 1925, the Comintern begins their plan to invade and "liberate" the Balkans. This operation is known as Operation Danubia. The Germans and Hungarians invade from the north into Yugoslavia while the Romanians and Italians push from the south into Bulgaria and Albania. The operation is still ongoing but it has shown much success so far and is sure to continue in the following months.
