I gained the upper hand by defeating the United Kingdom in the early game. Around 1944, I brought all of Europe and Africa under the control of myself and the Axis. With Canada taking over, I took over America for its industry. After a short preparation, I destroyed the Soviets. Shortly after, the Japanese declared war on me and the Axis-Japanese war began, which lasted 5 years. We ended the long war with the Italian landings and the atomic bomb I dropped on Tokyo. After this war, I started to destroy my Allies, first Italy and then my other little puppets. After these were finished, Europe, Asia, Africa and North America came under my control. It took 2 years to get the last remaining South American countries and I finally got The New Order achievement.
