~Sir Winston Churchill
Hearts of Iron II American AAR - Written by the Victors II
Prologue One
The world was in flames.
Nothing could have prepared America for this. The Great War may have been a baptism of fire for the United States, but it could not have prepared anyone for the events of 1937 to 1945. Japan was in control of Asia, Germany of Europe. All that was left was the United States.
Roosevelt had done what he could. He sent the supplies, he battled Germany's economy and saw America’s fleets dominate the waves. All the while, Europe tore itself apart as the great nations of old - Poland, France, Russia…Britain fell under Germany’s heel. There was nothing he could do. America was isolationist - the populace would never stand for a foreign war unless it came to America herself.
In 1941 it did.
Japanese planes, striking from a long-range carrier force, struck the naval base of Pearl Harbor. As Roosevelt said, it was a day of infamy. Suddenly the infant nation of America had to push itself into world politics at a time the rest of the world was falling apart.
By 1946 Japan’s navy was destroyed. Many battles had seen most of the enemy fleet sunk to the bottom of the Pacific. But the Japanese army held firm, and US forces had failed to see any serious gains. It had seen Roosevelt’s popularity plummet, and a government close to collapse. And as the nation struggled, the old alliance with Britain began to fall apart. There was nothing Roosevelt could do to help the Allies, and he was forced to watch as the homeland of the British Empire fell under German invasion in 1945, forcing a final surrender and an end to the war in Europe. Peace at last…but at what cost.
Roosevelt died later that year. His successor, President Sharuminar, was not so willing to allow mere politics to halt a defence of the old world. Yet he needed some precedent, some legal route to allow the United States to come to Europe’s rescue. It would not be long before the answer came…
I simply could not let the old AAR lie. But I could hardly let it remain as a ‘world conquest game’…I hate them. There is only one answer then - to take on the empire the Council created in Written by the Victors. In that AAR we were conquering the world…this time we’re saving it.
As ever, the Council of Doom is returned to all who wish to join. Be aware this will be an uphill struggle. As the US we have the strength and might to take on everyone - but this is Europe in it’s entirety! Under the empire we created ourselves! I have no idea how this will work out, we could be nuked out of existence in the first year. But we have one goal - to see through Churchill’s ideal, and to liberate the Old World from the clutches of Germany!
The arsenal of Democracy…
