Well, I imagine the government does have to brainwash the European people to some extent to convince them foreigners' lives are worthless... people tend to have second thoughts after a few (dozen/hundred) million deaths...

Chapter XVIII: The War to End All Wars

Spoiler Table of European Presidents :

Henry Bonaparte (formerly Henry III; 1800-1815) - Independent
Jacques Sarkozy (1815-1845) - Nationalist
Charles d'Anjou (1845-1869) - Liberty
Rene de Gaulle (1869 - 1875) - Liberty
Toussaint Chirac (1875 - 1900) - Nationalist

Carlos Espinosa (1971 - 1997) - Nationalist (formally "Non Partisan")

1943, China and Mongolia signed a peace treaty, ending their dispute. It seemed the Chinese understood they might need Mongolian assistance in the near future...

The Chirac Dam was completed in 1944. It was part of Wittelbach's "New Nationalism," which advocated a far-reaching national government that would subsidise infrastructure investments to provide for economic strength. As a result, similar power plants were set up all over Europe.

1945, Heinrich von Wittelbach got the permission he needed to declare war on China.

With 8 atomic bombs within range of the Chinese cities and 4 more ready to be summoned to the front lines, the military began Operation: Dragons' Extinction.

--

The Chinese and Indian monarchs shared a meal as they discussed the latest renewal of their profitable alliance, in the suburbs of Delhi. It was a very beautiful day that February 2nd. President Heinrich von Wittelbach of Europe had just been inaugurated, and it was hoped he would be as tame as his Libertarian predecessors.

They both drank green tea, a symbol of China, and ate a fine vegetarian curry, a symbol of India. The two leaders smiled to eachother as they brought their cups up to their lips...

Neither would finish. They were incinerated with much of the rest of Delhi. But there would be no time for mourning; the Europeans had decided to finally end it all.

Chosen Targets:

Shenyang (12) - 3.3 million people; 25,000 defenders
Qingdau (17) - 6.2 million people; 20,000 defenders
Beijing (6) - 960,000 people; 105,000 defenders
Guangzhou (13) - 3.8 million people; 40,000 defenders
Hainan (8) - 1.6 million people ; 20,000 defenders
Fuzhou (14) - 4.3 million people; 20,000 defenders
Shanghai (15) - 4.8 million people; 40,000 defenders + large naval garrison
Delhi (5) - 640,000 people; 35,000 man garrison

Sensing the danger, the Dutch, Iroquois, Aztecs, Zulu, Inca, Japanese, Koreans and Americans - every other nation on Earth sans the Axumites, Germans and British - declared war on Europe.

The bomb dropped on Fuzhou, after Shanghai, prompted the Axumites to declare war. Well, if they insisted on being foes rather than friends, why not?

Agents assessed the damage after Delhi, Beijing, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Shanghai were in ruins.

The death tolls were staggering:

Delhi - 25,000 soldiers; 570,000 people
Beijing - 65,000 soldiers; 900,000 civilians
Fuzhou - 10,000 soldiers; 4 million civilians
Guangzhou - 15,000 soldiers; 3.6 million civilians
Shanghai - 35,000 soldiers; 4.2 million civilians

In less than 24 hours, 13.27 million civilians were murdered, as were 150,000 soldiers of the Sino-Indian forces. And more atomic bombs were ready to be dropped, as were forces ready to conquer the Chinese wastes.

Artillery and cavalry were ordered to mop up all Ethiopian forces, and then hit Persia. At the same time, agents abroad convinced Indian Australia and north Burma to defect to Europe.

With the extermination of Axumite troops in the Union, the death toll of Coalition forces was 200,000 soldiers and 13.3 million civilians.

Subpar artillery forced the President to authorise the use of the new Tank Army in Krakow against the Esfahan garrison, which was quite large and filled with machinegunners.

With Esfahan, the death toll rose to 230,000 soldiers and 13.54 million civilians.

That soldier death toll soon became 255,000 once more enemy soldiers were purged.

Tehran was extra defended, with 40,000 soldiers and 480,000 civilians within its walls, and so, the President authorised the useage of a bomb on it to soften it up.

Chagai fell first, however, and so, 280,000 soldiers had died, while 13.8 million civilians were caught in the crossfire of a global war. The people of Chagai dared no resist a nuclear-armed power, and so, the next move was to be made:

With Herat, the death toll climbed to 14.05 million civilians and 290,000 soldiers.

Kabul pushed the toll to 14.7 million civilians and 305,000 soldiers. Its people foolishly resisted and were put to the sword accordingly.

With Kabul's fall, Tehran was targeted.

Tehran's capture pushed the toll of 15.18 million civilians and 345,000 soldiers. Mashhad after that made it 15.5 million civilians and 355,000 soldiers. After that, Pasargadae pumped it up to 15.48 million civilians and 355,000 soldiers. With Pasargadae's fall, the Chinese had been evicted from Persia and Central Asia. Their glorious gains of the past centuries had been reversed in just a few months!

110,000 Axumite and Chinese forces roamed the Central Asian deserts, and they had to be disposed of quickly. Fortunately, there was a spare atomic bomb. 35,000 of the enemy forces were immediately slaughtered, while the survivors were softened up.

The death toll would soar to 440,000 soldiers by the time the bombardment and resulting cleanup was done.

Hainan was bombed next, and the bomb's destruction combined with occupation would cause the death toll to soar to 16.8 million civilians and 460,000 soldiers. The Chinese lost more of their fleet with Hainan.

To get the point across to China, Xi'an, with 4.4 million people, was nuked next. Its bombing raised the death toll of 20.9 million civilians and 470,000 soldiers.

Ethiopian Mombasa defected to Europe's side in 1953. Seeing the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese citizens in less than a decade was all the convincing they needed.

15,000 Ethiopian Elephant Archers were killed, as were 15,000 Chinese Col. Infantry.

The Mongols lost 30,000 troops and 300,000 people in Serov. The death toll was now 21.2 million civilians and 540,000 soldiers.

Qingdau suffered the next atomic bomb, with 15,000 soldiers and 5.8 million lives claimed. 27 million civilians dead, with 555,000 soldiers...

35,000 Coalition soldiers were killed in the next wave of attacks.

90,000 soldiers (16 units) of the Indian Empire were seen gathering in Xinjiang, near the border. A bomb was quickly deployed to wipe them out. All 5 of India's knight regiments were among the forces there. Only 35,000 men survived the nuclear strike that followed, and they were all heavily demoralised as much as wounded. Due to low manpower - most forces were recuperating from the invasion of Persia - a second bomb was dropped to kill the stragglers. Nearby Hangzhou - population 450,000; garrison 10,000 - was also hit by the second bomb. The second bomb butchered the Indians so they only had 5,000 units left in the area, while China lost 5,000 men and 300,000 citizens.

In the Indian subcontinent, deaths escalated by another 5,000 with the slaying of an Elephant Archer band.

In total, the death toll was now 27.3 million civilians dead, with 685,000 soldiers also slain. These were exclusively on the Coalition side; if one was to ask a European citizen, they probably wouldn't even know there was a war!

Wittelbach was killed by an Ethiopian suicide bomber in 1971, and he was succeeded by his Vice President, Carlos Espinosa. Espinosa, who had been vital to securing the Iberian and Italian votes for Wittelbach, was now a President in his own right. He promised to carry on the campaign his friend and predecessor had started, and indeed, would serve until 1997, when he himself died in office.

(From this point on, game dates are no longer used; one turn will now be one year in story terms)

The bombing of Shenyang - pop. 3.3 million; garrison 25,000 - afterward slaughtered 15,000 soldiers and killed 3 million people. The death toll was now 30.3 million civilians and 700,000 soldiers.

South of the Union, 10,000 Axumite soldiers were killed by Lancers, but it was just the beginning. Artillery, free from supporting offensives, were able to hammer them all relentlessly. 30,000 soldiers were butchered afterward by Colonial Infantry, who were repurposed as supporting infantry.

Next, Massawa defected, killing 15,000 Axumite troops. The death toll was now 30.3 million civilians and 755,000 troops.

In the Sudan, 60,000 Axumites were killed. The death toll was now 30.3 million civilians and 815,000 soldiers, as of the year 1972, 27 years after the war started in 1945. That is a rate of 1.15 million killed per year, not counting that most of the deaths happened within a few days due to mass nuclear strikes.

The European nuclear production capability had surged by 1972, with 6 bombs, rather than 3 or 4, produced per year.

Tea is drunk in cups. Your policies remind me of Cromwell…

 

[Tani Coyote]

I don't think Cromwell had nuclear weapons. You probably mean Uncle Joe.

I also suspect the British - well technically Scottish-Irish - leadership is channeling you. For some reason they dare not declare war. Perhaps they know that it's easy for a bomb in Denmark to detonate and kill most of Scotland's population?

Why do you want to destroy Scotland and Ireland? Haven't you had enough blood to quench your thirst?

Well, the Romans didn't mop up the Scots and thus paid for it down the line, didn't they?

Turn 177 (1973)

5,000 Crusaders were killed, while 1 Battleship was sunk, becoming the first European casualties. Of course, the Chinese lost a Destroyer and the Axumites 5,000 Elephant Archers, so it balanced out.

A band of Crusaders killed off a Chinese Armored Car group, adding 5,000 to the soldier death toll. 5,000 Axumite troops were killed right after.

Seeing a doomstack of 12 units in the Americas, the President authorised a nuclear drop against them, levelling the mountain they were on and killing 35,000 soldiers. It was then decided that one bomb should be dropped against the Americans every year to force them to capitulate.

In the Sudan, a new wave of assaults began. 70,000 Axumite soldiers were purged at no losses.

25,000 more Axumites were butchered in the Battle of Suakin. 150,000 Axumite civilians were also killed. The Coalition death toll was now 30.5 million civilians and 955,000 soldiers. The European death toll was a humble 10,000 soldiers.

A second bomb was dropped on Delhi, escalating the death toll to 31 million civilians and 965,000 soldiers.

The Battle of Multan killed 15,000 Indian soldiers and 650,000 Indian civilians. Thus, the death toll was now 31.65 Coalition civilians and 985,000 Coalition soldiers.

The Coalition death toll reached 1 million soldiers once 3 Chinese units near the border were obliterated.

Allahabad surged it to 1.01 million soldiers and 31.78 million civilians. The Indian people's peaceful faith kept many of them from resisting.

Nagpur killed yet more people, with 1.02 million soldiers and 31.25 million civilians now the count.

Dacca, a city of 1.5 million, was targetted by the atomic bomb. Its 20,000 defenders, now weakened, would be excellent targets. With the city's conquest, the greatest Indian city besides Delhi was in ruins - and European hands - and thus, the death toll had risen to 32.75 million civilians and 1.04 million soldiers.

Northern India was conquered, and its people didn't even resist proper European rule. With northern India conquered, it was possible to go all the way from Indochina to Europe without interruption. It would now be possible to build atomic bombs and send them far to the east in a single year, thus enabling rapid destruction of the Chinese.

Guangzhou was nuked a second time, killing 800,000 people and 10,000 soldiers. The death toll was now 40.75 million civilians and 1.08 million soldiers. That became 1.085 million soldiers after an Army screened Chinese MGs in Vietnam.

With bombs to spare, China was assaulted in Wuhan, where 2.2 million people lived and 15,000 soldiers protected them. 1.6 million were killed, as were 10,000 soldiers. The death toll of the Great War had risen to 42.35 million civilians and 1.09 million soldiers. Shortly after, a bomb was dropped on Axumite Omdurman, killing 35,000 soldiers and 1.2 million civilians.

Next, Axum itself was marked for destruction, and a bomb was dropped on the city of 1.2 million, where 60,000 soldiers made their home.

With Axum's fall, Coalition losses totalled 44.75 million civilians and 1.19 million soldiers.

In November, the railway to Vietnam was completed, thus allowing huge stored reserves of raw materials to finally reach the homeland.

Guangzhou was seized, and the Coalition death toll became 45.18 million civilians and 1.2 million soldiers. Even if it was captured, that would just kill more people and allow it to be very small upon the next conquest.

Turn 178 (1974)

Determined to make a decisive victory before the war's 30th anniversary, the President watched as China and America signed a mutual protection pact; China knew the Americas were its only hope of repelling the Blue Tide.

The Chinese retook Guangzhou, killing 10,000 cavalry. The European death toll was now 15,000 soldiers, but the Coalition's was 45.2 million civilians and 1.225 million soldiers.

That became 1.22 million soldiers was Guangzhou was retaken.

As retribution for the lost 10,000 soldiers, Europe dropped a nuclear bomb on Chongqing. China may have had 7 nifty "Mech Infantry" units now in force, but they paled in comparison to the awesome power of the bomb, which killed 20,000 soldiers and 1.8 million people, raising Coalition deaths to 47 million civilians and 1.245 million soldiers.

Chongqing opened the gates of China, with Wuhan and Fuzhou both within striking distance, and plenty of spare bombs to destroy whatever China had to protect them!

Kunming's fall sealed off a Chinese route into the occupied zones, and despite it not being nuked, 910,000 civilians and 10,000 soldiers were massacred, making the toll 47.9 million civilians and 1.255 million soldiers.

Nicaragua's fall via propaganda pushed the toll of 1.26 million soldiers.

A bomb dropped on Fuzhou killed 10,000 Chinese soldiers and 1.2 million civilians; the death toll now soared to 49.1 million civilians and 1.265 million soldiers.

With 4 atomic bombs still ready for use, the President dropped one on Wuhan and one on Shanghai.

The Shanghai bomb killed 1.5 million people and 5,000 soldiers, while also sinking much of the Chinese fleet. More precisely, the bomb killed 1 million people, but the ensuing occupation and artillery barrage killed the many Chinese who had left their bomb shelters; bomb shelters had been designed by the Chinese government in light of the new atomic threat to try and preserve China's population, so later bombs weren't as lethal as the earlier weapons.

With Shanghai, the Great Wall of China became the Great Wall of Europe!

The Wuhan bomb and ensuing occupation killed 10,000 soldiers and 660,000 civilians.

With the fall of Shanghai and Wuhan, China's core was increasingly being encroached upon, and the Coalition had lost 51.726 million civilians and 1.28 million soldiers.


Link to video.

With China quite clearly on the retreat, the Bermuda airfield launched a nuclear bomber on a trip to Washington.

The Americans gazed in awe at the legendary metallic dragons they had heard so much about, but their awe stopped shortly after Washington lost 15,000 soldiers and 800,000, people to the bomb. 300,000 were killed right afterward by battleship fire, and 100,000 after that by Colonial Infantry ruthlessly occupying the city. Parading down Pennsylvania Avenue, it was readily apparent - the Americas were now fair game.

With the government vaporised, the American government found leadership in the Governor of Michigan, who took control of the country from Detroit as Lord Protector. The American Confederation would continue the war under his leadership. He also decreed that at least one member of the American Executive Branch had to be elsewhere at all times, to guarantee succession.

Immediately after America got the asswhooping of its life, Pamplona became the newest center for nuclear production; the Union now produced 8 nukes per year!

A nuke was dropped on Qingdau, killing 1.7 of the city's 2.2 million people and all of its 10,000 soldiers. Six Chinese worker bands were also killed in the outskirts. With the death toll now at 54.7 million civilians and 1.305 million soldiers, China had suffered yet another devestating blow.

The last bomb was dropped on Lanzhou, killing 100,000 people and 10,000 soldiers.

The massive death toll was now 54.8 million civilians and 1.305 million soldiers. The year's nuclear weapons had already been used up, and the effects were devestating. The destruction of tiny Lanzhou was pursued simply because it contained a source of Chinese oil, needed to fuel the mechanised infantry. No oil meant these awesome defensive units could no longer protect China.

The cities of Djibouti and Adulis joined the Union after a bit of gold went their way. They threw out 20,000 soldiers of the Ethiopian Empire, pushing the death toll to 1.325 million for the Coalition armies. Which became 1.34 right after 15,000 troops outside Axum were slaughtered.

And 1.355 million after some routine purges.

To secure the African frontier, neutral Turkey was invaded, and finally, the Ottoman regime collapsed. The death toll was now at 1.375 million soldiers and 54.9 million civilians.

The soldier death toll surged to 1.39 million soldiers after Gondar defected, wiping out 1/4 of the Ethiopian Army.

Turn 179 (1975)

Coalition deaths soon reached 1.4 million soldiers, but European deaths ramped up since somehow, Cruisers and Destroyers managed to sink Battleships - European deaths were now a total of 25,000 soldiers.

However, revenge was soon had! The Coalition death toll rose to 1.42 million as Ethiopian and Chinese soldiers alike were butchered. The city of Mogadishu was taken from the Axumites, making the civilian toll 55 million.

The fall of Kelem pushed the death toll to 1.45 million soldiers. With Ethiopia destroyed, the traitors had finally gotten their just desserts.

Xi'an was another victim of a bombing, with 800,000 people being killed by the nuclear explosion. The resulting battles made sure that a grand total of 40,000 troops and 160,000 more civilians were killed. Xi'an's fall had ensured the death toll rose to 1,490,000 soldiers, with 55.96 million civilians having been killed.

Qingdau's people didn't resist, even as the death toll rose to 1,505,000 soldiers and 56.3 million civilians.

Chengdu, a city of 1.2 million and home to 3 of China's 7 Mech Infantry divisions, was targeted next. Tibet's cities seemed to have picked up the slack and were China's last centers of industry. Mercy from the nuclear war was about to come to an end.

The bombs on Lhasa and Chengdu killed 1.2 million civilians and 35,000 soldiers. Artillery killed 500,000 more civilians in Chengdu, which was captured by propaganda shortly afterward.

With Chengdu's capture, forces moved to secure Beijing itself. 25,000 soldiers guarded the border, but were cut down with no units lost thanks to a Tank Army.

75,000 soldiers guarded Beijing proper... but fortunately, they were all in range of the bomb. 8 worker bands were vaporised in the city's proximity, weakening China's ability to recover. 50,000 troops were killed by the bomb, as were 280,000 civilians. 50,000 more were killed by the occupation...

With Beijing's fall, the Coalition death toll peaked at 58.33 million civilians and 1,640,000 soldiers. The Chinese people, tired of a long, lethal war they could not win, did not resist as Europeans marched into the ancient capital of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Emperor and his government had already fled to Shenyang, where a group of nobles executed him for incompetence and ushered in an era of formalised oligarchy, where the nobles controlled the country entirely, without a feudal overlord.

Lanzhou fell shortly after to propaganda, with 50,000 civilians and 10,000 soldiers killed, raising the death to to 58.38 million civilians and 1,650,000 soldiers(that's 330 units!).

Tiny Hangzhou, in Xinjiang, was targeted next. 9 groups of Colonial Infantry - 45,000 soldiers - were killed in the desert wastes. Hangzhou itself lost 10,000 soldiers, while 50,000 civilians were killed.

Hangzhou surged the Coalition death toll to 1,705,000 soldiers and 58.43 million civilians, but more importantly, cut Lhasa off from the rest of the country. It soon became 1,730,000 soldiers dead after Chinese forces were purged from the country. Then 1,750,000 soldiers after Karakorum switched sides. China now had 32 units to stretch across 10 cities.

Chinese Zibo soon overthrew their oppressors as well, killing 5,000 units and making the Coalition death toll a grand 1,755,000 soldiers. That became 1,775,000 when an atomic bomb was dropped on a stack of Aztecs in the Americas.

Tiny but strategic Jilin contained 200,000 civilians and 25,000 soldiers. It had China's sole source of oil, and if it went, so would the Chinese industrial base.

120,000 civilians and 20,000 soldiers were killed. It was soon flipped, the Chinese people, on the brink of extinction, now welcoming European overlordship.

20,000 troops in Bombay were killed, as were 470,000 civilians, as part of Operation: Elephant Extinction's resuming. After that, Vishakhapatnam, with 440,000 civilians and 30,000 troops, was occupied.

The death toll, with China and India being walloped, had now risen to 1,845,000 soldiers and 59.46 million civilians. That soon became 1,855,000 soldiers and 59.73 million civilians once Calicut, the last free Indian city on the subcontient, was nuked.

By the end of 1975, 30 years after the Great War started, the European Union occupied 42% of the world's land and 70% of its population. Its closest rivals for land were Mongolia at 2% and Eire-Scotland at 4%!

Making matters better, Eire-Scotland was widely acknowledged as a vassal state, with how it paid 15 gold per term to the Union, albeit for access rights.

Turn 180 (1976)

Once again, a Chinese Destroyer finished off a Battleship Total European deaths: 25,000 soldiers and 4 Battleships!

However, the Coalition lost 15,000 units on the offensive, raising their soldier deaths to 1.86 million.

Lombardia became the epicenter of the Incense trade, which Europe now dominated.

Lhasa was marked for destruction by atomic bomb, so as to seal off a front.

Two bombs were dropped on it, so as to kill 10,000 troops and 130,000 people.

Nanjing, in Xinjiang, was ordered to be destroyed by ordinary artillery. Its fall killed another 130,000 civilians and 10,000 soldiers.

Now, the Coalition death toll had surged to 60 million civilians and 1,880,000 soldiers. That rose to 1,895,000 soldiers once Chifeng defected.

While Shenyang was in clear striking distance, the ruins around it made the President decline the prospect of attacking it. So long as the capital was in Shenyang, it'd be a lot easier to scoop up levelled cities in the Americas and Philippines.

30,000 Coalition soldiers were butchered when a nuclear bomb was dropped on Nakhon Si Thammarat; this was part of the Union's goal to end the Dutch presence on the Malay Peninsula.

Stealing the Chinese military plans, 1 Destroyer and 1 Cruiser group were destroyed.

A bomb was dropped on Taiyuan, the last Chinese bastion in the Americas. 10,000 troops and 3 ships were sunk, leaving the city defenseless. 120,000 civilians were killed.

Atomic bombs were dropped on the entire Philippines, where three main cities - each of 500,000 people - were the targets. The bombs, together, killed 1 million civilians and 20,000 of the 30,000 soldiers stationed there. The Chinese fleets were also destroyed.

The cities all defected, ripping the Philippines from the Chinese, even if it was quite expensive due to propaganda. Nonetheless, Coalition losses now totalled 61.12 million civilians and 1,950,000 soldiers.

25,000 soldiers and 430,000 civilians were slaughtered in Shenyang. The North Koreans rejoiced at the destruction of China, as finally, the European military could link up with Korea.

Vodka flowed in Russia, wine in France, Italy, Greece and Iberia, beer in Germany and central Europe, and tea in the British Isles, as word reached the entirety of the world that China had been destroyed. At last, the great rival was no more. The trial of the Chinese High Council was televised, and the execution of Premier Wu Ming, the first and last Premier of the Chinese Noble Republic.

---

With China's demise, the Union was deemed unstoppable. Organised genocide against the Chinese was stopped provided they promised to work for the Union and not the restoration of China. Restorationists were executed without trial.

The President then spoke on global television to the 25% of the world that he did not "serve" as President. He stated that he and his cabinet were ready to grant amnesty to all peoples that had fought in the war, provided they acknowledged the Union as their superior and gave aid accordingly.

The United Kingdom of Eire, Scotland and Australia submitted quickly, upping their tribute from 15 per term to 47 per term. Shaking hands with the President, King James X was told he could expect peace with the rest of Europe, and indeed, most of the world.

The Mongols saw the destruction of 10,000 men in the Urals, while 5,000 more were killed in Manchuria. Even though the death toll had reached 61.12 million civilians and 1,965,000 soldiers on the Coalition side, some parties still refused to meet with the President. But with 9 atomic bombs produced per year, how long could they possibly hold out...?

Chapter XXII: Epilogue

While the Chinese Dragon had finally been killed despite its constant, hydra-like resurgences, the nations of the world still dared to fight on against European domination.

The UK accepted vassalage to Europe, but other nations were more hesitant. Britain paid a ton for a one-sided right of passage, and that took them off the hit list.

Germany, the long-time foe of the French - and European - Empires, refused to pay a dime for a ROP. Accordingly, 660,000 German civilians were murdered, as were 65,000 soldiers.

India, meanwhile, suffered the fall of Rangoon to European forces. 150,000 civilians and 10,000 soldiers were killed in the city. Even so, they refused to surrender. 1.6 million dead civilians and 45,000 slain troops later, India was gone.

63.38 million civilians and 2.075 million soldiers had been killed by the year 1977! The demise of India and Germany was a solid victory, and Korea's fall right afterward made the death toll 2.175 million soldiers and 64.08 million civilians. With that, only Mongolia and Zululand stood as threats on the continent of Eurasia-Africa, and nukes would make quick work of them.

Mongolia's fall killed 490,000 soldiers and 3.6 million civilians. Asia was European in its entirety.

The Japanese capitulated after the nuclear weapons dropped on Tokyo and Kyoto killed 4 million civilians and 90,000 soldiers. While a militaristic people, they were also very wise, and knew it was best to kiss the President's feet.

The Dutch lost only 10,000 men before seeing where the wind was blowing, acknowledging their European overlords.

With that, the focus turned to the Zulu, the last free people of the Old World. The Coalition death toll was now a staggering 71.7 million civilians and 2.77 million soldiers, and the bodies just continued to pile up as the Union relentlessly nuked city after city. The Zulu were defeated after 600,000 soldiers and 5.5 million civilians lost their lives, pushing the toll to 77.2 million civilians and 3.37 million soldiers...

With the Old World occupied, the Iroquois, the most peaceful American nation, surrendered and begged to be spared from the bomb. The President granted their request, and the Iroquois became the vassal state of Canada.

Now that the Canadians had become European satellites, only three nations remained free: The Americans, the Mexicans, and the Incans.

3.8 million Americans lost their lives. 860,000 US soldiers suffered the same fate. The fall of the United States made the death toll 81 million civilians and 4.77 million soldiers. The militaristic Americans, Mongolians, and Zulu had only pushed the death toll that much higher...

The Incan Emperor was executed by revolutionaries, who sued for peace. The Incans became the enforcers in South America, and as a result, they flourished, dominating the entirety of the continent under European suzerainty.

445,000 Aztec soldiers and 5.6 Mexican civilians were slaughtered by the end of the year 1979.

At last, the long, horrid war had ended. It had lasted 34 years and killed 87 million civilians and 5.22 million soldiers, but it had paved European hegemony. Europe now ruled the world in a forced harmony with Canada, the Inca, the British, Japanese, and the Indonesians. And maybe one day, the nation-states would put aside their differences, and form a union that was not European, but one that was human...

I had fun butchering the world, and it was ultimately satisfying to destroy China.
