BOLIVIA LIBERATED. Sucre, Bolivia. Nipponese occupation authorities in Bolivia and southern Peru have announced the liberation of a combined South American Bolivian nation.

The new government has vowed to renew the cause of South American unity and the emergence of stability and peace on the continent.

NORWAY FREED. Stockholm, Scandinavia. After years of internal conflict, the Scandinavian Parliament voted to allow full Norwegian independence. King Alexander I of Norway has been crowned in Oslo, creating the first independent Norwegian monarchy in over a hundred years. American and Scandinavian forces have withdrawn from Norway as the nation begins to rebuild itself. The rest of Scandinavia has begun a major new development program at home, completing the great bridge between Denmark and Sweden, a major milestone in European history. Massive amounts of money have been poured into development of Finland and the rest of the country as the nation struggles to rebuild itself not only from the Norwegian revolt, but the longstanding effects of the Third World War.
BULGARIANS LAUNCH OFFENSIVE IN THRACE. Sofia, Bulgaria. Bulgarian forces launched a major assault against Greek installations throughout Thrace, uncovering a major subterranean network established by the rebels. The Greeks won a series of victories against the attackers, though Bulgarian air superiority has forced the Greek troop to scatter. Overall, the Greeks managed to inflict heavy casualties, though they were dispersed across the countryside, some even believed to have withdrawn into Serbian Greece. The Serbs have warned the Bulgarian government to keep their Greeks in order or face war.
Casualty List
Bulgaria: 3 Infantry Divisions
Friends of Greece: 1 Paramilitary Division
FASCISTS WIN ELECTION IN CATALONIA. Barcelona, Catalonia. After a heated election, the Catalonian Fascist Party has won. The Fascists have pledged to reunify all the Catalonian people under a single nationalist government. Several inciting speeches have been made, calling for Catalonians in Euskadi, France, and Castile to rise against those who oppress them. Catalonias neighbors have demanded a halt to incendiary speeches and rabble rousing as tensions rise.
CONFLICT GROWS IN EASTERN EUROPE. Kiev, Ukraine. Soviet forces renewed their offensive into Ukraine with the arrival of spring, 1951. However, with a declaration of war from Poland and a variety of Entente states, the Soviets have met far harsher resistance than expected. Almost half a million soldiers from a variety of European nations have arrived to assist the Ukrainians in their fight against the Soviets. Forces of the European League have even managed to launch a successful offensive into Byelorussia under the leadership of the Poles. Local Soviet forces were overwhelmed by the EL invasion and have been forced out of the region. Minsk has fallen to Polish and Italian advances, threatening even Moscow with attack. In the air, the arrival of European squadrons and Islamic volunteers has turned the tide in favor of the Allies. Faced with overwhelming numbers, Bear airfields were devastated by Allied high-altitude strikes, and the Soviet air commander was forced to withdraw beyond the Urals. Allied advanced in Ukraine proper have managed to force a stalemate against approximately matched Soviet forces, inciting the largest armored battle in history at the Ukrainian city of Kursk. Despite the heavy support from many European nations, several have refused to provide aid to Ukraine. Notable nations such as France, Germany, Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria have all refused to provide support. Events may vindicate these nations as major anti-war protests threaten to destabilize several countries. Hungary, Belgium, Austria, and Portugal have all been hit with major anti-war rallies, some even breaking into violence. In Poland the situation has grown dire as massive riots caused parts of Warsaw and Lodz to break into flame after total military mobilization was announced. It took nearly a month for Polish police forces to restore order.

USSR: 14 Infantry Divisions, 7 Armored Divisions, 5 Jet Fighter Squadrons, 5 Bomber Squadrons

REVOLT IN ALGERIA. Algiers, Italian Empire. Agitation in Algeria broke out into open revolt at the end of 1951, as Italian regulars withdrew to fight in Russia. The local militia and Fascist Party enforcers were overwhelmed by the nationalists. The protestors have demanded immediate independence and self-government. Rumors of arms stockpiles and armories being raided to arm an Algerian Nationalist Army have yet to be confirmed. (-1 Militia Division for Italy)
SOCIALISTS ELECTED IN TURKEY. Ankara, Turkey. Despite seemingly assured victory for the Sons of Ataturk for the 1951 elections, the Turkish people voted in a landslide to admit the Socialist Party into office. Running on a platform of squelching fundamentalism and influence of Islam on government, the Socialists are believed to have financed their campaign with Soviet support. The Socialists have openly supported the Soviet Union in the increasing conflict in Ukraine, denouncing European League and Entente actions against the Soviets. Turkish officials have closed Turkish territorial waters and airspace to all belligerents in the area, cutting shipping to the Black Sea.
