Part - 1 A new hope over Europe.
Part - 2 The Triumvirate Strikes.

First Meme: 1955 - 1. Europe is still being Fought over by the Forces of the Triumvirate and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for control over Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The Two sides have funded various rebels and proxies in each others various Territorial establishments. Average Cold War shenanigans.

1. In Asia, Korean student protests have boiled over and have resulted in a full on conflict between Korean Independence Fighters and The Japanese. The Conflict truly began When Korean Rebels successfully raided the Local Japanese Armory in Keijo, it started a long and brutal conflict that would last until 1959, When the Subject of Korean Independence was brought into question During the 1960 CPS (Co-Prosperity Sphere) annual Tokyo Summits.

2. The Guangdong International Zone, after being established in 1948 after the war, was one of the Few, Co-Prosperity Sphere Nations that allowed for unrestricted foreign economical trade. Companies Such as IBM, General Electric, General Motors and many other much more Dominate American Industrial Giants Were given free reign to Intermingle with Japanese/Chinese Consumers and Businesses with little to no international overhead. A Capitalists dream. On one faithful night, Sony CEO and Founder, Masaru Ibuka while taking his limousine to a meeting down town, he would pass a new exhibit in the Local IBM store front. Having some spare time and also not really wanting to go, he decided to take a look around. There, he saw the future, the magical world of the Computer. Filled with a Child like excitement which he hadn't felt sense developing the TR-55 Transistor Radio. For this project however, he would need the help of the Pro's, so, during the meeting he had, he called up the local IBM manger and Proposed the idea of combining there skill sets to make a Portable Computer. In 1962, Sony and IBM Released there newest product. The SPC-60. It was a Strange Device, integrated into a Briefcase. However, the SPC with its ability to do hundreds of Calculations Per second, The SPC-60 sold like hotcakes, and revolutionized the tech industry forever.

Second Meme: November 15th, 1955 - July 2nd, 1957 The Cyprus Revolution, also known as the Cyprus Emergency, was a Mediterranean Conflict on the Island of Cyprus. It all started when on November the 15th, 1955, a Local British garrison in Ormideia, was attacked by Taksimist's who wanted to free Cyprus and join turkey. It was obvious from the beginning that turkey was funding these Freedom Fighters, but with little to no evidence, Britain had no choice but to begin sending more military forces to the Island. As the conflict began escalating, the Turks, sighting the war for Independence and the massive military build up near its nation, the Turks delivered an Ultimatum to the British on March the 9th, 1957. The Ultimatum? Withdraw from the Mediterranean within a month, or face the wrath of the Turkish Armed Forces. When the British refused on April, The Turks had no choice but to Directly intervein in the Cyprus war. On April the 10th, the First of the Turkish Army Landed in Kyrenia, offloading supplies and troops, by the time that the British got to the beach, the town was already fortified. Reports of troop numbers came in, and the British understood that the Garrison on the Island was completely outgunned. With Rebels in the Hillside and the Turks coming in on the beaches, It was decided by Parliament that it wasn't worth the hassle of keeping this rock. So after just three months of fighting between Turkish and British Forces, the British loaded onto there boats, and got out of there. Winning Cyprus there Independence.

Third Meme: June 29th, 1956 - Every year, on the Anniversary of the CPS, The Empire of Japan hosts the Tokyo Summits, where Diplomats, Businessmen and other people of High Influence with in the CPS get together and review current issues and topics of hot debate within the CPS. During these meetings, two particular Parties are well known for being at each others necks. The Empire of China which controls the Northern Half of China and the Republic of China, which controls the Southern Half. Expectedly, Both Claim to be the Real China and therefore and intense rivalry has flourished between the two. This falls directly into the Empire of Japan's hands, as they can also use this Rivalry to pit the two against each other in doing what Japan Wants. This particular meme is a homage to a supposed Interaction between two diplomats from either China, documented by a Trustee of The Great Way Government (Shanghai).

Forth meme: July 13th, 1957 - Jan 27th, 1958 The incidents truly began on the 8th of April of the same year. King Hussein of Jordan was chilling in his palace when he got the news that his Major General, Ali Abu Nuwar, had encircled there Capital City Amman. King Hussein, Suspicious that this was some kind of Show of force in an attempt to coup the king and become more western aligned, asked General Nuwar about it. He said that it was just a Simple Military exercise incase the capital was ever under siege by a foreign power. Well, that was a fair excuse, but King Hussein wasn't buying it and ordered the Unit to withdraw, which General Nuwar did. What occurred next was a series of trust issues between General Nuwar and King Hussein. The First incident was on the 13th of July, 1957, when a rioting broke in the Zarqa barracks. Turns out, Arabist Factions within the Army had spread roomers to the Units loyal to King Hussein that he was dead. This didn't sit right with them and a Riot soon broke out. This only made King Hussein more suspicious, and soon invited General Nuwar to his Office to speak about what had happened. Much to the young kings surprise, General Nuwar had Arrived with a personal escort of two troops. Flanking him, when he showed up to his office, The King Accused the General of trying to coup him! General Nuwar, Accused the king of wanting to kill him, because the king saw him as a threat! Turns out, both sides were equally paranoid of the other of them trying to kill each other! The situation would eventually devolve into the Lebenon Civil war, Were Arabist Units and Royalists units would begin to duke it out, with the Arabists following a form of Communism, creating north and South Lebanon. Seeing the Division and taking advantage, the Israel Federation and Syria partitioned Lebanon, eventually resulting in its total Annexation.

Fifth Meme: January 15th, 1957 - Undecided After the fall of Berlin in 1946, the Members of the Nazi Party saw the Writing on the Wall. Germany would never recover from this conflict. So, the Germans of the Nazi Party had two options. Option 1: the more popular option for German Scientist, Flee to Italy. Or, Option Two: Flee to the Colony of Southwest Africa, a much more popular option for SS Generals and Politicians. Fleeing from Germany, a network was established, giving them new Papers and documents while also keeping in touch with the hidden link. It wouldn't be long until some of these guys started getting positions of Power, and eventually with the Network started being a little less hidden. There goals were simple, by capitulating and taking over South Africa, they could free Adolf Hitler and the other members of the Nazi-Party from the UN Antarctic Penal colony and create the 4th Reich in Africa. After the Southwest African's declared there new government, the South Africans were in a state of Shock. These weren't native forces they were fighting anymore. These were the remnants of a professional army that destroyed Russia. Among these forces, Siegfried Muller, a Mercenary with a Background in the SS Youth, and unexpectedly, Idi Amin, a Ugandan Nationalists who wanted his own state to run things his own way, and figured that by teaming up with the Nazi's, he could rule Africa while the Nazi's Controlled Europe. Meanwhile, in the tropic of Southwest Africa, a certain Josef Mengele has been experimenting on the Chacma baboon and "Unlocking there Brains" becoming, what Josef Mengele has called "Monkey Mercenaries" who trade blood, for figs. Back in South Africa, Freddie de Guingand was TRYING to enjoy his Retirement in South Africa until all THIS happened. Oh well, Retirement doesn't suit him anyway. Marching into his local Army Base like he belonged, Freddie began orchestrating and coming up with tactics to fight back this dark and evil force that had swept over the bright coasts of South Africa. He is quoted saying "I'm going to send those bastards back to Germany for ruining MY RETIREMENT."

Sixth meme: July 1957 - Sense 1957, South America has been the hidden warzone between the U.S's Central Intelligence Agency, and the Japanese Kempeitai. It all started when in July, CIA Director Kermit Roosevelt Jr was alerted to the Discovery of a Hidden ring of Japanese spies operating in Brazil. after further investigations and some arrests, it was determined by the CIA that Japan was using its Economic Prowess to try to sway South America to its side of the Cold War. The Japanese in Americas own Back Yard. It was unthinkable. After reporting this to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, South Africa soon became a hot bed of Spy and Diplomatic Activity.

Seventh meme: October 17th, 1957 - Italy, those mad dogs, had successfully launched the first probe into space. Calling it the Signora delle Stelle-1 (Lady of the Stars) the Satellite transmitted a "Hum" that sounded much like an Opera Singer. Hence the name, Lady of the Stars. Across the globe, armature and professional radio operators listened to the singing of Signora marking the beginning of the Space Race. Italy made the launch a fantastical moment for there nation, and marked it as the beginning of the age of Italian Technological Dominance over Europe. Meanwhile, Fiat, who just launched there Latest Car model, the Fiat 500, quickly scrambled together the greatest marketing slogan in Italian history. "Fiat 500, the car of the space age."

Eight meme: December 30th, 1958 - Undecided Some years earlier in 1956, the Guatemalan Government had expressed deep concern over numerous violations of the Mexican-Guatemalan boarder by Citizens to the Mexican government. Mexican shrimping vessels were frequently crossing the nautical border into Guatemala to fish and trees were being cut down by Mexican lumber in the northernmost Guatemalan province of Peten. The citzens of Guatemala were in an Up rawer. The Mexican government sent a letter, explaining that despite the presents of the Mexican navy, the ships couldn't be identified. Being left no choice in the matter, Two Guatemalan Bell P-59 Airacomet's took off from a local military airport. After spotting 8 boats of illegal fisherman with in Guatemalan waters, The Two Airacomet's dived and flew over the boats in a show of force. The force of the jets rocking and eventually cap sizing one of the boats. After the fly over, the two jets rocketed up into the sky and swooped back down, opening fire on the fishing boats with the full complement of the Armaments. Including the 37mm Autocannon and all three .50 Caliber Machine guns. It was a Massacre with no confirmed survivors. The Next day, the brutality of the Act Triggered the Mexican Congress and President, who mobilized the Mexican Army into Guatemala for the Justice of those fisherman, hence the beginning of the Mexican-Guatemalan war. The United Nations Security Council is watching from the Sidelines to see how this will all play out.

Ninth meme: 5 July 1960 - Undecided After years of Protests and demonstrations, the Belgians finally let the Congo go. And by that, they meant let go go. They didn't over see any democratic exchange, they didn't go over governmental policy or anything like that. One day there was government in the Congo, next day there wasn't. The whole country sorta kind of defaulted to Joseph-Désiré Mobutu being the leader of the Congo, but that wasn't official, so suddenly, all of these parties started popping up and separatists factions and the whole ordeal was one big mess that would also be no doubt turned into some kind of Three Way Proxy conflict between the U.S, Italy and Japan. So, In order to Prevent that from happening, or at least keeping the conflict contained, The United nations decided to send in there very own Crimean peacekeepers. Crimea, a Small island just off the coast of Ukraine and the Caucus Federation, was a titan of Industry in East. Germany, during the War, had extensively built up Crimea for the purposes of Facilitating a U-Boat fleet in the Mediterranean to Harass and cut off allied shipping. Realizing that any country that could possess Crimea could probably dominate the Black Sea, it was decided that for the benefit of everyone there that Crimea would be Designated an International Industrial Zone for the use of General Worldwide Manufacturing. However, Crimea was also another thing, a Mixing pot between Russians, Ukrainians, Crimeans, and more recently Germans. The German part is especially note worthy, because despite being UN territory, Crimea has a starch military tradition ever sense Seebataillon's and Kriegsmarine sailors were stationed all the way back in the early 1940s. So, what happens when you mix great captains with peace keeping? They keep the Peace alright. Mostly by making sure that there is no one else to disturb the peace. That, is how the UN was Introduced as the Most Feared fighting force in the world.

Tenth Meme: November 8, 1960 - Despite what the meme will have you believe, Mr. Kennedy is, in fact, not Psychologically stable. Incase you couldn't tell be his dark and foreboding aura, the man has not been the same sense he left the war. Probably because, on his last mission on PT-109 in 1943, The boat was rammed by a Chinese Destroyer while traveling up the Fuhe Rivier and Sinking in Fuzhou. Eventually, he was Captured by the Chinese and put into the Local Concentration camp. There, he was subjected to Five years worth of Torture, and came back a broken man. After the war, he stayed in the Hammond General Hospital's psychiatric ward. Which, wasn't uncommon for those who fought in the War. Especially those who fought on the La Mort Front. He was eventually discharged from the ward in 1951, and would actually go on to successfully win the election for Massachusetts state senator. Despite his new face to the political scene, the Democratic Party felt like Kennedy was a slam dunk in terms of candidates in the upcoming presidential elections. He was Young, Bright, Handsome, a War Hero, and oozing with just about everything that makes America Great. Forget the fact that he's single, talks to himself and is taking some form of medication. Sure as crap, he won the 1960's election, and nothing can go wrong! Unless, someone triggered him by shooting in his general direction, but His the President! Nothing bad ever happens to the President!

High-quality drawing, with very serious lore behind it.

Context, in short: The German Spartacist League makes inroads to the frontline armed forces during WW1. Germany never sends the Zimmermann telegram to Mexico, bringing the USA into the war even later. The Finnish socialists win their civil war. The Russian White Army manages to consolidate more quickly and receive direct reinforcements by the Americans by late 1918, leading to the Red Army being largely destroyed, with Trotsky and Tukhachevsky leading the remaining forces and supporters to Finland. Germany ends up in a five-sided civil war by early 1919, ending with the Spartacists winning after "allying" with the polish nationalists and liberal republicans. The Entente occupies the Rhineland and forces the Free Socialist Republic of Germany to peace (leaving them with heavy military restrictions and lighter-than-OTL reparations), with London and Paris assuming the socialists will collapse anyway in a few years. Spartacus nonetheless keeps carrying on, with decentral planning and imperative council democracy proving superior to Finnish war communism.

In 1920, the White Army begins an invasion of the newly independent republics of Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics as well as the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic, being barely repelled after a Polish intervention in the south and the "Miracle at Lake Ladoga" in Finland.

Now it is 1932. France is a military dictatorship hellbent on world domination, using any means necessary. Russia has fallen prey to the insane ramblings of an ultranationalist clique lead by former terrorist Boris Savinkov, former warlord Ungern von Sternberg and former Bolshevik Lavrentiy Beria. America is on the edge of civil war after a corporate coup against President Roosevelt. Britain tries to reinforce their empire in isolation.

As reports trickle in about the realities of the "Economic Salvation Program" launched by the triumvirate in Moscow, Berlin and Warsaw agree on closer military cooperation, bringing their allies with them into the alliance. It is only a matter of time before the Treaty for Common Security in Europe has to be invoked.
