Dalmatia elected a Female President, Veronika Pajerova, and she is now one of the most influential leaders of the PES at the grand age of 97. She, through The Dalmatian Treaty of 1921 with Austria-Hungary, almost doubled the size of her nation, freeing many Dalmatians from oppression. The PBS, in mid 1915, took the name PES, or League for the Peace of European States. They have raised membership Europe-wide, and so far the rosters include Serbia, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Dalmatia, Russia, The U.K, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Romania, Bulgaria, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Bel-Slavia, Ireland, The Republic of Crimea, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Denmark, France, Andorra, and Lichtenstein. In the late fifties, they pooled with America to create the U.N, or United Nations. This includes almost all nations in the world, and is run separately from the PES, though the two are considered allied parties.
1n 1916, England gave its holdings in Northern Germany to Denmark, which nearly sparked another war between the three nations. Peace talks were initiated, and reluctantly, Germany agreed to let Denmark possess the land, though slight political tension was evident between the countries for the next decade or so.
In 1924, Austria-Hungary was engulfed in civil war, which was resolved bloodlessly through the efforts of the PES and resulted in the splitting of the country into Austria and Hungary. In 1964, Slavic Hungarians revolted, and, through the PES, this revolution was settled by taking a chunk of eastern Hungary, to become Slovakia. Romanian nationalists, in 1965, won for their nation a patch of lands in Slovakia.
In 1932, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party led a revolt against The German Empire, and took control of a large section of Berlin. In 1933, he was captured by military forces, tried, and sentenced to death. Several of his officers and soldiers were sent to prison, and the land was returned to Germany.
In 1935, the ruler of Portugal died, and was replaced by Pedro Silva Tavares, a charismatic dictator who ruled with an iron fist. He invaded Spain in 1936, and, taking the Spanish off guard, quickly seized central Spain, and executed countless officials in Madrid. Upon the orders of Pedro, the cities of Madrid, Cuenca, Toledo, Cebreros, Mora, and other various others in the region were all razed to the ground, their inhabitants slaughtered, and their wealth in the Portuguese coffers. The Portuguese revolted against their tyrannical ruler, and, aided greatly by PES forces from Spain and Italy, crushed their cruel leader, executing him for his crimes. His ringleaders were imprisoned or killed. Portugal became a Democratic country, and in 1939, they elected Kal Dania Motep, a foreigner from Sardinia, as the First President of Portugal for a 5 year term. He financed the rebuild of the destroyed cities, and paid dues to all those affected by the catastrophe, though it made himself and his nation poor. From 1940-1947, He helped personally in the rebuild of Madrid. He was re-elected eight times, but he died in office in 1977. All lands have been returned to Spain, and the two countries have been peaceful since, though there are still major underlying tensions. The current president is Kal Dania Motep III, and some are considering edging in a monarchy, though Motep has refused outright all offers.
French revolts were a major problem in occupied lands until they were finally successful on August 2, 1942 in overthrowing northwestern France. They formed a republic, have found a way to make peace with Germany and Spain through the PES, and remain a much smaller country than they were before the war. Through treaties in 1948 and 1953, they have taken in even more land. The borders between Germany and Spain have shifted slightly to account for local land ownership issues.
In 1949, Bulgaria dissolved as a country, and much of its western holdings were swallowed by its neighbors, though a young officer named Ferdinand Tsankov was able to hold onto much of Bulgarian territory. In 1950, he managed to regain control of the now drastically smaller nation, and was welcomed by nationalists as a hero. He put in place a Monarchy which he now leads.
In 1954, Serbia faced an uprising from a small terrorist group that's founders were the very ones who laid out the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand. Yep, you guessed it, The Black Hand survived, but had lost their nationalist fervor, actually growing to hate their government. They assassinated the Serbian leader while he was in Sarajevo, just like the duke. They faced immediate retribution from the PES, but the damage was done. With Serbia’s ruler out of the way, other groups took it in their head to revolt, including Sarajevo. Serbia, split in twain, turned to the PES to resolve the conflict. Sarajevo was declared as independent, and many of the supporters for either side caught in the wrong country moved where they belonged. The Black Hand was caught "Black handed" in 1956 hiding out in a small village in Hungary, stirring up yet more trouble, this time for the love of Serbia. In 1957, Hungarians swayed by the Black Hand and their ways took up a revolt, and were summarily rounded up by Hungarian Authorities. People in the cities took their side, and by 1960, most of the people in and around Belgrade were revolting from Hungary. In 1962, Hungary gave up trying to suppress the insurrection and declared the troubled lands part of the State of Sarajevo. In 1963, the country took the official name of Bel-Slavia and has adopted a democratic constitution. Their current President is Andrei Pajerova, the Dalmatian leader’s grandson.
In 1965, Russia and Germany, with tensions between the two nations rising, freed the Polish state to be a buffer zone between the two nations. In 1967, Russia attacked the Ottoman Empire, and was beaten back very easily. In 1968, the Ottomans joined the PES and they convinced Russia to abandon their fight. In 1970, Russia freed Armenia, and granted a swath of land to Romania. In 1973, The Republic of Crimea won its independence through the PES, with Ottoman support. In 1975, both The Ottoman Empire and Russia agreed to an alliance, Russia's ambitions hampered by walls of their own making.
Throughout much of the fifties and sixties, Ireland was in a state of constant civil war in which there was nothing the PES could do about it. Eventually, in 1969, most of the Irish nation declared independence from the U.K, though the North-eastern section of the country remains loyal to England. Animosities between North Ireland and its counterpart have decreased slowly, but much violence still occurs between the two sects. It is still a hotly debated topic in the PES and the U.N.
All European holdings in Africa were removed by 1976, when Italy granted Libya its independence. The Middle-East, however, remained a monopoly of the Ottoman Empire, which took over just after the Great War. In 1979, they granted independence to Arabia, with much pressure from the PES, and lost most of their income.
