Description The Alliances
Axis: USA and UK Allies: European Nations, USSR and Japan Description
U.S.A.: The United States is the world economic leader, and they control the UAN forces. The U.S. has been at complete peace for nearly ten years, since the formation of the UAN, which is a very powerful nation, being supported completely by the U.S. The UAN wants to gain power and security by attacking the weakened USSR which has made several threats towards the UAN because of their recent rise in economic power.
U.K.: The United Kingdom has signed a war pact with the United States, and is with the U.S. without question. The U.K. boasts a large and powerful navy which poses a large threat to the European Nations.
European Nations: The European Nations feels that the USSR is being treated unfairly, and joins sides with the USSR in order to prevent the U.S. and the UAN from gaining too much power.
USSR: The USSR is just coming off of a civil war, troops are depleted, and there is a new government in control. Decisions are crucial in the beginning of the war, borders are unprotected and moral is low. However, the USSR’s economy is high. Australia is now a world power, although they do not occupy much land they have a powerful navy. Australia moves simultaneously with USSR.
Japan: Japan is a world leader but still sufficiently behind the US’s economy. Japan has only one reason to join this war, they see an opportunity to hurt the U.S. and to gain economic power. Japan now controls China completely.
