Second World War (Britain's World)

The Second World War, alternatively known as WWII or World War II, was a military conflict spanning from June 1, 1876 to July 5, 1880. Two alliances, the Entente (centered on the Triple Entente) and the Alliance of Steel (centered on the Triple Alliance), composed of a vast majority of the world's nations, including the major powers of the time (America, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Great Britain, and France), engaged in a massive total war that saw the first use of several new and more lethal weapons than seen before, including the first implementations of the mega canon and warship. It created itself into the most devastating war in history up until that time, only to be surpassed by the Third World War. The war is generally accepted to have been started with the assassination of British Prime Minister Quentin Fisher and the subsequent declaration of war on the RSA by Great Britain. France, an ally of America, declared war on Britain in return, which made Russia declare war on France and America. The global system of alliances led to nearly all of the world's nations participating. Starting on 1 June, British troops began to move across the English channel, advancing a few miles before being halted by the French defence. There were also numerous naval battles in the Atlantic and English channel between the Reformed States Navy and the Royal Navy. Denmark declared support for France and America on 7 June, after which Germany demanded that Denmark not intervene lest Germany itself get involved on Britain's side. Denmark ultimately began giving supplies to France, resulting in the German invasion of Denmark. Ireland declared war on Germany and Britain in the name of the Triple Entente, prompting Russia and Italy to declare war on Ireland. The war also caused skirmishes in Asia and the Middle East, which the Ottomans intervened in on the Allied side. China also declared war on France and America with the intent of regaining land lost in previous wars. Japan, bound by the Franco-Japanese Pact of 1875, was obliged to declare war on China, and as a result, engulfed the entire Asian continent into the war. Ulysses S. Grant urged Congress to declare war on the Allied Powers, but was rejected twice until New Zealand, sending supplies and troops to Europe, invaded and attacked America's ally, the Republic of Australia. Grant achieved his declaration of war, igniting total war.|}|}
