In 1921, the Chancellor of the Hungarian Republic was shot dead in the streets by a young man, about the age of 19. He was almost arrested but attempted to commit suicide by jumping into a nearby river, washing down to a small town where he died of hypothermia several days later. It was found, a month later, he had been working for a Polish nationalist terrorist cell whose goal was to start a war between Hungary and Russia. They succeeded, causing war to spread across Europe.
During the war, Winston Churchill died at the battle of Frankefurt, when he was struck with a German shell; fifty thousand English men died that day. Their situation was worsened when the British garrison's in India were overthrown, supplied by the new Communist Union of Slavic Republics, or CUSR, in exchange for forming a new Communist government. This was, however, short-lived due to religious tensions, and split apart into many different Indian states.
Regardless, England was slowly worn down and, without assistance from the US (who was busy dealing with a series of Prohibition Wars, as many states had refused to carry out the 18th Amendment), losing steam; London river was apparently so laden with corpses, the rotting bodies formed a bog. It was forced to surrender, and lose many of its territories abroad. Things were worsened when Ireland and Scottland formed a rebellion, marching into England and burning down Buckminster Palace. The Royal Family was publicly executed, and had their corpses displayed on pikes for all to see.
During the war, a German art school was destroyed, killing a student named Adolf Hitler.
Europe was fundamentally shifted as power now rested in the newly arisen CUSR, whose dominion reached as far west as Germany and as far south as Italy. This would eventually lead to instability and cause it to split in half, but for a decade, it seemed invincible. The US, fearing it, quickly repealed the 18th amendment to reunited the States, which was easier said then done, but it managed to get get things together.
Japan invaded Korea, leading to a war between it, the various Chinese warlords, CUSR, and some parts of India. While it was able to easily defeat its Asian rivals, Russia did not forgive or forget easily, and led a brutal attack against Japan. This, however, only drove CUSR closer to it's divide.
