The Race conquest force was destroyed, and the advanced technologies they brought over were picked over by the victorious humans. The powers of Earth united against this alien threat, even investing in the creation of a League of Nations military, to repel the Race invasion. The Race believed they were invading a world stuck in the Middle Ages, and so were unprepared for a war against an industrialized planet, but they were still a threat to all of mankind. An alien species calling itself The Race invaded. The Spanish Civil War in 1939 brought the world to the brink, but cooler heads prevailed. New and terrible technologies were developed by brilliant and mad minds, and it seemed as though the world was going to fight another Great War. Japan, taking advantage of the chaos in China, invaded, prompting the Chinese to rally around a new emperor. The British Empire collapsed as a series of revolts, ending with much of Africa under control of African nationalist regimes. The United States shattered into several pieces, reforming into three pieces once the dust settled. In 1933, the radical Nazi Party gained absolute power over Germany.
The Kingdom of Italy split in two in 1931, between the reactionary Catholic Kingdom and the fascist Italian Social Republic. The post-war situation in Europe and the Americas was little better, with both old and new institutions on shaky ground. China collapsed into warlordism as the already shaky authority of the Republic of China was outright destroyed by the flu. The Russian Civil War was a narrow victory for the Bolsheviks, even though the leader of the Red Army, Leon Trotsky, died of the flu in 1920. This disaster caused the wars raging through Europe to end, as more soldiers dropped dead from disease than they did from enemy action. By 1920, when the disease finally abated, a total of 180 million people were dead, mostly the young and otherwise healthy. In 1918, the Spanish Influenza, so named because the Spanish press was the first in Europe to make neutral reports on the disease, ravaged the world. The timeline includes more factions than its source material - most notably, the Allies are split up and the Nazis are added back into the timeline. The Paradox Wars is a scenario based on the video game Red Alert 3, more specifically the now-defunct Red Alert 3 Paradox mod.
