Great Revolutionary War

Great Revolutionary War, also known as World War II, was a global war that lasted from 1940 to 1946. It involved three major factions, two of which formed a temporary alliance - the socialist members of the Third Communist International, which were joined by the liberal capitalist Allied Powers in an alliance against the mostly fascist Axis Powers. The war is considered to be the largest and most deadly conflict in human history, with casualties worldwide in the tens of millions. It is generally considered to have started with the Nazi German invasion of the Soviet Union in May 1940, but it also grew to entangle a number of already-ongoing conflicts, such as the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Spanish Civil War. The war ended with the surrender of the two major remaining Axis Powers, Germany and Japan, in 1946.

Following the end of the war, the Cold War would begin, a prolonged period of global geopolitical tension and intermittent conflict between the Comintern and the former Allied Powers, reconstituted as the Alliance of Free States.
