World War I Simulation 2005

WAR IS OVER: The Central Powers defeat the Allied Powers as Paris & Brest fall to German and Italian troops. In Russia, Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin overthrows the tsar and pulls Russia out of the war.

In other developments, the Kingdom of Italy proves itself the supreme naval power of Europe, dominating the sea routes of Western and Southern Europe. The Ottoman Empire rises again, even to the point of taking breakaway Rumania back from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Germany remains the dominant power of Central Europe and proves Bismarck wrong by successfully fighting a two-front war.

Britain, Europe's pre-war "#1 empire," is left with an unknown future. While technically not at war with Italy, Britain remains engaged in combat with Germany, which could easily turn its attention to the island state.
