AN: This is a rewrite of the prologue, because someone pointed out it sucked and I agreed. Major liberties will be taken, because the axis wouldn't be able to win otherwise. This is a timeline, story starts next chapter.

1932:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt suffers a heart attack and passes away few days after swearing into office. This leaves John Nance Garner as president, he attempts to go through with Roosevelt's plan to recoup after the depression, but he fails to do so as well.

1936:

Garner is unpopular, and Harry Truman is voted in, he serves two more terms. He does a better job at recovering from the depression than Garner, but wasn't enough to get the US into full shape in time.

1940:

Instead of wasting mass amounts of resources to bomb Britain, Germany instead focuses on finding more fuel, and materials. Thus preventing the British from discovering German magnetic mines before they are used in combat. Pushing into Africa and the middle east, the Axis finds resources. Seeing the benefits of radar, the Nazi's employ it, leading to massive air battles over the English Channel.

1941:

Coaxing the Japanese into war with the Soviets instead of the US provides a double sided front for the Soviet Union. Without mass amounts of American Lend-Lease supplies the Soviets are under armed.

1942:

Due to either side really pushing against each other after the invasion of France, beside some failed invasions, The Reich pushes into Soviet territory in order to claim more fuel supplies. A very angry Hitler is talked out of sending resources to Stalingrad, even though according to him, "I really wanted to though." The main Soviet oil fields are captured, but by then the Soviets begin a war of attrition and are grinding down on the German lines. When winter came and left the Japanese and Germans launched a major offensive against the Soviets agreeing to give Germany the territory and give Japan more Pacific land,

1943:

The Soviets are finally defeated with the land going to the Reich. After the gaining of Soviet Resources, mainly titanium, jet aircraft are developed in mass. Japan launches a surprise against US territories and Pearl Harbor. Initiating Operation Sea Lion, the British don't go down without a fight. Employing use of chemical agents against the Germans as a last resort. The casualties are massive. Winston Churchill flees to Canada, and the US Declares war on Germany. Britain is conquered, but not without heavy resistance. The Americans launch an amphibious invasion against Germany, they managed to reclaim portions of England.

1944:

Germany has all but managed to push the US out of England, but their campaign came at a price. Being unable to fully fund their war with japan. The United States not having fully recovered from the depression was unable to push against either side, and could only watch as Australia got conquered by Japan.

1945:

In a last ditch effort to try to stop the axis, the US launches a B-29 modified for long range flight armed with an experimental untested device for a suicide mission. The plane was shot down over Paris, but in a last ditch effort to prevent it from falling into enemy hands the crew detonated it. Atomic fire rained down on Paris, the first ever nuclear device was detonated. Seeing the potential of the bomb, Hitler ordered that one be made as soon as possible.

1947: After three more atom bombs deployed by the Americans, one more on Germany, and two one Japan. As well as many failed invasions against the US mainland, the Reich deployed its first nuclear bomb, decimating the city of Trenton, which had a few factories, the two made another push. The Germans broke through, but the Japanese did not. The war was hard, practically every civilian had a gun, making occupying towns much harder than they were in other places.

1951:

Due to the US not having the nazi rocket scientists, the nazis deploy a ballistic missile, tipped with a thermonuclear warhead, the first of its kind. Due to the range limiting factors, the missile is launched at Chicago, but misses its target by a mile, the damage done is still high. Later that year, the United States surrenders, with all of its nuclear piles controlled, and the capabilities of its enemies.

1952:

The Reich bans any knowledge and speaking of any so called, "atrocities," Committed during the war of unification.

1986:

The first man is put on the moon, and a GPS system is put into orbit, the event was televised across the globe for all to see.

1996:

The last non Axis controlled territory is claimed by the Reich, all of the world is now under Axis rule. Tensions run high, as both the Reich and Japan now see the other as a threat, the vision of a unified world under one empire is a considered the greatest mission of the Reich. The Agrarian community of Italy provides minute amount of forces to support the Reich, the reason being Italy is the food production center for the Reich

2003:

The war against Japan and the Reich begin, with the Reich starting off with a first strike consisting of cobalt salted thermonuclear weapons, the Japanese homeland becomes uninhabitable. China and the Pacific and American forces are cleaned up quickly, due to the japanese not developing computer guided missiles, and still seeing as machine guns as viable armament.

2004:

No Japanese surrender was given, seeing as they all died to the first strike. All surviving Japanese soldiers killed themselves or fought till they died. The Reich thus supplanted itself as the first empire in Human history to claim dominance over the entire plants.

2017:

The story begins on the next page.

AN: I know it's kind of barebones, but I know it's better than what was previously there.
