Description

Ok, here it is, the Europe map from Butterfly Hurricane :D
Finally lost my artists-block this morning, so I finished this off today.

Right, where to begin... first, a couple of notes;
R. = Republic
S.R. = Socialist Republic
P.R. = People's Republic
Also, sorry if you're from Lichtenstein, but your nation's name is too long :P (hey, at least you've not been taken over by Germany :D)

The end of the second world war in Europe came in 1939, after the assasination of Hitler by German rebels. In the months afterwards, a series of succesful missions against Germany and her allies saw the Axis sue for peace with the Allied powers. By this point, all European nations were exhausted, so the chance at peace was a welcome one to all - even if it meant making sacrifices.
A key part of the Treaty of Berlin, as it became known, was the sharing of technologies - a major impetus for nations such as Britain, Russia, and France to agree to Germany's demands to keep lands they had gained from the war. Technologies developed during the war then shared among the nations of Europe became key parts of the reconstruction projects afterwards.

In the 1970's, the collapse of the sprawling German Union occoured, when the nation took on a Federal state-based system of government to try and cope with increasing unrest and dissillusionment from the outer provinces and territories, demonstrated by independance movements all around the nation. Some, like those in Prussia or Bavaria, were fairly mild, but others, like in East France or Bohemia, were far stronger, sometimes violent. Rebranding itself as the Federation of Greater Germany, and granting independance to many states over the course of 1978-85, Germany by the modern day is still living with its legacy of the war; it is still a large, bloated, overburdened nation, rife with political and ethnic seperatism, strugling to find a concept of national identity when so many people would rather not be in the nation.
Elsewhere in Europe, Britain took control of Iceland and Greenland from Denmark, which had been subsumed into the German Union. The Popular Revolution in Britain, shortly afterwards, saw the Royal Family dethroned, and the nation turned into a Republic. A decade later, the monarchy was restored, but not without caveats - the monarchs wore more of a ceremonial title, with little benefits and even less power. The nation still remained effectively a Republic. When Ireland was reunited in 1962, large numbers of Protestant Irish from the north moved to either Britain, Iceland, or Greenland; the population of the North Atlantic areas of the Republic is still majority Irish, with the second largest ethnicity being Danish.

Anyway, thats all I can be bothered to write for now :) Hope you like it, (nice) comments and questions more than welcome, and I'll try to answer them as they come.

Cheers

Love the idea of Hitler getting assassinated by the German rebels is Count Von Stauffenburg involved in this timeline?
