It all changed when Japan bombed the USA and when Germany failed on their surprise attack against their former “ally”, the Soviet Union. Only one contender remained in Europe, which is the United Kingdom. In a year, most of the European Allies failed completely with their land taken by the Axis. Tanks such as the famous Panzers and planes such as the Supermarines were built and men were conscripted to war. Most of Europe had declared war against Nazi Germany and their Axis allies: Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, etc. In the East, the Empire of Japan, which was already at war with China due to the Marco Polo incident, allied with Nazi Germany. After annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia, Germany invaded Poland, starting World War II the largest war the world had ever seen. The Nazis were also interested in reconquering the lost remnants of the German Empire. With enough support, the Nazis created Nazi Germany as a successor to the German Weimar Republic (which overthrew the German Empire). With the humiliation of the loss of World War I and the effect of the Great Depression, Germany has an increased wave of extreme fascism, called Nazism, which is a radical nationalist and socialist party. The recession had affected many Western nations and was a step back for recovering for European nations. Poverty increased and the economy was badly damaged. In 1929, it all changed when the Stock Exchange crashed triggering the infamous 10-year Great Depression. In the East, Russia, now a Communist state became the Soviet Union after the overthrow of the Russian monarchy. Even though Europe was affected positively by the Roaring Twenties, it was still struggling to recover from World War I. Women's rights were further recognized with universal suffrage. Jazz, cinema, fashion, and a variety of dances were invented during this time. Art-deco architecture was invented and some of the tallest buildings in the world were built like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building in New York. The economy, arts, and the culture thrived. After World War I ( Industrial Age), the United States lived peacefully and prospered in the Roaring Twenties and as did other countries like the United Kingdom and France. The Global Age revolves around an advanced culture, World War II, and the beginning of the Cold War. This age lasted from 1920 AD/CE to 1955 AD/CE. The Global Age is a time of modern warfare, discovery, upheavals, political conflicts, depression, alliances, music, arts, architecture, inventions, and transportation.
