The Great War is over! NEVER AGAIN! I’m sure everything will be fine from here on out… Wrong. There are a myriad of UNRESOLVED TENSIONS leftover after the first World War. Conflicts continued to rage after the Great War. And, these are not small localized wars. Conflicts like the Russian and Chinese Civil Wars saw Communism rise as a viable alternative to Capitalism. The Great Depression brought the world to its financial knees, shaking the earth’s finances to its core. Communism wasn’t the only alternative to the status quo as Fascist dictatorships brought the world to the brink of another Global Conflict.
