Events around the world between January 1937 to May 1937
In Asia
In Japan the Niigata Riots ended peacefully when the Emperor sent in a goverment delegation to negotiate with the rioting labor union. Eventually a compromise was found and Stability was restored within the Japanese Diet. As a result of the successful negotiations, Japan turned to a state of relative peace, and took a much more neutral stance towards the Third Chinese Revolution.
In Western China, the Mongolian/Tibetan Alliance against The Three Ma's lead to Mongolian Victory. However, much to the surprise of the rest of the world, von Sternberg chose a more moderate path towards his conquests. Whatever this means for the rest of Asia is not clear, but what is known is that von Sternberg won't be satisfied with only the Gobi Desert.
And in India, the Bengali Faction began the creation of a secret police force, proving to the Republic that Syndicalism is no better than any other authoritarian regime.
In Spain, riots broke out between rival political parties, the violence reached a point where the Kingdom was unable to maintain order and Martial Law was declared, along with the cancelation of the elections.
As a result of the Martial Law and the election cancelation, a coalition of Anarchists and Syndicalists rose up and declared war against the Monarchy. The C.N.T/F.A.I Control most of the meditereanian coast and has already received support from most of the Third International.
The Americas
The Second American Civil War began not long before the start of the Third Chinese Revolution. In the early phases, the Combined Syndicates of America, Centered around Chicago, managed to control most of the northern Rust Belt of the United States, to the South, and Fundimentalist Coalition known as the American Union State also rose up in opposition against the fairly elected and legitimate American Government.
For fear of the Syndicalists taking over the USA's industrial Northeast, Royalist Canada invaded New England and set up a neutral government there.
As the war dragged on, the United States regrouped and began pushing the other two factions further west. Reaching the point where the Fascist faction nearly forged an alliance with their ideological opposites, if only to defeat the US.
In Regard to the 2nd American Civil War said:
For many in the upstart Republic of China, it was hoped that the US would manage to regain control the thier country from the rebel factions. For the world to lose it's model democracy would be a blow for China's own democratic movement. And while the Americans were not yet willing to recognize the new Chinese state, there were indeed high hopes.
