I have picked up my united scandinavia mod, and I could use some inspiration and/or ideas about possible events that could cause scandinavia to go facist through multiple events. I have plans on making scandinavia expansionistic once they get into a more radical political path.
I have played around with three parallell developments for Sweden:
1) the fascist option
Since fascism is inherently nationalistic I have made an effort to base this on the scandinaviansist thoughts developen in Denmark before the war with Genamy in the 19th century.
To counter the very real communist threat after WWI (Finland even had a civil war) the fascist movement in Sweden infiltrates the army, there is a military coup (masked as defence against a communist revolution) and then Sweden "aids" Denmark and Norway where the fascist parties has done similar groundwork.
Here Scandinavia keeps all air, fleet and army units each country start with ad get a few "SA style" units
This unites Scandinavia and I then have options to go totally balistic and reclaim the Baltic and northern German provinces held by Sweden & Denmark in the 17th century.
...or they can enter into an allience with Germany or Italy
Finland who already has crushed the reds revolution can later join the Scandinavian union when the Soviet threat is more and more real.
2) The communist option.
Basically the same thing but with a commie revolution instead. This disbands the armies and replaces it with revolutionary militia.
The option here after the coup is to join a Soviet allience or not.
It also has the option to instantly "help" the opressed masses in Finland - but since I never revoke Germany's GoI to Finland this is a bit risky...
3) The Royal bloodline
Inspired by SMEP I have expanded on an event chain where unrest created by commies and fascists is stopped by a return to "the good old monarchy". basically martial law is declared, the king is figurehead of a militaristic government who then can support similar development in Denmark & Norway - by sending in the troops and defeting the revolutionary governments and liberate the people and, of cource, the imprisoned monarchs who then all agree to create a Scandinavian Empire consisting of the three Kingdoms.
I always get to be Emperor... :rofl:
In this chain I also have the option to get cores in the baltics (Northern Germany) but then in opposition to an industrial development option or tecchnology development option (kind of SMEP like but changes ministers and sliders as well)
As history unfolds I have a few events that fire when SCW occurs and ends (a communist government can send loads of manpower but nothing else - and get back some manpower and blueprints, a fascist gewernment sends existing divisions, manpower, money, supplies... and get elite divisions in return... etc), when Germany starts to move (Austria, Checkoslovakia, Poland...) etc (will a fashist Scandinavia really support THAT kind of German government - will a Commie Scandinavia GoI Poland?)
