USSR: late 1940 - early 1941
As it became clear that Germany and the USA had agreed for German forces to evacuate North America - treacherous fascists and capitalists working together, how inevitable! - Stalin knew these would be used against his Soviet Union. However, the war in Japan persisted as Japanese forces dug in around the south of China, so the Great Leader aimed to make peace with Japan before the summer of 1941. He began offering white peace to Japan, something the determined Japanese leadership regretfully refused. Stalin persisted in bringing peace to Asia, with the Japanese rejecting all reasonable offers of an end to hostilities.
In March 1941 the Red Army was so caught up in Asia that it only had 142 divisions to face German forces. The USSR was in great peril, being mightily exposed to German attack...
In the meanwhile Stalin brought communism to the Tibetan people, declaring war on the backward feudal state on 16th January 1941 completely liberating them by 28th February.
