THIS IS WHERE I AM:
EDIT: Later edits are in bold face.
USA invades Canada, on pretext of CAN attacking US, but in fact it was US agents
ENG responds and defends Canada, holds on
.... US govt tries to limit scope of war, says only "local"
... great concern expressed throughout America
... govt wants calm, we will win this war!
... US Congress meets, but supports Govt.
.... US House of Representatives very unhappy, but supports Govt.
Canadian Winter sets in, stalemate
ENG requests help from FRA, decision for FRA will decide future of Europe...
ENG allies with Japan
War restarts after Winter
Japan invades West and East coast
SHOCK in US!
.... Rebellion in South
.....CSA seceedes from USA, declares Independence
... not all at once, just the most southern states to begin with,
... but as the war nears, more states join the CSA
... The CSA is a total rerun of the Confederacy States
... but with more modern attitudes and worries
CSA declares a separate Peace with ENG and Japan
... other States considering their position
Southern California has great concern, no defences against Japan ("where is the army?")
.. US govt too slow to send help
... S. California seceedes from USA, declare Independence
.. takes control of US fleet at San Diego
... readies to defend State from sea invasion
Mexico has "arrangement" with ENG
Mexico invades USA, a 3rd Front opened.
... USA nears Collapse
... MEX invades Texan provinces
...TEX in uproar! Armed Insurrection to defend themselves
... TEX seceeds from USA, declares Independence
MEX attacks Southern California (from the land)
MEX defends what is has annexed from TEX
.. TEX accepts loss of El Paso in Peace Treaty with MEX
... MEX annexes S. California completely
USA collapses, Surrenders to CAN, MEX, ENG and JAP, war over.
Result:
ENG annexes NorthEast US region + a few provinces
JAP annexes provinces in NorthWest US, plus all US islands in Pacific. Puppets Philippines (from US)
MEX annexes El Paso from TEX, and Southern California
CAN annexes some border provinces, loses East St. Lawrence lands to ENG
USA is a shadow of its former self, but still a Power
CSA set up, independent country
TEX set up, independent country

Italy annexes Ethiopia, lauded as "great victors"
Italy ally's with Spain, sends army to help Gen. Franco's forces
... defeat for socialists in civil war? unless they also get help from somewhere?
.... from French socialists..?
... threat of conflagration if Spain+Italy vs France+Sp socialists +?.. GER?
Italy now key to European prospects of war................
ITA ready for war, recent success, allied with Spain, a major threat to Mediterranean peace
ITA expansion to Greece, Albania, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Middle East, Egypt, North Africa?
.. ITA and SPA (spain) eye French colonies in Middle East as reward vs France
.... LINKED to FRA decision at start of scenario
With ENG attention on North America, expresses "more splendid isolation" policy from European affairs
.. sees no threat to Gibraltar, as Spain "easily overcome" if necessary
.. would ITA/SPA take on ENG?
Australia and New Zealand express concerns of being left high and dry vs JAP
... ENG say no worries, as JAP "civilised for hundreds of years" and have Treaty
India growing towards Independence, as does Burma/Indochina
GER encouraged in war plans against "East". Not ready, needs more time to rearm.
SOV alarmed, looks to set up "defence pact" with Eastern European countries
.. SOV concerned now with JAP in Asia also
POL not interested in defence pact with SOV, but who will help defend them otherwise?
... POL looks north to Scandanavia...south with Hungary, Romania...
.. All of Europe is seeking help to defend themselves
... no USA Monroe Doctrine anymore, small countries will have to fend for themselves
... small countries looking to align to save themselves...
JAP plans for empire expansion
MEX eyeing more conquests (south?)
CAN now concerned as minorities (native population) seeking own lands
... Quebec rises again as issue of concern
FRA in internal turmoil
China in internal turmoil, with communist revolt.
Not looking good for World Peace prospects....................
.. issues of communism/facism/socialism only concerns for major Powers
... small countries only concerned with survival
... rise of the "militaristic dictatorship" a common theme
... it seems the period of peace, the time of the "ideals of the League of Nations" are sadly coming to an end
.. Will Italy change Europe before GER gets a chance to?
