The Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
With the annexation of the Soviet Union and her allies, a new order was formed in the world. On June 23rd Japan released the nation of Siberia, keeping for herself the Siberian coastline along the Pacific. Also that day the Germans turned over Kungrad to the Japanese empire, allowing it to create Uzbekistan. With these puppets created Japan suddenly freed up much of her transport capacity, allowing her to prepare for newer invasions.
During Japan's conquest of Russia, Germany was also invading Turkey, annexing it in mid-August. Italy too was becoming victorious in Africa, conducting an amphibious landing in Egypt, and quickly overruning northern africa, and even reconquering Libya. Seeing that the Middle East was becoming the main new warzone, the Japanese saw an oppurtunity to expand their empire.
In mid-September the Imperial Japanese Empire declared war on the nations of Iran and Afghanistan simultaneously. Around 30 divisions of IJN troops took part in the invasions, with 7 divisions from Pakistan and divisions of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan assisting. Fierce fighting occured along all fronts, but superior Japanese training and equipment payed off. By mid-October Afghanistan was annexed. In Iran the IJN also assisted in the invasion, landing 2 divisions in Abadan. They also landed 1 division in Basrah, Iraq, which was rapidly being overrun after Germany's victory in Turkey. By early November Iran was also annexed, with Germany conquering the Northwest of the country. With these victories victory was assured for the Axis nations.
Eventually, Britain and the rest of the Allies would be defeated, and a new world order came about, with Japan dominate in Asia and the Pacific, Germany and Italy in Europe, the middle east and Africa, and the United States in the Americas. Within only a decade the world had been drastically altered, and would last in the state it was in for a long time to come.

Ok that concludes my AAR. I had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope that you enjoyed it as well. It was a dissapointing end, but it was a fun journey.
With this over, I wish to create a new AAR. Anyone have suggestions as to which nation to play?
