| The Second Franco-Prussian War was a large war in the west of Europe, starting mid 2040 and ending in late 2041. The war began as the Rationalist Order lead by [[France]] declared war on CETO as a last ditch effort of stopping [[Cinatit The Corruptor|Cinatit]] from comming to power in [[4th Reich|Germany]] and declaring a [[Fifth Reich of Deutschland (AFOE: Collapse)|Fifth Reich]].{{ConflictBox|campaignbox=|territory=-France loses border territories to Germany, Andora, Monaco and Luxemburg | | The Second Franco-Prussian War was a large war in the west of Europe, starting in early 2040 and ending in late 2041.{{ConflictBox|campaignbox=|territory=-France loses border territories to Germany, Andora, Monaco and Luxemburg |

| == Background ==
| |
| [[France]] had been going to great lengths in order to counter the growing influence of the [[Cinatit The Corruptor|Reich]], but to little success. Following [[Russian Apocalypse|the nukes]] of [[World War 2.5]], along with all of the members that had left the alliance, CETO was weaker than ever before and finally eligible to an invasion by the Rationalist Order, [[France]]'s alliance made for countering [[Cinatit The Corruptor|CTC]].
| |
|
| |
| == War ==
| |
|
| |
| ==== '''Start of the Invasion''' ====
| |
| As the war began, France started pushing into Flanders and Holland, soon capturing a half-flooded Amsterdam from the Nertherlands. He was also quick to capitulate Luxemburg and launched an unsuccessfull spearhead towards Frankfurt. Meanwhile, Italy was invading Austria, trying to cross the Alps. In spite of the harsh terrain however, he still managed to capture Graz, which was at the time capital of Austria, since Vienna laid in ruins. Though Italy would come close to capitulating Austria during the war, his front had no major impact on the war as a whole, due to the harsh mountains in the way of [[4th Reich|Germany]].
| |
|
| |
| ==== '''Battle of the Rhineland''' ====
| |
| During the winter of 2040, CETO forces, primarily [[4th Reich|German]] ones, would manage to push the [[France|French]] out of the Netherlands as well as push back the small [[France|French]] spearhead towards Frankfurt. This however, would be the max extent of the [[4th Reich|German]] counter-offensive, as [[France]] would during the spring of 2041 launch a large schale offensive into the Rhineland, capturing it with only minor resistance, along with most of the [[4th Reich|German]] war industry. After this however, [[4th Reich|Germany]] would launch Operation Hangman, spearheading to Luxemburg and encircling most of the [[France|French]] army in the Rhineland.
| |
|
| |
| ==== '''Back and Forth''' ====
| |
| After Operation Hangman had been executed, the [[France|French State]] issued the recruitment of many new troops and reinforcements from his allies both in Europe and in Africa. While the encirclement in the Rhineland was being closed, [[France]] managed to achieve a minor push, not enough to free it but enough to make a small encirclement of his own in the Saarland. After this the [[4th Reich|German]] armies would return to the main front and push the Rationalist Order back into [[France]] propper. This offensive was however eventually repelled as the new reinforcements were ready, and the Rationalist Order subsequently launched a new offensive, taking Brussels and reaching the gates of Frankfurt yet again.
| |
|
| |
| ==== '''Endsieg''' ====
| |
| Due to the pacifism and trauma of the [[4th Reich|Fourth Reich]], no mass conscription or national rallies had been carried out and a decent part of the [[4th Reich|German]] industry was still focused on consumer goods. This made him effectively unable to stop the impending, slow but steady [[France|French]] advance. [[France]], seeking to utilize this, proclaimed the moral high ground and started mass propaganda campaigns along with Poland, blaming [[4th Reich|Germany]] for the fall of the [[Old West]] and pointing at his growing neonazi movement as proof he hasn't changed since the days of World War 2. Then, suddenly, [[4th Reich|Germany]] lost control over his armies, as they under the command of [[Cinatit The Corruptor]] began blitzkrieging, breaking apart the [[France|French]] line and capturing Paris in just five days. [[France]] would then start monologing once more and proclaiming his defeat, before unconditionally surrendering, as he already knew it to be too late to stop [[Return of the Reich|the inevitable.]]
| |
|
| |
| == Treaty of Frankfurt ==
| |
|
| |
| ====== Article 1 ======
| |
| ''§1 Germany regains Alsace-Lorraine and border territory is granted to Luxemburg, Andora and Monaco.''
| |
|
| |
| ''§2 Wallonia is given independence.''
| |
|
| |
| ====== Article 2 ======
| |
| ''§3 [[France]] recieves a new, democratic government, and becomes a puppet of the [[4th Reich]].''
| |
|
| |
| ''§4 Spain and Italy are not to start new wars, which will be enforced by CETO.''
| |
|
| |
| ''§5 The Rationalist Order is dissolved.''
| |
|
| |
| ''§6 Françafrique is dissolved.''
| |
|
| |
| === '''Result''' ===
| |
| The dissolution of the Françafrique would entail the propper independence of 14 African countries from [[France|French]] neocolonialism. As a result, many of the dictatorships now no longer propped up by [[France|French]] influence would face democratic revolutions, paving the war for the [[1st African Revolution|First African Revolution]]. Additionally, after having faced now too exhausting wars, [[4th Reich|Germany]] would face a revolution and the [[return of the Reich]], in 2043.
