World War Two

In 1984, Adolf Gloopius Hitler was born in Branau am Inn in Austria under Emperor Francis. He was a very smart child and in 1999, built his time machine, the same one Pope Francis would later take for his own for his own time traveling escapades. The war would be refered to as WWII, because the first world war technically was the Thirty Years Francis, and the WWI of our timeline never happened.

Hitler would time travel to 1922, where he tried to start the Novus Ordo about 40 years earlier, and to depose Francis from power within the Holy Roman Empire. Gaining much power and support from modernists in Germany, he launched a beer hall putsch in 1923, however he was caught by the HRE and arrested. In prison, he wrote "Mein Kampf" a book describing his struggle against Catholicism, the Papacy, the Holy Roman Empire, and everything that's good. 

When he was released in 1924, he fought hard to gain power back, and teamed up with several political leaders like Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, and later Heinrich Himmler to start a rebellion in Germany. In secrecy, he trained nearly 2 million soldiers, gained volunteers from other countries, and illegally secured arms, tanks, planes, and logistical supplies from rival countries. 

Later that year in 1924, Emperor Francis sent Joseph Goebbels to keep tabs on them and to work as a double agent. After discovering their plan in 1933, Francis declared the NSDAP a terrorist organization and began conducting raids and crackdowns on NSDAP rallies. In 1939, the NSDAP fully mobilized and began an all out civil war against the HRE. With the help of Mussolini and Franco, the Kaiser led the Francis Powers, while the NSDAP was supported by several other rebel movements like the Volunteer Legion Netherlands, Britain, and the USSR. The Kingdom of Sicily under King Giovanni Gentile would remain neutral, but a NSDAP U-boat had sunk a passenger vessel near the Strait of Messina in 1942, which led to Sicily's involvement in the war, however they only sent around 750 troops and 2 tanks due to resource constraints and other conflicts within their borders.

The war was broken in 3 major offensives

The Austrian Offensive
African Campaign
Western French Campaign

The first major battle resulted in a crushing defeat for Mussolinis army at Aachen, however with a combined Spanish, Italian, and German army they surrounded the NSDAP army in Aachen and nearly routed them, however Danish reinforcements arrived and broke the encirclement, allowing the NSDAP to escape. After Aachen, the NSDAP began a push into Austria, but was met with heavy Italian and Imperial resistance, with some Hungarian forces launching a surprise attack from France into Germany to retake Cologne, however this assault was slow and didnt make much progress. In 1943 the NSDAP had Vienna in siege at 50 miles away, but a fatal error from Obersturmfuhrer Jimmy Martin led 35% of the NSDAP army to reroute to reinforce the western border incase France got involved, which messed up their logistics and manpower, allowing a swift ambush from a combined counterattack of Imperial troops along with many Italian and Spanish troops to encircle the NSDAP army and defeat them in a 3 week battle, which by far was the most bloody battle of the war. The NSDAP retreated to Linz which they had captured. While in a small town near Linz, Waffen-SS commander and squid,  SS-oberführer, Oskar Dirlewanger, had captured 40,000 Austrian citizens and had them systematically executed in a last ditch effort to demoralize the Austrians and potentially win the war. In 1944, the NSDAP had fortified Linz and had sent most of their army to defend it, in an attempt to wear down the Francis Powers into surrender. While a few skirmishes broke out in the East, little movement was made until in 1945 when the Francis Powers rallied forth an assault at Linz.

While this was happening, Sicilian general born in Weissach, Field marshal Ervinu Romelu, was sent to the Sicilian colony in Tunisia to counter a sudden NSDAP attack. After intense tank fighting that lasted for 2 years, Romelu officially beat back the NSDAP attack and was sent back north to Germany to help assist in the main campaign in Austria. While the British had tried to help, they lacked the manpower and logistics to really make an effort in helping the NSDAP. During the evacuation of Tunis, several British naval vessels trying to evacuate British and NSDAP soldiers were intercepted by Sicilian battleships and frigates, and were quickly destroyed, knocking Britain out of the war in a quick fatal blow.

The war waged on for another few months, when finally after a key victory in Linz, the NSDAP was beaten back and several of its members were captured and executed. However, the war left thousands nearly millions dead, and Europe was war-torn and battered to an amount not seen since the Thirty Years Francis. The NSDAP would return in a short sum of 18 years when Grem Grems had called the Second Vatican Council.
