''The beating heart of the New World, and the great industrial colossus of the new age. The United States was late into the first World War, proposed the League of Nations but refused to join, and - still crawling out from the debris of the Great Depression - is hesitant to fall into the politics and conflicts of the old, decadent European powers.'' | ''The beating heart of the New World, and the great industrial colossus of the new age.

''The Third French Republic holds a colonial empire that stretches from the Caribbean to West Africa to Indochina - but the First World War and the Great Depression left deep scars at home. After years of recession and strikes and socialist governments grappling with ultra-nationalist trends at home and among her neighbors, the average French citizen probably hopped for nothing more from 1939 than peace and a return to normalcy.'' | ''The Third French Republic holds a colonial empire that stretches from the Caribbean to West Africa to Indochina - but the First World War and the Great Depression left deep scars at home.

''From the first World War to the humiliating Treaty of Versailles to the catastrophe of the Great Depression, the twentieth century has not been kind to Germany. In the turmoil, Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Party twisted the mechanisms of government to its own ends. The Third Reich now seeks the natural expansion it feels it was denied by its rivals, and has annexed or seized most of German-speaking Europe. It shows no signs of slowing down - and the first dark hints of its plans for the people it considers undesirable are already evident - but to the average German, this is a time of triumph and renewal.'' | ''From the first World War to the humiliating Treaty of Versailles to the catastrophe of the Great Depression, the twentieth century has not been kind to Germany.

''Still feeling the scars of the first World War and alarmed by the rise of Soviet Communism in the east, in 1922 King Victor Emmanuele III of Italy turned control of the state over to Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party - and this sparked decades of political domination at home and conquest abroad, from the Balkans to East Africa. Now allied with Germany and Japan, Fascist Italy dreams of a new age of empires - and woe to whoever objects.'' | ''Still feeling the scars of the first World War and alarmed by the rise of Soviet Communism in the east, in 1922 King Victor Emmanuele III of Italy turned control of the state over to Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party - and this sparked decades of political domination at home and conquest abroad, from the Balkans to East Africa.

''The people of the Russian Empire ended centuries of tsarist misrule and abuse in bloody revolution - and in 1922 they set about turning that revolution into a utopia. It would be an example for all the world, and the cornerstone of a global society that would recognize the dignity of the masses and ensure equality and justice for everyone who lived in its embrace.'' | ''The people of the Russian Empire ended centuries of tsarist misrule and abuse in bloody revolution - and in 1922 they set about turning that revolution into a utopia.
