Red Flood

1905: Russia wins a costly victory over Japan. 1911: the Tsar is assassinated. 1913: Russian intervention in the Balkans drags Europe into a Great War of industrial slaughter. By 1919, the red flag flies over Berlin. In Fiume, Italian nationalists seized control and gave a chaotic new ideology — a blend of political futurism, revolutionary nationalism, and modernist disruption that critics first called accelerationism — a place to take root. Now it is 1936. France has fallen to accelerationism. A fragile balance between socialists, accelerationists, and the old guard holds in Western Europe — barely. Russia sits on a throne of bayonets. The Intermarium braces for a storm. Across the ocean, continent-spanning powers face instability for the first time. In Asia, fallen empires have made everything possible again. History is about to turn. Where it turns is up to you.
