Brief Description

The British Fascist Union is an alternative history-based nation, set in the Modern Tech world of NationStates. In this alternative timeline, the British Union of Fascists won the 1935 General Election and consequently, with Oswald Mosley as Prime Minister, signed a Non-Aggression Pact with the Third Reich, so the newly-formed British Fascist Union never entered the Second World War and remained neutral.

Geographical Information

Western Europe, islands including the northern one-sixth of the island of Ireland between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, northwest of France. Climate is temperate; moderated by prevailing southwest winds over the North Atlantic Current; more than one-half of the days are overcast. Terrain features mostly rugged hills and low mountains; level to rolling plains in east and southeast. Natural resources availiable are coal, petroleum, natural gas, iron ore, lead, zinc, gold, tin, limestone, salt, clay, chalk, gypsum, potash, silica sand, slate and arable land.

Historical Background

The history of the British Isles is long and varied, so this article will focus primarily on the events post-1935, where the timeline alternates from Real World history.

The 1930s was a time that saw the uprising of Fascism across Europe. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany at the head of the National Socialist German Workers Party and quickly began turning Germany into a One-Party Dictatorship.
