Europe During the Second Cold War (The Pearl World)



Europe During the Second Cold War was the center of the conflict,  being home to two of the big countries involved. Europe itself served as the largest battleground, often times being the place where World War III would have erupted.

2020-2050: Beginnings
In 2020, the Eurasian Union became a country, with President Vladimir Putin solidifying power. The same year, the Ukraine war ended with Russia gaining control of the occupied sections Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts to form the Novorossyian Oblast, which would join the Eurasian Union as a Russian Province. Turkey and the Czech Republic would join the Collective Security Treaty Organization. while Finland and Sweden would join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In 2025, Eurasian President Mikhail Luchensky appeared in Prague, marking the first state visit to Europe.

Communist Party members in Ukraine would campaign for Russian leadership in their country. Ukraine's Communists threw their support behind Luchensky's government, even going as far as inviting him to speak at party events.

Ukraine saw itself divided, especially in Russian-Speaking areas, the pull to Eurasia was so strong, that Ukraine's Government banned Russian-Speaking Ukrainians from leaving the country, even declaring martial law in the Eastern half of the Country for more than a half a century.

In Germany, many Eastern residents supported Eurasia, but it wasn't on the same level

In 2030, Serbia began the Second Yugoslavic War, reclaiming all of the former Yugoslavia.
