Europe 
Turkey:
During 1936 Turkey resumes control of the areas on either side of the 
Dardanelles (previously de-militarised at the end of the First World War). 
Ireland:
In 1937 the Irish Free State renames itself Eire and begins to 
negotiate its dominion status. 
Austria:
In 1938, following pressure from Germany to admit Nazi Party 
members into the government, the government in Austria collapses. Germany 
absorbs Austria into the Third Reich - the 'Anschluss'. 
Czechoslovakia:
Czechoslovakia is forced to cede Sudetenland to Germany as 
part of the 1938 Munich agreement. This is due to intense pressure from 
Germany, the threat of war, and the failure of Britain and France to oppose 
German aggression. 
Memel:
In 1939, although nominally an autonomous region of Lithuania, 
Memel is annexed by Germany. 
Albania:
In 1939 Italy invades and annexes Albania.

Geopolitical changes from 1939 to 1945 
The Second World War put pressure on old colonial powers in the Far East. 
Japan overran British, French and Dutch Empire territory. In the aftermath of 
war Germany was partitioned, Japan lost its Empire, and Eastern Europe fell 
under Communist control. An ideological partition of much of the world was 
imminent. 
Africa and the Middle East 
Italian East Africa:
In 1941 the British expel Italy from Italian East Africa. 
Eritrea and Ethiopia become part of a federated government. 
Libya:
In 1943 British and Imperial troops expel Italian and German forces. 
Tripolitania and Cyrenaica are governed by Britain and France governs the 
Fezzen region. 
Lebanon:
In 1943, following fighting between the Vichy French authorities 
controlling the region and Britain and its Allies, Lebanon, (supported by 
Britain) declares itself independent from France.
