The Tensions had begun in the past century between the four main Colonial powers in Europe, the United Kingdom of Britain and North America, New France (Albany Congress), the Ottoman Empire and the German Colonial Empire. Many landmarks had been targeted, for example the Arc De Triomphe in Paris has been hit multiple times by bombs as well as the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Due to this both countries have begun to close their countries to each other and so tensions have risen rapidly. All four countries have begun to prepare themselves for the inevitable world war.
