·         Austria joins NATO.

1948:

·         Czechia and Italy joins NATO.

·         A bomb explodes in a government building in Warsaw, causing the roof of the mall to collapse and killing over 100 people. The Polish resistance group “Antysowiecki” is blamed for the attack with little to no evidence. A swift trial is carried out, resulting in the entirety of the group’s leadership being sentenced to death.

1949:

·         A revolution  starts in Transylvania. A pro-Hungarian government is put in place. The USSR sends some of their army to deal with the uprising.

·         Transylvania holds their ground, mostly due to the region’s mountainous geography and organized defence.

·         Poland reaches its breaking point as a demonstration in Gdansk is met with Soviet bullets. Rebels rise up in all major cities of western Poland and parts of the polish countryside. Some eastern polish cities follow suit.

·         Demonstrations in the streets of the major Russian cities, where many of the participants have personal connections with one or more of the soldiers trapped in southern Poland/Slovakia, forces the Soviet government to accept.

·         In the Lwow Peace treaty, it is decided that the Soviet Union will accept the secession of the Slovak and western Polish states and recognize them as sovereign nations, in exchange for the extradition of the trapped Soviet forces in Poland and Slovakia.

·         After the treaties, the USSR decides to end the war against Transylvania, but refuses to recognize them as a nation.
