WORLD WAR II

The Treaty of Paris turns out to be a "twenty-year armistice" as German ambitions lead to another global war.  With early victories that lead to Nazi domination over most of Europe, surprise attacks against the Soviet Union and the United States soon turn the tide and lead to the end of Europe's (and the world's) worst war in history.
