History
The Socialist history is long and complicated, laced with blood and destruction. Rising from a small political party, they have now become the most powerful faction on the planet.

The Coup
Seizing control of the government, the Socialists quickly brought order to the country, and brought their leader, an arcane political puppet master who was, and still is, only known as the Imperator.
The Ascension
By 3 A.C, England had become the most dominant country in the region under the leadership of the Imperator. The Imperator then put his plan for regional domination in action. Easily winning the support of the English people, the Socialists launched invasions into France and their neighbor, Ireland. Many other powerful nations, such as Russia, China, and the United States (which was now crumbling under the stress of governmental corruption and a economic landslide) opposed this unforseen attack, trying unsuccesfully to put the failing U.N to work against the radical England. However, as the bureaucracy of the other powers continued, England continued to drive a sharp pike into Western Europe, quickly decimating the French and Spanish armies in a blitzkrieg war. Germany decided to collaberate with England, a move that would prove fatal to non- Socialist Europe. England was caught off guard by the heavy resistance in Ireland and the unbelievable casualities they would suffer in campaigns there. England decided to stop reinforcing armies on the island, causing the Irish to destroy the English presence on the island. By 350 DA, the F.D.A coup had taken place in the United States, reforming their posistion as a major power. However, by this time, it was too late. The Socialists had taken control of all of Europe except for Ireland and Scandinavia, which had been reinforced by their Icelandic allies.
