==Synopsis==
[[File:SW 1965.png|thumb|685x685px|Major proxy conflicts during 1940-1965]]
From 1940-1950, the world witnessed numerous proxy conflicts and political shifts, such as the Russian reorganization of Alyeska into an autonomous National Republic, the [[Peru#The Lima-Belém Conspiracy|Lima-Belem conspiracy]] in South America, and the founding of the [[International Republican Coalition]]. With the British Empire and Russia vying for influence worldwide, regions like central Europe, Asia, and Africa experienced unrest and power struggles. The [[Organization of Democratic Nations]] was formed in response to the IRC, and [[Minor organizations or factions in the Silent War|minor alliances such as the Pacific Rim Security Treaty]] were established. The decade also saw the rise of decolonization movements, culminating in the Indian War of Independence from the National Republic of [[Jambu]] and various African nations being granted independence from Britain.

From 1950 to 1965, the Silent War saw the establishment of new alliances, decolonization, and proxy wars. The [[Association of North American Nations|Association of North American Nations (ANAN)]] was founded to promote regional cooperation in North America, while Genoa and Corsica underwent revolutions. Decolonization efforts resulted in the creation of multiple new states, including the Dominion of the East Indies and the Sultanate of Dar Runga. Conflicts such as the [[Numidian-Algerian War]] War, the Russo-Persian War, and the Austrian Civil War highlighted the ongoing power struggles between Britain and Russia, with their respective allies taking sides. Additionally, Japan's Dirty War saw the repression of National Republicans and the rise of the Emperor's popularity.
The 1960s and 1970s saw a string of nuclear disasters around the world, such as the Krasnoyarsk Meltdown (1958) in Russia and the Bradwell-on-Sea Meltdown (1967) in England, and especially the Kemo Nuclear Disaster in Corea (1971), which impacted not only Corea, but also its neighbors, triggering to the [[Great Nuclear Scare]]. This subsequently led to the [[1970s Global Oil Crisis]], which saw increased oil prices. The situation was exacerbated when several Near Eastern nations with anti-British inclinations nationalized their oil industries and formed the Eastern Joint Development Organization (EJDO), challenging Britain's economic and political dominance.

==== The Russian Lustrum (1973-1978) ====
{{Main|Russian Lustrum}}
Tensions between Russia and the Organization of Democratic Nations began to ease following the Russian Lustrum, a power struggle that ousted Chairman Ilya Kiselev, aiming to reform Russia and reduce global tensions, which were perceived to be exacerbated by Kiselev's policies. The power vacuum was initially filled by the Committee of National Affairs (CNA), but internal conflicts soon emerged within the CNA, notably between Sergey Gromov and Yevgeny Petrov. Ultimately, Gromov emerged victorious and steered Russia towards gradual democratization, actively seeking to improve relations with Britain.

Russia had ruled over the treaty ports of Idzu and Maizuru since the 19th century. During the Great War, Russia persuaded Japan to fight alongside them against Corea. In exchange, Russia promised to cede Idzu and Maizuru back to Japan. However, after victory was achieved in 1939, Russia reneged on their promises. Negotiations between the two nations stalled throughout the 1940s. Japan, tired of waiting, sought military means to seize control of the ports. In 1952, Japan launched a military operation to annex Idzu and Maizuru, much to Russia's chagrin. Russia was hesitant to launch a counter-attack since Britain had assured Japan's defense in the event of war. In the following years, a strong anti-National Republican sentiment would rise in Japan, leading to the Japanese Dirty War in 1957. National Republicans, even those only suspected, are arrested. Internment camps are established to detain Russians. Mass censorship ensues and state-sponsored terrorism grew rampant. Despite this, the Japanese Emperor’s popularity continues to grow.
