The Communist Party gets many Nazi protest votes among working-class Germans. The Reds take 89 seats in the Reichstag. The Nationalists also pick up Nazi support. The NSDAP itself, weakened by a power struggle between Goebbels and Hess, splits into rival factions. Hess's group becomes the National Socialist Reich Party, while Goebbels leads the National Socialist Labor Party. The former emphasizes the racist aspects of Hitlerism, the latter the socialism of it. Neither does well, but Goebbels garners enough to keep Reichstag membership, while Hess is left out. Center also gains seats. The Social Democrats lose much backing to the Communists.

In what will be remembered as the darkest day in American history, terrorists launch a major attack on the United States. In the mid-morning hours, the terrorists hijack two eastbound planes in Chicago and three westbound planes out of Boston's Logan Airport. At 10:18, the first of the planes slams into the lower floors of the Sears Tower, which is already full of people at work. Almost an hour later, two planes crash into both towers of the World Trade Center, which was already undergoing a limited evacuation due to the attack in Chicago. President Bush, on vacation in Texas is alerted to the attacks and puts the military on alert. It's too late though as at 11:45, the third hijacked plane is crashed into Independence Hall in downtown Philadelphia. The force of the crash is so great that nearby buildings are damaged to the point that they'll collapse before the day is out.
At 12:34, the Sears Tower collapses, killing everyone inside and the 2000+ Chicago firefighters trying to fight the fire. Five minutes later, the fifth plane, eastbound from Chicago and largely forgotten, slams into the Capitol Building. Fortunately, Congress had been evacuated after the attack on the World Trade Center. The Capitol collapses immediately, having no internal structural support, destroying over 200 years of history.
America, thinking that the attacks are over, are shocked as, on live TV, a truck explodes right outside the National Archives building, killing over 200 and destroying the important documents inside, including the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Almost immediately, another truck explodes outside of the State Department, collapsing the structure.
At 1:15, the North Tower of the WTC collapses, killing over 15,000. Ten minutes later, the South Tower collapses, killing over 18,000, including the New York firefighters valiantly fighting the blaze.
Nearly 50,000 people have died in the attacks and reports are that Secretary of State Colin Powell is missing and Vice President Cheney, in Washington to break a tie in the Senate, is presumed dead. President Bush wants to get to Washington to boost the already crushed morale of the nation, but the Secret Service, fearful of more attacks, forces the President into hiding.
The last attack of the evening occurs when a bomb left in a truck detonates outside the Federal Reserve Bank in mid-town Manhattan. While the attack neither harms or kills anyone, it destroys enough funds to cause an economic recession.

The British are defeated in a battle off the shores of Spain. The rag tag American ships were chased by the British. They were outnumbered two to one. What the British did not know was that the Spanish were waiting to see their performance. The overdisciplined Americans ripped the British apart. The Spaniards intervened to keep the British from being killed so close to their shore. The Americans ceased fire when the Spanish sailed in, with a white flag. The British and Americans were informed that this was a violation of Spain's territory and that both must take their ships and leave.
The British admiral rudely declares that before they can leave, the rebels must get off four of the ships they boarded. With a smile of contempt the British admiral is told that seeing as how the 'REBEL' flag is over what he calls his ships they depart with them. The Americans quickly run up their flags on those ships bringing down the British flag. The Spanish crews are laughing.
The spanish ambassador tells the British, when asked why Spain did this: "First and foremost Britian has declared this an internal matter, we are not to become involved per Britians request. Second this being the case, with no other treaties stating Spain's agreed behavior, we made the ships depart Spain's waters. Ownership we also can't recognise, this being an "INTERNAL" matter. They all belong to Britian in Spain's view. Unless of course Britian is requesting aid in dealing with an entirely internal matter..." Britian walks away with out a single noise. To do so would bring in the other nations on the rebellions side. Spain orders troops moved up to the border with the colonies, in Floridia.

-In the Baltic states civil unrest is threatening but finds no outlet due to the lack of proper leadership.
-The riots in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic have been subdued but negotiations are failing. Civilwar is a serious threat.
-In Ukraine the RUKH (Popular Movement of the Ukraine) demands independence.
-there are murmurs of discontent among the coalminers in Vorkutka, Karaganda and Siberia, where strikes are threatening.
As a precaution two corps of the Red army, containing mostly Ukrainian recruits are redeployed to the vicinity of Irkutsk, ostensibly for participation in operation "Spring break" a huge military exercise designed to teach urban warfare. These troops, will be replaced by two corps reassigned from Afghanistan. The thought is that this will prevent the ukrainan soldiers from taking part in a possible uprising and also to have non-ukrainan forces present if riotcontrol need military assistance. The KGB is authorised to seek out and exterminate suspected terrorists operating in the Ukraine, RUKH is added to the KGB:s list of terrorist organisations.
The coalminers will be paid backwages partly in natura, with the proceeds from nearby statefarms and partly with the help of foreign currency reserves. If problems persist they may be recruited into the Army or sacked and replaced with willing chinese labor.
As for the Baltic region and Georgia, premier Kerenko, in a radio speech urges patience until the planned reforms of the Supreme Soviet have been implemented.

Braves owner Perini asks the other seven National League owners to rescind their approval of his move to Milwaukee and rejoin the National Agreement so that the league will be able to operate for the season and to prevent the cancellation of both the All-Star Game and World Series. Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley and Giants owner Horace Stoneham agree with Perini and reverse their votes of March 18, as well as their votes for March 29. The remaining owners reluctantly follow suit and President Giles sends word to Commissioner Frick that the NL is willing to rejoin the National Agreement, provided the Braves be allowed to relocate in 1954. Commissioner Frick agrees to this and the 1953 season, at least for the National League, is saved.

Federation and Alliance forces note this and a de facto cease fire arises, with one Federation officer actually ordering his soldiers to cease offensive fire for the duration of the spacecraft's presence. Alliance officers give the same orders, creating an eerie cease fire along the entire Berlin line that the Alliance uses to fortify its tenuous positions. After 95 minutes of quiet peace, the Vegan craft begins moving around the front, but the effect is mirrored all the way to Vienna. Just before 4pm GMT, the spacecraft flies off into higher orbit and is noted to leave the planet's atmosphere.

Brunei's first step after the BSA is formed is to create a strong science program that will study space and other forms of science. With hope, the people of Brunei believe that a rocket carrying a stallite from Brunei will be launched within 10 years. Questions are raised about the science program, as Brunei is a deeply Islamic nation. Eventually, the religous council and the rest of the government feel that the project is worth the investment and does not go against Islamic laws too much, though the BSA is under close scrutiny. The funding for this project comes straight from the sultan and the oil profits of the country. However, the program puts great pressure on the economy of the nation. Since the country doesn't have a great deal of scientific resources available, many scientists are brought in from other countries to work on the program. As well, hundreds of boys from Brunei are sent to other countries in order to be educated for the countrie's ambitions.

New Spanish elections are held. But now, the Communists have the upper hand. Communism is now seen as acceptable, since it was the Soviet Union that aided Spain. Plus, with the country so crippled by debt and war, the Communist system seems preferable to the capitalist system. The Communists also wage an effective propaganda campaign portraying themselves as 'The Conquerer of the Facists.' And the last overriding reason, is intimidation. Trotsky orders the NKVD troops in Spain to begin terrorising non-Communists.
