On the 20th of July, 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg planted a briefcase filled with explosives in the Wolf's Lair. The bomb didn't kill Hitler, but Wehrmacht forces successfully captured him and many others who were injured by the blast. As this happened, Wehrmacht forces began rising up across cities in Germany, ordering strikes to counter the war effort and arresting Hitler loyalists. The coup was considered successful on the 19th August. Von Stauffenberg was sworn in as provisional Fuhrer of Germany, with allied and Soviet forces marching in, he met with allied representatives to negotiate a ceasefire, involving German troops pulling out of the Low Countries, France, Denmark and Norway. This ceasefire was accepted, as plans for a meeting between the Allied Forces, the Soviet Union and Germany to negotiate the terms of surrender were put into place. On the 15th of October 1944, Germany formally surrendered, renouncing most of the territory she had captured in the war. Germany remained in control of the Danzig Corridor, East Prussia, Austria, Slovenia and the Sudetenland, everything else reverted to pre-war borders. Chancellor von Stauffenberg, General Secretary Stalin, President Roosevelt, Chairman de Gaulle and Prime Minister Churchill declared Pax Europaea, however the five of them knew in secret, a third war was on the horizon. The Untied States dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan on Christmas Day 1945, levelling Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Tokyo. On New Years Day 1945, Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Hess, Joseph Goebbels and many other leading NSDAP and SS officials were executed by firing squad. 1945 was to begin a new age of peace. By 1950, this age of peace had ended. Tensions were rising between the Moscow Pact (USSR and allies), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (the Allies), and the Montreux Conference (Germany and her allies). The world was entering a new decade, one of turbulence, but also of peace. There was little chance war would break out within the next few years, as nations from around the world continued to rebuild from the devastation caused by the Second Great War.
