The Central European War of 2009 began with the Swedish invasion of Germany on May 18. Poland also joined in on the invasion and the two attackers had overrun Germany by June 7. On June 10, Hungary, which was already at war with Poland, declared war on Sweden along with France. Italy declared war on Poland as well.
Background
On May 18, Sweden invaded Germany and was joined by Poland. Germany had fallen by June 7. PEACE countries felt threatened because Sweden and Poland would have bordered PEACE countries like Netherlands, France and Italy. Because of this, Hungary, Italy, and France began the conflict by declaring war on Sweden and Poland.
Fronts
Southern Front
Hungary advanced through Upper and Lower Austria (ceded by Italy in a war initiated by Austria) and conquered Bavaria from Sweden on June 11. Italy defeated Poland in Baden-Wurttemberg. Saxony had been returned to Germany by a resistance war started by the Polish government, but was given to Hungary so that they could access Brandenburg and Berlin, the only Polish region with high grain resources. Hungary defeated Sweden in Hesse and moved on to attack Brandenburg and Berlin. Bavaria was handed to Austria and then to Italy, still advancing against the Poles.
Western Front
Sweden released Saarland as a "goodwill gesture" to Germany, and then started a resistance war in Rhineland-Palatinate to block their border with France. When they failed to release the region, France attacked Rhineland-Palatinate on June 11. France then advanced through North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony and Bremen.
Jutland Front
After conquering Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, Hungary attacked Syddanmark on June 15th, wide-spreading the war into the Jutland Peninsula. Later, Hungary attacked and successfully conquered Midtjylland and Nordjylland, making the Jutland Peninsula Hungary territories. Later, these regions, excluding Nordjylland, were given to Germany.
Results
Sweden and Poland lost all German territories including Brandenburg and Berlin, a high grain region (Polish one), Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, high grain too (Swedish one). In addition, Sweden lost its Danish regions to Hungary, which were later conquered by Germany.
