When the Great Depression hit in 1929, Pacífica along with Texas were the only countries in North America that escaped most of the damage. This was due to the Economic Recovery Contingency Plans, or ERCPs, that were designed by former Prime Minister Steven von Herbenreich in the event the Pacífican Economy crashed. Even though relatively unscathed, the Pacífican Dollar’s value did decrease slightly. | When the Great Depression hit in 1929, Pacífica along with Texas were the only countries in North America that escaped most of the damage.

On September 1st, 1939, {{w|Nazi Germany}} invaded {{w|Poland}}, starting the Second World War. Like before, Pacífica announced its neutrality and stayed out of the war until December 1941, when [[Social Republic of Mexico (Disunited States)|Mexican]] forces launched a surprise attack on the Kingdom and [[Texan Republic|Texas]]. Mexican bombers bombed the military fort of St. Joseph in {{w|La Paz, Mexico|Gulfa}}. In response, Pacífica and Texas declared war on Mexico. The following day, Germany and Italy declared war on Pacífica and Texas, prompting the two to join the Allies. | |||

Although Mexico had the advantage after the surprise attacks, the joint Pacífican and Texan Army, led by General Steven Douglas of Texas and Commander Maxwell Peers of Pacífica, were able to break through Mexican border defenses and enter Mexico, starting the [[War in the Desert]]. Almost a month after invading Mexico, the [[Empire of Japan]] followed their allies and declared war on Pacífica and Texas. | |||

On February 15th, 1942, the Japanese Imperial Navy attacked {{w|Pearl Harbor}}, [[Hawaiian Islands|Hawaii]], destroying half of the Pacífican and Hawaiian navies. In the same month, Mexican bombers bombed Dayton, almost killing [[Francis I of Pacífica|Francis I and the royal family]]. Despite this, the Pacífican people stayed dedicated to the war effort, supporting the army by enlisting and building weapons of war. The tide of the War in the Desert turned when the joint Pacífican and Texan Army won the [[Battle of Torreón]] in late 1942, almost completely wiping out the Northern Mexican Army. This boosted the morale of the Pacífican and Texan soldiers, who were exhausted from losing. | |||
In early 1943, the joint Pacífican and Texan Army entered {{w|Mexico City}} starting the [[Battle of Mexico City]], which is considered the longest battle of Pacífican history. In June of 1943, a combined British, Pacífican, and Hawaiian fleet, confronted the Japanese Imperial Navy at the [[Battle of the Philippine Sea]] which resulted in the death of {{w|Isoroku Yamamoto}} and the destruction of the majority of the Japanese Imperial Army. From there, Pacífica with the assistance of other Allies, began a series of island-hopping campaigns, taking back islands lost to the Japanese earlier in the war. | |||
On March 1st, 1944, Mexican forces in Mexico City surrendered, ending the year long battle. A month later on April 3rd, Mexican leader [[Diego Castro]] signed the Mexican Instrument of Surrender, ending Mexican involvement in the war. By April 1945, the Allies had liberate a majority of conquered islands and planned to invade mainland Japan. In May of the same year, Germany surrendered, leaving Japan as the last Axis Power. After numerous predictions and simulations showed an invasion of Japan would be nearly impossible, the [[Dixie|American Republic]] dropped two nuclear bombs on {{w|Hiroshima}} and {{w|Nagasaki}}, which prompted Japan to surrender in September of 1945, ending the war. | |||
In the end, Pacífica annexed the Mexican state of Chihuahua and the rest of Sonora. The end of the war saw the {{w|Nuremberg Trials}} and the creation of the {{w|United Nations}}, which was created to prevent such a great loss of life again. | |||
