One night after the war ended, peace returned to the other side of the globe. The fear of escalation to world war was gone. Even though in one night America had suffered losses of more than 10 sea vessels and approximately the deaths of over 300,000 civilians, it was a small loss when compared to a world war.
Besides America, other nations had suffered so little casualties that it could be said that they did not suffer at all. Now that America had "abdicated" the throne to the world, other little nations that were once under the great nation of freedom had started to treat them differently.
In one night, China rose to the top in terms of power. All nations had immediately started to organize the best diplomatic group in order to play on China's good side.
