* CivilWar: If a dissenting Ideology is powerful enough, it can stage an uprising to change the country's ideology.
** Furthermore, if a conquering country establishes a puppet state in the country it is conquering, the ''puppet'' will be the one conquering further territories in that country instead of the conqueror.

** Each country gets all the same units, with no differences in playstyle besides geography and infrastructure. No country gets any faction-specific buffs or debuffs.
** Each of the four in-game Ideologies are completely identical gameplay-wise, with no unique buffs or debuffs. Ideology basically only exists in-game to justify a victory condition where the ideology with the highest ranking wins.

''Making History'' is a series of [[TurnBasedStrategy Turn Based]] Grand Strategy games, set in World War II. Current installments in the series are:
* ''Making History: The Calm and the Storm''
* ''Making History: Gold''
* ''Making History II: The War of the World''
* ''Making History: The Great War'', which is currently in development, and is set around WWI.
These games allow you to take control of any of the nations of the era and rule as you see fit. While the main purpose of the game is to prepare your country and fight in WWII, the series is heavily open to AlternateHistory, and as such, each game can vary wildly.
While it does take place in that time frame (the earliest starting time on a scenario is early 1933, the latest is 1939), what actually ''happens'' in that time frame is largely up to you. While many nations will do what they historically did without your interference, timelines of games can range from ''very'' historical to StupidJetpackHitler. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from continuing a game for as long as you want past the usual end.
