Naturally, a scant few years after Europe's Great War settled, a new threat emerged and began causing trouble after taking control of one of their nations  - and for the second time, in the end, it was Austria's fault. This might have led to what would merely have been a terrible war, but with the detonation of an atomic device in Warsaw during the opening states of the eastward blitzkreig, it led to one that was even more horrific that drew in virtually every European nation, their allies, and their colonies.

Fits were thrown about my nation refusing to be drawn into yet another conflict that was apparently Europe's fault, until it was pointed out that we too had atomic weapons, that we not going to let them take control of our resources, and that we were more than ready to go completely scorched earth to prevent such actions from being taken. "They're madmen," politicians on both sides mumbled, and did the only rational thing: systemically destroyed every European capitol and most major cities with a series of twenty to fifty kiloton atomic bombs.

Meanwhile in the Pacific theater, an attempted sneak attack was largely unsuccessful and Japan was very thoroughly disabused of their notion of superiority; the Republic of China stopped the red revolution in its tracks, and after Japan was stomped flat, the nations of North America sent massive amounts of material to Europe to help rebuild and rearm. That is, after the war ended, a bomb dropped directly onto a German bunker containing the last of their leadership in 1945 killing the man who instigated the whole fit of insanity.
