=Introduction= []

=Task= You are the leader of a country either directly or indirectly involved with World War II as history knows it. However, you have been sent back in time to the very beginnings of World War II. You remember how World War II happened, but you realize that this is a different time variant of the same era. Your country is the same, but the diplomacy has changed. There is a World Summit meeting in Sidney, Australia and you have been invited. The only item on the agenda, the impending world war that is about to erupt. The sides of the war have yet to be drawn and it is up to you to make alliances, secret or open, that will be best for your country. Through diplomacy, back-stabbing, or intimidation, persuade other countries to join you or to be allowed to join them. Be sure to side with countries that give you the greatest chance of winning this war. First and foremost, a presentation on your country is needed to show the world what you are capable of. Be sure to create an engaging, multi-media presentation. Create a propaganda movie presentation to show your fellow world leaders. These medias should show the advantages of your country and why your nation would be a valuable ally. It could be abundant food, ammunition, productive factories, strong economy, large population, powerful military, technologically advanced, or any other factors that a good ally has. Good luck to all.

=Conclusion= For better or for worse, the world has been changed by your actions. Through diplomacy, historical knowledge, and military tactics, you have crushed your foes, gained the respect of your peers, and earned the love of your people. As you sit and reflect on all that you have accomplished in these short years, remember the lives of those who made made you great, and those you made great. Never never forget the knowledge you gained as world leader, and the world shall never forget you.
