Historically Fascism in america was actually fairly popular before WW2 and was supported by around 1/2 the total populace. You have to remember this was the time when groups like the KKK were near the height of their power, The US was in the worst depression in its history, and meanwhile Germany a country that not a few years prior was impoverished was now making great strides forward economically, scientifically, mechanically... etc... All of this along with the image of Hitler's movement from the Olympic games shortly before the start of the war led many to believe perhaps it was time for a change in the US... Of course after Pearl Harbor such notions quickly died out for obvious reasons, and haven't been popular since.
Enforce Fascism in the Americas whether by imperialism or coups over turn Canada Brazil Mexico whatever it may be just I still Fascism into North and South America
Drew the Silver League was a real Nazi party in 1938 they held a rally in New York City, the stage had American flags, Swastikas, and a portrait of George Washington. Thank you for playing this.
I want this game REALLY badly, but I'm holding back because what I believe would happen is I wouldn't be able to understand it and eventually quit because I can't do anything. Nah, I'm sure I'll learn, but I might quit before that and therefore not get the full experience of the game.
It's a boring start? You really can't do anything? You can build infrastructure, factories and technology for a few years. It's the dream scenario. What are you talking about, "It's a boring start"? It's FANTASTIC!
I have never played a heart of iron 4 game but if he joins the AXIS as USA wont that give the axis a very powerful advantage since it has one of the world's millitary powerhouses? Or was america's Military weaker in 1936? Because the way i see it the game will be very easy for Drew.
America was very powerful economically, however its military was actually quite weak, and America followed 'Isolationism' which meant that they refused to engage in European and Global politics, and during the great depression, they were okay, but had nobody to trade with as everyone was poor/struggling.
+Zhedox America has been a global power since about the Spanish-American war. It was isolationist and had a pitiful army but its economy (even during the depression) was the most powerful one in the world. The US economically destroyed the Japanese even before formal war began, signaling the amount of power the US wielded. It became the most powerful nation on earth militarily around 1943-44. It's even more powerful competitively now since during the 50's, the soviets were an effective counterweight, but now there are no soviets, leaving the US alone with superpower status. China couldn't feasibly catch up for about another 50-75 years because they don't have a mil-industrial complex, and likely they don't want to have one, leaving the US likely to maintain dominance throughout the 21st century.
Kurt Roundstone Oh sure, I don't doubt it. The U.S definitely is lucky in its location. Having The Great Lakes, The Mississippi River, flat terrain, etc.
One time as the Reich I boosted support for my party in the US and succeeded in changing it to Fascism but the US was already at war with me so the Reich was actually at war with the fascist uSA. They beat the Reich.
the right tree is pretty useful, just dont choose the one that triggers the civil wars, do the others, its how i got a foothold in south america, one gives you a reason to war venezuela, others let you boost party popularity in other countries which is very useful for starting civil wars
I found this guide useful when playing with the Monarchy mod. The popularity gain was definitely faster but still fun to try out. All hail His Majesty Franklin Roosevelt! Lol
Fascist America hey... this sounds like it could be a cool campaign, although I was hoping that this was gonna be an "Operation Unthinkable" run... maybe next time though :)
The one time I played as axis america i took out canada and by the time i finished with that (I was a noob at the time) germany had already basically lost like dday had happened and they were being pushed back ... it was sad
hi drew love ure vids,can u pls play as croatia?i dont see any youtubers play as croatia, you just need to start up with yugoslavia and then use cheat-tag cro thanks :)
this is actually the first thing I did when I played the game. though I did it on recruit (not very familiar with the game), I was able to do it without a civil war. so that was nice ;3
This is my first time playing this game and I'm trying to keep up with you but what I don't understand is how do I get man power? I'm trying to change my conscription laws but I can't change out of them because of "does not have economy law undisturbed isolation"
11:00 If you go fascist then the policies that boost democracy in the americas turn to fascist support. You also get 150 political power for each of them too so they are super usefull if you are switching ideologies
I LOVE playing as Democratic USA. Am I the only one? The fact that you can just sit back until at least 40 or 41 and just build up to ridiculous strength and join the war with no threat of anybody invading you... I love it.
you can have elections, coups or civil war depending on the situation ts best to have the election and with that better to go with the younger generations because you will get more support and get the country isntantly pretty much
You can flip major countries without a civil war. I did it a few days ago with Great Britain. Also, why are you saying you don't want to grab up national focuses after WPA? It doesn't cost anything to do it lol
If he needed his political power for other things then national focuses might not be something you'd want to pursue given that the USA has a horrible power generation rate before the end of the Great Depression.
idk if it was the difficulty i was on, recruit, but i had the peaceful coup, i just tried to choose the options in events where it seemed like it would increase support, then support got high enough, but I do know Ireland had a peaceful fascist coup as well, i boosted fascist support and when it got high enough it flipped, for the soviets and brits i supported rebellions, the fascist UK rebellion got stomped immediately, but the ussr one triggered right when they declared on Japan starting WWIII during WWII, basically the comintern vs the axis while the axis where crushing the allies, and that rebellion is doing very well and is now part of the axis PS: I chose younger generation, that seemed to be less likely for rebellion to me, seemed like more people would want fascism that way
well the two most overpowered countries joining forces... axis becomes broken with america's industrial machine and especially the reasorces. now germanuy can make as many tanks and planes as they like.
Would it be possible to do this: 1. Turn the USA fascist 2. Annex the Americas INCLUDING Canada and all European possessions 3. Make peace with the Allies 4. Turn the USA democratic 5. Join the Allies ? I'm going to try to find out.

Perhaps we made a mistake by turning from fascism
Albert Speer there's no mistake from turning away from radical socialism.
The Damned Fascism isn’t... “radical socialism” what?
@MyNames Hashim what are you talking about its exactly "radical socialism"
Problems I’ve never heard of that term before, and he would be referring to Nazis, “National Socialists”, not fascism.
Instead of a civil war can't there be a referundum?
Yeah there can be think it takes slightly longer then going with civil war tho
And a referendum you get :D
100th like lol
Enforce Fascism in the Americas whether by imperialism or coups over turn Canada Brazil Mexico whatever it may be just I still Fascism into North and South America
I'd like to see a giant faction formed out of the americas, thatd be cool.
Thanks, Drew.
I'm actually grateful of your videos because i bought Hearts of Iron 4 recently and didn't know how to play it other than the basics.

Really neat idea, I am doing the same only with britain, great video
I normally don´t care about any U.S walkthroughs for any games, but I know I will love this one.
It's so weird watching him actually play the game

You should have taken the Silent Workhorse advisor for 15% political power gain after the Facist Demagogue
I really hope you continue your ai only world war 1 series!
I did this without a civil war and it all went to waste when I was invaded by Canada unknowingly. Now I have to start it over.
I love prediction games with alternate future election results!
I want this game REALLY badly, but I'm holding back because what I believe would happen is I wouldn't be able to understand it and eventually quit because I can't do anything.

America became a superpower at the beggining of the Cold War. The 1950's is considered to be an American golden age.

I know this comment section is about history, but there aren’t multiple hearts of iron 4 games, hoi4 is its own game as there is also hoi3, hoi2, etc.

you can have elections, coups or civil war depending on the situation ts best to have the election and with that better to go with the younger generations because you will get more support and get the country isntantly pretty much
