UK Jan-Apr 1918

- There are major crackdowns on communist rings throughout the UK. In one incident in Stratford, a shootout occurs before the communists burn their documents and attempt to flee. Other raids are more successful, with documents seized and several prominent politicians incriminated.

- Operation Nelson is started, opening with heavy shelling of Ponce and defences on the southern side of Puerto Rico. A landing of British and Imperial forces are then deployed, and quickly forces take most of Puerto Rico south of the central mountain range. The Royal Navy heavily shells American ships in San Juan harbour, and in April Royal Marine forces carry out a second landing at Humacao to bypass the American lines.

- British forces counter attack from their defences at Belmopan, and in fierce fighting they push back east back to the coast. From Ambergris Caye to Turneffe Atoll, the Royal Navy installs a blockade to cut off American forces at Belize City.

- Fighting in Newfoundland is brutal, as FloweyFan said. He doesn't seem to have realised there was a major landing on the island though. But anyway, the fighting continues, concentrated around the area of Clarenville, and further north at Lewisporte and Gander.

- Shelling of American shore defences preludes landings along the eastern coast of Nova Scotia. Imperial forces that land on either side of Dartmouth meet up and soon take the city. In other areas of the island there is fighting at Sherbrooke and Yarmouth. A smaller landing force arrives to take Cape Breton Island. A push inland is aided by the shipment of Mark V tanks to the invading forces.

- Operating from aircraft carriers, bombing campaigns are carried out on cities such as Houston and Orlando, whilst battleships bombard American south coast ports.
