Across a decade.

Description

So here it is. The thing I have been working on on and off for the past few months. This is my entry for the :iconaphetalia-club: 1920s Historical contest. I'm not sure if I'm totally satisfied with the composition, but I do think I've gotten better about coloring while doing this. I started with Egypt and ended with oh, Turkey and Italy I think. Yay for excessive use of textures and gradients! Also: SO MUCH REFERENCE. *^*

Now, for the historical part. The idea was to depict historical event(s) of the 1920s using Hetalia characters; I couldn't decide on one thing so I did AS MANY AS POSSIBLE. XD In order, from left-right:

~Turkey: The Turkish War of Independence. [link]
~Egypt: officially becomes a free state in 1922. [link]
~Germany: the rise of Nazism and Hitler as a result of the desperate economic crisis post-WWI.
~America: The Jazz Age. Plus a gratuitous flapper girl.
~China: The Chinese Civil War begins in 1927. [link]
~Italy: Mussolini becomes Prime Minister and ushers in the reign of the National Fascist Party. [link]
~Poland, USSR, Ukraine: The Polish-Soviet War. USSR v. Poland with Ukraine split in the middle. [link]

These are just supposed to be snapshot representations of the decade in each area. I will say that I am excessively proud of Turkey and China; they probably were my favorite to do. I apologize to any saxophone players out there for any wrongs I have done your wonderful instrument. :XD:

Why is America the only one partying? >.>

Does this need a filter on it for the Nazi symbol? Lemme know if you think it does.
