Eastern Conflict is a Hearts of Iron 4 mod about 1991, when, after the start of democratic reforms in the Soviet Union, its people, who had been isolated from the rest of the world for decades, began to demand freedom. At the same time, Germany, which had reunified just a year earlier, was going through difficult times. Although it seemed that the German people were united again, their society was still divided. East Germany, which had previously been under the GDR, supported the ideas of communism and socialism, while the west supported democratic ideas. At that time, the US had become the world's number one country. Its foreign policy can be described as “global policing”. At the beginning of 1991, the US was already preparing to liberate Kuwait from occupation by Iraq, which had occupied it at the end of 1990.
