Atlantic Islands: Nov 1, 1941 The islands scattered across the Atlantic—such as the Azores, Canary Islands, and Bermuda—hold strategic value for both the Allies and the Axis powers. The Azores, controlled by Portugal, are a key refueling stop for Allied convoys crossing the Atlantic, helping protect vital supply lines. The Canary Islands, under Spain’s control, are closely monitored by both sides, as Spain maintains its neutrality but leans towards Axis sympathies. Bermuda, a British territory, is heavily fortified, serving as a hub for British and American naval operations in the Atlantic, crucial for protecting against German U-boat threats. The MTC has a hidden presence on one of the smaller islands, using its remoteness to experiment with Martian tech away from prying eyes. Key Story Hooks: Naval operations, refueling and supply chain protection, covert Martian tech research, political tensions over Spanish neutrality, U-boat defense.
