Knock on the Soviet's front door in Eastern Europe. Players choose between British, French and German Allies. The battle ends with an attack across the Russian border at a major Soviet outpost. Difficulty is EASY.|Campaign briefing}}
The '''European Theater campaign''' is the second cooperative campaign in ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2]]''.

== Mission 1 ==
{{quote|
Strike a blow for freedom, your forces are in Romania, destroy all Soviet forces.|Mission briefing}}
{{quote|
Eastern Europe: While the Soviets were striking against America, the Europeans remained silent. When the Soviets [[Last Chance|nuked Chicago]], the Europeans prayed the war would not come to their shores, but when the Soviets [[City of Lights|attacked Paris]], even the most cautious commander knew that the time had come for war. It was a combined French and German force that struck the first blow into Eastern Europe, led by the most aggressive European commanders on the continent.|Commander's Log}}

== Mission 2 ==
{{quote|
The Soviets have counterattacked into Germany. You must hold the line.|Mission briefing}}
{{quote|
Eastern Europe: Despite their initial success, the Allies soon found themselves surrounded on all sides by entrenched Soviet forces. Soviet units quickly cut off any chance of retreat in Romania and the Allied expeditionary force was forced to fight their way back to friendly battle lines.|Commander's Log}}

== Mission 3 ==
{{quote|
You have been ordered to seize control of the Black Sea and her harbors.|Mission briefing}}
{{quote|
Romania: As weeks stretched into months, the Allies tired as Europe was once again a grim battleground for the most powerful nations on earth. Eager to take the battle to the enemy, the Allies sent their best commanders into the Mediterranean to seize control of vital island strongholds and prepare large fleets for an attack into the Black Sea.|Commander's Log}}

== Mission 4 ==
{{quote|
In a surprise attack, your forces have been sent into Poland. Crush the unprepared Soviets.|Mission briefing}}
{{quote|
Poland: With the Soviets distracted by a major amphibious landing on their own shores, Allied forces seized the opportunity to make a major armored attack into Poland. In the 4th month the Allies lead their forces across the Rhine at the dead of night in the middle of winter, taking the Soviet bases completely by surprise.|Commander's Log}}

== Mission 5 ==
{{quote|
The drive into Russia has begun. Your forces are in the Ukraine and face a desperate Red Army.|Mission briefing}}
{{quote|
Ukraine, Soviet Union: With most of Europe still weak from battle, two European commanders took it upon themselves to put an end to the war in Europe by striking against the main Soviet Headquarters inside the Russian border. Without authorization or approval from their governments, these commanders gathered what forces remained and struck what they hoped would be a final blow.|Commander's Log}}
