An array is empty when used in another file

Question

In my code I have two functions, Save and Load file, which operate on an array called Players. The array Players is defined in a second file, along with some other variables. Lastly, I have a main file with the main function.

In the main function, I call Load, which writes player names from a file into the array Players. When I then attempt to output the Players with cout, all of them are empty, even though between the call to Load and the cout statements in main, I do nothing.

When I print Players in the Load function, the names are printed as expected. So, seems that the contents of Players gets deleted when I use it in the main function.

The Load Function:

void Load() {
    std::string line;

    std::ifstream LoadStream;
    LoadStream.open(PlayersFilePath);

    if (LoadStream.is_open()) {
        for (int i = 0; i < MaxPlayers; i++) {
            std::getline(LoadStream, line);
            Players[i] = line;
        }

        return;
    }
    else {
        std::cout << Error1 << PlayersFilePath << std::endl;
        exit(0);
    }
}

Here is the Variable File with the Players Array:

#include <string>

using namespace std;

static const int MaxPlayers = 10;
static int ActivePlayers;
static int ActivePlayerIndex1, ActivePlayerIndex2, ActivePlayerIndex3, ActivePlayerIndex4, ActivePlayerIndex5, ActivePlayerIndex6, ActivePlayerIndex7, ActivePlayerIndex8, ActivePlayerIndex9, ActivePlayerIndex10;
static int counter;

static const string Error1 = "File could not be found or opened. File: ";
static const string Error2 = "Saving Error";
static const string PlayersFilePath = "C:\\Users\\Felix\\source\\repos\\ClassTraining\\Players.txt";

static string Players[MaxPlayers];

static const string German = "Deutsch";

static const string English = "English";

And here is the Main Function:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "Variables.cpp"
#include "SaveLoad.h"

int main() {
    Load();

    for (int i = 0; i < MaxPlayers; i++) {
        std::cout << Players[i] << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
