The Revolt of the Guards -A UK 34 Mod AAR

Millah: Glad someone liked it.
Somua53: Thanks.

With the Far East under greater threat, and lack of resources apparent, Britain saw no choice but to create the Royal Indian Navy when it was suggested. This meant that Britain could strip most of its Far East Ships and not have to worry. Unfortunately, many Imperialists saw this as the first step towards complete end of Colonialism, but remember, Colonialism was dieing anyway. The Bill still passed by a land-slide, and soon, attention turned elsewhere.

The Nation of Catalonia, mainly acting from University Students, decided enough was enough, and began a general rebellion against the Spanish Government. The Leninist Activists seized Outposts, and all official Border Defenses in the area. The Leninist Rebellion caused what is known today as a "red scare". Powerful Politicians implicated the Soviet Union, though there was little to no real evidence of this, yet everyday people were scared for a while by the "red threat." Britain, France, and the Neighboring Powers of the area acted quickly. Britain got them all to sign an Embargo on Catalonia, and France ordered Bombers to attack Sympathetic Rebels in Oviedo. The Result was an Isolated Catalonia with one "Escamots" Militia Division to fight many thousand Spanish Regulars. The Militia were quickly defeated despite putting up a gallant stand in Taragonna

Embargo on Catalonia

U.K. research: 1934

Despite the "Red Scare" Life continued as normal throughout the empire. Few had any knowledge of what would be in store for 1935.

After the Catalan Defeat, the world turned its attention yet again. This time to the London Naval Treaty, c.1934. All the great Naval Powers would be assembled, Japan, the U.S., and Great Britain of course. In addition France and Italy would attend. Each had their own Naval agenda's to attend too. While its tempting to use this Event with Hindsight and say "it never amounted to a thing" that wouldn't be 100% true. It may be hard to grasp, but the events of this conference would have far reaching effects.

The Proposal was for a 5-5-3-1-1 Agreement. Meaning United Kingdom-United States-Japan-Italy-France. The proposal satisfied the French who had to focus much of its military budget on Land. It didn't satisfy Italy who thought the conference was way too British Biased for obvious reasons. The Japanese were downright offended by it though. The Protest made sense, the treaty left Japan weaker than Britain and the United States, putting it in a bad position should a war start. Japan stormed out and a final treaty couldn't be agreed upon yet.



World attention soon turned to an Italian Fort found in Ethiopia. Ethiopia launched a formal League of Nations protest, but it fell on deaf ears. Ethiopia continued to protest and hope for something. Yet anyone could tell the struggle was too far up hill. Still, their remained a Chance of Ethiopia lashing out against Italy.




Japan rejected a final agreement due to the earlier insult. Thus the World was left with uncertainty. Would Japan push a major Rearmament? Or would it focus on gobbling up China? The World was left with uncertainty and gall. Japan was free too build up as it wanted, and who was to stop her? 1934 ended in a somber mood. The World was left wondering when the next act would come. Few could tell how big that act would be in a few years time.

Next: The Murder? of King Alexander

Note: Next Update should cover most of 1935 as well.
