[Forum Game] - World in Revolution: 1861

[Spitfire5793]

The United Republics of Colombia-Ecuador

We are astonished and angered by the invasion of our land by Central American forces. We demand a formal apology as well as compensation for the disrespect paid to us. Furthermore, we demand you state the intention of your military build up.

On a cheerier note, we are pleased to see our vast railroad system nearing completion and we again thank the Confederate and French governments for their help.

Lastly, The United Republics shall begin a military recruitment and modernisation campaign to allow us to sufficiently defend our boarders and to deter all old and new threats.

[jacob-Lundgren]

The people of France continue to push forward into a new age of prosperity. The collapse of the deal with Manchuria is not going to be looked at as a failure in the long run, instead we simply have to find a more stable base for investment in asia. As shown though the government is taking steps to improve its relations with other nations and our defense abilities we have a strong focus on development at home. Taxes could have been raised to recruit new troops, build new forts or totally rebuild the navy but instead their were raised to rebuild your roads, your homes and expand railroad access.

As the economy continues to advance forward opportunities for wealth, safety and prosperity in France grow greatly. We also will be working to improve access to advanced classes at high level universities. Science will continue to improve our lives in the coming days and we must embrace the changes first so that France can lead the way once again.

[enkhuush]

You have one small slice of Afrika left...

The government of Portugal would like to transfer these land to interested country with reasonable price. Also we are open to any trade negotiations.

[Edzako]

OOC: Nice rank, but doesn't really reflect real situation. Ottomans and to lesser extent, Netherlands are too high and Russia is too low.

[Dyranum]

OOC: I thought the update said that Honduras joined me? I therefore also expected that to nullify the decreased income from army expenses but uh...I am confused.
Also, no mention of the treaty of Guatemala City? Oh well.

Confederacy of Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, and Honduras

We are glad at the Hondurian response to our attempts to unite the fractured Republics of Central America into one country, capable of standing on its own two feets. We look forward to furthering our prosperous relationship.

In response to Colombia, we are sincerely sorry that such an unfortunate accident did happen, and it was not in our intentions to violate Colombian national borders. However, nobody was hurt, and nothing was destroyed, so I would say that it all ended well. As a gesture of our good intentions, and to smooth over this unfortunate incident, we offer to sign a treaty of cooperation and friendship with our southern neighbour.

Now, you did also demand to know why we have been conducting all this military, and I must say I thought that was obvious: to make Central America capable of standing against any and all foreign aggression. We have no intention of being cowed and put under a foreign yoke, and therefore we have been making improvements to our military. It is merely a pre-emptive build-up, which I would say is quite necessary when looking back at things.
If violent conflict can be avoided, then we will attempt to do so as we are a peaceful nation. You might question why then we would need a strong military, and I once again say that the answer is obvious: we are merely securing our peace the Swiss way.
But nevertheless, if war shall somehow come our way, then we will fight to the last drop of blood. Central America depends on our protection and willingness to make sacrifices, and we shall honour our promise to Central America.

So, in short: We do not desire war, but if war comes our way anyway, then we shall fight to preserve our sovereignty.

[MastahCheef117]

Kingdom of Manchuria

The Emperor would like to announce the Kingdom's industrialization plan, where we hope that our industry will be able to match and compete with the industries of other major nations by the turn of the decade. This will not only provide jobs to those who are lacking them, but it will expand our working force, diversify it, and bring money to those who need it.

The Emperor would also like to remind the other nations of the world that we are not willing to lease further port cities to others; for the time being, the Confederate States of America will be the only country to lease our territory. We are not going to be used in a way that will gain others much power and influence in the region, while there is no benefit for the Kingdom or its people.

We would also like to briefly congratulate the Taiping on uniting most of China proper under their rule.

[enkhuush]

The Reich would be interested in purchasing the African lands still held by Portugal.

OOC: Say your price, please. :-)

[Morrell8]

The Reich would bid for the Portuguese colony of Guinea Bissau, for 75 Gold. Is this agreeable to the nation of Portugal?

[misiame]

This is a great day for Denmark. We have yet again appeared on the front of Afrika and in a much better location. A natural harbor and whales, it will be the perfect location for a trade station. I invite all nations of the world for a hand in trade with Denmark because now, we have access to it.

I see that Sweden is trying to get more land. Finland wasn't enough, and now you want to take Denmark. I say this: Our nation has come on hard times, but we are rising in greatness. We will not be worms, but birds who feed on those worms and fly to greatness. We have braved great wars and we still retain our sovereignty. Do not falter Denmark's citizens, because if we give up now, then all our hard work will be for naught.


OOC: Oh and this was posted a while back, but I'll sign it now

[X] King Frederick VII of Denmark

[Duke of Britain]

We have finally driven the Argentine puppets from Rio Grande do Sul, however this doesn't means the end of the war, much the opposite, it has barely started, soon the might of Brazilian unity and patriotism shall strike at the heart of our enemies, the Empire of Brazil shall not bow down to the aggressors in the South!
We will drive your scum from our lands, we will protect our brothers from your dictatorial regimes, democracy shall not perish in South America!

Our friends in Bolivia face a ridiculous aggression from the Chileans, the Colombians have suffered a violation of their territory by the Guatemalans, during such troubled times is that South America needs to unite and cooperate in order to defend herself against those acts of aggression.
To the guatemalans, i hope your intentions are truly peaceful, i do not desire the relationship between our two nations to be damaged because your military did the mistake of violating Colombian territory, South America has seen enough war.

[Dyranum]

We assure the Empire of Brazil that the Confederacy of Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, and Honduras is a peaceful nation, and that the incident in Panama was entirely an accident. However, though we value peace, we also value our sovereignty. If Colombia decides to bring war to Central America, then we shall fight. But we sincerely do hope that violent conflict can be averted. We have hope that the government in Colombia-Ecuador sees it that way as well, as I am certain that war between the Confederacy of Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, and Honduras and Colombia-Ecuador will be beneficial to neither one of us.



Regarding the situation in Europe, we applaud the stalwart defenders of the United Kingdom for their tremendous success, against high odds.

[Duke of Britain]

I trust the words of the Confederate president, i hope that his episode can be put behind the history of both your nations, it is not the time for the good people of the Guatemalan and Colombian nations to be hurt by the flames of an unecessary war.
I hope that both of you will forget this incident and have friendly relations on the future.

[Spectre17]

The Kingdom of Belgium congratulates the United Kingdom on it's vitories over the communist scum.

Leopold I, King of the Belgians

[Spitfire5793]

The United Republics of Colombia-Ecuador

We accept the Guatemalan appology and shall not press any further for compensation. We will put the whole incident behind us and shall sign your treaty of friendship and cooperation. However we echo the words of Brazil, hoping that your military intentions are indeed peaceful.

[misiame]

I am inspired by this peaceful resolution by Colombia-Ecuador and the Confederacy of the CSA. I am glad that nations can end such conflicts so quickly and peacefully.
