Treaty of Sana'a
Ottomans officially free Kuwait as a protectorate of The UK
Land adjustments near the UK colony of Yemen in favor of the UK (modern Yemen borders)
The Ottomans will De-militarize their border with Egypt
The Ottomans apologize for insulting British Honor
UK-Ottomans sign a Non-Aggression-Pact that is only valid if the Ottomans themselves also don't attack nations, upon launching a war of aggression by the Ottomans the NaP itself is rendered invalid.
The French Government announces the withdrawal of the French ambassador from China, and the reinforcement of the French military presence with the purpose of ensuring the integrity of our concessions.
The United Kingdom cannot take the chance that China will uphold their word. They clearly are willing to take advantage of world events and are clearly unhappy with the strategic situation in Asia. As the British Empire is generally satisfied with the situation in Asia we are of course disturbed by this action. Perhaps that rebellion has led to confusion in the leadership of the Qing, perhaps they feel a need or a desire to rectify their past problems with foreign nations. Seeing how such action can be used to justify an attack upon us as well as by virtue of inaction an endorsement by us for their current actions we have been left with no choice. Absent an immediate ceasefire, immediate change in their new aggressive posture and very shortly thereafter a peace treaty with Russia, we are declaring war on the Qing. We will not wait long and steps are already being taken to mobilize ships and expeditions as needed and our forces in Asia are going on a full alert.
While we value friendship with a China that seeks to look out for its people, we do not value friendship with a China that is actively seeking to acquire other nations people.
China seeks to change their borders, we have many interests in and around China. They can consider themselves looking out for Chinese under Russian rule but we consider ourselves defending our citizens and interests in and around China. Many nations rule people that are not strictly the same as the majority population and that is accepted in the world. But what nations rarely accept are aggressive neighbors in a position to harm the nation and its interests. If we wait we are both endorsing the actions by China against Russia and inviting the same to us later. They want to revise themselves upon Russia, why would the British Empire not be next? The word of the Qing?The United Kingdom cannot really talk about acquiring other nations people. Also the large majority of the Russian areas around China is inhabited by Chinese. As are the treaty ports.
OOC: not at war atm, that was an ultimatum of sorts. We might be working something special out. If musk uncrashes or whatever and is back online in irc.OOC: They have legations, not embassies...
Also is the UK at war or not at war with Qing?
