The Great War

unmerged(2377) · May 27, 2002

During the summer of 1914, Europe was a powder keg waiting to explode.

When Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria visited Bosia in June of 1914, he was killed by Gavrilo Prinzip.

Austria blamed Serbia for the assasination. They demanded that Serbia let investigators in to investigate. Serbia refused.

In July, Austria started shelling Serbian targets and declared war. Russia mobilized in helping Serbia. Germany declared war on Russia and France.

The Great War is on!

Europe in 1914

We begin with France and Russia at war with Germany and Austria. Oddly enough, Britain refused to honor their alliance with France, so that's good for us.

Our Kaiser sends an message to Belgium asking for military access. Denied. He then declares war on them to pay them back for being a French lackey.

Little Belgium's massive forts proved to be no match for the mighty guns of Krupp Works.

After Belgium's demise, France launched a frontal assault at the river Marne. It failed miserably and soon after Paris fell. The French government begged for peace, offering Calais, Picardy, Nivaras, and Champaign.

There was a New Order in Europe with France humiliated once again, but the Kaiser had bigger fish to fry...

Now get back to the Frenchies AAR.

After the collapse of France and peace returning, the Kaiser had several options of advance to choose from:

Reader Input

Plan North: Invade Denmark to gain Jyland and Iceland to isolate England.

Plan South: Invade Italy even though our relations with them are at an all time high.

Plan East: Support a Polish state and crush the Russians once and for all.

Plan SouthEast: Support Austria-Hungry with their proxy war against Serbia and Greece. Be warned that the Ottomans may try something.

Are you still at war with Russia? I cannot remember anything about a peace with them. Plan East therefore it is.

Otherwise Plan North would be nice

I remember some German politician/military man of the time saying that WWI would finally end up as a titanic struggle between "teuton and slav."
