Chapter 19: This chapter begins on the 1st of January 1912.
By now German forces were making some progress along the Spanish east coast, and the newly arrived 6 armies were sent down there too, the plan was to encircle the Spanish troops on the border, as this was just about their whole army, destroying them would make it even easier to win.
By June the encirclement was complete, and the majority of the Spanish forces were trapped. They were destroyed in June.
By mid July Madrid was in German hands, and so were half of the Spanish provinces in Europe.
By the end of October all of Spain was in German hands, and forces were sent into Portugal.
By mid November half of Portugal was occupied by German forces. The war was as good as won by now, only a few more months and total victory would be achieved.
1913: By mid January all of Portugal was in German hands, and we offered them peace demanding all of their provinces in Europe except their capitol. The Portuguese accepted our offer.
We also offered the Spanish peace for all of their European provinces, but they refused.
On the 23rd of February we made peace with the Spanish taking all of their European provinces except their capitol and 5 provinces south on the Iberian Peninsula.
On the 1st of March the Ottomans made peace with the Russians ceding their two last European provinces, plus 3 provinces in the Caucasus region.
On the 2nd we offered Two Sicilies peace for all of their provinces except the capitol, but they refused. We offered the same deal on the 10th of March and it was accepted.
On the 7th of August our peace treaty with Greece, one of Austria’s allies expired, and on the 8th we declared war on them, hoping that the Austrians would join them, which the foolish Austrians did.
Austria had some 50 divisions in Wien, but we had several armies surrounding it, so the whole situation was under control.
The Austrians did try to break out of Wien, but their attacks were easily repulsed.
By the 4th of October all Austrian provinces except for Wien was under German control, and three Greek provinces had been taken as well.
On the 18th of November the Austrians offered us peace given up 3 of their 4 provinces under our control. We accepted, knowing that with them now having only 2 provinces, we could annex them.
1914: By late February all of Greece was in German hands, and we offered them peace demanding all of their provinces except their capitol on the 18th. They accepted.
On the 5th of March we declared war on Montenegro, a nation that the Austrians were guaranteeing the independence of. They did not dare to honour their guarantee though.
On the 29th we annexed Montenegro.
The Austrians were allied to the Swiss, so German high command chose to declare war on the Swiss hoping that the Austrians would join the war on their side. On the 30th of March war was declared on Switzerland. The Austrians joined the Swiss in their struggle against us, and the 6 main German armies were ordered to assault Wien.
On the 6th of April the Danes declared a colonial war on us.
On the 9th the assault on Wien began, with 293 German divisions facing 56 Austrian. On the 26th the Austrian forces surrendered, after having taken massive casualties.
By the 4th of May German forces had taken full control over Wien.
On the same day German high command was made aware of the fact that the Austrians had 3 provinces in North Africa as well…. Troops were loaded onto transports and immediately sent towards the provinces in North Africa.
On the 23rd of June German forces landed in Bône, one of the Austrian provinces.

1916: On the 6th of January we declared war on Spain, violating our peace treaty with them. Portugal and France joined the war on the Spaniards side.
On the 1st of February we annexed Portugal. (Note: Lisbon has 410 craftsmen POP’s!! All of about 500 people in size).
On the 23rd we accepted peace with France taking almost all of their colonial possessions; they now only had 12 colonial provinces left.
On the 14th of April peace was concluded with Spain taking 6 of their 9 provinces, meaning that the next war we would be able to annex them.
On the 22nd our peace treaty with the Papal States expired, and we declared war on them the same day.
On the 13th of May the Papal States were annexed.
On the 19th of September 50 new steamer transports were finished, and put into service.
The new transports were used to ship 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th Army over to England, to be used to take London soon.
After this was done the German 150th Corps, consisting of 40 divisions were loaded onto the transports and set sail for our single Indian province, to conquer India during the war against Britain.
149th Corps, consisting of 25 divisions also joined 150th Corps in their journey to India.
With all of these forces, the German presence in India would number about 750,000 men.
On the 25th of December the German troops reached Goa, our province in India, and the German army was now ready for war against the British.
1917: On the 1st of January, 1917, we declared war upon the United Kingdom. The British had some 1.2 million troops guarding London, but with over 3 million German troops ready to attack London, this was no big problem.
The UK’s large amount of allies joined in, but none of them were dangerous at all. It was mostly Indian minors.
On the 7th German forces reached London and engaged the British defenders, and by the 23rd the German forces had defeated the British forces. By the 1st of February German forces had fully secured London.

On the 8th of December Bikaner and Jodhpur were annexed.
1919: By October just about all of British India was in German hands, and a peace was offered to the British for these lands, plus Gibraltar. The British declined our offer.
On the 25th of November the same offer was put on the table again, and this time the British wisely accepted it. This war made Germany the biggest actor in India, controlling almost all of it. It also added more than 200 million new subjects to the glorious German empire, giving us over 1.5 billion citizens.
By now our peace treaty with Austria had expired. The Austrians were allied to Switzerland, Greece and the Ottoman Empire, all nations that would be defeated with ease. No major troop formations were available close to the Swiss border, so forces would have to be shipped back to mainland Europe from England and then head there.
1920: By the 17th of February 3rd Army hard arrived on the Swiss border, and war was declared on Austria. Switzerland, Ireland and the Ottoman Empire joined the war on their side.
The German 3rd Fleet was sent to the Irish coast to deal with their fleet. German high command was also shocked by the Irish’s behaviour, as Germany was the ones that had made their independence possible.

Notes: Ok, thats the final chapter!
Germany is pretty much dominating the entire world by now. I think that around one third of the worlds total provinces are in German hands by 1921.
I hope you enjoy the pictures of the whole world at once, it took me over 1 hour to make them
Largest factory I had by the end of the AAR was a level 29 Steel Factory, I also had a level 18 Machine Parts factory.
Now I might set back the clock a few years and go for total WC, if so Ill do that in a few days I think.
