OOC: I believe he is referring to the actual First World War

((He is, I'm just infrincing (sp) King5000's "dun dun DUN" comment as "WWII is coming" to which I said, I think that was WWII.))
 
The last sentence was meant to serve as a memorial to those who Died in the First World War. Nothing to do with the game.

The United French Communes


We have lost. There is no point in denying the evident truth, no point in covering up the smoking ruins where Paris once stood. Once, the United Communes stood with victory in our grasp, with the tantalizing prospect of a free Europe before our very eyes. Though the German Army was arrayed between us and that goal, vastly outnumbering us, we had an international coalition to give us the strength we needed to overcome insurmountable odds, the force and the moral authority to stop German hegemony.

The men of Russia fought valiantly in the service of freedom, having once known cruel defeat and its attendant woes. The men of Italy, though yoked to an insane tyrant, fought to liberate the Italian territories held within Germany's empire. The men of Greece fought to overcome German hegemony in the Balkans, to make prosperity a reality for all of their people. Even the men of the Commonwealth fought to defend Russia from the German onslaught, to save the people of Russia from a second loss. But the men of Great Britain and Belgium... they did not fight at all.

Ultimately, however, we cannot lay the blame for this great and terrible conflict's result at their feet, for the people of the British Isles and of the Low Countries are steadfast and devoted. But it was through the inaction of their governments, through the sheer ineptitude of their crowned heads, that the Royal Navy was denied the ability to oppose the High Seas Fleet, that the entire mobilized force of the Commonwealth never set foot in Europe, and that the German Army marched unopposed into northern France. Were the men of Britain and Belgium not shackled to the unendurable weight of their corrupt governments, they could very well have turned the tide of this conflict and freed Europe from the iron curtain that now settles over the Continent. But their leadership was weak and indecisive, their governments easily swayed by Germany's promises, and so the war was lost.

Now, unable to resist the tide of German domination that engulfs Europe, France must bear its heavy weight even as it has before. We must recover, we must rebuild, and we must bury our dead. We must return to peace, though it is a bitter one that chafes at our very souls, and attempt to create for ourselves the freedom we could not bring to the rest of Europe. We must put down our rifles and our bayonets, so that there will be a France to return to once the battlefields have been left behind. But even as we restore our nation and heal the grievous wounds dealt to our people, one fact remains.

We will not forget.

~ Alexandre Millerand, Chairman of the Revolutionary Council of the Communes of France
 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the United Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies

Her Majesty's Government, having been notified of the occupation of Paris by the German Army and the announcement of an armistice between the United French Communes and the German Empire, states its intention to solicit a treaty of peace from the German Government with no conditions on either party.

For the past five years, Her Majesty's Government has counselled against this insane conflict. When war was imminent, Her Majesty went desperately from capital to capital, brandishing a plan for peace; we were ignored. Then, after the first year of war, when the casualties were already mounting, Her Majesty again travelled between Berlin and Paris, attempting to foster agreement and reconciliation; we were ignored. For every following year, we repeated this pattern, even as we became disillusioned by the blind obstinacy of our ostensible allies and the rising torrent of blood that engulfed Europe. In the end, we even committed ourselves to the battlefield in the simple hope of restoring peace. We failed. And now, twenty million graves stand as testament to the wisdom of our peaceful counsel, and the repugnance of war.

Let this be the watchword of our century: never again. Never again can such a catastrophic failure of diplomacy and reason be allowed to occur. Never again can the supposedly civilised nations of Europe settle their disputes through war and conquest. Never again can the rivers of Europe froth over with the blood of combatants. Never again can this great continent allow itself to be crippled by internecine conflict.

It is the belief of Her Majesty's Government that there be created an international forum, composed of every nation on this Earth, dedicated to upholding peace by enabling the diplomatic settlement of disputes. This forum, which shall provisionally be referred to as the International Peace Organisation, would be a democratic organ, providing a neutral basis for the resolution of conflict. War would become a relic of a despicable past; any nation that sought to wage war would be subject to such sanctions by all participating nations as to cripple their economy and compel them to cease their activities. Only through such a forum could the events of the past be firmly, and permanently, expunged from posterity.

THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE

A telegram from Tsar Cyril I of Russia to Chairman Millerand of the United Communes.

Chairman,

Today is a darkest day for Europe. I feel deep regret that France too must face defeat. I wish to express my deepest sympathies for the people of France, as they too have sacrificed everything for this war, and must bear the burden of German oppression. I do have hope, however, that our two nations can put aside our ideological differences and strive to trade and support each other through these heinous terms the Germans have thrust upon us. It is only together that we can look forward for a better Europe. A free Europe.


Tsar Cyril I, Autocrat of the Russian Empire

The Kingdom of Belgium is pleased to see this mindless war, which has wrecked and destroyed whole countries, come to an end. We Belgians were able to avoid direct casualties in the war, however we are deeply saddened by the destruction of Paris, the city once considered the cradle of Western civilization. We sincerely hope that the nations of Europe can rebuild in peace and return to the previous prosperity.

We think that the only way to create lasting peace is to hold a peace conference, where all nations of Europe, belligerent or not are invited. This war had no winners and a new war in Europe would only weaken it more. We look forward to a new age in Europe, an age of European unity without political radicalism like Communism or Totalism.

Europe will rise from the ruins!

- King Albert I, the King of the Belgians

Magyars!



The war in our country is finally over. The civil war is now a thing of the past and it's time for the army to step down, because the legitimacy lies with the people and no with guns. But, to avoid further bloodshed and chaos, it will be a slow process. Because the bureaucracy isn't ready, the parties aren't ready and the people isn't ready either. We will begin on a small level and it will be a movement coming from bottom to top, until I give up on the Presidency. Next year communal elections will be organized all over the country. Elect people you trust will do the best for Hungary, choose wisely, don't be fooled by unrealistic promises but vote for the one you want to see in charge. Each Hungarian has this important decision to make, make it yourself. I trust you.
After this election, we will organize a national dialogue and a Constitution will be drafted, according to the will of the people. The modalities are still unsure and suggestions are welcome. Let's take each step carefully, and democracy will finally blossom in our beloved country.


Hungary is the motherland of Hungarians, no matter where they live. And no matter what they believe in. I believe that Jews are Jewish Hungarians, and that any sort of persecution against them should stop, because it's the same as persecuting Protestant or Catholic Hungarians. But, once again, it's a slow process, we can't destroy centuries of bad habits in one stroke. The Jews will be allowed to vote during the newt election and discrimination on education will stop. This means that the numerus clausus is abolished. Our universities will teach the intellectual elite of our nation, no matter where they come from or what they believe in. Hungary is resolutely looking forward.


Glory to Hungary, glory to you, Hungarians!

The Dominion of South Africa

The price we paid for this war was too great, too severe...so many have fallen, and for what? A ruined, destroyed Europe. There are no victors here - there is no peace. There is naught but an armistice for twenty years. The peoples of the various European nations will not soon forget the atrocities committed on both sides of the conflict. Europe will know conflict once more, rest assured.

I believe that it is best time that we rethink our relationship with the United Kingdom. Had Her Majesty's Government not been so lazy and unwilling to deploy troops to Europe, the entire course of the war would likely be completely different. Though I am a patriotic member of the Empire and I love the Homeland, this kind of failure to act cannot be tolerated. Do not mistake me, however, people of South Africa; under no circumstances will I support total separation with the United Kingdom, for the British Empire is at once our hammer and shield. It is not in the best interests of South Africa, nor any other Dominion, to forsake the Empire for little more than the selfish desire to proclaim themselves the sole rulers of their respective Dominions.

Thank you, people of South Africa. May God continue to watch over us.

~Prime Minister Jan Smuts
 
January - December 1920


Europe


The Treaty of Berlin is signed between the German Empire and the British Empire, and peace between the two nations comes into effect. This shocking treaty reverberated through the entire British Isles, and it would change the face of the nation for a generation.

General Elections take place in Great Britain, noticeably without the Irish Representatives. However, it was marked by a new Party, the British National Party, headed by former Conservative Robert Cecil. As he toured the country, he promised the people of Britannia two things. Ireland returned to the fold, and a partnership with the German Empire. While the second was a tough sell - by far, his oratory skill and ability to influence the British voters soon sparked across the Isles. When the voting day came, the British National Party, smashed all precedents, and Robert Cecil and his Party sailed into a majority, not even needing a coalition. King George V invited him to form a Government, and Prime Minister Cecil forged a brand-new path for the British Empire. In his first speech to the Parliament, he delivered his now-famous “Our German Friends” Speech:

”I address the House of Commons as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and yes I will remain firm on the issue of Ireland! The British People have given myself and my party a sweeping mandate to reform and reassess the course of Britain as she now stands. For too long, we have spurned the politics of Europe, but it is no doubt--The Communes of France, as well as Communism across the globe, is a plague we must crush. To do so, we must look towards the Conquerors of Europe. The German Empire, long showing it has been the very force of Europe, the driving Armies, have recently been victorious, over, yes, the British Empire, as well as the ages-old Russian Empire, which as we see now has been reduced to a shell of its former self. Why must we spurn this nation? We shall embrace this Nation! As Prime Minister, Anglo-German Relations shall leap forward! We shall ally ourselves with the Masters of Europe, against the Red Hydra, and the rising tide of Anarchy and Evil that is across this Earth. Only the German Empire, guided by the benevolent hand of Kaiser Wilhelm II, of whom I have invited, myself, to London to sign a Treaty of Friendship that I shall soon bring to the Parliament for a vote. The Kaiser is the last bulwark against Tyranny and Dictatorships on this continent, and he is, along with the British Empire, the last, true hope for Democracy in Europe! With our sweeping mandate, Britain and Germany can, and will, work together! Rule Britannia!”

News of this speech spread across both the Empire and the World, shocking many. The shock was felt, even more so, in the Parliaments of the Dominions. In South Africa, Prime Minister Jan Smuts, motioned a movement to cut any and all ties that South Africa has with the British Empire, renouncing its place in the Commonwealth, and electing to be a Free and Independent nation, away from what Smuts called, ”The most dangerous coup of the British Government, conducted with ease by the Germans.” The measure passed the Unity Party Parliament, and with little changes other than the Governor-General was thrown out, Prime Minister Smuts took the reigns of the newly-independent Republic of South Africa, awaiting a response from London. The Dominions of Australia and Canada also began to move similar bills through their Parliament, and many seemed close to passing. It was certain, that the British Commonwealth was pulling itself apart by the strings.

Robert Cecil, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom, focused on winning the War in Ireland, sets aside funds to establish and expand industry and equipment for the British Army, but the funds themselves, were channeled off by spies inside the United Kingdom, and they went straight to Ireland.
[-24,466,241 £ from the United Kingdom.]

The United Kingdom, looking to expand their influence with the French Navy, attempts to capitalise on the French loss in the War, but the apathetic French Navy still didn’t care about either side one way or the other. The British are, however, able to persuade France’s submarine fleet to join the British Navy.
[-15 Submarines from France. +15 Submarines to the United Kingdom.]

Patriotic Calls to crush the Communist Rebels in Ireland continues, as the British try to drum this up in a huge recruitment drive. More soldiers sign up for the Army, and are put through the training process as quickly as possible.
[+295,250 Regulars to the United Kingdom in 1 turn.]

The Royal Navy, working now to establish a blockade of Ireland, is able to reinforce and turn Waterford into fully British controlled territory once again. From here, the Royal Army was able to create a launching ground into the rest of Ireland. The British held mass-widespread and high profile public hangings of Communists and suspected Communists. The sheer brutality of this was reflected at home, as the population screamed out against this.
[-1 Public Opinion from the United Kingdom.]

The actions of the Army, however, were just as effective in warfare as they were in hanging Communists. The Royal Army was able to spread out across the Emerald Isle, securing some strongholds from surprisingly lax IRA opposition. In Dublin, however, is where the IRA was concentrating on a defense, hoping to bleed the British, and force the new Government to retreat, lest it lose its favour with the population.

The defenses, however, were not all that impressive. The IRA depended on hit-and-run tactics, and wasn’t well versed in the ability to defend against large armies, such of that of the Royal Army. After the first wave of British Soldiers, they were able to destroy the outer defenses, and they moved into the City itself. Fighting was fierce, street to street, and both sides using anything they could as cover. The IRA was able to excel in their Hit and Run tactics, but they were losing too many soldiers to continue, and were forced to retreat to the countryside.
[-84,519 Regulars from the United Kingdom.]

At the end of the year, many of the coastal cities of Ireland fell under control of the British Royal Army, while the IRA retreated into the countryside, hoping to find their support there, and carry out a long, grueling war, against the British to the extent that they are forced to retreat.

Across France, the Heroism Speech is distributed to all of the workers, no matter the language you spoke, you could get a copy. All of France stood behind their Chairman. They were confident of the course of their nation, and supported her goals - but a voice was heard. It was the worker’s voice. They supported the recent armistice with the German Empire, and hoped to make sure that they would be able to get a fair peace.
[+1 Public Opinion to France.]

In the Ruhr, the French, being close by, sent funds and supply to the communists, hoping to incite them further. However, the Spartacus League was being beaten back by the German Army, and retreated to the French lines, unable to help any more. They joined the French Regular Army, determined to stand by their Communist brethren, and not bow to German Steel.
[+20,620 Regulars to France.]

The Army of Liberation was able to capture German submachine guns, and while not knowing the specifications, were quick to deconstruct it, and they were plagued with the same thing the Germans were, they seemed to misfire and could explode. With the armistice signed, however, they were never put into use.

Attempts to covertly send money, arms, training, and volunteers to the Catalans turns out to be a complete and utter failure as some of the volunteers are taken from the Paris defenses, and attempt to cross into Catalonia, but instead cross into Spain. The Spanish Army takes all of these soldiers, and their equipment and funds, and takes them prisoner.
[-142,529 Conscripts from France. -64,373,153 Gold from France. +64,373,153 Gold to Spain. -2% Equipment from France. +2% Equipment to Spain.]

Attempts to build the new “Armoured Beasts” as they were called do not fall through, as the factories producing parts for these fall under control of the Germans, and the entire ordeal is swept under the carpet, and materials are gathered from other parts of France, and production continues as normal, even with the armistice in place.

The German Navy, quickly expanding its prowess on the open waters, quickly sets up a blockade of the Netherlands and the French, establishing control over both the North Sea and the Atlantic Coasts of France and the Netherlands.
[Partial Blockade of France. Total Blockade of the Netherlands.]

In Antwerp, Belgium the harbour and the dry-docks are expanded along the River Scheldt, to handle bigger and more cargo loads, and military loads, than it previously could.
[+1 Infrastructure to Belgium in 2 turns. -55,073,310 fr from Belgium.]

In Antwerp, new factories pop up along the River Scheldt, specialising in petrochemical products, and the materials needed for this would be shipped up the River from Dutch ports.
[+20 Industry to Belgium in 2 turns. -71,439,706 fr from Belgium.]

Attempts to stop trading with the United Kingdom of the Netherlands falls apart as fighting in Brussels over stopping trade stalls the Federal Parliament, and completely shuts down the bill, and trade still flows between the two countries.

A government-backed campaign to bring more soldiers into the Belgian Armed Forces seems to be aimed at the smallest segment of the population possible. It was all done in German, and it made the Government seem like a German puppet. In the end, no new soldiers signed up, and moral of the country took a turn downwards.
[-2 Public Opinion from Belgium.]

The Dutch Army, looking to modernise and bring their military into the future, establish portable radios for the Army and Navy to help them better communicate and coordinate. It is because of this that the Army was very quickly able to work better together, and their effectiveness increased drastically.
[-905,222,627 ƒ from the Netherlands. +4 Army Levels to the Netherlands.]

The Dutch Submarine Programme continues to be expanded, where the Government looks to double the amount of ships in their fleet, in an effort to make sure that they wouldn’t be bested in the Sea. These new submarines are expected to be done in a few years.
[-11,133,234 ƒ from the Netherlands. +10 Submarines to the Netherlands in 2 years.]

With the war descending upon the Netherlands, plans to expand the defensive “Ijssel Line” are shelved because all of the available men were sent to the front, to fight to defend the Netherlands.
[+71,971 Conscripts to the Netherlands.]

The Dutch Air Force, which was small enough as it is, was ordered to be expanded. With the blockade of the Netherlands under full swing, they had to scrap together parts to build a few fighter wings, and it would take a while longer until they could be used.
[-9,896,208 ƒ from the Netherlands. +2 Fighter Wings to the Netherlands in 3 turns.]

Along the Dutch-German border, nothing of interest happens as the German Military, only a few thousand strong, sit on the border, as per commands of the German High Command, which canceled invasion plans at the last second for unknown reasons.

The German Imperial Navy and the Dutch Royal Navy have minor scuffles off the coast of the Netherlands, with some Dutch submarines being able to sink a German cruiser, but the rest of the German Navy descended upon the submarines, stopping them from escaping into the North Sea.
[-1 Cruiser from Germany. -2 Submarines from the Netherlands.]

Fighting between the German and Dutch Air Force turn out to be disastrous to the Dutch, the pioneers of air travel, as the Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte dominates the skies over the Netherlands, quickly shooting down all the Dutch Air Force, and preventing them from doing any damage to the German Empire.
[-1 Fighter Wing to the Netherlands.]

Elections take place across Spain for the Parliament, most of which go off without any trouble - and the votes from Catalonia being noticeably absent. An outpouring of support for the Party of King and Country, the main right-wing Party, grants them a vast swath of the seats, a total of Sixty-Three percent, with the Fascists taking no seats at all, being completely kicked out of Parliament, and the minor left-wing parties taking the rest of the seats. Only a few of the seats went to the Communist Party of Spain, and they refused to take their seats, and instead fled to Catalonia to fight the Revolution.

Soldiers are once again mustered into the Spanish Army, in an attempt to ensure that Spain would be victorious in the Spanish Civil War. Thousands of Spanish soldiers march into Madrid, eager to sign up for the Army.
[+357,112 Conscripts to Spain.]

The British Royal Navy steams into Spanish Ports, offloading supplies for the Spanish Kingdom to help buttress the Army with more equipment, and to make sure they could fight, and win, against the Communist rebels inside their country.
[-12,848,891 £ from the United Kingdom. +11% Equipment to Spain.]

The Spanish Foreign Legion is formed, looking for volunteers from across the world that wish to serve in the Spanish Army, and to beat back the Communists. Of the many that signed up, no nation provided more volunteers than Greece, which sent over thirty percent of the multinational force. South Africa soldiers, moved from Crimea, also join this force to assist the Spanish.
[+104,254 Regulars to Spain. -306,263,906 ₧ from Spain.]

The Spanish Kingdom searched out and attempted to try and find royalists and republicans in the former Kingdom of Portugal, and was able to locate the underground movement, and sent funding to them, their base was located in Northern Portugal, a connection was established, and the new fighting Regiment, dubbed the “Iberian Unification Army”, moved out, attempting to bring the fight to Portugal, and now have it expand into Spain.
[-139,210,866 ₧ from Spain.]

Attempts to send spies into Catalonia to free the captured army fail as the spies themselves, passing through Barcelona, are captured by the Catalonians, and hanged for spying and treason, and threaten to kill the Spanish Army they have should Spain not submit to their demands.
[-78,819,198 ₧ from Spain.]

Attempts to send the Navy out to blockade Portugal end in utter failure as half the crew were Communists, and the other half were Royalists. Fighting on the ships themselves takes place, and the Spanish Navy, for all its pomp and splendour, sits, worthless, in the harbour. One of the crews, in protest, scuttle their ship, blocking a large part of the Spanish Navy in port.
[-1 Crusier from Spain.]

However, the British Royal Navy, which was in the area, enacted a full blockade of Portugal, which would soon surely harm them dearly.

In Catalonia, the Eastern Legion and the Army of the Ebro move towards the Coast, with the intent of creating a pocket, and helping to separate the Catalans from the French border to the North. The initial stages of this plan work out well, with the Eastern Legion making it to the coast with success. The Army of the Ebro, however, is faced with daunting challenges against the Communist Army, who are able to push them back at the River Ebro, and throw the Spanish army off. Connections with France were once again made, but now Barcelona was under direct threat of the Spanish guns.
[-39,262 Conscripts from Spain.]

In Portugal, the Portuguese Liberation Army surged into Galicia, quickly subduing some of the border garrisons, and spreading their message of Communism and Liberation to the people. However, in the South, the Spanish Army began a march towards Lisbon, but were meet with a huge resistance by the population, who seemed to be thirsty to just kill the Spanish. They were motivated by Communism, and would fight to the death for their tiny Soviet Republic.
[-59,159 Conscripts from Spain.]

The United States Navy appears off the coast of the Azores, and, when giving a salute with their guns, accidentally have their sights adjusted wrong, and level one of the islands. The semi-functioning Government orders the United States to get the hell away from their islands, and to never return, as they killed countless Civilians with their display.

Attempts to call for stability across the new Italian Republic seems to fall apart as several of the propaganda and speeches were made in Neapolitan, something that the rest of the Italian-speaking country could not understand.

The Italian Republic issues a statement to Northern Italy, in an attempt to make sure that they know all they wish is for reunification with Southern Italy, and not revenge. The North Italian state rebukes this, and not a single person in Northern Italy gets to read it.

The Republican Government, knowing that the Dictatorship that gripped Italy both neglected and ruined Southern Italy, set out trying to improve both the agricultural and transportation problems. The first goal was to get more roads out the farm lands, and to help expand these lands. With this in place, Italy might be poised to roar back.
[-226,231,926 ₤ from Italy. +260 Base Income to Italy.]

Across Italy, the Government attempts to hand out and give guns to their armed forces, but the amount of money allocated to them is inadequate to give arms to all the soldiers.
[-195,265,831 ₤ from Italy. +3% Equipment to Italy.]

The Italian Republican Army, along with the Army of the German Empire, manage to smash through the Italian lines in the North. With pressure on both sides, opposition begins to melt away, many Italians just breaking and running. By the end of the year, with the news of the French capitulation, the Royalist Italians, along with the King’s body, who was killed during one of the retreats, surrendered unconditionally to the Italian Republic. The German Empire, however, kept hold of the land it had captured in the War, and was ready to enter into formal talks regarding the territory they held with the Italian Republic.

The Swiss Army, not known for their offensive operations, tries to pass a bill for fortifications and strong points along their border, but Switzerland, known for it’s direct-democracy, have this whole ordeal overruled by the people, and the idea is scrapped.

The Schools of Economics and Business is finally finished, with the Main Hall’s last brick being put into place in August of 1920. Just as this was done, however, a strong wind gust blew up against the building, collapsing the scaffolding, and causing a crane, which was in the area, to topple, and it smashed into the Main Hall, destroying it. It would take yet another year to rebuild it for it to be useable.
[-103,523,982 S₣ from Switzerland.]

Radio Towers are built around the country, and on the borders, but an error with the Swiss planning actually built many of the towers in France, Italy, and Germany. This error was found by these Governments and they repossessed them, most of them destroying them to prevent Swiss broadcasts.

At the Black Mesa Research Facility, the Swiss Government gathers John Logie Baird, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, and Kálmán Tihanyi to work on a secret project. All of them agree, and set up homes in their new country. This new project they were working on was called “Project YB”, and not many knew what was happening.
[“Project YB” Progress 1/6. -195,280,125 S₣ from Switzerland.].

An agreement was signed between the Swiss Government and the Greek Government, in which the Greeks would give, help, and train the Swiss in terms of Air Force and Plane Technology. This programme was going to take a few years, and would cost a fairly large amount - but the Swiss would be better off in the end.

In a meeting between the Norwegian Prime Minister and the Swedish King, a treaty is drafted between the two powers, in which Norway would once again resume its previous agreement with Sweden, in which the two were unified under one flag. This surprising move is far different than Norway’s actions years ago, when it split from Sweden after a disastrous showing in a war against Finland and the Russian Empire.

New tax codes are simplified between these two united countries, helping to streamline the administration and allowing for more money overall to be collected and brought to the coffers of the national Treasury.

The Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte is expanded with more and more Airplanes, fighters are constantly being constructed in the Ruhr Industrial Area, ready to give Germany her place in the skies. As a result of this, as well as the usage in the War, Germans are able to figure out how to make a fixed-wing, rigid aircraft that is capable of dropping bombs. While it would take some Government investment into this, it could surely revolutionize air power.

The German High Command, and Admiral Tirpitz, look to expand Germany's place in the world, and on the Sea. He orders the construction of several new Dreadnoughts, the first of the German Navy, and they will soon sail the seas.

Even with the war winding down, the Germans still continue to drive Women into the factories. This seemingly breakdown of the social barriers and the economic norms of the past was viewed as a good thing. The Reichstag, now in session once again, passed laws against the discrimination of genders in hiring in the Industrial Workplace, allowing for these women to keep these jobs when the men came home from the War. Support for the new Reichstag flourished around the nation.

In Riga, Germany, representatives of the German Empire and the Russian Empire meet to formally sign the Treaty of Riga, ending the War between the two powers. The Russian Empire was forced to give massive concessions to the German Empire, but the people at home were just happy to be at peace once again. The German Army, not to be outdone, began to take industry from Rostov-on-Don, even though it was not to be part of the new Ukraine, they took it back to the Baltic states, setting it up there and helping it Industrialise.

The signing of the Treaty of Riga between the German Empire and the Russian Empire.

Concurrently to the signing of the Treaty of Riga, the Treaty of Trieste was signed between the German Empire and the Kingdom of Greece. A seemingly unfair treaty, in which the Greeks were forced to give much of their national industry to the German Empire, did not sit well with the German Public.

In Prague, the Government begins the construction of several long and expansive freeways, which would help to improve transportation, and economic activity in the nation.

The Polish-Ukrainian front has no movement at all once again this year, as both sides created even more impressive and elaborate defenses. Many of the soldiers didn’t even carry their gun around anymore. Many of them thought the war was stupid, and not worth fighting, and that a border should be drawn between the two countries, and peace declared. This mutiny of the soldiers caused some worry in the two countries high commands.

Attempts to call more people into the Army don’t go so well in Western Ukraine, as many of them just wanted peace in the end.

Western Ukraine attempts to establish military relations with the Republic of Ukraine, but are rebuked in their efforts to do so, as the independent, and much larger, Ukraine had no reason to follow the military command or to even work with the Western Ukraine's military.

In the Republic of Ukraine, a new political party, “Western Ukraine Unification Movement”, is formed and quickly takes a good chunk of the seats in the Duma elections. Why they are kept out of Government, they are a strong and forceful voice for unification with Western Ukraine, and to be put under their leadership, as they have experience as a country, and not starting one up from scratch.

The Russian Empire, still reeling from their losses in the Great War, decide to rebound back, and begin by taking old factories and other things and giving them to private owners. While they run the factories much better, the real change came when tax breaks for expansion of industry occurred, and there was subsidies for cars. Soon, the Russians were able to have a small economic boost because of this.

The new Romanian Constitution is passed through several committees in the national legislature, but it lacked sufficient movement that year to pass fully and replace the old one. The King would have to sell it to the public before enough of them clamoured for its passage. If it was passed, however, it would create a stronger, more liberal Romania.

The Romanian War Veterans Fund is set up in Bucharest, with the expressed goal of providing housing, food, medical care, and other necessities to those who were wounded and unable to help themselves anymore as a result of the Great War.

The Congressional Committee in regards to Panama, noticed that the strength of the rebel movement mostly was in Western Panama. The Committee didn’t think that the United States should be working constantly to keep these people inside the country that didn’t want to be in the country, and thus they drafted their final proposal. The country of Western Panama was to be released by the United States, but the border would be far away from the Panama Canal Zone, and it would be protected similar to that of the Colombian border. It was up to President-elect Roosevelt to act upon this initiative.

As the war against the Rebels continues in Panama, the soldiers there are reinforced by the new soldiers from the United States, but by the time they get there, the Rebels, who had been pushing the United States, got within sight of the Panama Canal Zone, to which the United States Army pushes back immensely, using the surge of soldiers to get the rebels away from the Canal Zone, but fighting in the jungle bogs the American soldiers down, forcing them to stop their push.

Attempts to revise the import duties used for industrial usage falls flat in the Parliament, as they are already too busy bickering over how to fix the tax situation. As well as how to spend all of the money they were going to get.

However, they are able to pass legislation giving temporary benefits to unemployed people in the nation, pledging to them money and other necessities should they fall on hard times. It helps to win back some people after the disaster with the tax rates.
[+1 Public Opinion to South Africa. Minimal Welfare State constructed.]

On the island of Madagascar, Greek explorers approach the island with trepidation and wonder, not knowing what they would find on the island. As it would be, it descended into complete and utter anarchy. And while efforts to return the island to a Monarchy were on the mind of the Greeks, they instead were forced to establish local control directly under the administration of Greece, annexing bits of the Island into Greece itself.
[-492,198,881 ₯ from Greece.]

Attempts to send native soldiers loyal to the German Empire into Mozambique to gain information mysteriously never return back to their posts after a year of being sent in.
[German Colonial Army gone.]

Similarly for the Brazilians, who send more soldiers to this area to try and establish control over the area, one of the detachments that moved North were never heard from again, despite constant attempts to contact them. They were considered lost to the jungles. However, a few thousand soldiers were left, and they were able to establish control over the South and West of the current Brazilian positions.

Asia/Oceania

The new Government of India comes together, one that promotes Unity and Co-existence of both Hindus and Moslems. While many scoffed at the idea such a unity ever being possible, leaders from both sides of this argument came together, and were able to work out a plan. India would be split, internally, along a Hindu-run area and a Moslem-run area. These two areas would then unite at the Federal Level to form the Government of India. This would help both the publics view, as well the investors view.
[+1 Public Opinion to India. +1 Economic Stability to India.]

An agreement between Sikkim and India is close to completion, until the London office finds out about this, and strikes it down unilaterally, as India is not supposed to have any say in Foreign Affairs whatsoever.

In tandem with the unity government, a new education system, based along secular lines, with a stand curriculum for all of India is announced. One in which Indian History, as well as Hindu and Moslem cooperation is hailed. Included in this, as well, is an idea, a wild one, but an idea of a Great India. It would serve to bring these people together once more.
[-1,943,804,641 ₹ from India. +8.58% Education Level to India in 3 turns.]

Plans for a massive railway system across India are planned, but the Government, in wanting to help save and preserve money, decide to scrap the whole project, saying that the current rail system was fine as is.

Attempts to reform and remove corruption from the Government of the Wu Empire fails once again, as any attempts to remove a corrupt official is suddenly blocked by more red tape from another official, creating an endless loop of red tape that makes it impossible to remove anyone. This did help, however, to bloat the Government’s budget.
[-10,000 Base Income from the Great Wu.]

In Southern China, a new series of railways are laid down by the Government, and they would serve many of the Chinese cities, and ensure that the people of China have the ability to move around the country, and to help move their goods around, helping the national economy expand.
[-393,421,808 元 from China. +3 Infrastructure to China in 4 turns.]

In a widely celebrated state visit, representatives of the Communes of France and the Empire of Great Wu met, in which the French were able to give several pointers towards reforming a Government along the lines of the French. The Wu Government, impressed by this, begin to be more and more receptive to the idea of a Commune-style Government. As the French were in Peking, they did offer some tips on the Empire of Wu’s Army, and soon the Chinese High Command was formed, based off the French Model.
[-899,376,493 元 from China. +2 Army Levels to China in 1 turn.]

In the port of Qingdao, the German Empire, now victorious in Europe, begins to increase and flex its muscles abroad. Long ago destroyed by an accident by an American ship, Qingdao had been in a state of disrepair, even as the Chinese attempted to try and clean it up somewhat. The Germans, however, decided to invest massive amounts of time and money into Qingdao. It would soon be unrivaled by anything the Germans did before, turning Qingdao from a wasteland into one of Asia’s more important ports. In doing this, it would benefit the Empire of Great Wu greatly.

Trade between the Empire of Great Wu and Czechoslovakia commence, after the Wu Emperor gives a large, personal, gift to the people of Czechoslovakia. It was a large shipment of priceless artifacts from ancient China that would be for the Czechs to appreciate the value of the friendship that China and the Czechs now enjoyed, to the point where the Wu Emperor trusted the Czechs with these priceless pieces of China’s History.
[Great Wu and Czechoslovakia now trading. +20 Prestige to Czechoslovakia. +10 Prestige to the Great Wu.]

In the Dutch East Indies, the Batavian Government decides to organise and to form the Royal Army of the Indies, which would serve to protect the people of the East Indies from any invasion.
[+39,295 Regulars to the Netherlands in 3 turns.]

The Batavian Parliament passes the “Universal Suffrage Act of 1920” and suddenly, thousands upon thousands of men and women in the East Indies, many of whom were natives, could now vote in elections. While an official census saying almost 40% of the citizens there were “Dutch” the other 60% were natives. As this happened, a few new political parties cropped up, none of them - surprisingly - called for independence.
[+450 Base to the Netherlands.]

As coal became more and more important with the recent collapse of oil, the Japanese Empire, looking to increase the amount of coal it produces, looks towards Korea and Manchuria to increase production and the mines. The most profitable mines are in Korea, where they do not have to pay taxes, as the Japanese Empire was able to assume complete control over economic regulation and taxes in Korea. But the mines in Manchuria were sufficiently profitable as well.
[+2,500 Base Income to Japan. -368,486,822 ¥ from Japan. +18,529,295 Gold to the Wu Empire.]

In Tokyo, the Japanese Radio Network is founded, with the purpose of giving news and reports to the Japanese people of things going on in the country and around the world. The JRN quickly begins to become the primary source of information about the events and going ons in not only Japan, but Asia itself.
[-166,188,453 ¥ from Japan. JRN created.]

Large amounts of funding is sent into improving the industrial output of the nation. The Government trusts it to an American company based out of a place called “Tammany Hall” in New York City. The Japanese, thinking this was going to be fine, dump money into this firm, and waits to find the results of what shall happen. They claim that the entire thing was finished within a few months, but when the Japanese went to look and see the factories, they were nothing more than empty buildings.
[-942,434,112 ¥ from Japan.]

Strict worker safety laws are passed in Japan, causing some industrialists to cry out against it, but all of the workers highly enjoyed these new regulations, and some of them were able to work harder and more efficiently, boosting the economy of Japan.
[+2 Industry to Japan. +1 Public Opinion to Japan. +30 Prestige to Japan.]

The Imperial Japanese Navy, wanting to expand their influence in the Pacific Ocean, ordered the construction of Dreadnought Ships, to help assert control over specific areas of vital importance to them, such as the Sea of Japan, and maybe even beyond that.
[-322,184,186 ¥ from Japan. +3 Dreadnoughts to Japan in 3 turns.]

A new Japanese Battleship that will soon sail across the Pacific Ocean.

Attempts to iron out and work out the problems caused by the switch to the radio do not go so well, as some of the radio transmissions were intercepted by radio waves coming from the Philippines, and it caused a ship to miss vital directions, and it ran aground on a shoal near the Philippines.
[-1 Cruiser from Japan.]

In the Dominion of Australia, people rejoice at the relative peace and prosperity their country is going through, as soldiers deployed across the seas return home. A parade takes place in Sydney, and thousands of citizens line the streets, cheering and applauding their men.

I had once thought the United Kingdom as to be proud nation, confident in it mastery of the seas, but much to my regret that time seems to be passing. Now in this new era we have a United Kingdom that is scared, indecisive and worst of all weak. We must not forget all those who suffered and died because of the British Army's failure to stop the German plague from sweeping over Europe. We must not forget the deaths of 31,663 Indian soldiers who died for nothing in the Crimea. For too long have we held our tongues, now we must demand answers!

Answers to why Britain let Germany dominate Europe, answers as to why it is letting Germany build a battle fleet that can blow the Royal Navy out of the water, answers to why it is committing such atrocities in Ireland, answers as to why it stopped the loving union of Sikkim and India and finally as to why it has not done anything to bring back peace and stability in the Middle East. I do not say these words because I am agitating for India's departure from the British Empire, I am merely trying to stop the British Empire from going down the path of madness and ruin. therefore in in honour for India's sacrifice in the Great War and our successes at uniting both Hindus and Muslims in India, I propose that the Dominion of India rethinks it's relationship with the United Kingdom.
