I plan to write more events for Afghanistan General, but im waiting for a book to arrive.
ok.
i have a question, i do not get the idea of the effects of the previous event that you write:
action_a = {
name = "Deal with the Rebels!"
command = { type = dissent value = -5 }
}
action_b = {
name = "Allow some Amanullah Kahn reforms to take place"
command = { type = dissent value = 5 }
command = { type = alignment which = democractic value = 10 }
}
if you kill them, -5 dissent, BUT if you "allow" them, +5 and +10 democratic, why??? what would had happened if you allow them in real history?
They were a minority faction. Remember this guy got overthrown in a coup becuase he tried to reform the country too fast.
Well; this event makes option A to always be the preferred choice as B gives you a dissent hit and makes you more democratic (what would this do good to someone playing Afghanistan???), so maybe you should change the effects a bit too make choosing between both options a bit harder.
Thats the whole point..
its historical to not let the amanullah get power.. and its a rebellion, I dont think Zahir would've said, SURE LET THEM REBEL.

Maybe there would be some things for Zahir Shah upon oppressing the rebellion, like something destroyed or some dissent. At the moment it just seems stranges he oppresses a rebellion (wich are people against him thus dissent) and it only lower dissent. It just seems strange; maybe you could post a bit more on what happened, where it happened, why it happened, who supported the rebellion, how they took care of it and what effects it had???
As I said, its a minor group, a very minor group, that decided to cause a revolt, and it failed overall. The majority of the population hated Amanullah Kahn. The only thing I could see is lowering the supplies to simulate the operation. Which I will do.
Sounds better already Maybe adding a benefit for allowing some reforms, like mp increase to simulate his forces helping you? Or IC or resources to simualte democratization and thus more westeren influence?

Its fine like it is. Anything further is speculatoy, and im not going to get into the different factors such as popular uprising for collaborating with Amanulllah.
Description for Lebanon for CORE
Lebanon.desc
Homeland of the ancient Phoenecians, the region that would become modern Lebanon came under Ottoman Turkish rule in 1516. As diverse religiously as it is in terms of its geography, by the mid-nineteenth century tensions between the Maronites, an Arab Christian community that recognized Papal supremacy, Sunni and Shi`a Muslims and the Druze would explode in intercommunal conflict in 1860. France, hoping to expand its influence in the Levant and claiming to be the protector of "Latin" Christians in the Ottoman territories, pressured the Ottoman state to grant Lebanon self-government under local Maronite leaders, leading to the creation of Mount Lebanon sanjak around Beirut in which the French wielded strong influence. Self-government would lead to Beirut's rise as a major commercial port, and raise the influence of the Maronites within Lebanon. Prosperity and French influence also brought about increased interest in Western political, economic and social ideas and the relative freedom of the territory allowed Beirut to become the second center of Arab nationalism after Cairo. World War I would end this era of prosperity as the sanjak was put back under the direct rule of the Ottoman governor of Syria based in Damascus and repression against Maronite leaders, seen as pro-French, was instituted. As per the secret Anglo-French Sykes-Picot agreement, the defeat of the Ottomans in World War I would see Lebanon fall into the French sphere of influence in the Arab world. The French would quickly come to see the Maronites as their strongest allies in the region, leading to the their separation of Mount Lebanon and a large stretch of predominantly Muslim territory from Syria into a separate mandate of Grand Lebanon in 1924. The borders were drawn in such a way as to ensure the maximum amount of territory for the new state but retaining a majority Christian population, something that was supported by Maronites but resented by Muslims and Druze and who would have preferred to remain in Syria as well as non-Maronite Christian communities. By terms of the mandate France was obliged to prepare Lebanon for eventual self-government and independence, a goal that many in France (and some Maronites) hopes to stretch out indefinitely while most Muslims and Druze and many Christians demanded be achieved rapidly. After serious strikes in 1925, the French would grant a constitution creating a Lebanese republic in which positions of power in the state were divided along confessional lines with the Maronites in dominant postions and with the French retaining huge amounts of authority in all areas of public life. For the next ten years Lebanese politics would revolve around negotiations with the French to create a more balanced political system to represent Lebanon's religious reality, the effort to reduce direct French oversight over Lebanese affairs and struggles among the elite of Maronite society to control what power the Lebanese were granted. The establishment of a treaty between Britain and Iraq that ended the mandate there in 1932 added further impetus to change and in 1936 a new treaty modeled on the Iraqi formula was negotiated between the French and Lebanese which pleased most of the Maronite leadership and key members of the Sunni Muslim, Shi`i Muslim and Druze leadership. However many Muslims still preferred the idea of reunion with Syria, many on the right in France saw the treaty as a dangerous loss of French influence in the region at a time of growing tensions in Europe, and even some Maronites felt the new parliamentary system was not the best solution to protect their interests, looking for alternatives in quasi-fascist movements such as the al-Kata'ib (Phalange) recently established by Pierre Jumayyil. Whether the 1936 Agreement would be a viable route to complete France's mandate responsibilities thus remained an open question.

Syria description for CORE HoI
Syria_desc.
Conquered by the Ottomans in 1516, the lands that would become modern Syria consisted of parts of the Ottoman vilayets of Damascus and Aleppo. As the Ottomans undertook a modernization program in the nineteenth century in an attempt to preserve its territorial integrity and increase the authority of Istanbul over the provinces, new Western ideas about politics, society and the economy began to filter into the region along with increasing Western economic penetration, challenging the traditional authority of local Arab Sunni Muslim elites. As the Young Turks undertook a program of Turkification after 1908 for the Ottoman Empire's elites, the local elites of Syria began to turn to Arabism, with some hoping to transform the Ottoman state into a Turkish-Arab Dual Empire that would preserve their traditional influence and a few even calling for independence. Severe repression by the Young Turks of these Arabists, combined with the strains of World War I, would lead to the conquest of Syria by the forces of the Arab Revolt in 1918. Having been promised the leadership of an independent Arab state in exchange for leading revolt against the Ottomans, Sharif Husayn's son Faysal moved in 1919 to declare himself ruler of Syria based in Damascus. A secret arrangement between Britain and France to divide the Arab possessions of the Ottomans, the Sykes-Picot Agreement, placed Syria in the French sphere and they soon demanded Faysal recognize French overlordship. When Faysal refused, the French invaded Syria and drove Faysal out in 1920. From that point on the French would have to contend with Muslim Syrian hostility to their control of the League of Nations mandate. To meet this challenge, the French attempted to divide Syria into smaller states in which minority groups would dominate - successfully implemented in the creation of Lebanon in 1924 and also used to grant limited autonomy to the `Alawi of the Syrian coast, the Druze in the Mountains southwest of Damascus, and the Kurds east of the Euphrates River. This did little to gain the French support of most of the majority Muslims of Syria, and in 1925 revolt would again threaten French power, leading to complaints in the League of Nations that France was not fulfilling its Mandate responsibilities. By 1927 the Revolts would be crushed, and in 1930 the French would attempt to create a "independent" republic in which minority groups preserved much autonomy and the French retained a dominant position. The majority Muslim communities rejected this solution and continued to agitate for greater control, something which had been gained by Iraq in 1932 from the British. In 1936, following a further outbreak of riots across Syria, the French would sign an agreement granting Syria much more control over its own affairs and ending the local autonomy enjoyed by minority areas, gaining the support of some key members of the Sunni Muslim elite in Damascus and Aleppo. Yet the 1936 treaty faced many challenges. Some radical Syrian Muslim nationalists, led by Dr `Abd al-Rahman Shahbandar, rejected it as too little, demanding full independence, the reunification of Lebanon with Syria and the withdrawl of French troops. The `Alawi and Druze communities resented the restoration of Sunni Muslim dominance and demanded the restoration of local self-rule, while the Turks in Alexandretta (al-Iskandariyya, Hatay) demanded reunion with Turkey. And many on the French right vowed to fight the passage of the treaty by the French Chamber of Deputies, arguing it reduced France's power in a key region at a time of growing threats in Continental Europe. That the 1936 Treaty was to become the basis of France's fulfillment of its mandate responisbilities seemed very much an open question.

So the status of Syria is that it goes from occupied territory of France to puppet in '36? Or that's what I read in the Syrian description.
thanks for the desc, we need to find a way to add it in the game...
before anyone tells me "modify the text.csv", i know, modifying the text.csv will do that, but i cannot include it in the mod, because every distributor has his own text.csv, so anyone can find problems with the translated versions (maybe even with PAN vs SF versions, both in english).

Alexandretta-Iskendrun
Aleppo was not handed over in '36 (or ever, it is still part of Syria) - in 1939 the sanjak of Alexandretta, a district of the vilayet of Aleppo, was ceded to Turkey by the French at the strong disapproval of the Syrian Arabs. A bit more background, when the borders of the Syrian mandate were hammered out in the early 20s the French ceded to Turkey the Cilicia region (Diyarbakir on the HoI map) that had been part of the old Ottoman province of Aleppo but which Mustafa Kemal's armies had successfully seized in 1921. The sanjak of Alexandretta had a 40% Turkish, 30% Muslim Arab and 30% other (Armenians, Alawi, Chrstian Arabs) remained on the Syrian side. The Turks in the province resented being left outside Turkey and clamoured for being returned to Turkey throughout the 1930s. The 1936 constitution for Syria attempted to centralize power in Damascus, something the Turks feared would end the degree of local self-government they (as well as the `Alawi, Druze and Kurds in their own regions) had enjoyed, and the Ataturk regime in Turkey pressed the French on the issue. With Hitler's power growing rapidly in Europe, the French and British wanted to get on Ankara's good side and so in 1939 a deal was reached that in the end gave Alexandretta to Turkey, leading to an exodus of much of the provinces non-Turkish population and raising the ire of Syrians, who to this day still claim the territory as part of "Greater Syria" along with Lebanon and, for some, Palestine and Jordan (both of which were within the control of the governors of Damascus during the Ottoman Era.) I am working on an event for this that will increase dissent in Syria 15% and shift Turkey's alignment towards democracy a bit, but this transfer can't be represented on the map because the territory is too small (and the mapmakers already included it in Turkey)
