Iraq Coup

[zalk12]

I have a question is there an event to support the 1941 Iraq Coup like Germany did in the actual time

Probably not, but you could do it "manually" with guns and political power if you want

 

[FOARP]

Yeah, people need to get away from asking "is there an event for X?" and instead ask "Can I do X?". Events are basically soft-code designed to make up for the fact that there are some things that occurred historically that the game-engine cannot simulate any other way. With each new episode in the series, however, the game-engine has become (broadly speaking) more powerful and more capable of simulating various types of historical occurences.

I didn't see it in the national focus tree but like Foarp said you can probably do it yourself.

In Darkest Hour, when the coup event fires and Iraq joins the axis, an event fires for Germany that lets them support Iraq. Of course, in real life, this only happened because the axis was approaching the Middle East... But in DH, you usually just see Iraq get shredded from all sides by GB since the event is on a timer and has nothing to do with the position of armies.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how this event will be modeled in HOI4.

It is tough to model because it also leads to a quasi-war with the Vichy in Syria, and how do you model a UK Vichy war in Syria (and Madagascar) but not an all out war in other colonies?

Rebels?

I'm pretty sure that HOI4 won't be able to tackle this at launch. I'm equally sure that if the launch is a success they'll eventually get around to solving this in a DLC.

A whole DLC just for the coup in Iraq...?

This is starting to sound like CK2...

I'm pretty sure you're joking, but just in case (this being the internets) I'm talking about a mechanism that can handle the loosening of ties between a metropolitan state (e.g., Vichy France) and its colonies (e.g., Syria) and allow conflict with colonies to break out without resulting in all-out war.

Today's DD is about Diplomacy IIRC, so there may be some information on supporting a puppet to rebel.
