1934-1936: Five Year Peace Plan
As Australian forces scurried for cover, American forces in Chile heavily bombed the beaches and bases of Santiago. Browder declared that if the Australians made headway in Chile, the Monroe Doctrine would be in peril.
Furthermore, Italian forces in Venezuela and Trinidad posed to cut off South America from Washington. After an extensive military campaign against the large Italian forces in Venezuela, Browder announced a victory and the annexation of Venezuela.
South African and Italian ships continued to pillage and blockade the eastern coasts. For months, citizens on the beaches would hear the large pounding of fierce American ships overhead. One by one, jet fighters would be given orders to swoop down and shoot at the enemy ships. The tactic was successful as America began regaining the coasts.
In Alaska, over 30,000 former Pacific Columbians were amassed and launched a massive offensive against Anchorage. Facing a more advanced and better equiped tank division, the offensive was a complete failure and resulted in over 21,000 Alaskan, Idaho, Washington, and Oregonian deaths with the rest either missing or put in the West Virginian concentration camps.
The Conference of Dublin
July 4th, 1934
Dublin, South Ireland, United Socialist States of America
Following years of war between the "Commonwealths" (Australia, South Africa, secessionists, Britain) and the USSA, Earl Browder and other world leaders prepared one of the most important diplomatic conferences in world history. Seated behind a sign bearing "United Socialist States", Browder renounced foreign claims of dictatorship as propaganda, and pointed out the improved working conditions and life quality of America. Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of Britain, along with President Stanley Bruce of Australia, thoroughly discussed peace plans. Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler were also present. After tens of hours of discussion and behind-the-scene negotiations, a peace treaty was drafted. In exchange for tribute from fascist Italy, and surrendering of Ireland back to the British Union, the Polly War/Comintern Schism would finally be put to an end with a peace treaty lasting a minimum of 5 Years. James Connolly, Irish Socialist Labor candidate, had his remains shipped back to Dublin in the form of ash. In exchange for modern tank technology, Australia and its commonwealths gave a large sum of money and agreed to peace with Egypt. Egypt thoroughly thanked America, as Sudan was weeks away from annexation by South African and Malinese forces.
Following the peace treaty, borders re-opened and the world quickly calmed down. Politicians, afraid of starting another world war, walked on their toes and tried not to cross any lines. The American movie industry boomed, especially in Indonesia, Italy, and England. Some protests arose accusing Hollywood of supporting Browder. Nevertheless, Browder ended the war, and post-poned any potential invasions on the American homeland. Italian claims to Trinidad and Australian claims to South Chile were upheld, and they quickly became centers of military.
The next few months were calm. Communist programs expanded, public projects such as Browderville kicked off, and the government took a revived interest in maintaining the happiness of the people. A notable news event, in January of 1935, was the crashing of a Mexican plane in Panama. Upon interrogation, the SESTAP gained useful information on the where-bouts of Trotskyists, and Trotsky himself.
Leading up to the next election, the fishing industries were heavily helped by the government. The Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern coast once again became populated with fishing, and the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico re-opened.
Looking at statistics, Browder noticed that the stability of the nation was leveling out, and expansion was no longer a concern. Meeting with the Party, he discussed plans to further stabilize the nation. His top two priorities for his next term were to strengthen the military by both naval and air production along with military training and continuing the draft, and improving the economy by strengthening trade with Communist nations.
