INTRODUCTION
The three wars that were raging in 1902 eventually tangled with each other into a full-blown World War by 1904, in which many nations and peoples were affected. For almost 8 years, the World War went on, and only in 1909 did it begin to gradually calm with treaties. By the end of 1910, the all-encompassing Treaty of Baku formally ended the First World War. However, the effects of the conflicts have been devastating on most participating nations No clear winner emerged
The alliances shifted continuously, with betrayals ripe as nations made treaties with others and a tangled web of diplomacy dragged people into the fighting. The USEA, its satellites, and its allies were named the Imperialist Alliance; the anti-USEA forces called themselves the Grand Coalition. For the first half of the War, until 1907, the USEA was still making a lot of victories. However, resources became strained. Soldiers who had been far away from home became demoralized.
In Africa, the Zulu Peoples Republic broke its pact with USEA and launched a campaign to regain its lost territory, allying with Denmark who invaded USEA holdings in Africa from its Cameroon colony. Eritrea, Sudan, and Ethiopia united into Abyssinia, and sided with the USEA but sent only economic aid rather than military assistance.
In Europe, the Scandinavians (as Norway-Sweden became) began regular attacks on USEA ships. Belgian and French Communists organized resistance, and used their knowledge of the land to surprise attack USEA troops. By 1908, the French Socialist Republic was restored, with neighboring Belgium becoming another Communist ally of France. Spain, which occupied Portugal and joined the USEA camp, was also troubled by Communists. When the King requested USEA troops to secure the government in 1907, the USEA occupied the Royal Palace and forced him to surrender power to the USEA Military Command, making Spain a satellite. The Germans and Poles meanwhile defeated the Triple Reich, Poland occupying Hungary and Germany annexing Bavaria and occupying Austria, in 1905. In 1907, both declared war on USEA.
Russia, meanwhile, defeated the TNR and established a puppet government in the Mongol areas.
The Chinese Communists were almost defeated by USEA troops until Japan and Korea sent their armies to East China and defended the capital, successfully foiling the USEA thrust and forcing the USEA to retreat to the border. West China succumbed to revolution in 1908 and a West Chinese Peoples Committee signed a reunification with East China, forming the Peoples Republic of China.
The USEA, while remaining strong in East Asia, was foiled on the other campaigns and lost many soldiers because of that. In America, the Iroquois and the Seminoles joined their countries into the United States of North America (USNA) and allied with USEA against Italy in 1906. USNA forces drove Italy out of the Caribbean by 1908 and then signed a cease-fire. Quickly after that, USNA declared war on Japan and successfully pushed the Japanese out of North America, taking over all of Oregon-Alaska.
Iceland allied with USEA and invaded British Canada while USEA troops attacked Britain-proper. Though USEA managed to occupy Britain, Iceland had less luck with Canada and the Canadians repelled the Icelandic invaders, pushing deep into North Canada. With the takeover of Britain by USEA, the Canadian Colonial Government, rather than swearing loyalty to USEA, declared independence as a parliamentary monarchy.
In Central Asia, when ethnic violence flared again, supposedly encouraged by USEA spies, the Russians were called in by the Government to interfere. The result was an occupation of the country by Russian troops, who forced new elections to be held, installing a pro-Russian republic in place of the short-lived communist regime.
By 1909, British independence movements, as well as Scandinavian troops, liberated Britain and restored the government, with the British being grateful and allying to Scandinavia.
Bosnia and Serbia joined into the Yugoslav Peoples Republic and invaded Romania to help the fledgling Romanian Socialists, establishing the Romanian Socialist Republic as a puppet state.
The Treaty of Baku was signed in February 1910, and basically contained the USEA within East Asia, forcing it to give its colonies independence. Spanish Communists took over the country and immediately allied with Communist France with the goal of exporting Communist Revolution. Yugoslavia was allowed to remain in control of Romania. Italy lost its Caribbean colonies but regained Gibraltar and North Africa. The Portuguese colony of Brazil has become independent due to Portugal being annexed by Spain. Russia has become the major power on the northern European-Asian landmass. The Triple Reich has been separated: Belgium has become a Communist satellite of France and while Austria-Hungary have been restored, it has been weakened and forced by Germany to adopt a democratic government. The Danish and Portuguese colonies have joined with Liberia into the West African Republic, with the democratic government being increasingly threatened by the strong Communist Party.
Many countries economies have been hurt by the war, even the neutral ones because many of the trade deals collapsed in the fighting. Aztec Empire, Mexico, and California have been forced to join into a federation to prevent total financial collapse and to prevent Communists from seizing control. The Incas have become increasingly communist as well, though they are still democratic.
A new ideology has formed, on the political radical opposite of Communism: Fascism. It is prevailing already among the people in countries most devastated by the war and those that were punished in the Baku settlement and is competing with the Communists who have also begun to exploit disillusionment. These countries include USEA, Austria-Hungary, Britain, Mongolia, Central America, Turkestan, and Central Asia, among others. In some, Communism is the prevailing form of radicalism, while in others Fascism is winning the votes of the people. Brazil, while not as hurt by the war, has become a Fascist Dictatorship to counter the threat of the Communists in Incaland.
Some royal states were forced to reform and become democratic, or were completely overthrown by Communists or Republicans.
OK, players, its 1911, a year after the signing of the Peace Treaty. We will start at January 1911. This time, the turns will be 6 months rather than 4 because it takes too long. So January, July, January, July, etc.
