I have created this thread because quite frankly the backgrounds take too much room and clutter the first page of the thread. Perhaps other articles will be added as time goes on, particularly a timeline for year by year details on the NES. The following is organized by continent, though Europe has been split into two sections as many countries have appeared and disappeared there since the start of the NES. These backgrounds include different governments for some of the same nations, most notoriously Russia which has undergone three significant reforms since the onset of the NES. So far this is an incomplete effort and only consists of the backgrounds which have previously been available on the thread itself.

A "*" by a nation's name means that nation no longer exists as of the present date.

Future Projects For This Thread:

-List of Significant Treaties and Conferences, and their events and results.

-List of Wars as described from individual military campaigns and (hopefully) contributions from those who planned them.

-Timeline of events from 1910-2009 (basically a summary of all that takes place of significance in an update)

Anyone who would like to contribute by analyzing treaties, conferences, major battles, just post a description here and I'll organize it all.

-Update Page #s: All page numbers assume 20 posts per page.

North/Central America:

-Canada*

-Haiti*

-Honduras (1937-present)
Following the onset of the Great Depression, the United Provinces of Central America suffered an economic collapse that was even worse than their northern neighbor's. With skyrocketing unemployment, the government had no choice but to accept President Lindbergh's offer of annexation. However, due to international pressure, the USA allowed a plebscite to determine if the merger was by popular mandate. Only the province of Honduras declined. Following a year of turmoil, a general rose to the top and proclaimed himself the first king of Honduras. Since then, Honduras has remained poor and backwards, only the minute upper class enjoying the luxuries of life.

-Mexico*(1821-1917)
President Jose Diaz 1908-1911
President Franscico Madero 1911-1913
General Carranza 1913-1917

-Nicaragua:
General Jose Cuervo 1909-1927
King Anastasio 1927-present
During the Great War, two nations moved to consolidate their power in Central America. In the south, Nicaraguan troops moved into and occupied Costa Rica, despite heavy jungle fighting. The army planned to move south and take what land it could from the collapsing nation of Columbia, but was thwarted by US military presence. After brief skirmishes and border fighting, a demilitarized zone was established and the two armies uneasily entered peace time. In the early 1920s, Nicaraguan militarists led the effort for a war against the UPCA and its devolved into a bloody stalemate. With the proclamation of a monarchy in 1926, Nicaragua joined the American Accord in alliance. From 1926 for the next ten years, Nicaragua would begin paving the way for research into the new fields of aeronautics and rocketry, establishing the center of research for the Accord. As one of the two economic powerhouses of the Accord, Nicaragua was the center of Central American Trade and development. However with the United States Congressional Massacre in 1936, that changed overnight. Evidence from Council of Nations investigation pointed directly at the American Accord, and the United States delivered an ultimatum to all nations within the Accord. Nicaragua was the only nation to accept, demobilizing 75% of its army and all of its navy. During and since the Third World War, Nicaragua has continued to lead the way in American aeronautics research and even has begun taking a greater role internationally, sending forces to the United Nations Coalition in New Zion.

-United Provinces of Central America (1904-1937):During the Great War, Guatemala moved into its long claimed territories of both Belize and El Salvador, fighting token British forces with American assistance. With the great victory over the British, the Guatemalan government met at the final conference, and with French and American support managed to pressure the government of Honduras into unification, recreating the United Provinces of Central America. The Great Depression broke apart this feeble union in a single year. As turmoil threatened to engulf the nation, President Lindbergh of the United States offered annexation and American troops to calm the populace. By popular vote San Salvador, Guatemala, and Belize became the first three purely Hispanic states in the USA.

-United States of America (1776-present):
President Theodore Roosevelt: 1906-1920
President Calvin Coolidge: 1920-1924
President Franklin Roosevelt: 1924-1927
President John Nance Garner: 1927-1928
President Alfred Smith: 1928-1932
President Charles Lindbergh: 1932-1944
President James Byrnes: 1944-1948
President Douglas MacArthur: 1948-present
The United States was one of the biggest winners in the Great War. With the annexation of Canada and the occupation of much of the Caribbean, the US economy boomed in the years following the War. Following the Statehood Amendment in 1911, the United States has admitted half a dozen new states into the Union from Canada and the Pacific. The 2nd Mexican War from 1916-1917 led to the Mexican Exodus in which the American government under President Roosevelt deported over 5 million Mexicans to Liberia. In the 1920s the United States mantained a policy of isolationism, providing limited economic aid to China and Italy throughout the Second Global War. The refusal of both of these nations to pay as quickly as the USA desired inevitably led to the embargo of Europe and the raids on China, which helped exacerbate the effects of the crippling Depression. The 1932 election brought the Progressive Party back to power under charismatic Charles Lindbergh. His programs quickly began revitalizing the American economy and he began modernizing and rebuildign the American military. Following the 1936 Congressional Massacre, the United States blamed the American Accord for the attack. Following the refusal of the subsequent ultimatum, the United States declared war on the American Accord, sparking the Third World War. American forces would proceed to fight on every front in the Americas and Europe. The breakthrough in Peru and the hardfought battle of Hamburg quickly turned the tide for the Atlantic Treaty Organization and American forces crushed the remnants of the Accord and even made it into Moscow before the war's conclusion in 1944. The dropping of the atomic bomb on the city of Stalingrad sealed the fate for the remaining Allied forces. However the German Civil War and the Italian attack on the bomber carrying an atomic bomb destined for Athens disillusioned America with Europe and its allies there. Since the end of the war, the American people kept a "hands-off" attitude towards Europe, avoiding entanglements with most of the nations on the mainland continent. Only actions in Norway, concluding with the Scandinavian recognition of Norway as a nation in 1951, kept Americans fighting in Europe. To the south following the war, the United States has kept up a persistent battle with the underground remnants of the Venezuelan military. Even to this date the Venezuelans have kept a constant fight against the Americans. As the first nation to achieve nuclear weapons, the United States looks to safeguard itself and its allies from rising threats abroad.
 
-Argentina: As the only South American country to fight against the British, Argentina won big, securing the Falklands and moving into Paraguay and Uruguay in late 1903. Since the end of the Great War Argentina has persued a peaceful policy towards its neighbors. Since the end of the Tehran Pact, Argentina's American Accord has pursued a hard fought path to unify South America. After two separate wars with Chile and Brazil, a unified continent seemed a distant prospect. However, alliance with Brazil soon bore fruit for the American Accord. Only Chile remained isolated from an united South America. However, all of Argentina's efforts were shattered after the Congressional Massacre in 1936. South Africa quickly supported their American allies against Brazil and Argentina, launching an invasion. The combined efforts of the South Africans and Chileans smashed the Argentine resistance after four long years of combat. Following several years of South African occupation, unrest led by Eva Duartes brought about elections and a new Socialist regime in Argentina. Since then, Argentina has promised a new era of peace and prosperity to South America.

-Bolivia: Having experienced a good deal of economic prosperity in the late 1800s, Bolivia was on the decline following the Great War. However, thanks to American and Argentinan aid, Bolivia has modernized its forces and retook its claims from Chile. Following the successful defeat of Chile in 1918, Bolivia has been considered the foremost power in South America. This changed when without warning Chile managed to smash Bolivian forces in less than a year. Without the aid of the American Accord and Argentina it seems unlikely that Bolivia can mantain its place in South American politics.

-Brazil: The expansion of Argentina during the Great War greatly angered Brazil and escalated tensions between the two countries. These were further exacerbated in 1912 when Argentina joined the Tehran Pact and Brazil joined the Common Front International. Despite Argentina's brief membership of the CFI in 1919, tensions remained high until 1920, when war at last broke out. The ensuing defeat and the following wars left Brazil with a battered, but not broken economy.

-Chile: After nearly two decades of turmoil, with a successful war against Peru and Bolivia in the early 1880s and a civil war in 1891, the nation of Chile had finally stabilized politically. Due to the potential threat caused by the original American Accord in 1911, Chile joined Brazil in the Common Front International. After the constant international scandals which rocked the Accord in 1916-1917, Chile left the alliance, only to be brutally defeated in war by Bolivia in 1918 and by Argentina in 1925. Chile's new government promises that one day those wrongs will be righted.
Ecuador: Ecuador, the tiny country sandwiched between American-held Columbia and Peru, has struggled in recent years. Eloy Alfaro’s revolution 1895 greatly reduced the power of the Catholic Church in the country, bringing more control to the people. Republican reform has brought democracy to Ecuador with Argentine aid, and they remain stalwart members of the American Accord.

-Peru: With the loss of the War of the Pacific to Chile, Peru hit some devastatingly tough economic times. The downfall of the Peruvian economy caused the government to cut its military budget to almost nil. However, after the formation of the American Accord and the Tehran Pact, Peru has been closely tied to Bolivia's fate.

-People's Republic of Brazil*

-Venezuela: General Gomez kept Venezuela barely out of the Great War, particularly with the major naval fighting between American and British forces off of his northern coast. Since then Venezuela pursued a policy of neutrality until it joined the American Accord in 1923. A growing naval power, Venezuela is a vital part of the strength of the South American alliance.
 
-Albania (1910; 1927-present): In 1910 Albanian nationalists rebelled against Greek occupation and they were brutally put down by a combined force from the Common Front International. With the conclusion of the Second Global War in 1927, the Brotherhood of Islamic Nations forced the world to recognize the new Islamic states of Albania and Bosnia, giving the Muslims a foothold in Europe.

-Austria-Hungary*

-Belguim (1915-present): The small nation of Belguim was reformed at the end of the Communist War in 1915. Since then the region, once a communist stronghold in France, has had a developing capitalist economy sponsored by German business. This changed with the separate peace made with the European League in 1925. Belguim is now a member of the EL as ideologies struggle to the top, with the Socialists only barely managing to stay in power.

-Bosnia (1927-present): Bosnia is one of the two nations created in the Balkans by the victorious Brotherhood of Islamic Nations at the end of the Global War. With Serbia opposed to the very existance of their nation, Bosnian rulers continue to look to Mecca for aid.

-Bulgaria (1903-present): Bulgaria, a former Ottoman province, is one of the many nations liberated as a result of the Great War. The young nation, given full autonomy from the Turks by the Russians after the war, sought to find its place in Balkans politics. Due to Greek, Serbian, and Russian pressure in 1912, Bulgaria joined in alliance with Russia. However, this alliance was broken with the end of the Second Global War when Dar-al-Islam installed an unpopular Islamic leadership over the population and handed a large amount of territory over to Romania. With suppression of Christianity it can be only a matter of time before the small Balkan nation explodes.

-Congress of British Workers*(1905-1915)

-Denmark*

-Eire (1904-present): During the Great War, Irish citizens and deserting soldiers rose up and attempted to throw off the chains of English oppression. With the help of the Irish American Brigade, led by Patrick Joseph Kennedy, they have succeeded in establishing an American style republic, free of British rule, for the first time in centuries. Relations soured between the United States and Eire following the Mexican Exodus of 1917-1920, leading to Eire's break from the Tehran Pact in 1918. Following the collapse of the Tehran Pact in 1920, Eire led the free nations of Wales and Scotland into alliance with Italy in the European League. The role of the Celts in the Second Global War was vital in knocking out France and Germany and proved that the Irish were a formidable foe to fight. With the ruins of France becoming a popular destination for Irish unemployed, a new Ireland on the continent may not be such an unlikely future.

-English Empire (1914-1918)

-France*

-French People's Republic* (1913-1915)

-Germany (1871-present): The Germanic principalities, unified after the Franco-Prussian War, quickly asserted their dominance in Europe. Under the leadership of Otto von Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm, Germany made great gains in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. The alliance formed with Russia in 1911 has lasted to this day and the Germans and Russians fought alongside eachother in the Communist War and have acted together in global politics. Dispite major tensions caused by the loss of a large German army in Indochina during the Sino-French War, Germany mantained the peace in Europe. In 1920, as the Austrian-Hungarian Empire slowly collasped, Germany moved in, annexing German majority provinces and throwing the Balkans into turmoil. Those Balkan regions were soon lost to Italy in the Second Global War and so was Holland. With a new constitution and elections, will the Kaiser keep power or will radicals win the day?

-Greece: The ancient nation of Greece, at the seat of the Balkans, has suffered its own share of turmoil since the end of the Great War. The Albanian Revolt of 1910 forced Greece to enter Russia's orbit and it remained there until 1916, when it broke its ties with the Common Front International and joined the Tehran Pact. Though Greece was on the winning side in the Second Global War they still lost territory to the Muslims which paved the way for the 1929 communist revolution in the nation. Now allied with the USSR, Greece has once more joined with Russia in a unified cause.

-Holland (1927-present): Though most of the Dutch empire was divided between Germany and Nippon in the Great War, nationalism grew in Europe. A popular plebiscite in 1928 following the League's victory in the Second Global War brought about the establishment of the new Dutch nation. Now radicals struggle for power as the economy disintegrates in the wake of the Depression.

-Holy Russian Empire* (1904-1915)

-Hungary (1920-present): With a monarchy directly formed from the remnants of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in 1920, Charles IV has formed a new, nationalist Hungarian nation. However, Hungary faces threats on all sides. In the Balkans Germany mantains control over tumultuous Balkan minorities. With the conclusion of the Second Global War large tracts of land went to Poland and Romania, and the King promised revenge for the Hungarian people.

-Imperial Russian Republic* (1915-1925)

-Italy (1858-present): Following the Great War, Italy made massive gains at the expense of the British Empire. The fall of Malta, Egypt, Crete, and Palestine secured Italian control of the Mediteranean Sea. The Communist War led to Italian dominance over the nations of Iberia, and the siezure of the remnants of the Spanish Empire in 1915. The annexation of French North Africa in 1917, and the 1920 annexation of the Balkans coastline on the Adriatic has effectively turned the Mediteranean into an Italian lake. The formation of the European League helped consolidate what many called a new Roman Empire. Victory in the Second Global War seemed to confirm this statment. However with an American embargo, the League seems to be coming apart as Spain's monarchy is reborn and revolution breaks Greece away from the alliance.
 
-People's Republic of Iberia* (1913-1914)

-Poland (1920-present): Jozef Pilsudski led the Poles in uprising against the Russians, Austrians, and Germans in 1918. Though he was unable to actually defeat the Common Front forces in 1919, his military did manage to hold them back from Warsaw. The Polish victory forced Germany's hand and after a popular plebiscite, the nation of Poland was formed in 1920. Fighting alongside the European League in the Second Global War, Poland managed to sieze territory from Hungary and significantly expand its military power. Now with a radical communist regime installed in 1930, it is a toss up whether Warsaw will look to Rome or St. Petersburg.

-Portugal*

-Romania (1917-present): Romania was the first region to leave the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in 1917, following the Polish Rebellion. National Romanians from the Empire's military have formed the backbone of hte nation's defensive force. Victory with the European League in the Second Global War has doubled Romania's size and made them the strongest economic power in the Balkans.
Scotland: Established in 1916 with the aid of American Senator Winston Churchill, Scotland was formed from the ruins of the Congress of British Workers. Scotland served as a valuable ally to Eire and Italy in the Second Global War and continues to be a major part of the European League to this day.

-Serbia: A 1903 military coup threw out the old Serbian dynasty established King Peter as the new ruler of the small Balkan state. Serbia has since provided Russia with a small amount of supporting soldiers and a strong ally in the Balkans in the Albanian Revolt, the Communist War, and the other conflicts which Russia found itself involved in. In the Second Global War Serbian armies almost defeated Greece until the Muslims intervened. Despite the loss of the war, the opportunities to get revenge on the Muslims still remain quite apparent with Serbia's new allegiance to the European League.

-Spain: Despite the agreement of the Treaty of Aviles ultimately leading to the coalition of nations against the British Empire, Spain did not partake in the spoils of the victory against the English. As a result, they were inable to defend themselves against the Nipponese in 1910 or against the communist uprising in 1912. In exchange for Gilbralter and the remnants of their empire, Spain managed to secure their nation in the Communist War with Italian aid. Now with a new king on the throne who has unified Iberia peacefully and seems to be on the course to restore Bourbon power, Spain has left Italy's shadow to forge its own path.

-Sweden-Norway*

-Switzerland: Since the formation of the Council of Nations, Switzerland has played a significant part on the global scene. They have been the main proponent of internationalization, and the end of tariff restriction. However, the nationalist agendas of the rest of the world have left the small European nation mostly alone in its goals, only occasionally supported by Scandinavia or Liberia. With its admitance to the European League in 1928 and its end of support for the Council of Nations, a new era of support for Italy could be on the horizon.

-Union of Commonwealth States (1918-present): India, the crown jewel of the British Empire, became the last bastion of the Royal family and British military at the end of the Great War. The marrige of George V to an Indian princess in 1911 and the formation of an Indian Parliament in 1913 brought Indian and English pride together. After the victory in the Communist War in 1916, the Russian and German governments proceeded to return England to control of the King, though Wales and Scotland were lost to independance movements. In 1918, the English Empire was reformed into the Union of Commonwealth States, and they remained unchallened until a vengeful China attacked in 1926. The brutal conflict left millions of Indians and Burmese dead and more homeless. With peace made in 1930, the UCS could pursue ties with the European League or perhaps even with the United States.

-Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1925-present): After the hard won fall of Constantinople in 1904, the Holy Russian Empire was proclaimed by the Tsar. In the years following, Russia was hurt by inner turmoil, particularly following the conclusion of the Communist War. This paved the way for the formation of the Imperial Russian Republic in 1915, led by Minister Stolypin. The aftermath of the Turkish Rebellion and the Second Global War saw the election of Trotsky in 1925 and his coup to create the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1927. As a bastion of communism, the USSR has created the Comitern, a global alliance for the Soviet cause.

-United Kingdoms of Scandinavia (1912-present): After the Great war, the nations of Scandinavia went their own way, Sweden-Norway went one way and Denmark went another. Yet over the course of the years, national friction on their boarders and the threat of another war drove Sweden-Norway and Denmark closer together. In 1912, The two Countries were amalgamated into one large Nation, The United Kingdoms of Scandinavia. In 1915, the Russian Tsar, and the Scandinavian King conducted talks, and subsequently Finland was bought for a steal from Russia, welcoming their new King and their new allegience. Despite agreements with Russia, in 1918 Scandinavia broke away from the Common Front International, forging a new path of isolationism and neutrality. They have pursued this path, even in the midst of the Second Global War and they now provide territory for the headquarters of the Council of Nations.

-Wales (1916-present): Wales was formed in 1916, following the Communist War. Though very little remains of the republic's old Celtic heritage, and the population is majority English, Wales remains heavily influenced by old communist policy. Despite this and the ensuing effects of the Great Depression, they have increased much private industry and enterprise with the rest of the world, particularly their wartime allies in Eire and the European League. On the horizon however ties become closer and closer with the Comitern and it may not be long until they join in alliance with the USSR.
 
-Abyssinia: After the death of the Emperor Selassie, his son vowed to create a new African Empire revolving around Addis Abba. Attempts to invade and occupy French Djbouti during the Communist War failed as the European colonial powers united against the upstart Africans. In the Second Global War Abyssinia managed to double its land size when it seized Italian Somalia, a region it has always had historic claims to. With Italy and Germany struggling to mantain their empires, Abyssinia has
bright prospects for the future.

-Algeria*

-Azerbajan (1925-present): With the collapse of Russia in the Second Global War in 1925, the following treaty led to the recognition of Georgia and Azerbajan as free nations. The following year saw Islamic Azerbajan join the Brotherhood of Islamic Nations in alliance.

-Boer Republic* (1901-1926)

-Dar-al-Islam (1903-present): The conflict between Ibn Saud and the Sharif Hussein had raged in the Arabian Peninsula for some time. During the Great War, both took different sides, Hussein staying with his British backers and Saud getting funding from some of the Allies. After the British defeat, Hussein was tried and executed and Saud was proclaimed the new Caliphate of Islam. Since the end of the war, the Caliph has diplomatically extended his influence. With the Mecca Religious Conference in 1917 paving the way for the Brotherhood of Islamic Nations in 1918, Dar-al-Islam was well prepared to take advantage of the Second Global War. Victory in that conflict doubled the size and strength of the Brotherhood and now the cause for unified Islam is stronger than ever.

-Georgia*

-Liberia: The small nation of Liberia is the only Republic in the entire continent of Africa. However since the 1911 election, the nation has been firmly run by the Edgis Conglomerate. The corporate control of the nation led to the 1915 annexation of much of French West Africa, and the nation multiplied nearly ten times in size. In exchange for American aid and support, Liberia allowed large numbers of forced Mexican deportees to live in their nation. They paid for their decision when the nation broke apart as a result of the New York Stock Exchange collapse in 1929. Now the remnants of the Liberian government stuggle to rebuild and restore Liberia's place in African politics.

-Mexican Free State: The 2nd Mexican War in 1916 brought about American annexation of Mexico. Following this to the condemnation of the world, the USA being shipping millions of Mexicans to Liberia. When political pressure finally forced the USA to stop, Liberia had a massive new minority. The very symbol of an oppressed proletariat, the Mexican Free State represents the heart of communism in Africa.

-New France (1929-present): In 1910 France seemed to be one of the greatest beneficiaries of the British Empire. By 1929 the illusion disappeared and France ceased to exist as an European nation. Charles de Gualle led an armored division to what was Liberia, reclaiming territory as wrongfully taken French land. With the Monrovia Conference of 1930 garunteeing its borders, de Gaulle hopes to one day restore French influence in the world.

-Palestine* (1929-1930)

-Persia: With the collapse of the Shah's regime in 1908, Persia has left its long term status as a medieval backwater and started on the long road to modernization. With extensive support from hired American contracters, Persia has managed to hold together its republic since the end of the previous dynasty. One of the founding members of the Tehran Pact in 1912, Persia has since left the defunct alliance in 1917, helping lead the modernization of the Brotherhood of Islamic Nations since their formation in 1918.

-Republic of South Africa (1926-present): When the rest of the world declared war on the United Kingdom, the English were forced to prematurely end their war against the rebellious Boers. Granting the Boers independence and sovereignty over the northern lands of the South African territory, the British mobilized their forces there to fight in Canada and India. Following the end of the Great War the Boers have used the Tehran Pact to further their territorial ambitions and claims, having purchased South Africa, Mozambique, and Madagascar from the UCS, Portugal, and France respectively. In the Second Great War, despite a solid stream of military defeats, the Boers reformed into a democracy and managed to gain Angola from the faltering nation of Portugal.

-Sokoto (1929-present): Following the collapse of the Edgis-Ford Corporation, a collection of tribal leaders in central Liberia met and agreed to recrown the old king of Sokoto. This new regime was recognized by the other African states at the Monrovia Conference of 1930. The new monarchy hopes to further the cause of indiginous people of Africa.

-Turkey (1910-present): The Turkish rebellion began in 1910 under Enver Pasha, and met with moderate success. Heavy fighting against Russian military forces would lead to the Russian republic recognizing some minimal autonomous power for Pasha. Pasha agreed to collaborate with the Russian government, and remained able to hold Turkey down until Colonel Ataturk led the nationalists in rebellion in 1919. Turkey's de facto independance paved the way for the Second Global War in Europe and ultimately led to it falling under radical Islamic influence with the death of Ataturk in 1924.

-West African Union (1929-present)
 
-Afghanistan: The small, mountainous country of Afghanistan is bordered on all sides by ambitious empires. However, following the Mecca Religious Conference of 1917, and the continuing dissilution of the Tehran Pact, King Khan was pressured by Islamic interests in his nation to join with the Islamic Brotherhood. As of late 1918, Afghanistan joined the Brotherhood of Islamic nations, securing the king's desire to modernize and to gain a powerful protector.

-Australian Free State*

-Chinese Empire*

-Guangxi (1929-present): Funded by American business interests and flush with his own money, General Kai-Shiek managed to bribe a large part of the Chinese military to take up his cause and proclaim independance in the southern provinces. With fighting escalating in the north, time will tell whether Chiang can mantain his empire.

-Indian Empire* (1905-1914)

-Mongolia (1924-present): Though Mongolia was given its independance by China in 1924, ideology has once more brought the nation back to alliance with Russia. The election of a Socialist regime in 1928 has brought the country into common interests with the USSR and has allowed Soviet forces to use its ground as a base for operations in western China.

-Nippon: The Empire of Japan has become one of the dominant powers in Asia. The soldiers of the Rising Sun became the world’s premier jungle fighters in the Great War, and stretched out the hand of the Emperor all the way to Australia. These successes were continued in the brief Nipponese-Spanish War in 1910, when the Philippenes were annexed. In the 1910s, Nippon attempted to mantain peace and prosperity using the Tehran Pact. Following the dissolution of that alliance in 1919, Nippon joined Russia in launching a massive invasion of the Chinese Empire, sparking the beginning of the Second Global War. Ten years later the Nipponese have once more invaded China, pledging to support Mao Zedong's communist regime in their civil war.

-People's Republic of China (1929-present): Zedong's Red Army has been simmering beneath the surface in China for several decades under assorted leadership. The American raid and a stalemated war in India provided a spark for the uprising. Now the People's Republic is fighting for dominance over the rest of China.

-Siam (1917-present): The formation of Siam in 1917 was approved of by most of China after the French and Germans had been driven out. Siam remained loyal to Peking until the collapse of China in 1929 and now Siam looks to return to its pre-Great War path of neutrality and isolationism in foreign affairs.

-Sinkiang (1932-present)

-Turkestan (1915-present): The Turkestanis rose up under the power of Islam against the Russian government in 1915. The following year, after the Russian reforms into a republic, Turkestan was recognized as an independant nation. When the Mecca Religious Conference occurred, Turkestan was quick to reconcile with Mecca, helping form the Islamic Brotherhood. Under protection of Dar-al-Islam Turkestan looks east toward China and north towards the Russian Trans-Siberian Railroad, both directions could provide new wealth or power for Turkestan.

-Vietnam (1916-present): Vietnam siezed its independance from France in 1916 in the wake of the Communist War in Europe. Though they were violently contested by both French and German forces, the arrival of Chinese support turned the tide in Indochina. The Chinese attempts to dominate Mongolian elections in 1925 and 1926 alienated the Vietnamese from their liberators and they quickly used the collapse of China in 1928 to break away from Imperial influence and the defunct Sino Alliance.
 
Treaty of Lima
Signed: February 8, 1910
Signatories: Argentina, Peru
Observers: Bolivia, United States of America
Background: In the later days of 1909 conferences were held to discuss the formation of a South American alliance and trade pact to better preserve interests of the southern part of the Western Hemisphere. Called by the government of Argentina, representatives were invited from all parts of South and North America, including representatives from Mexico, the United States, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, and Bolivia. The conference was immediately condemned by the government of Nicaragua which claimed that the goal was to merely spread more imperialism of the United States into Latin and South America. Nicaraguan claims were rendered meaningless when most of South America voiced support for the new economic alliance. Despite widespread support only Peru and Argentina would actually join the alliance, with Bolivia joining later in early 1911.
The Terms:
1. The American Accord alliance will be established between Peru and Argentina.
2. American Accord is a full alliance in which both parties agree to support the others' actions.
3. Argentina will recognize Peruvian and Bolivian claims on the coastal territory stolen from both nations by Chile in the Pacific War.

Treaty of Manila
Signed: November 12, 1910
Signatories: Spain, Nipponese Empire
Background: With the major Nipponese victories in the fighting in the Philippenes and the defeat of the Spanish fleet at the battle of Sarawak, Spain was forced to come to the table for peace. Meeting in Manila less than a month after their great naval defeat, Nippon's representative of the emperor dictated the peace to the shattered ambassador of Spain. The following Treaty of Manila can be easily pointed to as one of the causes for the opening of the Iberian front during the ensuing Communist War as many in Spain became disillusioned with the government following the loss of the pride of the Spanish Empire.
The Terms:
1. Hostilities between Spain and Nippon would come to an immediate end.
2. Nippon would formally annex the Philippenes into the empire.
3. Spain would renounce all claims in the Pacific Ocean.

Signatories: United States of America, Nipponese Empire, Italy, Persia
Background: Following the Albanian Rebellion of 1910-1911, the Holy Russian Empire consolidated an alliance of Orthodox states within the Balkans. This included Serbia, Greece, and Bulgaria. The later alliance between Germany and Russia would further worry neighbors of the Russian Empire. Therefore in a heated conference at Tehran, several of the nations surrounding the Russian Empire achieved their goals of creating an anti-St. Petersburg alliance and gaining the United States as a powerful overseas ally.
The Terms:
1. All signatories will conclude a defensive pact against aggression by the Holy Russian Empire and its allies.
2. All signatories will act as a coordinated diplomatic bloc to help forestall continued Russian expansion on the global stage.

Stockholm Declaration
Signed: February 20, 1912
Signatories: Sweden-Norway, Denmark
Background: Following the unifications of Italy and Germany in the mid-19th Century, there was significant favor in northern Europe for the creation of a unified Scandinavia. Prior to the Portsmouth Conference, most of these moves had been blocked by the British Empire, which even attempted to push for Norwegian independence. With Europe on the rise and increased funding from pro-Scandinavian interests, the kings of both Sweden and Denmark met in Stockholm to create a new European power.
The Terms:
1. The kingdoms of Sweden-Norway and Denmark will be consolidated into a single nation termed the United Kingdoms of Scandinavia.
2. The King of Denmark will retain a symbolic position within the government, though the King of Sweden will be the official head of state.

Geneva Agreement
Signed: March 1, 1913
Signatories: United States of America, United Kingdoms of Scandinavia, Holy Russian Empire, Germany, Eire, France
Background: Rising communist agitation in western Europe and the formation of an united communist alliance based out of the Congress of British Workers caused much distress in global diplomatic circles in 1913. With France almost in open revolt, the Common Front International and the Tehran Pact managed to set aside their differences and meet to discuss the growing problem of communism.
The Terms:
1. The nations of the Tehran Pact and Common Front International agree not to provoke further dispute between the two alliances.

Treaty of Moscow
Signed: October 14, 1915
Signatories: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador
Background: Starting in 1912, the nations of South America faced a multitude of crises which nearly led to total war between the different countries. This was exacerbated as South America divided between the Tehran Pact and the Common Front International, and both sides' foreign allies encouraged the infighting. However, at the behest of the new democratic government in Russia, diplomats from all South American nations met in Moscow to discuss a better way to prevent a total war from devastating the continent.
The Terms:
1. All signing parties agree rely first and foremost on diplomatic methods to resolve conflicts between signatories.
2. No signing party may spend more than 33% of their tax base on military spending.

Pretoria Agreement
Signed: November 11, 1915
Signatories: Boer Republic, Germany
Background: As chaos reigned in Iberia in the aftermath of the Communist War, the German Empire offered the purchase of the Portuguese colony of Gabon in order to further expand the MittelAfrikan Empire. However, this was following a bidding competition with the Boer Republic which nearly resulted in war. In order to maintain stability in southern Africa, the Boers and Germans met to discuss redrawing of borders.
The Terms:
1. The Zambezi River will act as the new northern border between Mittel Afrika and the Boer Republic.
2. The Boer Republic shall pay compensation for the new territory acquired.

Treaty of Winchester
Signed: April 2, 1917
Signatories: The Nations of the Union of Commonwealth States
Background: In accordance with the Geneva Agreement, the victorious powers of Germany and Russia agreed to return England to control of King George V following the defeat of the Congress of British Workers. Despite the breif restoration of the English Empire, George V was well aware of the empire's vulnerability from internal threats. To mitigate this, representatives were gathered from both India and England to establish a constitution for the creation of a new government.
The Terms:
1. The Imperial government shall be reformed into a collection of semi-autonomous nations which will form the Union of Commonwealth States.
2. King George V remains a political figurehead and head of state for all members of the Union.
3. The Union will allow admittance of other nations into the Commonwealth, provided that they possess a history of participation with the former British Empire.
4. All foreign and domestic policy will be determined from a centralized Parliament in Winchester which will be the new capital of the Commonwealth.

Treaty of Mecca
Signed: January 22, 1918
Signatories: Dar-al-Islam, Persia, Afghanistan, Turkestan
Background: For hundreds of years Islam was divided into factions and secular interests. When underground tensions between Persia and Dar-al-Islam almost brought the two powers to war in 1915, the Caliph Ibn Saud called for a pan-Islamic conference to begin the following year. Members from all existing Islamic nations attended the conference which would last over two years.
The Terms:
1. All Islamic nations promise to never again wage war upon eachother.
2. Signatories will join a new alliance to unite the Islamic world as a political entity
3. Trade restrictions and tariffs will be lifted between all Islamic nations.

Treaty of Buffalo
Signed: August 3, 1920
Signatories: United States of America, Canadian Liberation Movement
Background: The tragic events of the Mexican Expulsion left fear in the hearts of much of the United States' territories taken during the Great War. Canadians, Australians, and Colombians all feared similar treatment. In response to these fears, Canadian militias revolted in early 1919, driving out minor American garrisons. With an election year arriving, President Harding, Theodore Roosevelt's former Vice President, called for a meeting between the Canadian forces and the US government.
The Terms:
1. Canadian forces agree to end fighting and allow the return of US forces.
2. The United States agrees to end the military occupation of Canada and allow the territories to be reincorporated as states.

Treaty of New Delhi
Signed: January 30, 1922
Signatories: Union of Commonwealth States, Imperial Russian Republic, Germany, Nipponese Empire
Background: With the destruction of the Commonwealth navy at the Battle of the Thames in 1921, and the successful Islamic invasion of western India, the Commonwealth determined that it was in their best interests to sue for peace.

Treaty of Beunos Aires
Signed: June 1, 1922
Signatories: Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil
Background: Following Chile's defeat at the hands of Peru and Bolivia in the Second Pacific War, Brazil determined to begin its own era of dominance in South America. Believing they had Argentine support, they launched a massive attack upon Bolivia and Peru in early 1920. However, Argentina turned against them and the weight of the forces of the American Accord forced the Brazillian military to collapse after the fall of Brasilia to Argentine marines. What followed was a conference at Beunos Aires where Argentina dictated a peace for South America.
The Terms:
1. Brazilian military forces shall immediately stand down to the armies of the American Accord.
2. Brazil shall have military limits of ten divisions and American Accord observers to make sure of observance of the restrictions.

1. Ecuador and Venezuela shall enter the political and military alliance of the American Accord.
2. Advanced military technology used in combat against Brazil shall be shared with all members of the Accord.

Treaty of San Salvador
Signed: August 25, 1923
Signatories: United Provinces of Central America, Nicaragua
Background: In 1920, the armies of Nicaragua launched a massive offensive into the UPCA. After three years of stalemate in Honduras, both sides agreed to an armistice. With no clear victor, a formal treaty to end the war would be signed in San Salvador.
The Terms:
1. The armies of both signatories shall immediately cease hostilities.

Signed: August 28, 1924
Signatories: Chinese Empire, Vietnam, Siam, Nipponese Empire, Germany
Background: Following a brutal four year struggle, the Chinese not only managed to repulse a massive invasion by the Common Front Internation, but actually managed to defeat the CFI's armies in the field.

Treaty of Baku
Signed: October 31, 1925
Signatories: Imperial Russian Republic, Georgia, Dar-al-Islam, Persia, Turkey, Turkestan
Background: At the start of 1925, Russia appeared to be regaining control of the military situation in Europe and Turkey. However by the end of the year, a Chinese counterattack drove the Russians out of Mongolia and an Islamic attack advanced deep into the Caucuses and cut off the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Unable to defend themselves, a new government under the Bolsheviks was elected in October, bringing about a duo of treaties, the first being signed in the city of Baku.
The Terms:
1. Peace is made between the members of the Brotherhood of Islamic Nations and the Russian Republic.
2. Turkestan will withdraw from its holdings along the Trans-Siberian railway.

Philippenes Campaign
The War: Hispano-Nipponese War
Duration: February-August, 1910
Combatants: Nipponese Empire vs. Spain
Nipponese Commanders: Admirals Yashiro Rokuro and Mitsumasa Yonai; General Mitsuomi Kamio
Spanish Commander: ???
The Nipponese Plans: To force a decisive campaign both on the ground and at sea to bring the Spanish to a single victorious battle to achieve the war aims. To achieve this Nipponese commands forsaw a rapid assualt on Luzon to capture Manila and knock the larger part of the Spanish garrison out of the fight. This would be followed with a campaign to first capture the next largest island of Davao followed by the capture of Leyte. With the seizure of these islands, the Nipponese would then meet the expected arrival of the Spanish fleet from Europe southwest of the island chain at the expected passage by Singapore.
The Spanish Plans: With prior warnings throughout 1909 of a Nipponese attack against Spanish holdings in the Pacific, Spain was given ample time to prepare for a conflict. Spanish commanders hoped to fight a slow battle of attrition on Luzon, relying on the impregnability of the fortress at Corridger. They would buy time for the arrival of the navy from Spain which would then destroy the Nipponese fleet in preparation for an offensive against Nipponese holdings in the former Dutch East Indies.
The Events: On February 19, 1910 Nipponese troops landed in northern Luzon, gaining tactical surprise over the local Spanish garrison which had not be prewarned of the threat of war. Remaining Spanish forces were forced to rally not far north of Manila, by which point the Nipponese had already advanced and stabilized their front and supply lines. The mid-March offensive down the Bataan pennisula managed to force the Spanish away from their fortress at Corridger, and the Nipponese captured the island with minimal resistance. With Manila surrounded by the beginning of April, the largest Spanish force in the Philippenes surrendered to the Nipponese on April 3, 1910. The Nipponese followed this success by eagerly landing on both Leyte and Davao simultaneously, departing from earlier planning. This would cost the advance Nipponese regiment on Leyte when Spanish gunfire inflicted heavy casualties on the landing. It would take two more waves of attack for the Spanish to collapse. On Davao the Spanish garrison surrendered in the first week of fighting and less then a dozen casualties were inflicted on both sides in the course of the minor conflicts which did occur. The rapid land victories gained by the Nipponese were overshadowed by the extreme anticipation caused by the forthcoming arrival of the Spanish navy from Europe. The fleets met at the Battle of Sarawak, near the island of Borneo in the former Dutch East Indies. Though the Spanish managed to fire the first volley, their gunnery was atrocious and not a single Nipponese ship was damaged in the slightest. The return fire was devastating and in the first twenty minutes, four of the elderly Spanish battleships were sent to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Though Spain had a minute of the glory when the flagship Phillip II steamed into the center of the Nipponese fleet and sunk one of the new battleships by ramming it, the battle was determined before the fight began. Nippon had won a decisive battle, forcing the signing of the Treaty of Manila later in the year.
 
South African Campaigns in the Second Global War

The militaristic and land grubbing attitude of the Boer Republic, as it was at that time, used the Second Global War to extend its grasp in Africa. Soon after the outbreak of war between Italy and Germany the Boer Republic launched its own campaign against the Germans along with the Abyssinians and the Portuguese.

This victory was very promising for the Boers. They had rid the African Continent of German influence and were ready to send help to Europe until the Nipponese attacked Madagascar. A naval battle ensued destroying the smaller navy of the Boer’s. A Nipponese diplomat demanded to speak to government officials. The Nipponese had dispatched a threat that the whole of the Nipponese Navy and Army would descend upon the Boer nation. With this threat and the fact that the military forces were spread out in Africa and that their small navy was destroyed caused the Boers to switch sides for the first time in the war. It is clear now that the Boer nation could have held their own against the Nipponese invasion having superior jungle and guerilla fighting skills.

The second half of the war dictates horrible defeats and humiliation for the Boers and the rest of its new alliance. It was decided by the government that now that the Nipponese navy was tied up in Europe that the Boers would once again switch sides. In a last ditch effort the Boers invaded the Portuguese colony in South Africa before staging a German ambush that killed Boer soldiers. The Boers used this to justify their second switch.

The war ended with the Boers on the winning side. They did not fall into economic depression as did other nations in the war. They gained a significant territory from Portugal. Soon afterwards Democratic reforms took place to install a new government under the name of The Republic of South Africa.
 
Wait, I got money from the Spanish? I thought I paid them 1 IC for the Filipinos.

EDIT: Admirals Yashiro Rokuro and Mitsumasa Yonai, commanded the fleet and overall operations, with Yashiro acting as overall commander for the campaign while Mitsumasa commanded the fleet, while Mitsuomi Kamio commanded the Nipponese army troops during the invasion.
 
Ah, For some reason i thought it was the other way around; your contributions will be added. Thanks.
 
Operation Jacobite
The War: The Communist War
Duration: June 1913-April 16, 1915
Combatants: Tehran Pact (USA, Argentina, Boer Republic, Liberia, Eire, and Peru) vs. Congress of British Workers
Tehran Pact Commander: Brigadier General John J. Pershing
CBW Commander: Colonel Nigel Loring
The Tehran Pact Plans: Pershing and his forces were to land in northern Scotland, and march south along the eastern coast, with a cavalry and armored car screen covering their right (western) flank. They were to liberate the major Scottish cities and engage and destroy any Communist military forces in the region.
The CBW Plans:???
The Events: The Tehran Pact force, consisting mostly of Americans, landed unopposed at the northern Scottish city of Inverness. Pershing became the first commander in the world to utilize aircraft, having a large number of scout planes attached to the expeditionary force. He used these planes not only to strafe enemy troops and coordinate artillery, but also as a ruse. "Black Jack" ordered his scouts to engage in heavy reconnaissance in areas south and west of the proposed landing zone, confusing the few British troops on the ground to believe that the Tehran Pact was landing in a different region. The American lead forces quickly marched south towards the cities of Aberdeen, Perth and Dundee. The only notable military encounter was the engagement between an American Cavalry division and a British militia group, 20 miles outside Perth, where the Americans routed the rag-tag Communist force. It was not until the combined force reached Glasgow that it encountered any major foreign forces, and it was not the British, but the Russians, who had landed near Newcastle and pushed north. This caused a slight diplomatic scandal, as the Tehran Pact had been told that the liberation of Scotland was to be their duty. By October, the resistance in the north had been quelled. The largest loss of life came not on the battlefield but in a submarine ambush in February 1915, in which two battleships and two destroyers were sunk, as well as a number of transports carrying two American infantry divisions and one Peruvian division. The campaign ended with the creation of the nation of Scotland on April 16, 1915, one hundred and forty nine years after the battle of Culloden, in which the British defeated the last major Scottish uprising under Bonnie Prince Charles during the Second Jacobite Rebellion.
 
Wasnt bolivia one of the original signatories of the Tehran Pact (since I had to choose between them and Chile)
 
They were, but their troops weren't involved in the campaign, same with Nippon and Persia. I went with what EQ said in the updates.
 
Damn it, now I wish I had really saved my orders.
 
I did that from the update and memory :D
 
Well i have orders saved from 1925-1932 thanks to my system of updating at work. If anyone does something from that time period, ask me for your orders and i'll send them back to you.

Thanks Jacobite and human_slaughter for your contributions. Keep it up. There is one criticism for human_slaughter though. Try to make it slightly more specific if you can, though what you have is certainly good. Thanks again folks.
 
The War for India
The War: Occupation of India
Duration: ??? Will find out.
Combatants: UCS versus Chinese Empire
Commonwealth Commanders: Admiral Horatio Nelson II; General Bernard Montgomery
Chinese Commander: ???
Commonwealth plan: To prevent the collapse and fall of India to the growing Chinese Empire at any means.
Chinese plan: To conquer and add India to their Empire.
The Events: China invaded India and made considerable gains in their progress as they occupied most of India. The Union of Commonwealth States and Admiral Nelson II countered by demolishing the Chinese navy in a trap in the Indian Ocean, then using new technologies acquired from other nations General Montgomery and his army began to beat back the Chinese slowly retaking lost cities and ports. As the Chinese soldiers retreated they heavily poisoned the Indian populace, which spurred the Commonwealth army to inflict even greater casualties and damage on the Chinese army and made huge advances across India resulting in a ceasefire.

**There are some gaps in my story, I will head back through the updates and reread the battles and war progress and add new things. Can someone could provide me with the year(s) and month the battle started and ended I wasn't playing when the war started. Thanks.
