Now that Saorise has collapsed, Spanish Yakutsk is a vassal of France
We also demand that Germany end all recognition of and crack down on the International Brigade, who has killed French Soldiers, and atrocity that will not be tolerated
OOC: I think the terms are 25% of income, but I can't remember. Kiwitt, make sure my people know Germans have killed Frenchmen.

Long Live Canada - Vive le Canada
International Affairs
With the collapse of Saoirse and the creation of the new state of Greater Ethiopia, the Gold Coast is now unprotected. We will now use our influence (Expansion IC) to make them part of our protection. As Canada has good relations with the UNA and L'Accord, this seems like the best option in a turbulent world for the Jewish Nation.
L'Accord "War on Communism" seems to be coming to a close soon, with many territories formerly Russian/Bosnia/U.S.S.R falling. Once this war is concluded we will send aid to the territories via the Red Star to ensure that the people are taken care off.
Swiss administered Red Star also donates 20 IC to Southern Han to help in relief efforts in Japan following the Tsunami.

The Parliament has met Winnipeg and has agreed to release the "Heart of Darkness" to the wider world - Option 2: Gain 100 Cultural points

No war was fought against Colombia, although it should have been. Either way, this is part of the greater War on Communism.
Now you're starting to get ridiculous. We are liberating these territories from Communist tyranny. You slander the late Kan, and glorify a kleptocratic movement.
This displays such a titanic and willful ignorance of the situation I shouldn't even bother. But I will anyways. The first, and most obvious point is that we were no longer allies at the time. A war was fought to defend British land from external aggression. Accordian soldiers fought and died for Britain. And then they leave the Accord, make a seperate peace, and begin making slanderous remarks about the Accord and its allies. Not only that, but the issue that they claimed to leave us over was resolved almost immediately afterwards.
To recap, Accordian soldiers fought and died to defend Britain, who then cuts, runs, and then turns around and slanders the Accord. Do you see why perhaps the Accord may have been slightly annoyed?
Bah, I already explained this. We go to help them, they bail on us, they start flinging out all kinds of wild accusations. Even then, the majority of the accusations weren't directed at France and Swaziland, which you all seem to have the biggest problem with, but Xi'an, a partial member.
For one thing, he's not a UNA member. For another thing, attacked? He was trying to defend Boj China, anyone could see that. For a third thing, none of us have more than 4 provinces, we just collectively control the Americas. Swaziland has 14.

Decent point, but he was in the UNA, until shortly before the incident. Boj China unjustly seceded from our ally, who went in to pacify it. Tawantinsuyu attempted to aid them in this, and were rightfully (and i believe the scientific term for it is) curb stomped.

The CSA is here to tell you that secesseion is very legal and that you are imperialist for trying to stop the brave men and women of Boj China from their right to self-rule and to help subjugate them.
Were the Canadian Wars fought partly on Britains behalf, true or false?

False. The UNA wanted Canada to be an independent country, while L'Accord wanted to invade so that they could take Canada for them selves (and later back stabbed Britain because it left L'Accord).
King Ariston, who is studied in the observation, study, and reflection of history, has a few things to say about the accusations being flung about, and hopes that as Greece is a neutral country, that you might try and think about the words he has to offer.
1. Okay, where to start? Hmmm. Well first of all, BOTH regimes in Russia, both Imperial Russia under the Kan, and the new USSR regime, are extremely oppressive to their people. The only difference is that Imperial Russia had manners and knew how to act on the world stage. The USSR just yells and yells about injustices to the people, then continue their own form of tyranny.
2. The Canadian Issue. Seriously, get your facts straight. Canada ASKED the Accord, specifically Britain and France (YES France was there too) to come in and secure their lands against the UNA who they were actually afraid of. There appears to be evidence as well that there were plans to release Canada to be an independent state years afterwards once it had been developed, however, it can never be known for certain if this would have taken place. The UNA were clearly the aggressors in this one conflict, although it must be known that the Accord was in full knowledge of the response their actions would provoke.
3. Britain's 'betrayal' as you call it. We would like to note that any country is free to leave any agreement (which includes alliances) at any time. We would also like to note that the war in Canada was NOT merely for Britain. The event that led to the war was for the Accord as a whole, mixed Accordian armies were used in the conflict, and in fact Britain was not the only one with land there. And when they left, it does not matter if the issue they left over was 'resolved' shortly after, although there is strong evidence to suggest that this is a lie to show unity in the Accord to outsiders, and it was never in fact fully solved until several years later. And even if it had been resolved immediately afterwards, nobody has since denied that what the British had claimed was in fact true, and that nobody was doing anything to resolve the conflict fairly until, supposedly, somebody took command AFTER they left. Some historians have proposed the theory that Britain leaving the alliance spurred them into action, or that perhaps there was a deal behind the scenes that was still developing. At any rate, nobody has opposed what Britain has said about nothing being done. At any rate, from their point of view, they may have seen it as necessary to leave an alliance that in their eyes was no longer fit for them.
As for them signing a separate peace treaty, you said it yourself. It was a war waged in support of them, at least according to you. It was their land. Nothing they did was something that say, France, couldnt have done. They saved tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of lives, yet you complain? You could have kept fighting if you had so wished. but you too seemed to have followed Britain's example, and made peace. Perhaps the leader of britain should be hailed as a leader, the ender of the great war that was no meant to be. Let it also be noted that the Accord simply went to war with britain, years after this had happened, with no warning whatsoever. They never even asked for repayment for what they spent in this war, supposedly to help britain. Unless they merely wanted land, then why do this? Also, the Caliphate here claims that the Accord invaded Britain because they were an annoyance. Not because they betrayed them. not because of the war. but because they were an 'annoyance', as he puts it.
4. By definition, the Accord ARE imperialists. This is not a matter of opinion, it is mere fact, and any that dispute it should not be considered a legitimate source of information. However, some could argue that the UNA has also showed imperialism throughout its history, although it is generally accepted to be not as much.
5. Seccession being legal is a Point of View. The CSA say it is legal now, but I highly doubt they would just let the North break away if they so wished. The thing here is that not all of Boj China seceded from the other countries. Some of it was still independent of them. Perhaps they should have negotiated for the land taken from them first, or demanded payment for the lands. but alas, it is not the job of a historian to give his opinion, only facts, and some guesses.
6. Lets get something straight here boys. (Both IC and OOC here) Peru was defending an ally of his, not attacking an ally of Swaziland. If Swaziland had not wanted peru to attack Siam, then perhaps Siam should not have attacked Boj China. It is simple logic. OOC: It was a technicality, and in my opinion, a fault, in the game mechanics that allowed BSmith to declare war at all.
7. Yes, Swaziland would not technically control the entire continent by itself should it take these new territories, but the point is the same. It is large enough already, and Africa is essentially another name for the Accord by now, with the exception of Libya and Ethiopia. We see no reason why a plebiscite shouldnt be held in the disputed regions to see who will control it (just let people spend money on them, and whoever gets them will get them. Leave it be).
I hope nobody will take this as an insult to Greece. I tried to be as fair as possible, but there are sometimes simple truths that cannot be avoided.

The International Brigade was founded on May Day, 1901. It is originally an organisation of radical, militant communists who, disgusted by the Germany's socialist-led government's refusal to openly support the Soviet rebels against Tsarist loyalists, decided to establish their own militia to send food, supplies and arms to the Soviets. A few even crossed the border into the Soviet Union to volunteer for the front, and were accepted into the Red Army.
The organisation initially did not have mainstream support. The National Front parties vehemently attacked it, linking it to Soviet massacres of the upper class in the Civil War, and called for it to be banned. However, Chancellor August Bebel sympatises with the Soviets, and under the influence of the Communists in his coalition, decided to adopt a neutral position on the activities of the International Brigade, who had establish a headquarter of sorts in the West Galician capital of Krakow.
In the early days the members of the Brigade were almost entirely German citizens, though they came from different ethnic backgrounds; Rheinlanders, Prussians, Bavarians, Austrians, and non-German speakers including Hungarians, Slavs, and Scandinavians. Poles were disproportionately represented; the Soviet movement originated in Poland, after all, and it was the Polish leader of West Galicia who was the first public figure to voice his support of the Brigade's cause.
Chilling in Moscow
When the Soviets entered Moscow and Petrograd, IB volunteers marched alongside their Red Army comrades. The Brigade, which previously had a relatively low profile, gained mainstream attention. The victory in Russia seemed to vindicate the communists. The mainstream Communist Party of Germany (KPD), which had previously distanced itself from the Brigade for political reasons, formed ever closer relations with the organisation. The Brigade was widely admired in radical worker's unions and among the younger soldiers and officers in the military. The organisation also began to expand beyond Germany's borders; local International Brigade affiliates formed in many countries. Underground cells were formed in countries were the Brigade could not operate openly.

Then came the Intervention; French, Swazi and Medinan troops invaded the USSR from three directions, hoping to strangle it at birth. The International Brigade once more rallied the workers of Germany and world to defend the revolution. This time, thousands and thousands answered the call. Unions, cooperatives and individual citizens declare their support, and send whatever donations they can afford. The previously cautious KPD is now vocal in their support of the Brigade.
Fighters assemble in Krakow
Soon, an improvised, rough and ready army was assembled. The volunteers came from all walks of life; factory workers, farmers, idealistic youths, and of many political persuasions: most were communists, but there were a few liberals, democrats, nationalists, anti-imperialists. They sent themselves to the Soviet Union. There, they engaged in combat alongside the Red Army against Swazi and French forces in the Ukraine. Though they could never hope to counter the vastly superior firepower of the Accordian armies, these ragtag partisans fought heroically, fired up by revolutionary zeal. They even managed to inflict a few defeats on the invaders; a French supply convoy outside of Krasnodar was ambushed by IB guerrilas, killing 200 soldiers and wounding many more.
Life on the frontline
As the main Soviet armies retreated into the Russian heartland, IB volunteers stayed behind to aid Soviet partisans and launch guerrila attacks on the occupying forces. IN one such attack, IB partisans attacked a depot in Minsk; surrounded by Swazi troops, the partisans fought their way out of the city. In another attack, just outside of Warsaw, ten IB partisans took on a Swazi brigade. The Swazis took heavy losses, but all except one of the partisans were killed. The one survivor, Ivan Ribar, a Croat from Croatia-Slavonia, treked the long journey to the German border despite his serious injuries. Ribar and the survivors from Minsk recovered enough to parade with their IB and KPD comrades through Berlin a few months after their daring attacks, to the cheers of ten thousand people.
Communist parade through the Brandenburger Tor
Among many who celebrated the parade were German nationalists and supporters of the National Front. Though they and the communists have their differences, they all hate the French, and so the nationalists have no objections to the Brigade's partisans attacking French and Swazi troops. The Bebel government stopped short of offering their support to the Brigade, though some of their members were invited for talks and dinner with senior government officials. The French Government had recently issued a demand for Germany to ban the International Brigade; they have not yet received a reply.
GM: With Greece declaring war on the U.S.S.R., it is now no longer protected by the initial no DoW rule which was set in its formation. Greece can be declared war against without penalty.
Medina, you are using "spreading your religion" as an excuse to be Imperialistic. Religion is no reason to go to war, unless your are protecting the rights of people to worship whatever god(s) they want to worship.
