The British operations were put into a neat little report for the king. As estimated the British ships had arrived at the Falklands. It had yeat to be known what had happened yet. Canada was a differnt matter. The report came only days after the event took place.
--------------------------
The British had landed only 25 miles from Churchill, the capital of Free Canada. Canada left the Commenwealth back in 1803 when ritain could no longer maintian an Empire. It was the starting of the end for the British Empire. Now it would be the beginning of a new Empire.
The troops soon established a beachead as they had done many times before. Within 2 days the 4000 soldiers had come ashore. The large force soon moved out for the 25 mile march to Churchill. The town in which they had landed, North River was able to get word to the Canadian Capital.
King Henry II of Canada looked at the report from the town. 4000 British soldiers, how could it be so? King George III had given them freedom, which he promised Britian would never take back. Henry II was shocked by this news. He immediatly dispatched a messenger to the British forces.
The Messenger met up with the marching troops only 17 kilometers from Churchill. He asked why the British had returned and why troops had landed on the shores. The messenger returned to Churchill with a message from General Hamilton
"It is by order of his majisty, King George IV that Canada return to the commenweath immediatly. Failure to do so will result in the conquest of Canada."
When the message was recieved by King Henry he immediatly ordered the mobilization of the Canadian Army to go and fight the British invadors. The Canadain militia was the only thing between the capital and British invadors.
15 kilometers. The British marched on. 12 Kilometers. They continued on their way. Finally only 9 kilometers away from the capital the British regiment of 1200 was ambushed by only 400 Canadian militia. The Canadians were still using muskets from 30 years earlier, left over from the War of 1812, between Canada and America, resulting in the annexation of Quebec.
A crakle came from the trees and a soldier dropped to the ground. This was followed by almost a dozen more and a sergent. Colonel Jones ordered the spreading out of the regiment. The British had learned well sence the American and Canadian revolutionary wars and adapted to ambushes and gureilla warfare.
The British soldiers fell back and began to spread out. They outnumbered the Canadians 3 to 1. The Enfield Rifles were best the British had and were equivalent to the American Springfields. The Brits soon struck back. The rifles shot three times as long as the old musckets. The canadians were thouroly licked after a three hour battle.
The "Redcoats" marched towards Churchill. Only a few kilometers away they saw the Union Jack fly high over the ships near the port. The Royal Fleet had taken the harbour. Artillery was raining down upon the city. Churchill had fallen to the British after only 4 days.
The Canadaians wern't finished. King Henry II was able to escape, just as the British entered the city. Altough the Prince, Queen and Prime Minister were captured they needed the King. The British soon learned a week later he escaped to the small town of Bird, about 85 miles South.
The chase was on. The 1200 troop Regiment left for bird as the other 2800. Colonel Jones was ridding on his horse when a messenger from Bird arrived for him. It was a warning. Canadian snipers had trailed him for 12 miles and could kill him at any moment. This news was supprising and startled the Colonel. The news was to scare the colonel. The Colonel ordered the immediate scan of the area. A lone sniper turned up, but he told of many more.
The Colonel didn't ride his horse for the rest of the way to Bird. By the time he got there the King had left again. This time to Gilliam 40 miles away. Henry II was creating an army. Taking the militias of towns as he went. He was preparing for a battle. Once again Gilliam showed no signs of the king, altough his quarters looked as if he left only that night. The colnel was closing in on the King.
It had now been 3 weeks sence the invasion of Canada. From Gillian the King traveled by raft to Thompson, 75 miles away from Gillian. The King had now run over 200 miles to escape the British.
Up north General Hamilton decided to take towns in the North. The port of Iqaluit on Baffin Island, securing a supply route. Soon the British took the 6 port towns on the Hudson Bay. This secured the Bay for the British.
By 5 weeks into the invasion the King had fleed to the small town of Lynn Lake, 200 miles Southwest of Churchill, Colonel Jones hot on his trail. He had reportly raised an Army of 700 maybe even 1000. He had to be stopped before the British faced an equal on the battlefield.
The British now had control of the coast along the Hudson Bay, the Canadian islands(Baffin, Victoria, Banks, Queen Elizabeth is.) and had taken land a little over 100 miles inland. Canada would soon be theirs.

It is 1849. I will update timeline within the night.
King Lincoln took his time overlooking the new recruits. In this age of Imperialism, America must stay with the game. The new recruits looked strong and willing men who would do the American army and navy good. The poured in from the towns of Philadelphia, Boston, New York, and St. Louis on the boarder of the Iroquois. They were assempled at the huge port of Boston, where a new Ironclad had just been created and was ready for it's maiden voyage to Japan. The 5 fleets of Boston Class Ironclads had left the last week for the Suez where they were to break the blockade of the Suez. These men were to be sent with 7 more fleets to Egypt where they would train the soldeirs there into using rifles and such so that they could ward off any Roman invasion. Lincoln sighed because he knew these men were to be put in the way of bullets for the country, but it was war, and that is what happens in war.
-------East Meditteranean--------
The Boston Class Ironclads had been steaming all week to the Suez Canal to lay waist to the Roman blockade there. Since the Romans had not replied within four weeks, it was time to forcefully remove the fleets. The soldiers thought of it as an easy task with their superior numbers and machines.
The Romans were spotted steaming a few hundred yards ahead, the captain of the USS Philadelphia gave the order to begin long range bombardment. All the ironclads steamed into a line, and the bombardment began. Something wasn't right though. There seemed to be only one steam column coming out in the distance. Quickly the captain turn around. And there, sitting innocently, were 3 Roman ironclads just about to fire.
The Roman ironclads enclosed on the American vessels, surrounding the superior ships and closing anyway of escape. The battle was a complete failure for the Americans. One Roman ironclad was destroyed, while all five American vessels lay at the bottom.
To: Egypt
From: America
Subj: War
We now openly join this war on behalf of the Suez canal. While we can not sell you ironclads at this time, we are sending some more to combat the Romans.
OOC: I will do map update and stuff when i have time to do timeline. Please, Plexus, remember that you are fighting against an NPC nation. You MUST loose battles. Do not be hesitant to loose the war, either. It is a story we are creating. We are not trying to win with our country.
Also, I am not doing diplomacy for NPC's. It is up to you to make up their replies.

Word came to the King, 2 months after the sending of the fleet to conquer the Falklands. The fleet took the island without bloodshed. After seeing the Royal Navy fleets the people of the island surrendered peacefully. The Falklands were now British.
The fleets and 1000 soldiers were ordered for a new mission, the re-colonization of Australia. In 1830 the British Empire, long falliang apart ahd lost a way to continue to keep Australia a part of her empire. In 1831 Australia was given independence. They were given a short freedom as it would only last 15 years, the British navy and Army were coming to take it back.

OOC: Jason, I know, that just doesn't fit in with my storyline right now. 
Colonel Jones continued his pursuit of the King. Lynn Lake was inbetween lakes. Colonel Jones was coming in from the south and his cavalry had secured the route east. To the west was the main British force. The King could only head north. As such Gweneral Hamilton sent cavalry to secure the town of Brochet, north of Lynn Lake.
Colonel Jones was the commanding officer in the Iceland landing, aswell of the battle of Nuuk. He was well experianced with recent combat and was a good student in the Londen acadamy. His father was even in the Canadian revolutionary war. With his fathers knowladge he was able to command his troops well.
His regiment slowly approched Lynn lake suddenly drums could be heard in the distence. It was the Canadian National Anthem. Suddenly a shot was heard and an officer next to Jones fell to the ground, shot in the arm. Jones quickly dismounted. The snipers were never lost.
A band of Canadian warriors suddenly charged the British rear. Jones was prepared and had put his best men in the rear. The Canadians were in a rude suprise when bayonets were fixed on their charge. The British soon put them selves in a spread out, but well orginized group. Their rifles would need to give them the edge.
The rear line was able to push the Canadians back, but the drums got closer and closer. A light morter suddenly shot from the British lines. The only artlillary the regiment took with them. It was of little use. The horses were the first target for the Canadians. They were large targets that could not be replaced.
Colonel Jones calmly ordered an advance. The Canadains were suprised but continued on their hit and run. Twenty minutes into the battle and several dozen British soleirs and officers were dead. It was nothing major, the regiment was comprised of 1200 soldiers after all.
The drums continued to get louder and louder. Colonel Jones did not know if the King was stalling or really believed he could launch a succesful attack. His offense so far only had about 20 to 50 soldiers. The king could not pull enough militia together to be any threat.
The drum roll grew ever louder and suddenly a gray line of soldiers were seen in the distence. THe size of the force was quite small, maybe a few hundread. The militia would be sluaghtered Jones thought. The Colonel ordered a full charge, all 1200 soldiers.
As the British charged forward they saw the true size of the Canadian army. It was a full regiment, spread out along nearly half a mile. The true battle began. The British began to charge straight through the Canadian lines. The militia could not put up against this monuvear. The Canadians antiapated this and flanked from the sides.
The British now battling in a semi-circle. King Henry II suddenly appeared on horse back. Leading his troops through the battle he slowly beat Colonel Jones back. After hours of bitter fighting it was a stalemate. Colonel Jones nor King Henry could advance. Colonel Jones ordered the retreat first. He decided to cut his loses and moved back to Gillian.
-----------------------------------------
After the battle the King broke through the Cavalry to the east. He continued to move his army west. The British altough facing a startigic loss trully inflicted more damage on the Canadian forces. The king would now have to retreat, he kinew he could not yet defeat the British forces head on.
General Hamilton ordered a full advance into Canada. The King would not be allowed to double back. Within a month after the battle the British had advanced up to 500 miles inland onto Yellowknife in the North, La Ronge in the Center and The Pas to the South. Ahead of them were several forts established during the 1700s by the French and British to defend against each other and Native Americans. Now the would be obsticles to British dominance.

The Cheif sat, crosslegged, in the forest, the rough log below him his sole companion.
The distant chirping of birds, the burbling of streams went unheard by the Chief as he looked, mystified into the future.
He rose. It was not a powerful motion, it was smooth, flawless, his leather pants showed no wrinkles from the movement, the tassles bobbed agreeably.
He slipped his shirt on, spinning on heel to remember his way home, to Lakota.
Cheif Mighty River had lead a displaced people to glory, stripped of land, glory, honor by the europeans. The Iriquois had faced a cold, hard, world to the West. They had consigned themselves to a nomadic fate when Mighty River was born. He proved himself in battle, and soon in politics, maneuvering the disjointed tribes of the West together into a great Confederation, reminiscent of the ancient Iriquois Confederation, only greater. Sioux, Apache, La Paz, all were united with the Iriquios now in the Great Nation.
Mighty River had established the government himself, based loosly upon the teachings of American men who had escaped to the still free native lands, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson. Great River had read the history of the Europeans, learned from their mistakes, and established a strong centralised government, he had looked to his own history and built democratic ideals into the governments, compromise had left some regional autonomy to the assorted tribes, leaving each with the power to fill in the details of national laws and to tax as they felt was fit. diversity lent the necessity of religious freedom, trade was regulated by the Central Council in Lakota, Mighty River served as the Executive Officer of the government, some feared that the death of the twice unanimously elected Offcer would lead to the downfall of the United Nations of America, but he knew it was sound, he had built this house on firm soil, no storm could leave it humbled.
His hand brushed against his wrinkled face, he looked out into the forest, a sudden wave of pain eminating from his chest.
He felt dizzy, he realised that he had fallen, he put his hand out to steady himself, such things had occured in the past, he would have to ride it out.
Ride it out.
Ride i...t....
The hunters who found him, hours later, would weep with fear, what deamons governed the future?
-
Telegraph lines were ablaze, votes poured in from each major city, where voting posts had been established for the locals and the farmers. Numbers were written, sloppy and hurried by assorted men at the receiving stations.
"Who's in the lead?" a calmer atmosphere pervaded the conversation of the two men who walked amidst this chaos.
"Silent Hawk," a look of approval passed between them, their heads lifting for this moment but quickly returning to their mellow posts, "He could lead us well."
"He was one of River's favorites."
A smirk shot across the taller man's face, his head lifting again, "Favoritism has nothing to do with it, this is democracy, competence is what is important."
"Silent Hawk knows what to do, knows how to do it. He is a good man."
"A brave man as well."
"Indeed, only a brave man would take up Mighty River's burden."
"Or a fool."
"Hawk is no fool, he must show us. His job is so much harder than River's. River had only to rule wisely, Hawk must show us that even we men can rule wisely. That it takes not the likes of River to rule."
His compatriot was aghast, "You speak of cheapening the government."
"On the contrary," he looked up again, into the torn eyes of his copmanion, "I speak of freeing it to the common man, despotism is instituted because man beleives it takes a god to rule him, that he is unworthy to have say in the government. Mighty River has built us a ship, his sucessor must set it's course."
Seeing the point his companion nodded, his eyes returning to the ground before him.
"We can only hope it is the right course."
"I am assured that we will be safe in the end."

"My freinds and countrimen, lend me your ears.
"We come here to place a new man at the helm of our nation, to once again declare our unity in the selection of a leader. I am proud to be that man.My only hope is not to sully that image of leadership which has been engraved into our memories, my only prayer is that I lead us wisely.
"I do not promise that it will be an easy journey, it is likely that the years before us are fraught with pain, I only ask that you stand beside us, that we all stand together, as we write our names into history.
"Thank you, my countrimen. I am hinored that you think me worthy to bear this burden. I, Silent Hawk, make a vow, here and now, to lead you as best I can, may the gods of man watch over me and help to guide me to the paths of righteousness for the years ahead. May the Gods bless the United Nations of America."

The years have forges wildly different nations on that beloved continent of ours. We wish you luck on your nation's voyage. We would also like to join the Angle pact which you have forged with the English, I think that it can be agreed that our goals are different enough that we will not face conflict in our acheivement of them and that our nations are similar enough to announce a bond of brotherhood among our peoples.

First off, Silent Hawk, I applaud you in your victory as leader of the might united nations of america. Second, we are glad that you approach America in a peaceful way. We will open-handlingly accept you into the alliance, should England fair well too.

We would like to invite the Iroquois into our alliance. I believe it would be mutual beneficial to our nations. They are willing to leave you all of Rupert's land in Canada for your expansion. We can rename the alliance to NAT, North American Treaty.

Japan [/size
Japan has grown.
The territory has doubled itself.
The navy has grown in more than 50%.
And the first Industry has been built in Tokyo.
The Emperor was still uncomforted with the size and power of Japan.
The navy still couldnt defend against the more powerful countries and the army still used old battle plans and strategies. Still Japan found a great friend who could help them grow, The Americans.
The American already sell 5 Ironclads to Japan to learn how to build their own.
Every year the Americans would sell 1 Ironclad to Japan, Also trade with America has been opened.
The Greeks also helped Japan when they sell some Rifles and the rifles technology to the Japanese for trade rights.
The Greek rifles were the best in the world; Japan made a smart move by buying rifles from them. Soon Japan would send Greece weapons of their own development.
Another Country the Japanese talked to, would just not answer. The Russians.
The Russian Empire was huge. But even with their size they never answered the Japanese messages.
The Emperor have felt anger to the Russians and decided to take over Korea before the Russians will do so.
Korean Expedition (Year-1949 months- 1st in February- 3rd in March)
An army of 3500 men was sent to Korea.
With them, 7 fleets have begun bombarding the Korean capital and main cities.
When the Japanese army landed in Southern Korea, a Korean army was sent to stop it.
The Korean army was small, and had not Riffles at all, but it had proud. The Korea army rushed into the Japanese forces that were still preparing to move North and succeeded in Killing many Japanese. 524 Japanese soldiers fell dead.
Half of the Korean army was destroyed and retreated back to the Capital.
The Emperor was furious of this loose. He sent a new commander to the Japanese armies in Korea; the new commander name was Jakaroto.
The Japanese armies in Southern Korea begun marching into the North, and when they reached the capital the armies stopped and started planning the siege.
Japanese Industry keeps on growing
Today, the 5th in March 5 new factories have been opened in Japan.
The first, a riffle factory that used the Greek Riffle plans in Hiroshima
The second factory was a ship component factory and was built in Kyoto.
The third factory was built in the port of Tokyo. It was an Ironclads factory.
The other factories produced consumer goods.
The new factories have begun producing weapons and goods on the first day of their work.
Japan could now build 1 Ironclad a year and 100 Riffles per month.
People join the Japanese army
Many Japanese, Philippine and Taiwan citizens have begun joining the Japanese army in happiness after hearing the Japanese army its the best in the Far East.
Many Asians in all over the Asia cheered when hearing an Asian power is growing just next to them.
Pacific Settling plan (Year- 1849 months- 4th in January 13th in March)
The Emperor looked at the political maps of Asia.
Far in the sea there were many small islands that their lands were great for farming.
The Emperor decided that Japan should gain control over this island and begin building farms.
After an expedition to check if the islands are good for human settling Japan found out that those islands were empty for human beings.
Japanese people were sent to settle and farm those many islands.
On the first month 3 islands were settled but on the 2 next moths most of the small islands (and some big ones) were fully settled by Japanese civilians.
The Japanese emperor also declared that the Pacific islands occupied by Japanese people are Japanese lands for now on, and forever.
To America:
We shall keep on Buying 1 ships per year from your fine country.
To Greece:
First we wish to thank you for the Riffles you have sold us.
Second we wish to begin talking about a sea alliance, maybe the Open-waters-alliance?
Will you accept joining such alliance with us?

Greece
12,000 soldiers were now on thier way to fight the Romans. Phillip had made sure of that by signing the document. Phillip just hoped they arrived fast.
He didnt like waiting.
*************************************************
Stephan Alexander was about as happy as a soldier on the battlefield could be. The Germans, the main perpetrator of this war, had surrendered, and the Romans were all to likely to do the same.
Still, though, this battle must be fought. A small force of around 150 Romans had held themselves in the woods near a local town. They were planning to terrorize the countryside as long as possible. "I guess they didnt expect a large force to go chasin 'em" raised in America half his life, Stephan had sort of a Greek-American accent.
"Well they were wrong" said his new friend, Johansen. He was black, but being a black in Greece was much eaiser than being a black in Germany. People of all races new that and had fought them to a standstill. Now only Rome remained.
Greek troops began positioning themselves around the woods. Then 3 soldiers rolled in the artillery, being veyr quiet. "1" the sergeant whispered "2.......3!"
The artillery let loose on the forest, toppling trees and forcing Romans to flee. As they did, soldiers shot them down. The Romans got the clue to late. By then, all the 150 had been rounded up and sent off. Coroners meat shop, or jail.
To: Japan
Yes that would be great.
To: Gemany
We acceot your peace.
To: Rome
Please accept peace.

Thats an outrage ! greece claims that we have surrender?! yeah right, it appears he doeasnt have the basic diplomatic skills! bismark laughed as he review his troops, well the war is over boys! yay! the soldiers were happy, ......in the south, bismark said, the russians are still on us, they did not only rejected our peace offer, unlike the wiser greeks, but called upon other nations to declare war on us!
now that we are fighting one front we shall win!, send in everything we got to the russians! lets bombard them like we love to.
soldiers would paint artillery ammo w/ sayings like "have a nice day" or a big fat smiling face, the army was ready and border was behind them, it was time to advance, this time all artillery was defended by squadrons of infantry defending it form russian cavalry, the germans pushed on in scandinavia, but the push ot moscow was much much slower....
To Geece:
from germany:
it is peace ! care to trade? we aer sending some German beer as a present
To russia
from germany:
you did not accepted peace? well you shall meet the whole power of our armys.

OOC: It says I have 9000 troops. Yes I did lose 1000 but there are 5000 newly trained soldiers, so it should be 14000.
It was now July, six months sence the defeat at Lynn Lake. The British had just broken through the Canadian defenses. All of Canada was now clear sailing, until Henry II shows up. Colonel Jones was put in command of a new regiment after the battle, and the remains of his old one integrated into the new one. King George IV knew General Hamilton needed more troops and sent over the 5000 new troops. General Hamilton now had 8000 troops.
-------------------------------
Northern Front-
The first threat was Fort Smith, protecting a passage going east on the northern front. The Canadians had little artillary but Fort Smith had roughly 17 cannons and 300 soldiers. What it lacked in firepower it made up in it's defensive structure and position. It had only one aproach, and that was behind enemy lines.
General Hamilton had 3000 troops stationed in Yellowknife. The town was north of Fort Smith, seperated by a lake. The troops would swing around and hit the fort from behind. The two week march led them right behind the fort. The battle wasn't quick. The troops could only bring a few light morters and the fort was too far from the lake to be hit from there.
It took weeks of bambardment until the fort finally cracked. The Brigade soon launched a full assault and the fort quickly surrendered. Fort Smith was in British hands, but a second fort could be a problem. Fort Simpson was a stratigic point on the Mackenzie river and could halt any advance west.
Two bardges speed up the river to attack the fort. The were attacke dwith small cannon fire. The bardges fired back. Soon 700 Redcoats landed and went of towards the fort. King Henry had only left 2 cannons and 50 men. The fort was taken in an hour.
------------------------------------
In March the British launched an attack on Fort Chipewyan. It was the last target before heading further west.It was the largest of forts but was left undefended. Most forts were now defenseless. Over the next four months 4 more forts fell to the Britisgh. This allowed the British to expand to the Canadian Rockies in the north.
To the South was the cities laying nesr the Iriqouis border. One was the new capital, Edmonton. The king was preparing a final showdown at Edmonton to push the British back once and for all. General Hamilton would try and prove otherwise.
-------------------------------------
Meanwhile in Australia-
The five British fleets arrived in Sydney in late january. The Australian people welcomed the British ships. They had yet to become piowerful on their own, and had barly surrivived without Britian. Sydnay and nearby coastasl towns and cities joined the British and the 1000 troops made a command post.
Unfortunetly not all of Australia welcomed the British. The Brits were only in control of a small portion of the coast. The rest of Australia still wanted to stay free, and they would fight to do so. The British soldiers made no move to take more land. They needed more supplies and soldiers to push ahead.

Warman, did you accept the deal which i had the Americans present to you?
I am afraid that I will be unable to reconcil;e myself with a British takeover of more than Rupert's land. I would honestly hate to see bad feelings between our nations, but I assure you that further agression will ensure them.

I sincirely hope that the British government may consider the Iriquois proposal for the division of Northern lands:
We may compromise, but the United Nations of America will not stand for a total British conquest.
