Update 1893
Non Military Events
Russian territory claims
The New Russian Government has decided to take a small patch of land from the USSR to break the borders even. While this increasingly puts faith in Tsar Nicolas II, it has shown that the Soviet Government has no back bone in matters with New Russia
(-1 Confidence to USSR, +1 Confidence to New Russia)
Shortest War ever
The British Government issued a declaration of war to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for hurling insults. However, within five minutes, a peace was settled, that lasted for about 3 months (See Below)
Sicily Declares Independence
On February 2nd, the Sicilian people declared Independence from France with the help of Britain. It has done this under a Fascist Government, and is already started a world class navy, and has entered the Great War on Britain’s side
(+Sicily as an independent nation)
French colonies gain independence
Italy, Malaysia, and French West Africa have all been given Independence, and now are in the French Commonwealth. There have been some key moments, but of the three, two lose independence.
(+Mali, Italy, Malaysia as Independent nations)
Technology Breakthrough
A Russian scientist named Paul Ziegler has come up with a theory of “Nuclear Energy”. It seems when you pull two atoms apart, a massive amount of energy is released. This has given Russians a huge source of pride
(+Nuclear theory to New Russia, +1 Confidence to New Russia)
Britain’s Economy soars
With the plundering of France and the East Indies, British cities around the world get quite wealthy.
(+Bath, Edinburgh, Delhi, Alexandria, Wellington, as eco centers)
Vietnamese workers detained
The Mexican navy, deciding that a Vietnamese dominated Panama canal could seriously hurt Mexico, stopped the Vietnamese workers from landing. No Civilians were hurt.
Ottoman Empire Proclaimed
While giving a speech on the new conquests, Ziya Pasha, dictator for life, was killed. The current caliph, Mehmed Resad, has decided to take over, and has proclaimed the New Ottoman Empire, and is now ruling with a constitution. Many Turks are happy at the return of the Caliph, and hope to be returned to the former glory of the empire that was.
(+2 Ottoman Confidence)
Capital Changed
The new Ottoman Empire has declared its new capital to be Istanbul, to bring back the absent Ottoman Pride. This has brought back much pride and dignity.
Russia takes land from the Reich
Russia decided to start to take action upon Germany. During late August, Russia has forcefully taken the Baltic States. It is in the hope that the Germans will finally listen.
(-1 German Confidence)
Russia moves to science
In a bold move, the Russian government decided to cut back on religion. They have required schools to stop teaching about religion, and start teaching the theory of evolution, physics, and other sciences, in the hope of a brighter future.
Military events
Siege of Paris Broken
1…2…3…Fire! General Dimitrivi was quite pleased. Fighter Planes and Tanks were pouring into Paris, relieving the besieged forces of Paris. General Hitler was killed in the battle (And the Holocaust went with him….I think), and the Germans fled back towards Von Berig’s Camp in the South. This is a major confidence boost to the people, but many civilians suffered, as 1 million French Civilians were killed in the retreat.
(-20,000 French Infantry, -30,000 German Infantry, -The Holocaust, -1,000,000 French Civilians)
Vietnam War
On May third, the Dutch and British Governments, declared war upon Vietnam. Vietnamese territory in the East Indies have fallen to the Dutch, especially her air force, which is now world renowned and called “The Jewels of the East”. However, Vietnamese underwater boats called submarines have held the Coalition from getting nothing but a small landing on the Singapore peninsula.
(-Malaysia as an independent nation, -1,000 Vietnamese Militia, -5 Vietnamese Destroyers, -1 Vietnamese Submarine, -5,000 Dutch Infantry, -1 Dutch Bomber, -3 Dutch Fighters)
Mali annexed
The last French colony has been captured, as the British made a massive assault upon Timbuktu. It held for 2 weeks, but it fell, symbolizing near total British rule in Africa.
(-Mali as an Independent nation, -3,000 British Infantry)
French navy destroyed
While the French Navy was patroling, a few British ships fired upon them. At first it wasn't much, but pretty soon, the entire French Navy had sunk to the bottom of the seas.
(-French Navy)
Singapore Attacked
With their new Air Force, the Dutch attacked Singapore. The Vietnamese were unprepared, but coastal guns and submarines have kept the invaders at bay. The Vietnamese have been able to keep the city supplied, but the Dutch are closing in.
(-3 Dutch Transports, -2 Dutch Bombers, -3,000 Dutch Infantry, -1 Vietnamese submarine)
Germany driven out of France
With Austria occupied by Yugoslavia, General DeGaule took his army, and snuck around the Alps, and used Tanks to crush the Germans, and then used his remaining troops to push the Germans across the border. Will the French invade Germany? Only time will tell….
(-10,000 French Militia, -5 French Light Tanks, +2 Confidence to France, -5,000 German infantry)
Quebec declares Independence
Quebec’s culture has been long oppressed by the United States and Canada. On May 17th they could stand it no longer, and declared Independence. The U.S. Government sent about 500 militia to crush it, but it utterly failed, and all who took part in it were killed or captured.
(-500 U.S. Militia, +Quebec as an Independent nation)
Rebellion in India
Near the Iranian-Indian Border, a rebel group of muslims has declared that India be free of British rule. The British are currently unaware of who the leader is, but they have placed likely candidates into Australian Prison camps. For now, it has only spread to the North East and Sri Lanka.
(+Rebels in India, Sri Lanka, -1 British Confidence)
November
See Spotlight
December
A Bloody Christmas
The Dutch attack was much less known. It was at about 1 AM on Christmas day, when under the cover of night, Dutch troops stormed Amsterdam. By Morning, the Dutch Flag flew over the city, and the Drunken Germans either found themselves in a dark prison or dead.
(-5,000 German Infantry)
Spotlight: Fall of an Empire (Kind of crappy)
The Austrian-Hungarian Empire was formed at about 1492. 2 weeks after its 501st anniversary, it broke up. Slavic, Italian and Romanian troops all poured in to attack Vienna. 1 week later, they liberated Budapest, and the Republics of Austria and Hungry were declared It has been a 501 year wait, but now, all of those who have suffered can finally rest with the Austrian threat gone.
(+Austria, Hungry as Independent nations)
The Question is, will the war end soon? The Great war has gone on for four years. Two Empires have fallen. Will the Germans have surrender before a march on Berlin occurs? Please let peace come. (Not!)
