This is it the final update before the revolution... part 1 of 2.
This update is filled with twists so enjoy! I was too lazy to italicize everything, so i ask you all to pretend it is.
Nicholas II inherited an empire at war with nations whose rulers were his own blood, so many years Russian soldiers died on the frontlines of Germany to achieve. The areas that the Russians occupied, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and East Prussia, would one day become the Baltic States, but the Tsar treated them cruelly; he was not their liberator from German rule, he ordered his soldiers to pillage the country side to get what they needed, and after decades of Tsarist Occupation the country side was brown with the dirt of untilled fields and grey with the clutter of rubble.
While the soldiers had barely moved in 10 years, Germany continued to reinforce the oder. The longer the Russians waited to make their move the harder it would be. When Nicholas the II took the throne the stalemate looked like it was about to end; American troops had just captured Denver and American troops in France had aided the French in capturing Venice. Nicholas II ordered his soldiers to cross the Oder at all costs, a bad decision, because the cost would be high indeed
At dawn on the fine Morning of March 1st, 1900. Tens of Thousands of Russian troops rose from their trenches to cross the oder river. The spring melt waters had flooded the banks of the river and mad the soldier task even more difficult, but the Tsar refuses to postpone the battle. No division made it across intact, the meager few of the divisions that did not get cut down regrouped to the north and South of the city of Berlin; of the soldiers that tried to cross directly in Berlin, not one lived to tell the tale of the enormous blunder of the Tsars. Canons fired constantly from the Russian side of the River, while machine guns tore the Russian lines to shreds. When the Tsar was informed of the casualties he instructed his advisors to draft more troops to replace them. He had no respect for the lives of his populace. Nonetheless new troops were sent in to occupy the trenches, but desertion rates climbed, and these deserters overwhelmingly support the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, a young man of 30, but when he spoke, everyone listened. He called for a government when the decisions were made to benefit the people, and everyone shared in the work and the rewards, he called for Russia to become a Marxist nation. The Bolsheviks were not the only ones to support the idea of Marxism; the Mensheviks also supported the final vision, but disagreed with the Bolsheviks on the road to the vision. The Mensheviks thought that Russian society had to first evolve into a Industrial, Bourgeois Democratic society, while the Bolsheviks support the idea of taking control by force and Transforming Russia into a an Industrial Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Disputes between these two groups postponed the revolution and extended the cruel life of the Tsars.
By 1902, Russian casualties mounted as the Tsar attempted to surround Berlin. He was successful but Berlin continued to fight and the Russian army was eroded away. The Russian army was spread thin and so while Russia had forces all over germany they were to few are far between, and so the Russian retreat began. The other allies were doing much better, the Americans captured Santa Fe from Spain.
Inca declared war on Spain, then Aztec on Inca, I also learnt about a war between Inca and America vs. Mali, so I implemented these into my world war.
Germany and Spain saw their defeats were imminent thanks to the fresh recruits from America, and so they got Mexico to declare war on America and the rest of the Allies. They also got Mali to declare war on the Allies to threaten the French colonies. In response to this the Allies got the Andean alliance to declare war on the axis and threaten Spanish colonies. America withdrew her European troops to America to combat the Spanish Texan and Mexican forces.
Since Arabia was at war with the defunct Caliphate of Persia, the only neutral nation was Egypt, but it supported the Allies over the Axis, with almost the entire world at war people began to call this the war to end all wars they were far from correct, this war had truly became the First World War.
For many years the Russian Army retreated back into Poland. They cross the Wita with heavy hearts, the sacrifices of their comrades had all been in vain, because they were back to where they were when the war began. The people began expressing their discontent with the government by striking in whole cities at a time, the Tsar simply sent in the Cossacks and shot at the demonstrators. More people were behind Lenin, who was one of the Tsars most wanted main. He had to be in self-imposed exile but still sent reassurances the Bolsheviks by telegraph.
We have finally reached 1914, the actual date of World War 1! The French are showing that they truly are Frog eating surrender monkeys by keeping on getting peace with Spain and Germany, which means I have to world builder in another war.
In 1914, the Americans Captured Texas, while the Chinese attacked Mexico from the Pacific Ocean. Chinese Afghanistan was capture by India, and so a new front of aggression emerged from the south and the Tsars army is exhausted from fighting (Non-existent) German forces. The people are scared and are willing to support anyone who will stop the war. The Russian retreat has brought they back to the pre-war border. The people prepare for armed rebellion
