This is not a peace treaty - it is an invitation to war in a generation's time :D And that is the optomistic estimate :)
 
For sure Japan was total and absolute winner of the war in asia. Lets not even mention France and Russia had a mutilated victory. Could troubles rise in Americas, im very interested in what could happen next.
 

Beyond 1920

World after the Great War

On 1 of September 1920 the peace was officially called in every state and in TAC this day was made as the national day.World was in ruins as some would put it.. But other would say that the world was actually entering into a bright future. TAC pursued progress, unity and democracy values. Russia created a new Alliance with Japan to ensure their interests,this Alliance was named “Greater Asia Pact”. Not only Europe, but the world was standing on “death bodies”... The casualties were enormously high….

Now the World was divided between two sides : The TAC (Trans Atlantic Commonwealth) and GAP (GreaterAsia Pact).

Europe

TAC created a new initiative(Montaner Plan), which would aim to rebuild France, New England region and Belgium which were destroyed by war. As we said earlier the TAC wanted to have France as the capable and proper member of the alliance. Even the military industries were not destroyed or changed but these industries were forced to be under control of independent TAC economic unity for next 10 years(this was called “The Safe Military Industry initiative”). The only state which distanced from this initiative was UK, which disagreed with the plan from the beginning but in the end they cooperated. TAC was highly afraid of central and eastern Europe which was not under their control (but was in their sphere of influence). In Austria communists were in power by totalitarian rule, balkans were in “border wars”, where every state claimed others territories, Romania and Transylvania was an another problem. TAC wanted to have an united and stable Europe against the GAP. On 25 of January 1921 European states were invited(Officially invited but they were quite forced thanks to TAC power) into Berlin to discuss a “redrawing” of borders. All states accepted and were “proposed” a treaty, which was named “Berlin Treaty on Europe” and contained :




  • Romania will annex Transylvania (Accepted but hungarian people will be evicted into Hungary)

  • Greece, Albania and Bulgaria will systematically evict their turkish citizens to Turkey in 2 years (Accepted) (Note : Total amount of turkish people in balkans was circa 5 million)

  • Albania will hand over Janina to Greece and Ulcinj to Serbia (Accepted)

  • Greece will be given Crete (Accepted)

  • Serbia will hand over Slavonia to Croatia (Accepted)

  • Croatia will hand over Kotor to Serbia (Accepted)

  • Bosnia will be partitioned between Croatia and Serbia (Accepted but bosniak people will have greater autonomy and will have their own national assembly)

  • Montenegro will be annexed by Serbia(Montenegro refused. War is declared and in one day Montenegro surrenders.)

  • Galicia-Lodomeria government (controls Lesser Poland region.) is annexed by Germany and ukrainian lands are given to Ruthenia (Accepted)

  • Austrian communist government will be dissolved and a new democratic government will take place with fresh elections. (Refused. War is declared, Hungarian state declares independence, austrian generals with soldiers are refusing to fight and take arms against the communists, civil war erupts in every austrian city and German with Italian armies are marching on Vienna where the main battle is taking a place. When Germans came into the city the communists surrenders. Democratic puppet is set by TAC)

  • Austria must give independence to Hungary and Slovenia (Accepted)

  • Balkan states will start a resettle of their citizen (Croatian people to Croatia, Serbian people to Serbia etc.)

  • All present states will join TAC (Accepted, only state which refused on first proposal was Serbia but in the end they accepted mainly thanks to new land in Bosnia and the “East Europe Progress Fund”)
Treaty is signed on 21 of February and a new initiative is created by TAC. An “East Europe Progress Fund” which will help the eastern states to stabilize their countries and progress into better future.

In France there are now several revolution movements. The main is named Résistance, King vit!(Resistance, King lives(RK)), which want to restore the old order. France is now parliamentary democracy and is fighting against these movements but the main fighting is occuring in occupation zones. Assassinations, Sabotaging, even some gun fights are presented. TAC created a new task force named “TAC fast response unit to terrorism” (TFRUT) to fight these terrorist movements. This response unit was highly effective and in the course of 2 years destroyed over 60% of revolutionary organized crimes. On 5 of April 1921 Iberian minister of foreign affairs and minister of economics are in Paris to discuss with french government a bigger implementation of Montaner Plan. It is strongly publicized to show how the TAC is implementing their progressivism values. RK exploits this and mobilize their forces. 5000 men and women armed with weapons now opened fire and marched on government building, where the iberian and french ministers were presented. TFRUT was prepared to any danger, but nobody expected 5000 revolutionaries in Paris. RK had a luck and captured prime minister of France Raymond Poincaré. They executed him in the government building. 2000 revolutionaries are killed in seizing of government building. TFRUT is now besieging the government building and going to attack by full force. After 3 hours fighting is over and 432 revolutionaries are captured alive. On the next day they are publicly executed in front of the destroyed eiffel tower.This action by RK sparked fear among the french citizen so the TAC expanded TFRUT into a capable army (35K soldiers) to stop any terrorist action in future. First action of this army was the march from Brest, Toulouse, Toulon, Calais and Nancy into the heart of Paris. Through their way they will arrest any suspicious RK persons. Nearly 8000 people are arrested. 2500 of them are executed thanks to information which is convincing them of terrorist actions. The rest is moved to prisons across the TAC nations.

On 30 of November 1922 occupation zones are returned to Paris. RK have been eliminated (Politicians said this but reality was different) and France is now stabilized. Montaner plan will help rebuild the France in next 10 years.

Dunkirk will be handed over to Netherlands because 80% of population is flemish and Corsica will remain in Italian state.

I am curious about Ruthenian state. How come Russian Empire didn't protest the appearance and existance of the separate and independent state of Ukrainians if there are plenty of Ukraine in the Empire? Or is it a secret ploy and weapon against the GAP?
I wonder if there will be World War II between TAC and GAP... because of Greeks seeking to fight off Constantinople from Russians :D

And congratulations to Iberia managing to keep their colonies!
 
The more one looks at that map, the more I feel that future conflict is absolutely inevitable.
 
Ruthenia = the state didn't want to anger russia ... they never acknowledged their eastern lands to save their state. Russia was busy with Germany and poland separatism. Now Ruthenia is in TAC so guess what :)
Indonesia = in terms of government yes but in terms of infrastructure, army etc. no .... GAP helped those countries to be ebstablished because they wanted to have a stable countries ofcourse
 

Middle East

Turkey was now in turmoil, Government was led by “Turkish” Assembly, which was composed of 125 people, 80 of them was russian nationality… Turkey was a puppet of Russia and 95% of trade was related to Russia. Turkey government couldn’t have active army, only could control police force. As was mentioned earlier Istanbul was renamed to Constantinople and in 1922 35% of citizen was russian nationality. From balkan there would be moved 5 million people into Turkey. Kurdistan evicted 90% of its turkish population (circa 700 000). Iraq had the biggest problem with turkish people… In population of 2.85 million, 45% of it was turkish nationality, that could not be just evicted … So the government made a new law, accept mashriqi/bedouin culture or be evicted into Turkey …. 75% of turkish people accepted new nationality.

After the Great war Iraq and Kurdistan joined TAC to secure their independence. The only non-aligned state was Nejd, it had 1.55 million population. Russia invested heavily into Nejd. Nejd in 1922 joined GAP mainly thanks to investment. TAC didn’t care about this state.

Africa

Africa was now entering into a new age…. an Age of darkness and brightness. TAC signed a new treaty in Cairo on 26 of January 1921 to implement a “progress and modernization” act which would help modernize and industrialize African continent. In the course of next 5 years the british african part would be in fire. Other TAC states implemented bigger autonomy over the african colonies and were trying to solve things peacefully. The British were solving the things violent/barbaric way. Egypt with several other states called for a bigger autonomy but british rejected. All over the british african colonies were protests…. Protests were putting down with a brute force, estimate deaths are 20K… The main action tooked in Egypt where 12K egyptians marched on main british government building in Cairo and start protesting, british sent an army to end the protest and 5K egyptians were killed. Other states start calling for a change because this is not what a democracy stands for(As Italian minister putted in Rome in 1922). After numerous debates and violent protests the british stepped down and implemented bigger autonomy over african colonies. On 29 of August 1926 Iberia gave independence to several african countries, the only demand was to stay in TAC alliance and protect democracy values. In the course of next 5 months Iberia urged other states to grant independence to african countries, Netherlands and Germany went with stream and granted independence to several african countries, only the british were still trying to oppose but the decolonization could not be stopped without brute force, which UK never used again in Africa. In 1931 UK finally gave independence to last country in Africa, it was Egypt. GAP tried to seize opportunity and tried to gain some states into GAP, but none accepted the offer.
 
Well iam using mod so its not possible. But maybe i will try to do it manually. But perhaps i would rather continue in writing without the game. It would allow me to do more detailed scenarions etc.. Do you want me to continue in posting of my writing without the game ?
 
Sorry for a big delay. I was quite busy and i will be busy :/ . But i will try to post every week atleast once


Americas


Americas were entering into a golden age. Peace was in all of Americas, Democracy too … Economy was just rising. GDP growth in Americas was on average 7.56 % annually (USA in 1962 was 6.1 % in reality for example). In Europe it was on average 4.02 % annually…. Latin American states were calling for an independence in their states, because they were still controlled as puppets from Madrid (Iberia), mass protests tooked place in every major latin american city. This was continuing for 1 year, but on 29 of January 1922 protesters raided main iberian colonial government building, which was in Panama city. Firstly Iberian government wanted to act with aggression but wiser thoughts prevailed. So on 12 of February 1922 the Iberia invited every american state and UK into Panama meeting to discuss the future of Americas. Latin american states wanted independence, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, central american states and Panama were still under direct Iberian control… Canada and Mexico as the main negotiators formed “Freedom Pact” to impose their demands, latin american states joined this ofcourse too, CSA joined them too. The demands from the Freedom pact were clear… Give independence to every state in Americas… The only demand from UK and Iberia was to maintain TAC alliance and Democratic regimes. After several hours of negotiations Iberia and UK accepted the “Panama Treaty on Freedom”... These states were granted freedom : Mexico, Canada, United states of Central America, New Granada (Colombia), Venezuela, United Guyana, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile.. USCA invited every member state into Guatemala to discuss the union. Every member state accepted the federal government and the union was proclaimed. Fascist all over the Americas were prosecuted and killed .. In chile they tried to putch the democratic government, Chile was in civil war for 1 and a half year. Santiago was destroyed from 60%. When the civil war was going for a year the TAC finally mobilized the TFRUT and sent help to destroy the fascists army. After 6 months the fighting was over and the survived fascists ran into mountains. New Chile Democratic government emerged….

Asia


China was in debacle, warlords era came and power was now distributed between three states : Beying China, Nationalist China and Qinghai. Beying and Nationalist were in war and in 1922 after three years of fighting the Beying China won. After three months the Beying China waged a war against the last states in China and after 2 years won …. China in February 1924 was united under one banner. GAP actively and highly supported Beying China to secure their victories. On 25 of August 1924 GAP invited China into Takao(city of Taiwan) to discuss the joining of China into GAP. China refused, but made a demand that every their territory will be given back and then they will come to discuss. GAP accepted and so on 27 of August 1924 there was a Takao Treaty which was composed of :

  • China will join GAP

  • China will be given back Taiwan and several ports

  • Manchukuo will be annexed by China but will maintain autonomy for the Manchu people

  • Tibet will be annexed by China (Tibet refused, three long week war starts)

  • Vladivostok region will be given to China

GAP created a new initiative which would aim to modernize China the “Takashi Plan” (Named after PM of Japan Hara Takashi, who was acting as PM from 1914 to 1926). Other member states opposed this because their parts needed help too but the main Japan and Russia refused and helped only China because of their ambition to become a strong power. Meanwhile from 1921 there were several rebel movements in India and Australia which wanted independence or greater autonomy, they were ofcourse highly supported by GAP but secretly. TAC in August of 1923 expanded TFRUT into Asia parts. Now TFRUT was in all over the world to keep democratic order. 120K soldiers all over the world, trained and well armed to end any rebellions. TAC were highly expanding and promoting TFRUT to fight GAP proxies which were now in Australia, India and Africa. Australian government was weak thanks to their political scandals, Australian Labour party was in power for 10 years and in 1919 it became clear that the main members of the party were highly corrupted. In 1919 Liberal party won the election with 68% but in 1920 there was an article published by main australian newspapers that the PM (from the Liberal party and the ruler of party) has a connections with Japan and is not doing his job in favour of australians/TAC. Protests were going in every major city and GAP proposed a delegation which would help australian people to make a new democratic elections. President of Australia refused and invited immediately TAC delegation to ensure democratic elections. In May 1923 were new elections. New political party was created and was named “Australians against TAC!” (AAT), their political program was simple, leave TAC and join GAP. UK government came into action, with their fleet they blockaded main ports of australia and occupied main government buildings in Sydney. President knew this and was calming down the australian people (he was highly popular, because from 1915 he was fighting against Labour corruption.). UK imposed a puppet government, banned AAT and called for a fresh democratic elections. New coalition of parties was created the “Australia for Democracy” (AD), supported by president. Elections with turnout of 82%, secured fair and right elections and AD won with 63% of votes. Australia was now secured and GAP falled back.

Meanwhile India was in fires. GAP supported several revolution movements there, The three main were : The Muslim Revolution Movement (MRM) based on Pakistan Territory, The Sikh Rebels (SR) based in Punjab region and The Hyderabadi Secession which wanted the Hyderabad independent.

TFRUT was now fighting in Islamabad, Karachi, Bangalore, Punjab and Hyderabad. Massive street fights between the TFRUT and revolutionary forces were normal in these cities. TFRUT was slowly winning in Pakistan territory. SR were the most aggressive one movement, attacking hospitals, schools etc.. People were now against the SR and the sikh religion was fastly losing their followers because British government condemned the Sikh priests of propaganda against the state and banned sikhism, people in punjab supported this because they ofcourse wanted peace. The biggest problem was the Hyderabadi rebels, on 25 of July 1924 Hyderabad declared independence, GAP immediately send army into Hyderabad to secure their independence, 120K men were mobilized to defend Hyderabad, the biggest contingent was the japanese one, 45K men with most modern equipment ready to defend japanese interests. UK called for a help in TAC to conquer Hyderabad, Iberia and Italy promised help with some divisions, british mobilized their 200K strong army in India. Now they marched on Hyderabad, TAC sent 3 day ultimatum to GAP to pull of their forces out of Hyderabad. GAP refused and TAC attacked the Hyderabad …. Now the british army marched on Bengal too. this could mean a violation of Tokyo Treaty which condemned any movements of TAC armies in Bengal but TAC stopped at the line, which was set in Tokyo Treaty. War in Hyderabad broke out, Fighting was happening everywhere on the front, TAC new tanks developed by Germany were effective and surprised japanese army. After 43 days of fighting the forces encircled main city of Hyderabad. Hyderabad capitulated next day and the 45K strong GAP forces were captured, TAC will use this as political lever against the GAP in the near future. Now with Hyderabad annexed and autonomy canceled, the fighting against the SR and MRM was going to an end. TAC now urged British to implement bigger autonomy over India to stop any creation of new separatist movements, british accepted and created several national assemblies across the India. But still the smaller fightings were taking a part in several parts of India.
 
Asia does sound a bit messy.
 
Hello guys, again sorry for a big delay. Right now iam doing driving license + work and other things so not that much time for a writing, but still i got something ! I hope you will enjoy.


GAP

GAP have 2 status of membership : Ruler - Japan, Russia and China = Ruling and have the last word. Japan is the strongest member of the Alliance. // Puppet - Korea, Philippines, Vietnam etc. = Must obey to ruling members, states are exploited to benefit rulers, for example Korea must send 80% of its natural resources to Japan in 30% of price. GAP is ruled by order, power and authoritarian values. China was now highly benefiting from joining GAP because of the Takashi Plan which was modernizing China. In 1925 when China was modernized from 60% the GAP created a new initiative the “Greater Asian Bank” which was lending money to puppet states to modernize themselves, this created a massive debt ofcourse and ensured that these states will never break out of GAP. At it seemed GAP was now highly federalized, and was going to be more. In 1927 GAP signed a new treaty the “Hǎishēnwǎi Treaty” (Vladivostok treaty) which was composed of :

  • A trade union between the states(no trade tariffs between Rulers)

  • Bigger cooperation of armies(more exercises, better communication, Implementation of same equipment)

  • An united navy in Asia(Japan will oversee it)

  • A free movement of Japanese, Russian and Chinese citizens(This was controversial because Japan in upcoming years refused 25K chinese out of 30K, this spooked an outrage in China, but was silenced by the fact that there was Takashi Plan)

  • A new research fund is created, into this fund will be given big money to catch up TAC modernization

  • Rulers must spend at least 5% of GDP to military (Japan already is spending 12.4% and rising, Russia is spending 9,62%, Only China was not spending that much, only 1.86% thanks to rebuilding and modernization of nation)

  • Puppets must spend 15% of GDP into military
GAP by this movement wanted to counter bigger TAC. The power was centralized into Tokyo and Moscow (better to note that the Tokyo(Japan) had bigger power), China was still missing strong modern economy but that will change.



Next Time we will talk about TAC (Hope next week to wednesday).
 
After a long long long pause, I'am returning to writing, i hope somebody is still interested :p .


TAC
TAC was mainly ruled by socialists and liberals, sometimes by conservatives but they were reliant on the socialists and liberals eventually. TAC was democratic alliance which was build on jingoistic propaganda, which was after Great war publicly denounced thanks to massive dead in the war (Yes people highly supported the war before the war, but after the war they saw the reality), Political parties thanks to this changed their view on war, now everywhere were ruling pacifist opinions, people didn’t want another Great war so they were protesting against any kind of war. Thanks to this the deconolazitation could happen that fast in Africa. Now peace was in Americas, Europe and Africa. Eastern europe was highly militarized thanks to russian borders, only in this scenario the people were for military. France was stabilizing and the Montaner plan was highly successful, new government in Paris was highly supporting TAC and the RK was losing support in people(But still they were secretly hiding and trying to mobilize to a new revolution). Germany now stabilized their politics and finally after 20 years the country was stabilized and the people were happy and satisfied with the government, in 1927 (after India crisis, note : Germany sent over 3000 men to help british) there was a public survey, which asked 10000 people if they agree with membership in TAC, even if the Germany is sending money to France, Africa, Americas to modernize countries. 73% reply with “yes”. Other states were satisfied with TAC too, but after 1928 when the London treaty was signed the Alliance switched purpose. The London Treaty was signed on 28 of October 1928 and was composed of :

  • At least 2% of GDP must be spend in military. (American countries 0.75 %)

  • a New initiative is created : a TAC council which will design future plans and will try to find what is best for the Alliance (The council will be based in London)

  • a new Bank is created to help less modernized countries to get money and to solve trade problems between the countries : The “Progressive Bank” based in London too

  • Free press will be in every TAC country (Latin American countries were highly against this but in the end they switched their policies to free press after main TAC members urged them to do so)

  • A new intergovernmental organization is created The “Association of Free Democratic Nations”(AFDN) which will promote freedom, democracy, progress and stability. TFRUT will be assigned to this organizations to implement their will. AFDN will have a 50K strong army which can act in their name. This organization will answer to a council which will examine and approve AFDN actions, members of the council will be Iberia, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, CSA, Canada, GAP council (Japan. Russia. China states) African council(one african state which will change every one year). Mexico And Brazil. It will be based in Warsaw.

TAC in Americas from 1926 was starting to lose public and political support. Several surveys showed disapproval with TAC mainly thanks to fighting in India, why would american countries fight or pay for European wars in Asia ? Another problem with TAC was for example the forced free press and so from the 1928 american countries were starting debates about staying or leaving the Alliance. CSA, Mexico, Canada and Brazil as the main countries in Americas urged other american countries to follow them. All accepted and so the new American Summit was going to happen in Mexico City to discuss a creation of a new Alliance and a leave from TAC. Iberia and British were invited (Other members of TAC not) into this summit. Summit was held on 5 of September 1929. Iberia and British made a clear speech. It was spoke by an Iberian prime minister. “We colonized you. We modernized you. We built you. We ensured peace and democracy in you. We were fighting for you. After all of this We gave you independence in peaceful way. Now you are going to turn back on us ?! How could you !? After what we have done for you ! World is after the Great War, After the birth of american fascism. We killed Fascism and saved by this move America. Now the world is going into fires again. The Indian war ensured us that we cannot seek peace with GAP. I will not beg you to stay in TAC, Its your choice but leaving would destabilize american continent and give option to a new rise of fascism.”. The only demand was set by TAC. Give referendum to people in every country if they want to leave TAC. American countries accepted and so the referendums were going on the way. In every state the turnout was at least 80% (The only exception was Brazil where the turnout was 61%).

The first number is “yes”, the second is “no”. Question was “Stay in TAC?”

  • Argentina 52%-48%

  • Brazil 33%-67%

  • Peru 63%-37%

  • Guyana 75%-25%

  • Chile 53%-47%

  • Mexico 68%-32%

  • USCA 72%-28%

  • CSA 65%-35%

  • Canada 63%-47%

  • Granada 57%-43%

  • Venezuela 59%-41%
In several states the options “yes” was ahead only by few percents but the answer from people was in political heads now. American Countries will stay in TAC, only Brazil will leave TAC, mainly thanks to invasion of Iberia which was in people’s minds even after the many years, Brazil is marching into dangerous future. Iberian Prime minister delivered a big thanks to American citizens and ensured them of a brighter future inside the Alliance and the “Union” (This is for the first as the Alliance is called “Union”).
