Alternate history of 1914
The World before the Great War / Background
Europe
The World before the Great War / Background
Europe
The old continent of Europe. Iberia has been formed 40 years ago and the government has proclaimed their destiny to rule the Iberia. Ottoman empire has been neutral in terms of foreign politics because of the independence movements in their lands but the Ottomans succeeded in crushing the revolts and even conquered some land from the sole government of communists, which is Austria… In other way “the sick german” (thanks to crippled economy, government and poor army).Austria is going to collapse in the near future.
France has formed alliance with Russia ( The Alliance of intérêt & интерес(interest)) to counter the alliance of "Mighty Order" (UK + Iberia + Italy) and to counter the Germany, which conquered Masovia (Warsaw) from Russia in 1875 but in 1907 Russia conquered it fastly back. Mainly thanks to the events, which were occuring in Germany at this time. There were massive demonstrations against the authoritarian government, thanks to this, liberals reformed the entire government and switched from Absolute monarchy to a Constitutional Monarchy and ofcourse created parliament in which liberals had a main voice. Now in Europe there is a growing tension and a diplomatic fight for sphere of influence. The Great powers are using their power to get more allies / puppets. The battle contains Scandinavia, Benelux and the Ottoman Empire. The growing tension has been created mainly by the Alliance of intérêt & интерес(Modernizing army, propaganda, border clashes in Africa etc.). In both Alliances are ruling Jingoists (Warmongers). The Europe is under the horrors of war, but this realize only intellectuals, the lower classes are "clapping" to their governments. Europe has been in peace for 30 years. People forget what is to wage a war on their Homeland..

Asia
Taiping has won the revolution 70 years ago but now the government is fighting with the warlords to proclaim the chinese "mandate". British are still growing their power in India and are preparing to conquer some land from weak government of Taiping, Dutch are growing their power in Indonesia and Siam to secure these colonies for a long time.Korea is under Iberia to secure korean peace. Japan is enormously ambitious and capable of waging a war, but lacks a proper navy (against Iberia which is a main player in this Area). Japan tried to launch an offensive on Korea and Philippines but Iberia destroyed entire japanese navy and imposed a great blockage to stop their ambitions, now the Japan is totally isolated and dependent on Iberian trade, but the russians are through the “black trails” supplying japanese with material, which is used on making battleships and heavy armament. The Region of Afghanistan is waged in tribal wars for nearly 40 years.
North America
USA has been shattered by the alliance of "Mighty Order". Their main goal was to dominate all of the Americas. CSA has been supported by Iberia from the hole beginning, in the civil war, Iberia sent the most needed guns and even pushed the Mexico to help them (Note : The Western America never came under USA thanks to Iberian presence. New England was under UK government but was given desired independence in 1910. After 4 years the government has been seized by the fascists thanks to “March on Boston” which forced the acting government to flee into Canada. On 9 of July 1914 Iberia and UK had a meeting in Madrid to discuss the new fascist government in New England, this meeting was a failed one thanks to a growing tension in Europe.
South and Central America
Dominated totally by Iberian Government. Independence movements have been crushed many years ago but now there is forming a new pacifist movement of Independence, Iberia is centering their power and diplomacy capability into North America and mainly into Europe. In 1825 the main rebellions have been crushed by Spain and in 1843 the central america and Mexico have been brought under Spain administration. In 1874 Iberia has been formed in Europe and the Portugal Assembly 3 years ago started to call for a war to set up a puppet in Brazil. The Iberian politicians really liked this idea, but at this time they were already waging a war in Morocco and Angola against separatists. In 1884 there was a nationwide referendum, The Question was an easy one “Declare war against Brazil and put there a puppet regime ? “. Turnout was 78 % and 81 % answered “ YES “ … In 1886 Brazil was defeated and in 1890 The Iberian Government declared themself as the “Guardians of Americas”.Africa
The Africa became a living warfare of small battalions between The Alliance of “Mighty Order” and The Alliance of intérêt & интерес. Most battles took part in the Libya - Tunisia region / Uganda - Tanganyika region and the Wadai region. Battles always contained maximum of 5K armies on both sides. About 68 % of battles has been won by The Alliance of “Mighty Order”. The biggest region war happened in 1908, Russia tried to seize Tunisia region from Iberia, the russians marched on Tunis. the main city of region. The Battle for the city contained 40K russians and 25K “iberians”, thanks to masterminded general of first Tunisian Army, the city was defended. This Region war started a calling for war in the The Alliance of “Mighty Order”...
I hope you enjoyed this part and get some hype for next part which will explain directly what led to Great War.
