[Forum Game] - World in Revolution: 1861 Mk. II

[Ranger900]

People of South Asia, our time comes! We have shown that the British Empire can be broken, that we can win the independence of our ancestors. The independence your grandfathers fought for when the British destroyed the last great independent nations of South Asia in the name of allowing a company to rule us as they saw fit. The independence your fathers and brothers fought for when the British stole what last remaining independence we had just a short few years ago, and many still fight for now! Yes the Princes of India used methods that were excessive and their use of slave labour should be condemned, but they fought for the right ideals, they fought to remove the yoke of the British Empire from us!

Now though we have our chance, one that where we can lead all the countries of South Asia into a free tomorrow, one where we can be treated with the respect the people of lands with as much history as ours deserve! Remember what Wallwork the Destroyer did to your lands, remember the mass killings the British inflicted on the people of India just years ago, remember the burning of Hyderabad, the inhuman weapons the British turned on our brothers in the city, remember the disease they spread among the people, using it as an excuse to massacre whoever they came across. Rise up and throw off the yoke and the brutality of the British Empire!

Together Peoples of South Asia, together we can have our freedom, together we can reforge our lands into a great empire which will withstand the test of time. Our Flag shall be the first to be reforged, into a symbol of the men fighting to free South Asia as we speak, the Black for the Pashtun, who fights to free his brothers scattered as far as South India and Bengal, the Green is for the Sikh, who fights to free his brothers in North India, the Orange is for the Indian, who fights to free his brothers throughout the most of the lands still repressed by the British. Together they all stand united, to free all their brothers, and those of their brothers-in-arms, from the British Tyranny. So what say you Peoples of South Asia, will you fight with your brothers and earn the freedom we deserve! Or will you continue to be weighed down by the British yoke until you are nothing more then a broken people for the British to use as they please.

The British Lion Awakes​

As the news of the loss of Delhi reverberated throughout London, along with the betrayal of the Pashtun tribes, now regarded nothing more than savages, only strengthened the British resolve to continue out this war. The Royal Marines, which had spent a good part of the last decade training for assaults upon the shores of England, were finally put to use. A massive fleet, the size of which dwarfed what was lost in the Baltic, was amassed in the channel, and soon set out for China shortly after war was declared. Prime Minister Gladstone, who was widely seen as rushing into this conflict and creating a situation worse than before, was quickly removed from office in a vote of no confidence. Queen Victoria, quick to act, brought Benjamin Disraeli, leader of the Opposition, and made him Prime Minister of a Wartime Coalition. It became clear that the United Kingdom, while having rushed into this mess, was going to see it through to the end.

The Channel Fleet came in full contact with the Russian cruiser Alexander Nevsky, which was not able to turn in time for the Royal Navy to trap it. When offered to raise the white flag, the Russians refused, and began to fight, hoping to break out. The HMS Warrior, Britain's first Ironclad, was able to score a fatal hit, sending a shell through her aft deck, into a weapons cache, causing a massive explosion that tore the ship in two. The survivors were picked up and brought back to London, as the dreaded Russian cruiser that terrorised British shipping for the past two months sank to the bottom. Her sister ship, however, still lurked in the North Sea, ready to strike once again.

The British Fleet was able to steam into the South China Sea only shortly before reports were coming in that the Chinese began to assault the cities of Hong Kong and Shanghai, which quickly were reinforced by the British fleet. The attempts to assault were quickly called off as the Army there posed a threat to the Chinese.

While it seemed these were simple reinforcements, assaults also began, spearheaded by the Marines, to begin to stage landings in the cities of Guangzhou and Zhanjiang. As assault was also placed into Formosa, where the lightly-garrisoned area fell under control of the British within a few days of fighting, and quickly established it as the base of their operations in South East Asia. No further assaults were planned until the news that Chinese officials began to burn opium and arresting British merchants, some reports even indicated that British merchants were being executed in the streets, and all their assets given to the state or to the people themselves. News of this outraged the British, who quickly mobalised more men from the reserves on Formosa, and began a new, larger invasion.

Chinese officials tearing down the British flag, and arresting merchants.​

The first landing was in Tianjin, where fighting between the Chinese and the British heated up as the Chinese attempted to mine the harbour using weapons imported from Russia. Their in ability to properly set them, however, caused many of them to explode without doing any damage to the enemy, and even killing some Chinese sailors. The British Marines were able to easy secure a beachhead against the attacks of the Chinese Army, while the wharfs were quickly taken, allowing the British Army proper to begin to offload into the city. In a span of a week, of heavy fighting, the British were able to capture Tianjin, and began movements towards Peking, hoping to reach the capital quickly. With a large majority of the Chinese Army in the South or in the West, they were unable to put together much more than a few scraps of soldiers to defend Peking. The British General Braiden Codrington deemed that they would assault the city next year, to give them time to organise and quickly strike the Chinese.

The real progress, however, was made in talks between some of the "Boxer" rebels who fought against foreign intervention and involvement in China. Talks between General Bunting of the Hong Kong Garrison and Chim Yuanjun, the leader of the local Boxer forces, in which the United Kingdom agreed to discuss the future of involvement in China, so long as the Boxers take up a campaign against the Qing Dynasty. Angry over the British intervention and the deal with the Russians, the Boxers were able to get some of the Qing's Army to defect, and recruitment began in earnest. Fuzhou and Nanning quickly fell to the Boxers, whom the Chinese felt that they could trust and let into their camps. The shocking revelation lead the Qing Armies reeling northwards, as unrest and dislike for the Qing's sudden crusade against opium, which many thought were at the wishes of the Europeans.
[-145,102 Regulars to China.]

With the Chinese distracted in Peking and with the rapidly growing Boxer armies, the British were able to stage one of the most important assaults in the history of the United Kingdom. With full knowledge of the trade routes through Manchuria, the British Marines, since moved around and left other soldiers for garrison duties, began a massive assault against Manchuria itself. In the small city of Vladivostok, the Royal Navy steamed through the entrance of Golden Horn Bay, and a few salvos into the weak defenses of the port city, followed by an assault, which the Russians put up a very good fight, inflicting heavy casualties on the British, finally conceded, allowing them to take control of it.
[-624 Regulars to the United Kingdom. -384 Regulars to Russia.]

Fighting at the Battle of Vladivostok.​

News of Vladivostok's fall quickly brought the local Cossack hosts into action. Riding into Manchuria, their first commands were to try and push the British off of Vladivostok, until their next orders were to stop the British invasion of Port Arthur. The Battle of Mukden, between a large contingent of the British, and the Cossack forces and their small number of Chinese allies. While outnumbered, the Russians felt that would be able to easily achieve victory over the British. The Cossacks, who began a charge against artillery batteries stationed in hills, were soon slaughtered by the heavy gunfire. A surprise flanking maneuver was undertaken, slamming into the Cossack's left, and after a mistranslation by the Cossack commander, who had heard wrongly from the Chinese, which were supposed to have said "Retreat", instead was translated as "Don't Retreat". Holding his ground, he was shocked to see his entire force surrounded by the British. He was forced to surrender his entire army to the British, leaving them with nearly no opposition in Manchuria, which they soon showed signs they would begin to exert control over the area. With only four days left until the new year, the British were able to claim, whilst a massive setback in India, they had made massive gains in China.
[-46,762 Regulars to Russia. -12,540 Regulars to the United Kingdom. -34,350 Colonial Troops to the United Kingdom. (UK's numbers come from this battle and the rest of the battles done in China not already noted.)]

Events of the World: 1874​

Europe

In a massive bid to help the economy, as well as help the people of the country, Prime Minister Disraeli quickly ushers through a series of bills, many of which go against his very nature, but nevertheless, a massive project, consisting of road construction, canal digging, railroad laying, sewers in nearly every city, along with a renovation of buildings and other structures. The entire project was thought to take around five years, but many people could tell that, when it ended, the United Kingdom was going to be able to claim to be the envy of the world, with a more urbanised and connected population than any other nation.

With the approval of infrastructure bills, educational bills were also passed, sending massive amounts of money out to build schools in every village, town, and city across the British Isles. Government-backed Universities also opened across England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, as most major cities founded a University after their own name, and help satellite campuses in some of the outlying towns. While there was a massive shortage of students, it was sure to pay off in the future.

With such a massive amount of spending, the British Economy was able to buoy itself, and while people were still losing their jobs, the Government needed to continue to spend money during this recession if it wished to continue their growth, a stark difference from the remainder of Europe which slumped into a deep recession. One notable example against this was the German Empire which, after negotiating a deal between them and the Swiss, was able to gain complete control over the Rhine River once again.

In Madrid, the Spanish Government approves a new measure to help fund a new expansion of the Spanish Army, which was designed to help streamline and improve the chain of command. The measures were executed, but it would take time before they would know if it was effective or not.

Rallying against the supposed illiterate population in Spain, the previous year’s program was extended, and expanded, into more rural areas. Special care was given in Catalan and Basque areas, with local teachers being hired to teach the local languages. Spanish and French were offered as second languages in these areas, and many opted to simply take French.

The Portuguese Army begins a series of reforms that end in disaster, as one of the Generals, who had many disagreements with the other members of the Army, began a wide campaign to “Purge” the army of anyone he did not think was worthy enough to serve under him. After gutting the Army’s leadership, he was quickly sacked, leaving few, if any, competent Generals in Portugal.

Even while the Military was being purged, Portugal forged ahead with new sewer systems in Lisbon, along with better telegraph connections to the northern parts of the country. There were even talks of a telegraph wire being strung to Madrid, to create a direct link between the two Iberian nations.

In an attempt to ward off the coming economic downturn, the Netherlands begins a large expansion of their industrial sector and a large amount of ships for the Navy. While the results were not felt all that much, the economy was able to be floated for the year, and a few more ships would be ready to be commissioned within the next year.

Factories in the Netherlands, built to help the unemployed.​

Along the shore of Germany, the port towns of Stettin, Konigsburg, Kiel, Hamburg, and Wilhelmshaven are expanded, and new shipyards, along with steamer factories, are erected, ready to begin production in a year’s time. While the costs do spike up, they are completed by the end of the year.

Attempts to incorporate the DeViller gun into the German Army do not go well, as tensions with France do not show kindly in the German leadership. Instead a new machine gun, similar to that of the DeViller and the Gatling guns, is created for Germany. It is quickly distributed to the ranks of the Army, and special corps of machine gunners are formed, ready to fight any enemy they faced.

The Ministry of Education is given a small injection of funds, and the German Education System is overhauled. A secular curriculum is drafted for state schools, that focused on academic achievement, scientific literacy, and meritocracy. Also included were gymnasiums, which held such things as swimming, running, and shooting, greatly helping the Germans should they decide to conscript them into the Army.

The Milan-Napoli Railroad has the first spike driven into the ground, with the goal being for both sides to meet in Rome to symbolise the linking of the North and South. Hard work and labour helped to lay down, and finish, the railroad, complete with telegraph wires, as the last spike was driven in the middle of the new Rome Railroad Station. The first few trains left, helping to deliver cargo and passengers around the country.

The Italian Merchant Marine is significantly expanded in 1874, with a massive amount of money being placed into shipyards and docks across the country. While no emphasis was put on warships, a wide variety of support ships, tugs, small inland craft, ect, were churned out by the shipyards, offering a very good protection for the Italians and their fleet. Trade revenues quickly rose as more ships traveled around the world.

In Southern Italy, mostly in Napoli, factories are opened to help can food goods for the army and more remote areas of the country that would purchase them. Some of the factories are established in Sicily, which quickly begins to import foods from the mainland in order to help along the budding industry. This does help to alleviate the recession the country was beginning to feel.

There were attempts by the Commonwealth’s government to encourage people to invest into the economy and to increase industrial subsidies to help the Danubian industries through the coming recession, but mostly they were able to ensure the economy stayed somewhat stable, but the outlook was still grim for the future, as across Europe economic growth seemed to be slowing dramatically.

The Danubian Naval Modernisation and Expansion Act of 1874 sails through the Federal Parliament as hundreds of thousands of pounds are given to shipyards to begin the construction of a modern navy that can be used to assert her rightful powers in the world. While no match for her neighbours, the Danubian Navy was not expected to be a simple pushover.

As the rest of Europe went into a recession, Denmark followed suit, and attempts to reform things along a more non-government interference only plan. This turns out to be a disaster as some public works projects are canceled, raising unemployment.

The Danish Government, is however able to make up for it, by pledging that they would do whatever they could to try and alleviate the problem. People began to look up towards the government once again.

The Swedish Navy begins a small period of expansion, building many new steam-powered engines and drive shafts. They are quickly inserted into some older ships, and some new ones are built. Many are based off the French designs, improving their own Naval capabilities.

With the massive expansion of the Russian Army, there was no extra rifle to send any of her allies, as she herself had problems arming the entire Russian Army, which nearly tripled in size. Production capabilities were ramped up, to try and close the gap, but production slowed after some Polish factories begin to close, leaving the Russians to have to rely on the factories in Riga, St. Petersburg, and Moscow.

Balkans/Near East

The Romanian Government announces that the previous education minister was fired and replaced with a new man. Highly educated, but not an efficient reformer, it would take him many years in order to completely fix the damage done the previous year, but it would be fixed.

The Romanian Ministry of Agriculture was abolished and reformed, this time with right regulations on aid distribution, in order to ensure that the proper aid was given and nothing was wasted. The program runs much more efficiently, and better farming equipment is spread to the farmers.

In a surprise move, the Romanian Army mobilises, and quickly begins to crush the Bulgarian offensive, as well as invading Ottoman Silistra, causing anger and resentment from the Ottoman Empire, which pledged a “Massive retaliation” for such moves. The lack of action by the Ottoman Government, however, brought a halt to many of the citizens support for the government. Should the Ottomans not act against the Romanians, it seemed that there would be a large-scale revolt against their rule, as the country itself seemed to be unable to defend itself or her territory.

Greece begins to excavate at the site where pottery was found previously, but due to the fact that the scientists were actually hired based on family name and not competence, they were excavating being drunk most of the time, the few findings they managed to make were broken, and later one scientist died after attempting to operate a drill while heavily inebriated. This was quite embarrassing for the Greek government, who quickly sought to cover it up, instead stating to the public budget cuts had caused delays. They soon found out the true reason, however, and cries against nepotism soon overshadowed the excavations.

Hoping to make it known it was making improvements, Greek Parliament then authorized the construction of a new rail line running from Athens to Lamia along the coast, with stops in each port. This proved to be a boon for goods transportation, people transportation, and general economic growth, which the whole nation soon felt the benefits of.

The Ottoman Empire begins to modernize its infrastructure, hoping to stave off the effects of recession. While the work gets done in Istanbul, local regulations and stipulations and other difficulties halt progress outside the capital. The Sultan, looking to get the local governing councils to agree, offers to grant them aid for their own infrastructures, but it seems that the offer falls on deaf ears.

The stagnation of the infrastructure modernization program also lead to an apathetic public, who began to look upon the government as useless and ineffective. The Sultan was supposed to tour the nation on its new modern infrastructure, but since it only existed in Istanbul, it was there he stayed.

Fortunately, the Ottoman naval reforms that happened later in the year were much more successful. The British, who had previously helped the Ottoman Navy, allowed for a final set of advisors to spend the year in Istanbul. This assistance was mainly for the High Admiralty of the Ottomans, and by the time the British left in December, the improvement was notable.

Egypt sends naval officers to the British, French, and German docks to attempt to learn a thing or two from the Europeans, but due to their poor navigational skills, they end up lost, landing in Haiti. They end up spending the year there, before heading back, and teaching their new navigational techniques to the Egyptian Naval Officer Corps.

North America

Before the port of Vladivostok was sacked by the British, a small amount of infantry, some artillery batteries, and a few crates of extra guns were shipped as well. Landing in New Archangel, Alaska, they were welcomed as liberators. Word of this quickly reached the Canadians, which rushed over soldiers to Vancouver in order to ensure control over it. A string of hastily made forts were constructed in the former southern panhandle of Alaska. Canadian troops were thrown out, or killed, in northern Alaska, as the Russian Army began to organise there, along with the Russian people, to form a sizeable army of soldiers, trappers, miners, and fishers, ready to fight for the Russian flag.

The Naval Expansion programme in Canada was axed, with the remainder of the Ironclads being added to the British Fleet instead. The drastic cuts taken the previous year were eased, as the Homesteading programme resumed. The Royal Canadian Army, mostly focused on putting down the native Rebellion, was sent quickly into the area along with the new immigrants. They quickly pushed back the natives, which retreated to the North, and began to tear down all semblance of Canadian control, killing the few garrisons that existed, and establishing their own control over their own territory. More people do begin to immigrate to Canada, as they mostly stick to the heavily-guarded railroad.

The United States Navy, which seemed to be uncertain about their future, ordered a large-scale ship construction programme, focused on having one of the largest and most well-maintained navies. While not nearly as big as the Royal Navy, the United States Navy quickly became the most powerful in the New World.

The USS Enterprise at New York Naval Yard.​

In the Western states and territories, irrigation networks, most connected to the Mississippi River and her tributaries, is constructed, helping to motivate more people to move to these areas. Nebraska quickly is admitted as a state in the Union, and railroads help to ship the new goods back to the Eastern seaboard, where they are able to sustain more people. This helps with the wave of immigration coming from Europe and Asia, but the infrastructure in many of these cities is in dire need of repair and upgrading.

The ports of Charleston and Savannah are expanded, with more docksides being made available for many merchant ships. The Savannah River, which formerly only had development on the Georgian side, now expanded across the river. A new settlement, also called Savannah, was formed and quickly began to grow. Economically connected to Georgia, it was still a town in South Carolina. A new wharf is established a bit upriver, ready to begin to produce merchant ships, as well as warships, should the need arise.

The Southern Railroad Act is amended by the Confederate Congress, removing the regulars it had placed upon the railways, and made it clear that Federal Grants and tracts of land would be available. In Richmond, a new company, the “Jacksonville-Pacific Railroad” is quickly formed, and begins the process of building new rail lines across Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Several buyouts occur, as the Jacksonville-Pacific RR quickly becomes one of the major rail carriers in the southern Confederate States, as it standardised their own gauges, worked on repairing train stations, and even formed their own locomotive factories. It was considered, at the time, to be the largest company in the Confederate States, surpassing a total revenue of nearly eighty million Confederate dollars, or nearly twenty million pounds.

The Prussians who had been taken prisoner during the War Between the States had, at one time, been military advisers. The Confederate Government, looking to bring about reforms similar to those of Prussia, quickly hired them and awarded them high positions within the Confederate Army. One man who spoke against such militarisation was the former General Robert E. Lee, saying that such actions would only lead to more death. Shortly after the article was published, Robert E. Lee, whom many considered to be a greater General than Napoleon himself, passed away at the age of 65.

The Colonial Government of Arizona passes several laws, similar to the ones passed in Brazil, in which all children of Slaves will be free inside the territory. While it was expected to cause an uproar, the act was praised by many of the more Liberal Confederate leaders. Among them was former General James Longstreet, who retired after the war and joined the liberal Whig Party. Many thought he was for gradual emancipation, and was disliked for such reasons, but after much encouragement by friends and family, he decides to throw his name in the running for President. The Democrats nominate Louis T. Wigfall, a senator from Texas. The election is smooth, and with the support of Virginia, James Longstreet is elected President of the Confederate States, who soon promises limited reforms, and a stronger Central Government. It would seem at this time, that the Confederate people agreed with such reforms. His election was praised by former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, saying that, “Even the Confederate People know the course of History much flow towards Freedom. I wish the next President well in his next term.”

There were rumours, but some were not sure how true, that former President Abraham Lincoln and incoming President James Longstreet meet in Richmond, Virginia. The move was unprecedented, and any newspapers decried the move. The idea was further bolstered when Lincoln was named the United States Minister to the Confederate States, showing the strong bond Lincoln and Longstreet seemed to be forging.

Mexican officials began to promote the country as a place to settle, as everywhere else seemed as though it was going through very deep troubles. From Europe to the Far East, wars, recessions, and general unpleasantries were cited as reason to move to Mexico. While some would call the move ill-sighted due to the fact that infrastructure would soon begin to be a problem, but such thoughts were ignored, and massive amounts of Chinese, Indians, and other very poor people began to move to Mexico, shooting their own immigration rates up, at the expense of other nations in the Americas.

Mexican engineers and workers are sent to Nicaragua to being work on the canal. The event turned out to be a logistical nightmare, as they had been sent to the Atlantic side, when infact they were tasked with construction of the Pacific side of locks. By the time they had gotten there, a lot of time had been wasted, but ground was broken, and Mexico soon began to solidify its place as the most favoured nation by the Central American nations.

Work on the Nicaragua Canal continues, as the deforestation continues. The actual canal itself begins to take a rough form, as the entrance is dammed up and dirt is extracted from the ground. Laboured in the American Caribbean soon flock to this construction site in order to begin to help the dig. Engineers from the midwest also begin to trickle in, helping to establish some innovative ideas in how to get the dirt out faster and more efficiently.

South America

In the North Andean Confederation, ‘Federalists’ as they were called began a massive campaign promoting not just the Confederation, but the centralization of it into a Federation. As more and more Venezuelan and Colombian intellectuals wrote essays and held public rallies on the matter, it seemed to gain much more support. This did not sit well with the conservatives that dominated Ecuador. While the legislatures of Columbia and Venezuela ratified a resolution put forward allowing Confederate Parliament more power, Ecuador refused.

Meanwhile, Confederate Parliament began a public works program, pouring money into infrastructure, housing, and educational facilities. Unfortunately, the decentralization of the Confederation made the program extremely inefficient, and little got done. While many in Colombia and Venezuela pointed to this failure as a reason to further centralize, reactionaries in Ecuador began calling for it to leave the Confederation as it was overextending its boundaries. This led to a large demonstration in Quito against the NAC, which turned violent when one protester pushed into the line of Confederate troops, who promptly fired to disperse the crowd. What started as proposition of a small coalition of hardline reactionaries now had gained support of the entirety of the right wing of Ecuador. As serious talks of secession began in Ecuador, debate over whether the NAC had the right to keep Ecuador from seceding by force began in dark rooms in Colombia and Venezuela. Many feared that the coming year would see violence and turmoil engulf what used to be the rising economic power in South America.

In Brazil, the Franco-Brazilian Treaty of Trade and Cooperation is signed. The stated goal was to establish better relations between the two countries, and to help the economic state of Brazil, which seemed ready to slump into a recession. Tariff barriers were lowered, and money was invested into Brazil. The amount invested was massive, totaling nearly one fifth of Brazil's economy. Railroads snaked across the coasts, linking several cities together, boosting economic activity. While this investment was massive, it did leave some chunk of the economy owned by France, giving them a large amount of trade in the country. Brazil, slipping into a recession, was able to stabilise at her current rate, but just barely.

Brazil also begins a massive new focus in education, passing a bill to require access to public education in all major urban centers. The program goes swimmingly, with the schools built in a rapid fashion, due to their easy-to-reach location, and soon the urban populations of Brazil become more literate. The effects, however, failed to reach the populations of smaller urban centers as well as the rural poor.

With all the focus on education, the Brazilian Government forgot to place the funds it promised for port expansion, leading to numerous dockworkers being left unpaid. With Brazilian workers already in dire situations due to the failing economy, this pushed them over the edge. A riot broke out in the Rio de Janeiro Shipyards, as workers, angry that the were unpaid and their families starving, destroyed what they had been working on before looting the port itself. As the anger spread to the streets, police were quickly called in to quell the angry workers, but not before significant damage had been done.

With the Shipyard Riots fresh in their minds, many people took to the streets supporting the Conservative Party and José Paranhos, who blamed Mercosur for Brazil’s economic problems and promoted a purely pragmatic approach to restoring the Brazilian economy. His platform was simple and clear, and Emperor Pedro II soon appointed him to President of the Council. Paranhos, who possessed the confidence of the Emperor, Parliament, and the worker, was now in a position to make major changes to brace Brazil for the dark economic times that were descending on South America.

Argentina began to rapidly expand the harbor of Buenos Aires, hiring European architects and engineers to assist in maximizing the efficiency and speed of the construction, as well as making sure it was of sound design. While their services were costly, they did deliver what they were paid for: a three-year plan to make Buenos Aires double in harbor capacity.

There was also a curious episode where a small group of Argentine politicians got together, claiming to host a constitutional convention, but the military junta refused to recognize the convention, claiming that Argentina was not yet stable, and arrested the convention’s attendees.

Paraguay holds its elections, with a broad coalition of moderate liberals, centrists, and moderate conservatives winning a majority. Juan Bautista Gill was appointed Prime Minister of Paraguay, with King Maximilian congratulating him and wishing the best of luck in his term as guiding the nation of Paraguay. In his first speech as Prime Minister to Parliament, Gill talked of the need of a pragmatic approach to progress, which sat well with his support base. The peaceful transition of power marked an important step toward stability in Paraguay.

Archduke Wilhelm Franz later immigrated to Paraguay, appointed as Maximilian’s Heir-Apparent. Franz began to learn Spanish, and soon learned that it would not be easy for him. Many in Paraguay trusted Maximilian’s choice, though were unsure of this new Heir-Apparent. Hoping to ease some of their concerns, Franz adopted the name of Guillermo Francisco Carlos de Habsburg, and hoped to have learned enough Spanish by the coming year to begin touring the nation.

Chile began churning out more currency, with the intent of paying off its domestic debts with the money, as well as resuming foreign debt payments. The result was hyperinflation, which, following a series of corrupt ministers running the mints, led to a second financial collapse in Chile, further worsening its economic situation.

Following the Chilean financial collapse, another surge of economic problems spread throughout South America, as it began to experience more inflation as well as a lapse in capital, which would have been worthless anyway. Private banking soon became a joke, and throughout South America calls for the nationalization of banks, and demands for government relief from rising prices, began to dominate the continent.

Africa

Work on the Canal in Tunisia continues, as the workers reach the salt flats, flooding them with sea water for the first time, creating a full link between them and the ocean. While water is flooding into the area, work on stage 2 to connect the now flooded salt flats to the remainder of the low-laying areas begins, with plans and maps quickly being drawn up.

The Tripoli-Benghazi Railway is completed in November, causing many of these two cities to be filled with Italian settlers, who were able to use the railroads to travel between these places, and establish a good connection with the mainland. Economic expansion also rose, helping the local economy.

Sokoto begins to promote literacy, with the Caliph personally calling upon his people to learn to read. The campaign centers around having Imams teach their flock to read the Quran, and then having these adults teach their children. The campaign is incredibly effective, as well as low-cost.

The Caliph also sends the majority of his army to crush the Bornu rebels, which they do in a swift and brutal manner. Most rebels are killed, and those who surrender are exiled or executed. While this was very brutal and potentially damaging to the region, there would certainly be no rebellions in the near future.

In the colonies of Kamerun and Somaliland, the Danubian Colonial offices begin to stockpile resources, hire and import men, manufacture weaponry, and secure the capital, and medicines, needed to begin to venture into the vast African interior. Major progress was made, and magistrates hired, ready to begin expansion and push the borders of their small settlements further into the continent.

Henry Morton Stanley, hired by the Danubian Government, posing in Wien before his departure to Africa.​

Liberian-American talks breakdown after several insults are hurled at them by the American ambassador, while some deal was supposed to have been reached, none such deal materialised.

In Spanish Guinea, a series of forts are erected, pushing natives out of the area, along with some forests cleared for roads. Spanish settlers, though few in number, began to arrive to displace the local population. The increased settlement boundaries, along with an efficient road system for supplies and medicine, along with a heavy-handed Colonial Militia, showed that Spain’s expansion into Africa was going smoothly.

In Angola, labour intensive cash crops plantations are established for the sole purpose of turning a quick profit. This meant that, above all, the lives of many of the Angolans did not matter to the Portuguese. After a large string of deaths, and a small revolt, the intensive farming was stopped, but nevertheless continued under less harsh circumstances.

Swedish explorers attempt to establish some trading relations with some African tribes, but many are thrown out by other European traders or the natives themselves.

An expedition to help map the Congo River was sent out from Angola, looking to map the area as much as possible for future exploration and colonisation. Of the five teams sent out, only four returned. No word was heard from the last one, but many thought their boat might have sank, and died of disease deep in the African continent.

Transvaal grants the Zulu free trade rights, which promotes Boer-Zulu relations, as well as trade. The reforms go over well for all, as everyone enjoys being more wealthy, and the Zulu enjoy their newfound rights.

South African explorers also go out to map and see what they can find. Their trip yields success, as new maps are drawn, some precious wealth and gifts are gotten, and new stories are told. The maps are purchased by Governor-General of British South Africa, who begins to take a new interest in the Boer Republics and the surrounding area.

The Italian East Africa colony begins a massive push to the West, importing large amounts of supplies and medicine to begin to control the area. Several revolts by the natives are put down, and more colonial soldiers are quickly hired and brought into service, to help secure the area. They establish camps and forts on the shore of Lake Malawi, proclaiming from the Sea to the Lake to be Italian land. In the North, the expansion is stopped after running too far ahead of the workers who brought supplies, and would commence at the start of next year.

Asia

In Central Asia, Russia begins to solidify their control over the area, bringing the Turkmen areas and the remainder of the Caspian coast under their control. Attempts to form steamboat traffic on the sea does not materialise, as no one is able to secure a steamboat to be shipped to the area. The Trans-Caspian Railroad, however, is finished, allowing quick shipping of goods and men from Russia proper into Central Asia.

Defenses along the Persian border with Russia and the Barakzai Empire are strengthened, not wishing to be drawn into direct combat with them, and also to ensure the territorial integrity of Persia.

The Persian Army, however, had no problem in helping to harass and destroy Russian convoys. Many of these forces had been using the northeastern corner of Persia to transport goods into the Barakzai Empire. One audacious raid was able to several the railway connection that went into the Barakzai Empire, and also was able to tear up parts of the railway from the Caspian Sea to Herat, hampering the Russians ability to reinforce and resupply.

The Barakzai Empire begins a massive round of propaganda, in order to try and gain more soldiers for a free India. This, along with a move to attempt to raise more men into the army, does not go as planned, as logistical difficulties, along with the inability to control such a large amount of land effectively, prevent anything meaningful from being done in the year, as most of the government officials attempted to rally Indians to their cause, as they sat by their burnt and pillaged fields.

In India, Prime Minister Disraeli begins the reforms he had laid out earlier, redrawing them around ethnic-geographic boundaries, which was hoped to raise the moral of the Indians themselves. All of these lands were integrated into the British Raj, and the Crown Colony of Bangladesh, separate from India itself, was spun off to allow the Moslems living on the Subcontinent their own say in their small colony. Immigration and Emigration between India and Bangladesh was large as they began to settle along religious boundaries. The clashes and tensions between both of these people was immense, ruining any chances at the British looking better because of this. A lot of deaths resulted in this movement, and emigration from India shot up.

The port of Xiamen, controlled by the Swedish, is fortified using a large amount of earthen fortifications and guns imported from Germany. Many experts believe that it is fortified enough to withstand an attack from the Chinese or rebel forces.

The Treaty of Franco-Japanese Cooperation is signed between the two nations, in which the French began to train the Japanese Army, while the French built a new shipyard in Hiroshima. The costs were paid by both nations equally, and it was a great help for the Japanese Army, which they would surely put to good use.

The Japanese Navy orders more transportation ships to be laid down, in order to transport more men and supplies to a very close peninsula that the Japanese were looking at hungrily.

Under suspicious circumstances, a Japanese Frigate sailed along the Korean coast, causing panic by many in Seoul, who quickly sent a dispatch off to the Germans, pleading for assistance. Before the warship could open up on some of the ports, the Koreans fired upon it, sinking it to the bottom of the harbour. In Japan, they rallied against this attack upon the Japanese, citing it was a ship about to bring diplomatic messages to the Koreans. He stated that such an act could never go without a swift response. The Japanese Army was immediately expanded to counter against Korean Belligerence.

The first actions of the war took place near Incheon, where the Imperial Japanese Navy began to shell the Korean forts, defenseless against the French-supplied cannons. While Seoul was supplied with German-material, Incheon had no defenses at all. The Korean Army quickly stood to try and stop the landing, but it was to no avail. The first two months since the incident was eventful, as the battle of Incheon continued. German weapons, as well as a garrison from Jeju, appeared in the Korean lines, fighting against the Japanese. General Cearbhall Couvillion of the French Army was killed by a regiment of Germans, and his allegiance was quickly discovered. He was nothing more than an attache of the Japanese Army, and General Wilfrid Kues of the Imperial German Army, commander of the Jeju Garrison, ordered that his body be thrown into the river, saying that, “The only good Frenchmen is a dead Frenchmen.” News of the involvement of German forces caused the French to be on high alert, and the French Army in Cochinchina was put on alert, ready to be deployed if need be.

The Japanese quickly attempted to set up a blockade of Korea, and for the first five months it was a success. That was, however, until the German Imperial Navy showed up, quickly engaging in the Battle of the East China Sea. The German reinforcements arrived in Jeju, while the Navy was forced to try and break the Japanese blockade. The German ironclad made quick work of many of the Japanese frigates, but the Japanese were also able to score some hits on the Germans. At the end of the day, the Japanese Navy was destroyed, and the remainder of the ships were forced to sit in port, cutting off the Japanese Army of all supplies and support.

A few ships, however, were able to disembark in Wonsan, taking the city, and quickly marched to Pyongyang, killing all of the German workers and Korean workers, and taking control of the factory, “employing” local Koreans to manufacture arms for them, to keep their campaign going. News of Pyongyang’s fall was followed up by the fall of Incheon, as the entire Korean Army decided to move into Seoul to defend the city to their last man, hoping that the Germans could send their reinforcements as quickly as possible. As the Japanese brought order to Incheon, the Germans landed in Korea, and quickly marched to Seoul, ready to defend against any further Japanese attacks.

The French Navy, and small garrison from Cochinchina, quickly establishes outposts and a few forts on the Solomon Islands. After a small resistance by the natives, they are quickly put down and considered a full French possession.

In German Jeju, the port facilities are expanded and new, large, guns are placed on a string of forts designed to help it be easily defended.

Islands off the coast of New Guinea fall under the control of the Commonwealth of the Danube, quickly striking it out as a minor Colonial power. A few small ports are established, and some Romanians settlers quickly take control of the area, naming the new port city Cluj-Napoca, after the town with the same name in Transylvania.

In the Dutch East Indies, the colonial government begins to help subsidise and improve many of the companies that are focused on trading with the native states. Such a success is this small injection of funds, that Dutch protection is established in many native states in the East Indies, helping to bolster the Dutch economy.

In the Kingdom of Hawai’i, King Kamehameha V’s successor, King Lunalilo, a liberal reformer, proclaimed on January 17th, that his reign will be the last in Hawai’i, as he wished to transform the country into a Republic. He died suddenly on the 3rd of February, causing many of his supporters to protest the proposed inauguration of King Kalākaua. In a quick revolt, that was supported by the people, the Republic of Hawai’i was proclaimed, which quickly asked the United States of America for protection. Negotiations seemed to take up most of the year, and an announcement was scheduled for the 1st of January, 1875 regarding the status of the Republic.

People of Hawaii,

we heard your pledge and as the paragon of freedom and democracy we accept your allegiance and vow to bring you the freedoms and rights you covet. You have decided democratically and souvereign andf thus no one should move against that decision. We will send a delegation immediately to help integration and protect you.

May God bless you and the United States of America

[Ab Ovo]

Issued by the Royal Communications Bureau of Canada:

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save The Queen!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen!​

In order to continue to be able to effectively persecute the ongoing war the Russian Republic will begin a total mobilization of all of the country's armed forces.

Due to a serious deterioration of Russia's state finances as a result of the ongoing war the Russian Republic has chosen to exercise its right under the "CONVENTION regarding commercial and financial interests" to suspend all interest payments of government debt held by the government of France or by French individuals until such time as state finances allow.

THE UNITED KINGDOM
of Great Britain and Ireland​

The United Kingdom has been through much in the past year, but it seems peace may soon happen with Russia and China. Anglo-Russian negotiations seem to be bearing fruit, and we hope that soon a formal peace treaty may be written. However, there will be no peace for the Barakzai Empire. There is no peace for traitors. There is only death.

Prime Minister Disraeli also demands answers from the American Government why, after the United Kingdom as of late has been attempting to foster warmer relations, including solving issues over the rights of canal-building, the United States has responded by first attempting to seize the Caribbean holdings of Her Majesty, then further by annexing Hawaii, a British protectorate, after a radical, illegitimate regime overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy, and once again, without consulting Her Majesty, despite it being a protectorate of the United Kingdom. If the United States was truly interested in peaceful Anglo-American relations, it would cease its belligerent, unilateral policy of aggressiveness against Her Majesty's territories and protectorates and instead come to the negotiating table before it simply acts as a rogue state.

The United Kingdom formally requests the United States withdraw its annexation of Hawaii, and invites an American delegation to London to stave off future Anglo-American Crises.

~Official Message from Her Majesty's Government

The Andean Confederation

We always knew that the journey on the creation of a union between our nations would be long and perilous. We have overcome many great difficulties and threats, yet many remain. Chile has collapsed economically, Bolivia remains ruled by a tyrant and the fields of india are soaked with blood. This world we live in, a world filled with so much war, destitution and sorrow, is a hostile place. Only by standing together, united as one in the face of these forces have we managed to ward them off. Yet internal threats, such as division and greed threaten to tear our Confederation apart from the inside. And should our confederation fall, so shall we too fall to our knees, to be shackled by the forces of a hostile world.

To quote the Ancient Greek Aesop, "United we stand, Divided we fall." Though an old saying, it's meaning has never been more true. Together, we have forged a Trans-Continental Railroad, survived an economic plague which grips the rest of our continent and kept our sons in the fields of farms and off the field of battle. Together we have done this, as one people, as one nation, under one flag.

Any problems we encounter should be used as guidelines, not as excuses to surrender and give up. The greatest weakness of humans is giving up. Only if we persevere and try again one more time will we succeed.

So let us remain steadfast. Let us remain strong in our perseverance. Let us stand, not as Conservatives, not as Liberals, but together, united as one, as Andeans.

Leaflets have been distributed to you containing the words of a song called Land of Hope and Glory. This patriotic song embodies what our confederation stands for and encapsulates what it is. II do hope you will join with me and sing this, the new National Anthem of the Confederation.

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

God Save the Confederation! God Save the Andes!

[jacob-Lundgren]

There are a lot of important events that have taken place in the world this past year. The death of the French General Cearbhall Couvillion, the continuing war between Russia and the British, tensions in Europe, more crisis in the Balkans and of course the current situation regarding Africa. None of this will prevent the current planned reforms and vote to take place in France this year.

The loss of Prime Minister Émile Ollivier also hit hard and his memory will be honored and his work will be continued to help carry forward an Empire of the French. The reforms will help foster a stronger parliament that can help to encourage more French to take involvement in the government and allowing the throne to continue its focus on foreign affairs and the military. It is those brave men that allow the throne and the Marshalls to keep all of us safe and protect our interests overseas.

The Korean crisis incident needs to be resolved both the war and the recovery of the body and a peaceful and honorable internment in French soil. He was a brave and loyal French officer and his death is a tragedy, though an accidental one. However what took place after his death was clearly not an accident and the French and German governments have been in talks about resolving that problem. His family and the officer corps can rest assured he will be given a proper burial regardless of the financial expense to bring him home.

It is my firm hope that the rumor of a framework for peace is true regarding the current global war raging. The interest repayment should logically proceed alongside a peace treaty. It would be a sad turn if we could not trust the Russians to pay back loans as they have that authority in good faith that it will be used sparingly and carefully. We await their payments continuing shortly at the time of peace as we feel both nations enjoyed the improved friendship following the latest treaty.

The colonial problem in Africa however does not appear to be improving. The conference will hopefully still take place and the lands added this past year will not help the case of those that violated the intended temporary stoppage prove they are responsible and trustworthy. Although all with a case to be made should be allowed to present where their interests are and why they should be allowed to freely access them, there will be a clear order based upon power and ability to project it. It would be wholly folly on the part of the great leaders if we did not make sure only land is colonized by those able to properly develop it and safeguard it.

The latest Balkans crisis however has taken on a very strange life of its own. The Ottoman Empire and Romania should immediately arrange a cease fire and talks should best end with only Romanians going to Romania and it would be strange and bad for any other land transfers to occur.

[X] Napoleon IV ~ Emperor of the French

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

Rumors begin to circle around Europe that French armed forces are mustering and naval forces are assembling together for quicker deployment of soldiers overseas. While a few mad men hint at invasions of Ireland or an expedition to reclaim Haiti or even a move to claim new lands in China, the most credible rumor seems to be that a lot of African maps are being bought out and the energy seems concentrated along the Mediterranean coastline.

 

[Noco19]

The Kingdom of Romania welcomes peace talks with the Ottoman Empire, so long that we experience the correct diplomatic treatments that befit an equal. Similarly, we ask the Bulgarian citizens of the Ottoman Empire to rethink their attacks on our homeland, and remain calm while this incident is resolved. We wish only the best solution, and bear no ill will on our fellows in the Balkan region.

after talks we will integrate Hawaii but leave the naval base of Pearl Harbor to the British Empire for free until future negotiations may or may not resolve that status. To further withhold any imagined threat the United States will not maintain a naval base herself on the Hawaiian Islands. But to secure American trade and interests in the Pacific Easter Island, Caroline and Marshall Islands will be added to the Pacific Territory alongside Hawaii and the United States will place naval bases on both Easter Island and the Marian Islands to safeguard these areas. These areas are key interests of the US and we hereby claim these areas as our sphere of interest in the Pacific and will not acknowledge or tolerate any counterclaims regarding these islands.

May God bless you and the United States of America

Horatio Seymour, 18th President of the United States of America

The Republic of Chile
La República de Chile​

My countrymen, do not despair! This financial collapse is a result of bad advice from my incompetent economic advisor. He has been promptly fired and replaced by a more competent man. My government shall now seek to bring this hyperinflation down and restore stability to the Chilean economy. Our out of control printing shall be brought under control, and the Chilean peso shall be replaced with a new currency. These measures, once in place, shall ensure that inflation will be brought under control. But we need more to than this to fix our economy. What we need is investment into our industry and infrastructure. This shall serve to grow our economy and aid in bringing us out of this economic crisis. Thus, I request any interested nations to consider investing into Chile, as it will not only help us, but will help the rest of South America as well. Do not fret, my countrymen, Chile shall soon return to more prosperous days!

As a result of relatively easy and painless negotiations with the United States of America we have come to an agreement to end the current conflict between us.

2. The Sokoto Caliphate will pay the United States of America 10M over the next 5 years for the deaths of the American Engineers killed as an overreaction to the actions of Private American citizens.
