The Global War (Map Game)

The year is 1912. Italy, Germany, and Austro-Hungary have formed a Triple Alliance, and Britain, France, and Russia have formed a Triple Entente. Meanwhile an arms race is occuring, especially a naval one between Germany and Britain. The United States is embracing Progressivism. Imperialism has created some rivals, including Austria-Hungary and its conquered subjects and most recently Italy and the "Sick Child of Europe", the Ottoman Empire. The stage is set for a global war.

1912.0
Italy is at war with the Ottoman Empire over Libya.

Sun Yat-Sen is elected as the provisional leader of the Republic of China.

The Agadir Crisis has caused a rift between Germany and the British-French Alliance.

Don't forget about the Triple Alliance (Italy, Germany, Austria-Hungary) and the Triple Entente (Britain, France, Russia)

Welcome! France: We begin by fully ensuring that Morocco is well controlled, not necessarilly because of possible uprisings but instead because of possible foreign involvement. We make a major naval base in Safi, and station two destroyers and a battleship there. Armand Fallieres is President. With tensions rising between the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente, we support the Ottoman Empire in their war with Italy. We look to establish close ties with Russia, and increase trade between us. Anti-German policy continues and we compete in the naval arms race. (Military/Infrastructure).
 * What about the First Balkan War? It was taking place in this year. Or should we ignore it?
 * Second half of 1912.
