US Civil War (Map Game)

This is a map game and the point of divergence is a Confederate victory at Gettysburg. The game will begin on March 28, 2011. If there are not enough players, it will be moved up to April 12th, the anniversary of the firing on Fort Sumter. The South is supposed to win its war of independance, but after that it its all fair game. ANY PERSON ERASING ANOTHER PERSONS WORK WILL BE BANNED FROM THIS GAME!!! The turns are in half years and you can go once per turn.

You must stay with the facts but a little myth mixed in is alright as well

The rules will be the exact same as the Axis vs Allies.

All diplomatic agreements will take place on the US Civil War Map Game Diplomacy Page.

Moderators
There will be 5 moderators, and they must have been in other map games.

THE GAME

1863.6
Confederacy: Confederate troops at Gettysburg defeat the Union Army of the Potomac after Pickets Charge succeeds and CS calvary surround the Union forces, wanting recognition by a European power, the ANV marches torwrds Philidelphia due to the corps defending Washington DC.

Spain: Spanish authorities begin enlisting more men into the Navy and Army, in order to help bolster there forces at both home and at there colonies such as the Phillipines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. In scientific terms, Spanish mechanics and scientist alike begin testing new steam devices and armor for ships in which they end up in creating an armored frigate powered by a steam engine, although production is slow due to lack of parts.

Siam fortifies its territories, (which are still huge at this point.). They offer the British assistance in trade in British Burma, in exchange for arms. Having Siam as an ally would prevent France from getting a hold in Asia. Siam modernizes its army and prepares to invade Viet Nam with its newly acquired weapons, but also asks for a formal alliance with Britain.

The British agree to supply surplus arms and equipment, as well as promising that they won't expand beyond their current borders in SE Asia barring war with another European power. The navy is significantly improved, and several regiments redeploy from Great Britain to New Brunswick, putting pressure on the US. The first shipment of arms to Burma (composed of roughly 4,000 old Model 1755 muskets and ~30 light field pieces) is scheduled to arrive in January of 1864.



France: The French prepare for war with the U.S.A.

Why would France help the CSA? Both sides requested help from European countries. However, France would probably respond to the US forces, not the CSA forces.

'''Britain and France had a deal, where if the CSA captured Philadelphia, they would officially help them. (The CSA)'''

Yes, but Philidelphia wasn't captured yet.

French Forces enter Mexico city, French forces spread out to defeat the remaining Mexican forces. Maximilian the 1st is put in control of the new Mexican monarcht. France asks for an allaince with Austria-Hungary and the U.K. France accepts the allanice with Joseobn. (The French prepare for war with the U.S.A. in late 1863.) DIPLOMATIC SECRET!

USA: American troops fight off CSA forces at Philidelphia, holding the line. They secure the Potomac and take some land surrounding it. This will prevent the CSA from taking Philidelphia or the Potomac again. They also request an alliance with France, England, Spain, Italy, and Japan.

Paraguay: Recently elected president of Paraguay, Francisco Solano López, is traveling the Paraguayan countryside when he sees a hill which he believes will be the key to his enlightenment on how to rule his country. He asks the driver to stop and pull aside, and asks the owner of the ranch whether he could spend a day meditating under a shade tree. He falls asleep and is awoken by the sound of a cow, and is so startled, he jerks out of his sleep, and startles a mule, who kicks a bucket and hits Solano in the head, knocking him out. A small stampede runs over him, breaking his foot and causing it to become infected. He dies later in the year.

Austria-Hungary: Weapons and arms are sent to the Confederacy because of horrible Austro-Hungarian relations with the U.S.A. The Austro-Hungarian rail system is near completion too.

Joseon: Joseon begins a period of cooperation with the western powers, bring in technology such as guns, ships, and more. They ask for an alliance with the CSA, Japan, China, UK, and France. They begin to improve their inadequet army and navy, which are both in disrepair due to corrupt officials. Britain accepts, in exchange for a 50-year lease on Jeju Island. Upon Korea agreeing to this, they will immediately receive a sum of 1.7 million pounds (roughly 82 billion dollars in todays currency), four outdated gunboats, and 7,000 muskets. Aide in the form of advisors, engineers, and such is exected to arrive within the next two years.

Russia reforms its military introducing conscription and creating a reserve. Russia creates new military schools its officers teaching new tactics modeled after other European, Russia also begins modernising its navy.

Spain: Thanks to close production ties with the German states, Spain is able to establish a constant amount of material for goods, infrastructure, and most importantly the production of its newly created Steam powered Cruiser. Spainish officals also begin looking torwards the Civil War as a profit expander and it begins to sell products to both sides from Cuba.

1864
France:The French consolidate thier hold on Mexico. France delares war on the U.S.A. Contingents of the French Foreign Legion land in New Orleans and take steamboats up to assult Chicago. French Troops begin joing in the with Confederate armies. It is demanded that the U.S.A. leave the Confederates alone or worse will yet come!

'''But the CSA didn't capture Philidelphia yet! The CSA guy said the troops were making their way to Philidelphia.'''

Joseon: Joseon agrees to Britain's proposal, but offers 15 more years for 10,000 rifles and 5 ships, along with military advisors, trainers, etc.

CSA: The ANV captures Erie and stripps it of value. 3 ironclads are there and are then manned by Confederate sailors who sail them out of the St Lawrence and then south to break the Union blockade. The CSA asks Britian, Prussia, and Spain for an alliance. After a few weeks ofd resting in Erie, the ANV marches north east wards and afetr a 2 month siege, (with the help of the 3 ironclads) captures New York City, causing many of its residents to flee north to Boston and New England. The NYC harbor is also holding 7 warships, 4 ironclads( 2 monitors), and 5 gunboats, giving the CSA 16 new ships for its navy. This "Rebel" sqaudrin as it is nicknamed by Robert E Lee, soon sets up a protective blockade of New York harbor, blocking any US attack on the ANV. The CSA tells France and Britian that in return for recognition and declaration of war on the USA, it will abolish slavery by 1885. The Confederate Army of South Texas (50,000 men) waits for orders from Richmond, and hopefully, the Spanis, German, and British declaration of war on the Union.

'''3 Ironclads and the ANV can't take down a huge city full of ships and troops. This is completely implausible. Also, do not delete my posts again. I didnt delete your thing. You cant control the border states, that will be the moderators jobs. Kentucky is pro south, or at the least, neutral, so Kentucky does not declare its allegance t the Union. Maryland is also pro south, West Vrginia is yours to play with, but the other border stats beside Deleware, are under mine or the Moderators control. I DID DELTE KENTUCKY PLEDGING ALLEGANCE TO THE USA, BUT THST IS ALL. The Border States have not left the Union. Therefore, they are mine.'''

USA: Kentucky and Maryland pledge their alleigance to the US. The US consolidate their defenses around Philidelphia and DC. By now, an attack on Philidelphia or DC would be highly impractical. Cannons bombard the forces attacking Chicago. The USA asks for an alliance from Joseon, Russia, Britain, Japan, and China.

'''Joseon accepts, but just reminding you, you have to give the CSA independence. That's the rule. Joseon is the CSA's ally, who's side are you on?!'''

Russia accepts

Russia: Russia continues to modernise its military by modernising their weapons. Russia also begins subsidizing and giving grants the Russian American Company in return the Russian American Company agrees to establish new settlements for new colonists from Russia. Russia begins a resettlement program encouraging people to settle in Russian Alaska Great

Britain: British troops continue to redeploy along the US-DoC border from New Brunswick to Columbia, prepping for war with America. England's already massive navy is improved and expanded, and commerce raiding begins against American shipping. Aid continues to be sent to Joseon and Siam, while several obsolete warships and ~40 field pieces are donated to the Confederate war effort.

'''Britain declared their neutrality, along with France, in the American Civil War. They said out loud, "We're sitting this one out." In fact, even before the war, the British prime minister declared that Britain would mantain neutrality. There was nothing OTL saying anything about Philidelphia. In fact, what you guys had said is quite the opposite of OTL. I believe you are incorrect. The British and French governments provided massive amounts of arms to the Confederate government, much as the French did to the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Which prime minister was it? Both Aberdeen and Derby were anti-American. Actually, neither of them served during the war. Henry John Temple was the Prime Minister during the American Civil War. He served from 1859-1865. Convinient huh? He was the guy who said Britain will mantain neutrality, though that was threatened in the Trent Affair, which was resolved in 1862. The resolution of the Trent affair dealt a serious blow to Confederate diplomatic efforts. First, it deflected the recognition momentum developed during the summer and fall of 1861. It created a feeling in Great Britain that the United States was prepared to defend itself when necessary, but recognized its responsibility to comply with international law. Moreover, it produced a feeling in Great Britain and France that peace could be preserved as long as the Europeans maintained strict neutrality in regard to the American belligerents. Also, the two were economically interdependent on each other. Britain needed grain from America and knew that war meant no grain from America. As for France, they also wanted to remain neutral in the war.'''

France in the American Civil War

Britain in the American Civil War

Siam: Siamese troops invade Viet Nam and with their newly acquired weapons, easily start to gain success in the region. Attacks on Saigon and Hanoi start, and the two cities are captured in the name of the king. Siam offers Britain military access, to the country.

Japan: The Japanese Shogun responds to the Hamaguri Rebellion by brutaly crushing the rebellion but loosens the isolationist policies. Japanese troops takes control of the Ryukyu Islands. The Japenese Navy begins modernizations into modern ironclads.

Just want to remind whoever's playing as Japan, that the Meiji Restoration has not happened yet, therefore, the Shogun makes the decisions, not the Emperor. Gracias for telling me that. Austria-

Hungary: Alliance with France accepted. Austria-Hungary begins research in breech loaded rifles.

Paraguay: After a short period of chaos due to the death of Francisco Solano López, Cirilo Antonio Rivarola manages to take power, and is unanimously elected as president, despite being the only candidate. He loosens some of the economic policies that he called "ultra-isolationist." Rivarola requests economic aid and investment from both the Union and Confederacy, saying it will decide which side to join depending on technological and economic assistance.

Spain: The Spanish goverment warns Great Britain that war with the US is interferring with a war that had little to do with them, they also show results of a recent poll made by members of the Spanish kings advisors show that the need for Confederate cotton in Britain went from 70-80% to 10-20%.

The CSA calls for a meeting in Bermuda with its Allies Britian and Austria-Hungary. '''THIS IS TOP SECRET, SO NO USA FINDING OUT AND CAPTRING THE CSA AND ITS ALIES LEADERS! '''

The CSA offers Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, the French puppet state of Mexico and Chile for an aliance.

1864.6

 * The United States takes parts of Virginia and Tennessee. Other parts of Virginia are bombarded and ransacked. They offer France, Mexico, Italy, and Brazil for an alliance. Meanwhile, relations with some Native American tribes increase.


 * Russia: Seeing Britans deployment of troops in Columbia angers frightens and angers Alexander II. Alexander redeploys his newly trained troops to to Alaska in case Britain attempts to attack Russian Alaska. Alexander promises vast lands to emancipated serfs who move to Russian Alaska. The emacipated serfs sees this as a great opportunity and the Russian population will have tripled in Alaska by 1865.6. Russia continues to modernise its navy.


 * Paraguay: Paraguay works on its economy, improving port facilities on the Paraguay River. President Rivarola makes more anti-protectionist measures, but refuses to lift most protectionism from nearby Brazil and Argentina.


 * Siaml.png capures most of Viet Nam, and formally annexes it. The Siamese King invites the Vietnamese Emperor to his Palace, and tells him that he is welcome to stay anywhere in Siam, and none of his privileges will be taken away, and that he is also free to leave if he wishes so. The Vietnamese Emperor decides to stay in the newly-Siamese Viet Nam. Siam sends an envoy to London to officially start trade. They also ask to buy Tenasserim from Britain in exchange for a lot of money, and open trade ports in Siam, as well as full military access. Siam also sends an offer of alliance to Japan.


 * Joseon continues to modernize and reform, and send Russia, Paraguay, and Siam alliances. Meanwhile, the first shipments of the guns start to arrive, and Korean engineers begin to manufacture their own ones.


 * France: Lands an army in Norfolk and the Eastern Shore.

'''Look, France would not help the CSA.They never supplied weapons to the CSA. I don't know where you guys heard that, but it never happened and if it is ATL, it is implausible.'''

Armys come through California.

'''How would your army come to California? The Panama Canal hasn't been built yet, and an invasion of the US is completely implausible. And please right more like the others, not in this form.'''

Mass Levys are raised in French Mexico to terate California


 * Brazil starts to work in its economy.


 * Spain: The Spanish navy continues to grow day by day with each ship being revised in order to meet the new demans needed to overcome all sea faring threats. Spanish troops are positioned in Cuba and they warn Britain that war with the United States means that spains millitary would take actions against the Confederate States. In Asia, Spain finally allows the local population to practice there religon of there wishes, although many who turn to Chrisitianity are payed for there change of religon.


 * China: China goes under a democratic revoution and is renamed the Republic of China and raise stability through out China. China also captures Japan and offers an alliance to Korea.
 * Ridiculous, but maybe it would work if it took place over at least 10-15 years or so. 


 * Alliance accepted, but I agree with this person. It would take at least 15-20 years to capture Japan, and that is if you actually win. Japan is a very strong nation right now, enough to defeat China, which had just been through a revolution.


 * You realize in this exact half-year, you just finished the most destructive war in Chinese history, and it was crushed. A democratic revolution would not occur directly after for innumerable reasons. China is so big, a democratic revolution doesn't just occur in one year, nor in any country. 


 * Austria-Hungary: 50,000 soldiers are placed on the Serbian border after a dispute. Alliance offer sent to Prussia. More weapons and ammunition sent to the Confederacy

1865

 * Peru: declares war against Ecuador.


 * United States: Union forces capture Richmond and the surrounding area. Also, California's military is amped up.

'YOU CANT JUST KEEP ON CAPTURING CS TERRITORY AND CITIES, YOU HAVE TO ACTUALY BE REALISTIC, IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A 4 MONTH SIEGE TO TAKE RICMOND AND AT LEAST HALF A MONT TO PREPARE FOR IT AS WELL AS MARCING TO rICMOND WHICH WOULD BE HEAILY DEFENDED BY CONFEDERATE TROOPS, MINES, AND DEFENSE MECHANISMS. ''It sure would take a four month siege, you are correct. Each turn takes six months. So calm down. '''

The CSA offers an armistice to the USA. Kentucky, Maryland, and the Arizona territory join the Confederacy due to US forces imposing martial law in these territories/states,, and all join as the states of Kentucky, Maryland, and Arizona, Washington is surrounded and the Maryland miltia lays siege to the city as the ANV marches south and at the Battle of Montgomery County, deals a serious blow to the Army of the Potomac, killing 24,894 Union troops and wounding 11,256, with Washingtons defences nearby, the Army of the Potomac, with 67,000 men, scarcley manages to enter Washington DC and prepare for the long siege. The US federal government escapes, and its location is unknown but to the USA itself. After a month, the Army of the Potomac escapes across the Potomac and begins to march torwards Richmond, not knowing the Confederate government escapes to Montgomery, which rebecomes the CS capital. Jefferson Davis remains in Richmond along with the rest of the Executive branch. The Congress escapes however This appened beofre the USA took Richmond, so Richmond is in Union hands as is the Exefcutive branch of the CSA, but the Congress of the CSA is begginng to make up for it by giving the Presidensy to Confederate Sentaor William E. Simms '''.  ''Washington remains under siege.

Look, Maryland and Kentucky pledged alliegance to the US .

The CSA offers the USA peace, and tarriff free trade with the Union as well as a defensive pact between the pact if the Union accepts, as well as abolishing slavery by 1880, or earlier, and secretly, a miltary pact to split Mexico, and that the CSA itself will pay France for its loss. TOP SECRET. 


 * Siam: Engineers create a somewhat more advanced version of the basic muskets that were given to them by Britain. Siam also works to create a cultural union out of all the lands it currently holds, and creates a port in Saigon.


 * Japan: The Shogun brutally crushes another rebellion causing even larger protest with-in the military itself. As of now it is unknown what this will lead to


 * Paraguay: Paraguay comes to Uruguay's aid after it was invaded by Brazil, initiating an alliance. Paraguay upgrades its military with new muskets and uniforms.


 * Brazil: asks for a non-aggression pact with Paraguay. Paraguay_Cession_US_Civil_War.png


 * Paraguay agrees to the alliance in return for a lease on Brazilian territory south of the Igauzú River, although Brazil would be allowed to keep most of the coastal area. Paraguay would also offer a large sum of money and free trade in Paraguay's two ports.


 * Brazil accepts.

CSA: The CS presidency is turned over to Confederate Senator William E. Simms, who pledges that once the war is over, the Presidency will be returned to its rightful owner. The CSA sends 2 million dollars to Paraguay in economic aid as well as 20,000 tons of cotton, corn, and wheat.

Joseon: Joseon receives the entire shipment of British materials, and begins to train their army/navy with British officers. Meanwhile, learning English becomes mandetory to become an officer, which creates much dissent omong the army.

France:Funnels troopes into the C.S.A. for use against the U.S.. The Chicago offensive begins!

Spain: Unwilling to let foreign powers intervene in America, Spain sends millitary advisors and supplys to troops in the United States and warn that war with the Confederate States would be imminent unless France and Britain back off of a war that has nothing to do with them. Spanish magazines oth in and out of the country begin to show both images and articles telling its readers that both Britain and Frances intervention in the Civil War is only a pursuit for more power. Spanish ironclads are created much faster after new innovations to docks and shipbuilding property, not to mention ammuniton production begins to reach on of its highest moments in Spain. Spain also declares that its almost unavoidible war with the C.S. would not involve France and Britain unless that was there aim.

Austria-Hungary: Troops storm over the Serbian border and the Serbian capital, Belgrade, is suurounded in a month. A peace agreement is offered to,and accepted by, the Serbians. The agreement st ates that all Serbian territory above the danube will be ceded to Austria-Hungary.

'''Serbia doesn't exist at this point. The Ottoman Empire has its lands. Plus the land you conquered was already part of Austria during this time up till its dissolution anyways. '''

'''Sorry forgot about that, I fixed it though. '''

1865.6

 * Brazil:amps up its military.


 * France-Armies make their way to Chicago annhilating many towns on the way.


 * France was neutral in the war. In fact, supporting the CSA is even implausible. 


 * WE GET IT, THIS IS THE 11TH TIME YOUVE SID THIS, THIS IS SUPPOESD TO BE FUN, NOT REWRITING AN ENTIRE HSITROY BOOK BASED EXACTLY ON FACTS!!! 


 * But still you have to be plausible. 


 * Siam: Siam now doubles their offer, in order to get Malaya, and Tenasserim, from Britain, but also offering it full, unrestricted access to Siamese seas, and also creates a British consulate in Bangkok. Siam makes the GBP legal tender, as well as its own currency, due to the number of British traders going through Siam, and they continue amping up their military, as the military shipments from Britain continue. The new muskets made in Siam are quickly produced for the army. The Indochinese Cultural Union Board is founded in Phuket, which is responsible for uniting the people in Siam, and also making sure all cultures have their say in the government.


 * The US continues to fortify its holdings and takes more of Virginia. Parts of North Carolina also are conquered. Artillery is placed along the Mississippi and Atlantic, preventing enemy ships from doing any damages.


 * Peru:starts to amp up its army, while taking parts of Eastern Ecuador.


 * Russia: Alexander II begins drawing up a plan for a parliament to give more freedom to his people. Russia also goes under an economic reform creating railways throughout Russia and its possesions while creating a huge amount of jobs to people to build the railroads. Russia's has troops stationed on the Alaskan-Candian border and will invade if Britain attacks the USA.


 * The CSA, with an army of 300,000 Confederate, Frenc, and Brtis "vollunteers," equipped with Gatling guns and heavy artillery, retakes Ricmond and the southern bank of the Potomac. It soon crosses the river, and protected by French warships, lays siege to Washington DC, and with constant shelling by sea and land, 44% of the cities people will be killed by the time of the cities surrender, which houses the US federal government. 200,000 CS, French troops, and Austrian mercaneries also equipped with heavy artillery, and gatling guns, is transported by sea to Delaware and in the largest amphibious assault yet known (90,000 men,) succesfully takes the state capital, Dover, and force te state to leave the Union and join the CSA, who then gives it to France as a gift.


 * France will not help you, England will not help you, and you can't take back an entire state, destroy Washington, take ANOTHER state all in one turn. Plus you can't make riots spread in my country. You need to look at other map games and see how things are done, because this is getting rediculous. Do not start another turn early 

'''Hey, who removed the categories? '''


 * Spain: Spain offers a alliance with Russia in order to help ensure that France and Britain know there place in the Civil War: To remain neutral. Meanwhile trade with the U.S. and C.S. continues, joyful that foriegn intervention would not intervene in the war allowing, allowing them to continue using the war as a way to expand economically.


 * Japan: The Shogun of Japan begins modernizing troops using a variant of the Prussian Needle-gun


 * Colombia: Colombia emerges as an international power after a few years of civil war and insecurity when the Liberal side wins an advantage over the conservative when it wins against a few Conservative rebels in Tunja, and disperse Tunja's population. The capital is moved first to Rionegro, Antioquia, but later was moved to Medellín when the Colombian government decided to create an artificial capital in a small town, instead of a city in the too large and disorganized Rionegro, even though Medellín is also relatively large already. It starts to improve it's army and invades what is left of Ecuador, taking Quito by the end of the year and asking Peru to sell them the eastern part of Ecuador in exchange for a large sum of money and trade rights in Ecuatorian territory.


 * Paraguay sets up ports at Laguna and Puerto Alegre. Paraguay sends some of its ships down the Paraná and Paraguay Rivers in a procession to reach the ports. In addition, new roads are opened up to allow transportation of goods to these ports.

1866

 * Brazil:sets up a port in Paranaguá.meanwhile, amp up its navy and army.


 * France:French and C.S.A. troops finally take Chicago!


 * France would never help the CSA 


 * CSA: Washington DC falls to the heavily resupplied Army of North Virginia, as does the federal government of the Union, the only problem is that US President Lincoln escaped to the north. The new Army of the Atlantic, whic leads the famously successfull attack on Delaware, marches west and takes Annapolis, and froces the state of Maryland to join the Confederacy, surrounding the former Union capital with the Confederacy. The CSA offers thhe Union an armistice, seeing as te US congess is being heald prisoner of the Confederacy.


 * You can't take DC, Deleware, and Virginia in one turn. Implausible. 


 * USA: US troops reinforce their holdings on major cities. Chicago is retaken. More parts of North Carolina are taken. The US offers peace to the CSA, as long as they pay for the war and any federal property in their lands. A military base is set up in the trade depot of Creedmoor.


 * The CSA accepts the US armistice offer, negotiations will take place in diplomacy page


 * Russia: Russia accepts Spain's offer. Russia continues to build railroads throughout their empire the Tzar continues to reform his government by begining to create a parliment to appease the anarchists in his country. This appeases many Russians and domestic disputes lower dramatically, Russia continues to train their military and modernise their navy. Plans are made to see if a railroad can be built from russia to Alaska.
 * Austria-Hungary: Navy is built up in aspirations of creating a colonial power. Money is given to the CSA to help pay off war debt.
 * Siam starts to connect their cities, by use of rails and officially sends an alliance offer to the CSA. Siam invades Burma (The northern part of the country is not British at this time so it is not an attack on Britain!!!!! So no one say I attacked the Brits, they are still allies.) Siamese troops conquer the south of the independent nation, and plan to move to the north by the end of two years, or so. They again remind Britain about their offer, and continue to work on infastructure in general.




 * By the way, I asked Britain for Tenasserim and Malaya almost three or four turns ago. Please respond!!! *:( Sorry I was at another MUN conference
 * Britain gracefully declines Siam's offer, citing their need for continued control over the Straits of Malacca. Meanwhile, more supplies and weapons are sent to the CSA, as well as roughly 200 "observers" to assist in the training and instruction of Confederate militiamen. Troop buildup in Canada continues, and funds are covertly sent to several of the more radical sects of the LDS churches in Illinois and Missouri. The navy is, as always, expanded and improved.
 * Tenasserim is not Straits of Malacca.
 * Indeed, but Malaya is on the Straits. Giving another nation control over that area would severely compromise Britain's ability to access their Pacific colonies.
 * Well, you could give me ONLY Tenasserim. Plus, the offer was, full unrestricted access through Siam. No qualms whatsoever. In essence Siam is almost your land.
 * Joseon offers an alliance to Siam, and begins to help the CSA. They, however, tell them that they MUST abolish slavery by 1880.
 * Japan: Accepts the Siamese invitation for an alliance. Many are confused by the Shogun's apparent 180 degree turn in isolationist policies but none truly question as the Emporer backs him and they view him as a god.
 * The Emperor is the Shogun's puppet at this time. Don't worry about him :) The Shogun is the dictator of Japan, no one questions him.
 * Prussia, seeing that it was quickly becoming the dominate power of the German states over the decaying Austria, begins absorbing the smaller city states between the two halves of Prussia.

1866.6

 * Brazil amps up its military and navy.
 * Peru: good part of Southern Ecuador is conquered.
 * The Treaty of London

I am fine with everything except #4. You can, however, have the Arizona territory. (I have some ideas for the indian stuff). I also want to keep Fort Creedmoor (I have ties to it OTL). CrimsonAssassin 12:40, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Withdrawl date: July 4th, 1867. Can you withdraw in December of 1866, i need to rebuild Richmond, I will exchange the US Congress for the CS executive branch Rebelsoldier 12:52, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I would like to, but that's really fast for total withdrawl. July 4th of next year just seems more reasonable. ok CrimsonAssassin 12:57, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Can we trade back our governments then?

Russia: Russia begins to build a railway to Alaska this will allow Russia easier access to to Alaska. It is estimated that this railway bridge will be completed by 1868.6. Gold is found in Alaksa this causes a goldrush many thousands of Russians move to Alaska in hope of finding gold. Russia continues to go under economic and military reform. Russia expands its navy. China:China strengthen the Econemy and starts a transition to a democratic government in 1870. China also ask a alliance to Siam. Paraguay: Paraguay upgrades its economy, and improves its port facilities. Paraguay asks alliances to Peru, Siam, and Prussia.

1867
CSA: The Confederate Revolution officialy ends with the signing of the Treaty of London, which grants the CSA independance, the Arizona Territory, and if the border states of Kentucky and Missouri choose to, Kentucky and Missouri. The referendum id to take place in 2 months. The referendum takes place in Kentucky and Missouri. Kentucky overwelmingly votes to join the CSA, while Missouri votes in the same fashion to reamin American as does West Virginia. The CSA send its first diplomat to the USA. Kentucky becomes the 12th Confederate State while Arizona is turned into the 13th state of Arizona. The CSA offers the USA a mutual defense treaty, which is ratified by the CSA' congress almost unanimously aproves, it is soon signed by CS President, William E Simms, and sent to the US congress for aproval. The CSA asks France if it will sell the 3 Yucatan states, Sonora, Chihuahua, Tamualipas, Coahuila, Nueva Leon, Baja California, amd Baja California Sure for 19 million dollars as well as 150,000 tons of cotton corn, and wheat.

British troops begin the process of redeploying from Canada back into other territories as the War Between the States winds down (I'm not entirely sure what we should call the CSA's war of independence, but the WBtS seems good enough). A naval detatchment reinforces Britain's forces in Oceania, and colonization throughout Africa continues. Troops begin to skirmish against Boer forces around the OFS.

Joseon again asks for an alliance to Russia, as well as with the CSA and USA. Joseon also begins a period of modernization and cooperation with the west, much to the dismay of some of their senior officials.

What?the 1866.6 turn started today and there is already a 1867 turn?

It goes by UTC.

yes, but when it starts?when i added the 1866.6 part, it was, like, 8:00 in UTC.it is 20:00 in UTC now.i thought that the turns started at 0:01 of the following day.

Russia: Russia will accept an alliance with Joseon if Joseon agrees to allow Russian naval vessels have unrestricted access to all their ports and in return Russia will defend Joseon in case of a war. Russia continues to expand economically and militarily. The Russian population in Alaska has reached 30,000 Russia begins to build miltary forts and docks throughout Alaska. Russia navy is contunied to be modernised.

USA: The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments pass. Due to very little of the north being damaged and the hefty sum given to the USA by the CSA, reconstruction doesn't take as long. Abraham Lincoln gives a speech this year at Washington. He is not shot.

Peru: accepts the alliance with Paraguay.

I had already conquered Quito.

Sorry, i didn't read your posts.Wait, this means that my whole war against Ecuador is invalidated?i mean, if yes, can i remove my posts about declaring war on Ecuador (when it was already taken)? France:A pro-Yucatec rebellion breaks out in the Yucatan for indepedndece. French troops respond quickly.

After a year, in which Siamese troops continued to invade Burma, the Burmese suddenly offered a surrender. Siam annexed the country, and continues integrating its population. It offers unrestricted military access to Britain for British Burma, and again, reminds them, that this is FULL military access. No questions asked. It would be similar to Siam being a protectorate of Britain.

Paraguay: Paraguay suggests unification with Bolivia, after Bolivia's failed attempt to unify with Peru. This time, the Paraguayans believe they will not face intervention due to ties to the powerful countries of Peru and Brazil. In addition, they begin building a road to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from Arica to Puerto Alegre. Austria-Hungary: Liberals take to the street to demand free elections, this is accepted yet only Austrians or Hungarians in the upper class have this right. Brazil offers a proposal to partition Bolivia between them and Peru in a near future.(NOTE:this is secret, so only Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay should know about this)


 * Wait does this involve Paraguay? Can I at least have the southern part?


 * Well, Peru wants Eastern Bolivia, the littoral and Acre, I want parts of Western Bolivia.However, how about the whole Gran Chaco disputed in OTL Chaco War (map for reference here:) to you


 * Nah, I already own most all of that and then some. I need at least 3 km of coast, so I can eventually expand into Chile. Also preferably the coast isn't in the middle of the Atacama.


 * Divergences started.Peru also wants to expand to Chile, and said that with that condition, you would need the Peruvian littoral,because all the Bolivian littoral is in the Atacama and you don't own small parts of Gran Chaco .However, i made a reference map based in your proposals.please, understand,the quality may be bad, the map may be superimposed over OTL borders, but i tried to do my best in making the map.the orange marks in Argentina and Chile are remants from the original map (it was a map about the Atacama desert).and sorry for forgetting your Atlantic littoral.


 * Looks good. I just wanted to make sure I had at least one medium-sized town, and I got Tocopilla so I'm good. If Peru wants part of Chile that would be great. Btw in English, "coastal" is preferred over "littoral."


 * I think that we should start the war against Bolivia in 1870, or something.

The CSA asks France if it will sell the 3 Yucatan states, Sonora, Chihuahua, Tamualipas, Coahuila, Nueva Leon, Baja California, amd Baja California Sure for 19 million dollars as well as 150,000 tons of cotton corn, and wheat. The CSA offers Paraguay an alliance in return for ecomnomic aid and trade

All German states between the two halves of Prussia are "asked nicely" at gunpoint to join the Empire of Prussia. They do so wearily. Prussia now controls all of northern Germany.

1867.6

 * Brazil improve its economy.


 * The CSA asks the USA to politely make up its mind on the mutual protection pact Treaty.


 * The CSA asks France if it will sell the 3 Yucatan states, Sonora, Chihuahua, Tamualipas, Coahuila, Nueva Leon, Baja California, amd Baja California Sure for 19 million dollars as well as 150,000 tons of cotton corn, and wheat.


 * France will only sell the 2/3 of the Yucatan, Sonora, Chihauhua and Parts of Northern Mexico as well as the products for 13 millon dollars!


 * The CSA accepts, and formaly annexes Chihuahua, Sonora, and 2/3 of the Yucatan as well as parts of Norhern Mexico. Sonora becomes the 14the Confederate State while Chihuahua becomes the 15th Confederate state. The Yucatan becomes the Yucatan Territory, but riots continue in the Yucatan. Do to internal issues, the CSA, eners a period of isolation to rebuild itself and a railroad from Virginia to Sonora's Pacific coast as well as a telegraph line from Richmond to Guyamas. Plans for an independant Yucatan begin to be made.

'''You just had a war. Work on rebuilding, not annexing.'''

will do.

Russia continues building railroads throughout its empire. Russia now has the largest and most accesible railroad system in the world allowing it to move goods and people extremly quickly throughout its empire. Russia continues economic and miltary reform increasing its navy and arming it with heavier and more powerful weapons. More and more immagrants continue to move to Alaska due to the gold rush and when the Railway linking Alaska and Russia together is completed many more will join them Russia continues to build towns in Alaska some of which are becoming cities. Russia sends more troops to Alaska.

Peru continues to amp up its military, and its economy improves.

Siam: Siam continues to work on assimilating the cultures of Indochina within its Kingdom. They open up to trade with the Confederacy, but its main cotton import comes from India. Siam continues building railroads, but looking at the world's perspective on slavery makes them decide to abolish the institution by 1890. in a slower, stable way.

British troops move into BC and the Yukon in response to similar Russian troop movements. It proposes a non-agression pact between themselves and the Russians, while the navy is continually expanded and improved. In other news, Gladstone becomes Prime Minister. He immediately begins breaking up the government monopoly on alcohol and halts further attacks on the Boer states, while plotting the formation of a Radical-Liberal-Free Church power bloc in Parliament.

'''Siam asked for British Burma in exchange for unlimited military and trade access last turn. Please respond, Britain!!!'''

'''Russia will accept this non-agression pact if Britian agrees not to interfere in any way!!! In Russia's Invasion plans against the Ottoman empire.'''

'''I believe that I had made it pretty clear that Britain isn't interested in selling land for trade benefits etc. The UK has enough domestic commerce that, combined with a large merchant marine and control of many of the world's maritime trade routes, there is little need to do this. As for the non-agression pact, I have to decline (I'd like the Levant/Palestine and Hedjaz). If we can come to an agreement over this, then it would be perfectly agreeable to me.'''

'''Ill agree to those demands. I want to take all Ottoman territories up to OTL Syria whatever below that is yours.'''

I believe we have a deal:D

Paraguay tells the CSA it will offer relations and trade but it is too poor to offer any aid. Paraguay asks that the CSA set up a market for hierba mate. Paraguay continues to make relations with Bolivia, making relations in order to gain support before the partition of Bolivia. Paraguay builds more merchant ships.

1868
France:Proposes an allanice with Austria(-Hungary_).

Russia: Russia begins moving a massive amount of troops and engineers to the Ottoman border at OTL Romania via railroads. Russia continues to modernise its navy and military.

Russia Alaskan railroad will be completed with 6 months. Russian moves its Black Sea navy to reinforce its army. Russian engineers are tasked with building railroads as the Russian army advances.

The Empire of Prussia, weary after hearing that a French-Austrian alliance was possible, Prussia reaches out to Britain for a possible alliance.

CSA: the CSA accepts Paraguays offer qand sets up the market, the CSA warns against war between France-Austria against Prussia saying, war is not the answer, and we will defend the attacked if help is requested, or in other terms, back off of eachother, now. An alliance is offered to Britian, Brazil, and Paragay. If the Union does not reply soon to the alliance offer, it will be withdrawn.

Peru; continues to amp up its military.

Brazil: amps up its military and asks for alliances to Austria and Prussia. Siam: Siam works on improving infastructure, and their railroads.

Prussia: Prussia will only consider Brazil's offer if it drops Austria from the alliance. Prussia asks Bavaria if it wishs to join the Prussian Empire. Bavaria outright denies.

Brazil accepts the Prussian terms.

Paraguay: Paraguay begins constructing factories in Puerto Cirilo Antonio Rivarola (OTL Puerto Alfredo Stroessner), as well as its port at Puerto Alegre. Paraguay again proposes an alliance to Siam.

PM Gladstone declines an alliance with Prussia. However, he does ask for a non-agression pact with the CSA, Prussia, France, and Austria-Hungary. Meanwhile, work on the Suez Canal continues, and it is expected to be finished by 1870. Troop deployments in Egypt increase significantly.

Prussia agrees to these terms.

1868.6
France: Accepts the Non-Ag. Pact.

Brazil: asks for a alliance with Japan.

Peru:starts to build fortresses in their borders with Bolivia.

Siam: builds fortresses around its borders. It also continues on infastructure.

CSA: The CSA accepts Britians non agression pact and offers a mtual protection pact to Brtian as well as Brazil. The CSA continues to not interfere in other countires, but offers Britian $6,000,000 for the Bahamas and $250,000 for Bermuda which will always allow Brtish warships and merchant ships to dock at. Spain is offered $8,000,000 for Cuba and Purta Rico. The CSA begins to industrailize and bulk up its amred forces. The Emancipation Act is passed by the Confederate Congress, freeing all slavesin the Confedracy as well as paying the owners of the said slaves $3,000 for each lost slave. Slavery is officaily ended but a state of Peonage is introduced which gradualy gets the Freemen citizenship, starting with them getting an education as wellas making sure they have enough money to get along. The CSS Richmond and CSS Virginia are launched, the first Confederate steam frigate with an ironclad like shell 8 inches thick. The CSA offers Argentina an allaince.

Brazil accepts the protection pact offer from CSA.

Thank you Brazil, you will not regret it.

'''I'm sorry but Britain is going to have to decline both offers. I'd like to keep my territory intact.'''


 * Paraguay enacts a seven-year plan for rapid modernization from 1869 to 1875, involving construction of a trans-continental railroad from Tocopilla to Laguna. It also contained plans to construct thousands of factories throughout Paraguay, and create corporations under the Paraguayan government, and would eventually serve as Paraguay's top level divisions. grade school students would forego learning Spanish literature and language or advanced mathematics, and instead pursue an intensive study of economics and business. All military, social, political, and international matters would be temporarily suspended until the conclusion of the plan (with the sole exception of secret deals with other nations on the partition of Bolivia).
 * Argentina: Argentina accepts the CSA's offer of allaince, and Brazil, French Mexico, Brazil, and the CSA officaily form the American Powers


 * The Suez Canal is officially opened. Trade revenue booms, and the Royal Navy begins a period of massive expansion. Enjoying a high approval rating, Gladstone creates the Reformist Party in Parliament(basically an isolationist, laissez-faire, Old Right-esque group). Most Low Tories and many Liberals join; decimating the numbers of both Conservatives and Labour alike. Their first official act is to lower tariffs on goods in both Ireland and the colonies, as well as ending the role of the Church of Ireland as the official church of Eire. Troop levels in Egypt increase.


 * Prussia, with the non-aggression pact in place, begins to build up. German industry pops up all over the Rhineland, and the capital city of Berlin becomes a booming city. Ports ship out more and more commerce, and Prussia becomes greater than ever before.


 * Russia: Russia begins its offensive against the Ottoman Empire. troops advance into OTL Romaina. Thousands of reinforcements are sent to the front via railroads as the Russians advance engineers begin building railroads and incorporating existing railroads in former Ottoman territory, this gives Russia a significant advantage allowing it to send troops much faster than the Ottomans. The Alaskan-Russian railroad is complete this allows colonists to travel to Alaska much faster. Russia's navy is expanded.


 * Ethiopia: Tekle Giyorgis II is crowned nəgusä nägäst (emperor) of Ethiopia, he begins to try and modernize Ethiopia and build a modern army to protect itself from foreign interference.

1869

 * Ethiopia: Civil war properly starts between Tekle Giyorgis II & Yohannes IV, however due to British support and modern weapons Yohannes IV looks set to win the war (This is British support in OTL rather than the British in this map game declaring an alliance with Yohannes IV).


 * Brazil:starts to build industries in cities of Salvador, São Paulo and Recife.


 * Peru:with Brazilian help, starts to build industries in the city of Tacna.


 * The CSA offers France and Germany an alliance in an attempt to unite 2 of Europes most powerful nations on one side.


 * Prussia, after serious consideration, accepts the CSA's offer. Meanwhile, the German Army becomes stronger, growing to a great number. Prussia begins to send units near the border of the southern German states.


 * Siam continues to integrate its people, and continues on its infastructure.


 * Paraguay continues on its seven-year plan.


 * France: France asks Prussia to make the Alsace-Lorraine Free Zone rather than put it in one nation!


 * Russia: Russia advance on Ottoman territories goes well as the Ottomans army is outdated and Christians Throughout Ottoman controlled Europe rise up against their Ottoman overlords. By the end of July most of OTL Romania is under Russian control. Russia black sea fleet engages the Ottoman fleet and decimates their outdated fleet. Russia sends raiding parties to disrupt the supply chain to Ottoman Europes armies. Russia continues to expand economically and modernise.

'''Somehow, the categories since 1865 disappeared.i did my best to re-organize the page, and corrected some spelling mistakes. '''Collie Kaltenbrunner 21:53, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

'''Thank you for that. '''


 * Prussia agrees to the Free Zone. Alsace-Lorraine becomes a prosperous free economic zone between the French and the Prussians. Also, Prussia asks France for a formal declaration of alliance.

1869.6
'''Will somebody make an updated map sometime? '''
 * Brazil:preparations for war begin.units are sent to the Bolivian border.
 * Peru:units are sent to the Bolivian border.
 * France: It is discovered that Guatemalans are sumgling arms! War is declared on Guatamlaa!
 * The CSA: The CSA completes its telegrap line from Guyamas (Sonora,) on the Pacific, to Wasington DC, Richmond, Charleston, Miami, Savvana, and New Orleans in the Gulf and and on the Atlantic. The railway is nearly 2/3 completed. The Pacifiic fleet in Guyamas can now recieve orders from Richmond instantly as well as news of whats going on in the east. The Foriegn Citizenship bill is passed by Congress which gives all peoples in purchased or conquered territories equal rights and citizenship with citizens born or naturalized in the Confederacy, almost all anti Confederate feelings vanish almost instantly. Prussia, Argentina, Mexico, France (considering the allince signed in the War for Southern Independance), Brazil, and the CSA all allies, form the Entente. The CSA offers Britian membership in the Entente.
 * Paraguay works on its seven-year plan. At the rate it is travelling, it may exceed expectations.
 * Russia continues its offensive on Ottoman terrtories making significant progress into Bulgaria as most of the population joins the Russians in the offensive seeing this as a chance to have an Orthodox faith as the main religion in the country again. Russia Black sea Fleet bombards Constantinople for 6 hours before withdrawing causing significant damage and causing a huge a large amount of people to question the strength of the Ottoman empire. Russia continues to build railroads in its terrtories and Alexander decrees that all occupied Russian terrtories are to be treated the same as Russian citizens. Russia continues to expand its navy and upgrade its army. The gold rush in Alaska coupled with the Russian-Alaskan railroad sees a huge increase in living in Russian Alaska thousands more Russians travel there searching for a better life.
 * Prussia, content with the Entente, begins to significantly build up its forces on the borders of Bavaria. Prussia also tacks on that the Alsace-Lorraine Free Zone would also become de-militarized, and that Prussians and the French could move freely between the two nations. Prussia begins to make full relations with the other members of the Entente, sending diplomats to Argentina and Mexico.
 * The Entente nations offers the Ottoman Empire membership in the Entente as well as Ethiopia.
 * Ethiopia: Yohannes IV begins to really push back Tekle Giyorgis II's forces thanks to international support of Yohannes IV by the British and Entente which Yohannes IV pledges alliange too.

 * Siam: Siam continues on infastructure and updates its navy and army, as several ports are turned into naval bases.
 * The United States accepts the Joint Alliance. They request that the name is changed from the Third World Alliance to the League of Nations, since America isn't a third-world country.

In the talk page, there is saying that baconton is the official mapmaker, and we should expect a map by 1870.from then on, will be a map every 5/10 turns.

Here is the Entente and its members as of 1869.6.

1. The CSA

2. France

3. Prussia

4. Mexico

5. Brazil

6. Argentina

7. Republic of the Yucatan

8. Ethiopi

1870.0

 * The CSA offers Japan, China, Chile, Paraguay, and Portugal membership in the Entente.
 * The CSA offers Peru and Colombia membersip in the Entente.


 * British and Sudanese troops push into Palestine and Jordan, taking Jerusalem by October and Maan by November. Strikes into Syria and the Levant begin. Meanwhile, the Suez Canal begins to be fortified and the navy is expanded. Gladstone authorizes the creation of several anti-labor bills in Parliament.
 * Siam voices some concern on the British attacks on the Ottoman Empire, and although won't officially condemn it, it still sees a huge threat on Britain's side. They continue to work on infastructure, and formally request that Japan, Korea and Siam should form an alliance, dubbed the Far East Pact.
 * Prussia, taking its chance, orders the attack on Bavaria, aiming for the capital city of Munich. It is predicted that Bavaria would fall within less than a year.
 * Realistically, by attacking Bavaria, you are putting yourself at war with Austria. Also, all those middle states between the two Prussias were Austrian allies. I'm surprised that the player for Austria has not responded. 
 * The only reason that I did so is because the person that is playing Austria has yet to do anything. Instead of constantly waiting in fear, I just gave the go ahead. 
 * I wish he did respond to this. Creating two German Confederations would be awesome
 * Yeah...Just serving my nation's interests. 
 * The CSA: The CSA offers Prussia, a fellow member of the Entente, military aid in Bavaria, not troops, but weapons. The Entente becomes dominated by Prussia, France, and the CSA with Brazil close behind. The Entente War Councilis formed, giving each member a vote on a unanimous declaration of war by the Entente as well as the Entente Trade Council, which will deal wit trade between the Entente nations.
 * Highly implausible. You would still be trying to recover from the war. Many of your cities were destroyed, etc. You are in no position to give anything, let alone military aid to other countries. Ammunition would be impossible at this time as well, considering you just fought a war.
 * China joins the Entrene and works on it's infanstructure and establishes a colony in modern day United Aried Emirates and Easter Island.
 * China colonizing at this point is implausible enough. It colonizing the UAE is just simply impossible.
 * Ethiopia: Yohannes IV defeats Tekle Giyorgis II, who is executed. Yohannes IV is declared nəgusä nägäst (emperor) of Ethiopia and sets to expand his borders to modern day Ethiopia's borders and stablize the nation's economy.

1870.6
Here is the Entente and its members as of 1870.6.

1. The CSA

2. France

3. Prussia

4. Mexico

5. Brazil

6. Argentina

7. Republic of the Yucatan

8. Ethiopia

9. China

10. Siam*

11. Peru*

12. Korea**

13. Japan**

* = By past agreements or military allinces

**= by extension (Both Korea and Japan are part of the Far East Pact, as is Siam, therefor including the Far East Pact in the Entente unless Siam withdraws itself from the Entente.

Note that when I say inferstructure help I mean across OTL Ethiopia & Djibouti, as this is all Ethiopia in this game
 * The CSA: The CSA calls for a meeting of the Entente members in Richmond, including the extended members wo are asked to officialy join the Entente or break there allince with Siam peacefully. The CSA railway is completed from coast to coast, and trade begins to expand greatly as does te Confederate economy.
 * The Prussian conquest of Bavaria continues, holding all but the capital city of Munich, which is under heavy siege. Austria surprisingly does not intervene. Prussia also sends its foreign minister, Otto von Bismarck, to Richmond to discuss the Entente.
 * Brazil declares war against Bolivia.its armies achieve to enter to Bolivian territory.
 * Peru attacks Bolivia without a declaration of war.It asks for Paraguay to take action.
 * Siam continues to develop its troops.
 * Paraguay makes secret deals with both Peru and Bolivia, to manipulate an annexation of the southern part of Bolivia. Paraguay openly declares war on Peru for intruding on its ally's territory, but in reality this is simply a tactic. Paraguay continues on its seven-year plan, unshaken by the "war."
 * Ethiopia: Yohannes IV sends an army to defeat the Somali Sultans in modern day Djibouti and takes it over, declaring it the main port of his Empire. With a new port he takes a Japanese cartered boat to go and attend the meeting in Richmond personally, he calls upon follow Entente members to help the creation of an Ethiopian railway going from his capital at Addis Abba to the port of Djibouti. He also asks for help to create a small navy, modernize his armies, and he tries to woo foreign investors to come and build factories in Ethiopia to make use of the cheeap labour.
 * Prussia openly declares support for Brazil's attack on Bolivia, and says to Ethiopia that it would provide railroad and infastructure for Djibouti if Ethiopia agrees to lease ports to Prussia there.
 * Ethiopia: They accept Prussian terms and leases them land to build a Prussian port opposit of Djibouti city (this is the main Ethiopian port) in Tadjourah. (See this link if you want geography help). Work begins on the Djibouti-Addis Abba railway with Prussian engineers, and factories are constructed mainly in the Djibouti region of the Ethiopian Empire.
 * The CSA: The CSA sends weapons to Brazil and Prussia to help inthere currnet wars due to the fact that they are part of the Entente as well as sending 25,000 troops, all it can spare at the time, to Prussia while encouraging France to help unite the German city states under the Prussian Banner in return for control of Alasce, while Lorean will remain a free zone.
 * Russia: Russian forces reach OTL Greek-Bulgarian border, and of Russian troops invade OTL Greece and after fierce fighting occupy it up to the Greek Ottoman border. Russia's black Sea fleet bombards Constantinople again killing thousands and damaging its defences, preparing it for an attack from Russia. Russia sends 50,000 troops to our OTL Azerbaijan to attack the Ottomans from more than one front thus spilitting its army. Russia continues to build railroads and telegraph lines are built throughout Russia’s territories. Russia agrees to the Joint alliance. Russia navy is expanded and a parliament is finally created to the delight of of Russia’s citizens elections will begin early next year
 * Not within 6 months. The Ottoman Empire isn't this weak in 1870, it would take MUCH more time to invade Constantinople notwithstanding the implausibility of Russia and Greece uniting. Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox are not the same thing, and the overall cultural difference between the two nations makes this post highly implausibe, unless Russia goes to war with Greece.
 * Ok iv edited my post but i had bombarded Constantinople in my last post weakening its defences. Its true that i had rapidly attacked the Ottoman empire but i think advancing all the way to Constantinople is plausible as i have been building railroads as iv advanced allowing troops to be redeployed extremly quickly. Also the map should have my borders up to OTL Bulgaria and now upto OTL Greece Turkey border.
 * Ottoman Empire: A line of trenches is dug on the border with Russia nad Greece as well as all other European nations that it has borders with. Constantineople is heavily refortified and the Army begins to be modernized as does the Navy. A delegate is sent to the Entente War and Trade Councils in Richmond.

1871.0

 * The CSA: The Confederate Armed froces continue to be upgraded and modernized with the latest trianing and weapons available, especaily the Confederate version of the Gatling Gun, called the Jeff Davis Repeater, or Repeating Rifle Artillery for the larger versions. The Confederate Budget soon has mnore money than debts for about 1 month before it falls back with the other nations of the world, although the Confederate dollar is stilll a very valuble currency.
 * Spain, having links to South America since colonization of the continent, offer a meditation between Bolivia and Peru to end the war while also setting up a embassy(s) in Cuba in order to help establish stronger relations in South America. In Spain, steel imported from independent German states begins to fall as other more reliable sources are found such as the United States Cranegie Steel Company (One may note that the Bessamer Processs, a cheaper way in making steel, was adopted by Carnegie sometime before or right after the formation of his company). In more recent events, King Amadeo I of Spain and son of the king of the now unified Italy Victor Emmanuel II of Italy offers a trading agreement between the two and he also speaks out to Europe, America, and Asia proposing the re-establishment of the Congress of Vienna.
 * Sorry, but Peru has been wanting to re-estabilish the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, already gave too much territory to its allies, and won't back down.
 * It's kind of a staged conflict between three South American countries to annex Bolivia. You'd best keep out of it.
 * After months of siege, the capital city of Munich falls to Prussian forces. Prussia negotiates with the King of Bavaria, and he is allowed to become the Prince of Bavaria, essentially allowing him into the Hohenzollern Royal Family. However, he is not allowed to have any power whatsoever. With the conquest of the largest southern German state, the rest of the small German states band together, unsure of what to do. Prussia declares that it will wait half a year to see if they do anything.
 * Siam invades Johore, and gets to Kuala Lumpur within six months, whereupon reaching, it launches a siege.
 * Paraguay continues aggressively on its seven-year plan. Gross enrollment rate for children under 15 has risen to 68%, an all-time high, and leading economists predict Paraguay will rival the European countries in technology by the end of the plan, and will rival North America in economy. However, a steep price is paid, with sacrifices in the military, civil rights, and in intellectual endeavours. Authors and artists are persecuted subtly by the government, but their small population is unable to constitute a rebellion. Paraguay orders ten thousand troops to "assist" Bolivia to prevent Peruvian annexation, but Paraguay secretly asks Peru that Peruvian troops not touch Paraguayan troops, in an elaborate staged war.
 * Russia: Russia bombards Constantinople with heavy artillery. Russia also lands some 20,000 troops at Samson with covering fire from the Black Sea fleet Samson is taken with 6 months. Russia's army in OTL Azerbaijan advances into Ottoman territory upto the city of Erzurum where Russian forces fight a pitched battle against Ottoman troops who with numerical superiority manage to inflict high enough losses on the Russians forces, forces them to retreat ten miles to retreat and bombard Ottoman forces from a distance causing heavy damage. Russia continues to advance railroads and telegraph lines throughout its empire. Russia continues to modernise and increase its navy.
 * The Ottoman Empire: The 1st Ottoman Army forces the Russians from Constantineople and soon marches into Russian Territory before being forced to a stalemate by the Russians at the Battle of Eight Days in OTL Romania. Trenches are dug opnce more on the Turkish borders in Europe after the Russians are forced from NorthernTurkey, and the Empire asks for help from the Entente and asks Russia for an armistice.
 * 'This is completely implausible. First of all at this time the Ottoman empire is a defunct power. Secondly Russia was not in Constantinople it was bombarding it with artillery how you could march the Ottoman 1st army through bombardment and against a SIGNIFICANTLY better equipped and trained force that also has supplies been delivered daily by train is implausible if not impossible. Thirdly iv destroyed you fleet the Russian fleet would bombard the Ottomans army as it advances causing heavy losses to its troops and morale before it even reached the Russian army. Fourthly and lastly the numerical difference between the Ottomans and the Russian is huge. Russia has a population of about 71 million while the Ottoman empires population is around 17 million. Russia introduced conscription a number of years ago giving it a huge army. Also forcing Russia back to Romania in 6 months in itself is implausible as it took me over 2 years to make these gains. Can a Mod please fix this?'
 * Ethiopia: Yohannes IV continues his policies of modernization and the Addis Abba - Djibouti railway is completed after help with Prussian engineers. Several new industrial towns are built along the route and the production of cheap goods in Ethiopia helps their economy to come on leaps and bounds. This new influx of money causes Yohannes IV to begin expanding further into OTL Somalia and Eritrea. The army & navy continue to be amped up too.
 * China: Improves the Econemy. ramps up the military, and sets up a colony in OTL Oman for trade in the Middle East. China also builds new cities in OTL Mongolia.
 * I don't think China would be able to do this due to a bad navy, plus why would it want to colonize Oman when they already own very unpopulated areas already like Mongolia, Tibet and Xinjiang? Remember its 1871

1871.6

 * The CSA: Baja California joins the CSA as the states of North and South Baja, giving the CSA 22 states, and CS settlers are sent to Hawaii so later they can overthorw the monarch and Hawaii can become the 23rd CS state.

Some land is claimed in Africa in South West Africa as well as Madagascar, not much, but some, and the two Confederate Colonies of Confederate South West Africa and Confederate Madagascar are created.

 * This is too much. You are in no capacity to do anything other than rebuild your country till about the 1880s, let alone mass produce weapons.
 * Ethiopia: Expansion into Somalia and Eritrea continues. Trade deals with Entente members continue to allow Ethiopia to modernize itself & her armed forces. The Ethiopian navy also begins to subdue the Yemani coast line creating a few little ports along the coast.

The construction of a German navy was ordered by the Kaiser of Prussia.
 * Paraguayan diplomats declare that in order to maintain the will of the current Bolivian people and government, Paraguay will have to annex the remnants of Bolivia. However, in order to prevent the seven-year plan from being compromised, Bolivia's sovereignty is not affected. The government is also kept intact, despite being checked by Paraguayan diplomats. A series of staged battles between Paraguay and Peru take place, and force the Bolivian border to recede.

 * Paraguay: Paraguay formally annexes Bolivia, and sends troops to Bolivian cities in order to protect them. Paraguay manages to take control of the Atacama coast, but is chased to Tocopilla. This is only conducted by a small number of diplomats, while meanwhile the rest of Paraguay is rapidly building an economy as part of Paraguay's Seven-Year Plan. As the railroad from Laguna to Tocopilla is nearly complete, Paraguay offers free access to the ports for Joseon, China, and Siam.


 * The CSA: The Marxist Rebbelion takes place in the Confederacy, and many blacks join the rebbelion in order to escape near poverty, and the CS armed forces is put on alert near the American and Mexican borders, but only Mexico is told the reason why, and this alarms the US government, and the CSA asks the Entente to sendnothing as of yet. Th Confederate state of Florida votes to leave the Confederacy and form the socialist Republic of Florida, but many f the northern counties remain loyal to the Confederate government. The Socialist Republic of Florida asks Spain for aid as well as the USA. The Confederacy recognizez Paraguays claim to Bolivia, and asks to dock 6 ironclad steam frigates. Its colonies in Africa begin to grow larger, and ironclad steam frigates are sent to these new colonies, 5 each are sent to the colonies


 * Siam: works on rebuilding Kuala Lumpur. They continue working on infastructure.

Otoman Empire: Accepts the Brtish offer of armistice and will formaly cede Egypt to the UK in return for peace and otsand will allow Britian to move troops freely through its territory and cede it part of Palestine in return for its declaraion of war on Russia, and if the two lose, the UK may have all of Libya.

The Anti-Peonage Bill is passed by Congress, ending the peonae system that caused the Marxist Rebbellion, as well as offering the USA membership in the Entente.


 * China revalue the Yuan, making it like the modern day U.S doller value introdues a new policy of for each child you have, you are rewarded 2,000 Yuan plus 500 for each child you already have. Population skyrockets in Tibet and Mongolia and China is forced to introduce new administative regions, giving people more freedom. China also annex East Afganistan in order to control more trade routes and to gain land on both sides of the Himalayas.

'''This whole post is impossible. China is not going to keep paying people to have kids, and invading East Afghanistan is simply interfering in Britain's goals. Plus isn't Tibet independent?'''

'''Yes, they can pay people to have kids in order to have a stronger military and China can interfere with Britans Goals and Britan would probley not interfere for the chances that Hong Kong may be invaded. Tibet is not free until 1912 in OTL.Ocelot9011 03:15, April 8, 2011 (UTC)'''

'''Eastern Afghanistan would not be annexed within six months, and they have literally nothing in common with China. Plus Afghanistan is effectively under British control at the moment, and putting the Yuan at US dollar value is implausible. Plus China could not support paying their huge population to keep having kids. '''

'''China doesn't even have close to enough money. Your democratic revolution just killed off the Qings which just killed off the Taipings. If there are 200,000,000 people in China who have a parent alive, that would cost a whopping 100 billion dollars of instant payout. Not only that, but how is China supposed to feed all those extra people'''

 * Ethiopia: The invasion of Eritera is complete and most of OTL Somalia is invaded too. Troops of the defeated Somali tribes are forced to work in the factories of Ethiopia as virtual slave workers, this reduces the cost of Ethiopian goods, and cheap Ethiopian goods slowly begin to fill up the world consumer markets.

Sorry I hadn't posted so long, I was on vacation


 * Austria-Hungary: Rumania is invaded, the green and ill lead Rumanian military is easialy crushed. A peace agreement is accepted and the southern half of the country is annexed to Austria-Hungary.

'''Romania is part of the Russian empire that means your invading Russia not Romania. Also in these 6 months Russia was moving an army 700,000 men through here wouldnt be a great time to attack it.'''

1872.6

 * Paraguayan officials in Bolivia remain unchecked as Paraguay focuses on its economy, leading to corrupt practices in Bolivia. Despite this, South America's first trans-continental railroad is completed, from Laguna to Tocopilla. Paraguay opens up Tocopilla to Asian powers, notably China, Japan, Siam, and Korea, and offers industrial goods to Asia in return for rice, minerals, rhubarb, and other goods.

1873.0
Paraguay: Paraguay continues intensively on their Seven-Year Plan. Paraguay opens up the port of Laguna to any European country that wishes to trade. In this way, Paraguay is able to compete with Britain (Egypt) as the hub between the East and the West.

Prussia: The railroad now extends out of Prussia proper, snaking its way towards the Rhineland and the Alsace-Lorraine Free Zone. Meanwhile, the small nation of Luxemborg is asked if they wish to join the German Empire. A referendum is set up for the middle of the year.

Siam: Opens trade in Paraguay, and decides to offer Brazil and Paraguay to join the Far East Pact. Hawaii becomes a signatory of the Pact, weary of the two American nations to the West, and becomes more inclined towards Asia. Siam scraps its eventual abolishment of slavery, and abolishes it this year, as the King of Siam watched. Siam quickly declares war on Brunei, and moves troops quickly from Malaya. The navy lands a few infantries to Brunei itself and lays siege to it. As usual the British presence to the west of the island is undisturbed.

'''Paraguay postpones the offer until the conclusion of the Seven-Year Plan in 1865. However, they welcome friendly trading and relations.'''

Brazil:some troops are mantained in the border with the rest of Bolivia and Peru.Meanwhile, they request Peru for a ceasefire with Bolivia.

Peru:denies the request, since the Brazilian presence on the war is necessary to make the war end quicker, recommending that it keep some troops in the border.Meanwhile, La Paz is taken over after months of siege.

Ethiopia: The campaign into southern Sudan slows down a bit with troops being re-directed to Yemen to help the creation Ethiopian trading posts & to speed up the colonization effort. The country continues to modernize itself & predicts to rival European powers within the decade, thanks to the influx of cheap Ethiopian goods, expansion, and modernization efforts. Yohannes IV while pleased with this expansion and modernization of his state noticed that a lot of his new subjects weren't Christian and began a campaign to convert all his subjects to Christianity. This created a fair bit of tension in the empire but this received considerable support from the fellow Christian nations in Europe and America. Many Christian missionaries now went over from Europe to Ethiopia to help in this conversion.

Russia: Russia takes the rest of the Ottoman Balkan’s under its control and begins moving its the remainder of its 500,000 army to the Austrian-Hungarian border along OTL Serbia Montenegro borders. Telegrams from the front line reach the Kremlin asking for reinforcements due to a possible war with Austria-Hungary. Russia mobilises its vast army and by the end of the year almost 2 million troops will be mobilised. Russia gives Austria Hungary an ultimatum to leave its lands in Romania or face the might of the Russian empire. Russia sends its Black Sea fleet to block the Adriatic to stop any supplies reaching Austria-Hungary by Sea. Russia continues economic reform setting up many new factories to build weapons for Russia’s massive army, agriculture is modernised throughout Russia within 3 years Russia agricultural system will be completely modernised. New officer and NCO colleges are opened in the newly conquered Ottoman lands to encourage equality throughout the empire, Orthodox priests travel throughout the Balkan’s trying to convert the Muslims living there to Christianity,

fRANCE:Extends the Prussian Railroads to Paris and Touluse and Marsailles.

Asks for an Alliance with Spain.

1873.6
Paraguay: Paraguay continues on its plan. Astounding revenues from the transcontinental railroad begin to grasp Paraguay's economy. More factories are constructed during this half-year than the rest of the years of the seven-year plan combined. Agricultural production has nearly tripled since the initiation of the plan, and Paraguay begins to model its agricultural sector around exportation of cassava. More technology is imported from Europe, China, and Siam.

Peru:the rest of Bolivia is taken.

Brazil: factories are built in the city of Santa Cruz da Serra (OTL Santa Cruz de la Sierra).

The CSA: Confederate citizens protest the USA occupying South Florida and send a petttion to congress to ask for its return from the USA. The 2 Confederate African colonies continue to grow. The CSA offers Spain 7 million dollars for Cuba and Pureta Rico,this can be negotiable.The CSA moves in and occupies the Republic of the Yucatan after it falls under the rule of a dictator to reestablish the Republic. An Entente meeting is called upon to happen in the Neutral Free Zone between Germany and France to discuss upgrading there arned forces with the latest weapons available as well as basing the entire Entente's armed forces on Germanys armed forces.

Ethiopia: Expansion into South Sudan continues slowly and several of the ports founded in Yemen start to contribute quite nicely to the Ethiopian economy. Ethiopia declares Yemen under its sphere of influence & begins to expand more into mainland yemen by creating the Ethiopian colony of Sheba. Otherwise the nation continues to grow economically and modernization efforts have nearly brought the nation up to speeds with American nations.

Prussia: A referendum is held, and Luxemborg overwhelmingly votes to join the Empire as a new province, with 75% of the votes. Prussia also happily agrees to host the Entente Summit in the Neutral Free Zone, and Prussia also condemns the conquest of the Ottoman Empire. However, Prussia asks Russia to join the Entente in a secret meeting, with promises to take what is left of the Ottoman Empire without issue if they join.

Russia: Russia forces continue to encircle Austria-Hungarian lands. Russian diplomats meet Prussia diplomats without informing Alexander or his Parliament and agree to join the Entente if Prussia helps them execute Alexander and dissolve the Parliament. This causes uproar as the secret meeting is found out by a loyal peasant, the diplomats are captured and executed by the Russia army. Russia continues to modernise its agricultural sector and builds more factories and has a 4 year plan to be the largest maker of steel in the world in four years. Russia officially declines Prussia's offer of joining the Entente due to the diplomat scandal and it been part of the Joint Alliance, but offers to link Russia's train link of with Prussia to connect all of Europe. Russia army is continued to be mobilised. Trenches are built on the Austria-Hungarian border and artillery is place in strategic positions to bombard key Austrian targets if war is declared.

Prussia: Prussia agrees to the railroad links, as the German National Railway is officially completed, stretching from Berlin to the Rhineland, and then to Paris and then to Marsailles, officially opening German goods to the rest of the world via the Mediterranean. Work begins to extend the railroad to St. Petersburg.

Siam: continues working on economy and trade, and finally annexes Brunei. The Siamese set their sights on the rest of unoccupied Borneo and move troops into the areas, claiming them for Siam.

1874.0

 * Paraguay: Paraguay continues on its seven-year plan. Due to the large amount of trade and communication, modern European machinery continues to diffuse into Paraguayan society. The effeciency of this new technology increases the revenue from factories. Paraguay's prosperity attracts tens of thousands of immigrants from all parts of the world, leading to a larger workforce and the creation of a cosmopolitan city in Asunción. Altogether, these factors make the seven-year plan far more prosperous than expected. Bolivia also gains a large amount of revenue from towns along the trans-continental railroad. However, Bolivian officials complain too much focus is on Paraguay and not enough on Bolivia.


 * Siam: Siam starts enlarging their railway system into Northern Burma, and into Johore, connecting Kuala Lumpur with the rest of the Empire. Work is hoped to be finished on the project, dubbed the Southeast Asia Railway, by 1878. Siamese colonials move into Borneo quickly, launching raids on any hostile tribes. The British presence is left untouched, but Siam wants to buy it from Britain for a 6 million dollar fee, in a deal involving British Borneo and British Burma.

 * Brazil:The territories conquered by Bolivia are divided in two states.Meanwhile, Brazil's economy grows.


 * The CSA: Isolation continues, except with the Entente.

 * Ethiopia: The Ethiopian Navy land on the island of Socotra and declare war on the local ruling Mahra sultans. The small island nation valiantly holds out for a while but quickly falls to the superior Ethiopian weaponry. Emperor Yohannes IV sends out christian missionries to the new yemen colonies and to Socotra to convert the native muslim populations. Ethiopia continues to modernize and expand basically.
 * Russia: With the new railroad linking Prussia and Russia. Russia now has a railroad line that travels directly from America all the way to France, which has greatly increased Russia potential markets. Russia predicts a large increase in its exports. Russia's 4 year plan to become the largest steel manufacturer continues as does its 3 year agricultural plan. Reconstruction efforts have begun in Constantinople and the Patriarch moves his residence there. Just as mobilisation of the Russia army is completed Russia receives a telegram from the Grand Duchy of Finland requesting aid as the United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway have sent an army of 20,000 troops to claim Finland as their own seeing as Russia is occupied in the Balkans. Russia sends 400,000 troops of its 2 million strong newly mobilised army to reinforce Finland and possibly push into Swedish territory. Russia sends the rest of its army to encircle Austrian-Hungary. Russia continues to expand its navy and modernise its troops.
 * France:The Railtoad is worked on Fortifications built along tohe Brtish Channel.
 * Fernch Mexicao:Forts Buillt and Rewbedl Activity.

1874.6
Ethiopia: Ethiopia plans to take over all of Yemen and to help realise this they offer to buy the British port of Aden from the British. Part of this deal includes the use of Ethiopian ports to refuel British ships. They also reach an agreement with Britain to decide upon their nation's borders in far north Yemen/south Hejaz. Ethiopian conversion of non-christians continues but a new sect of Ethiopian Christians begins to form which takes believes in the continual sending of prophets to earth to spread god's word. This relgion draws to together all of the main ideas of the Abrahamic religions and brings them together focusing on the peaceful aspects of each of the respectful Abrahamic religions. This new religion is refered to as Abrahamism as it combines all of the the currently fueding Abrahamic religions which fundamentally all believe in the same God anyway and teachs people not to fight over their own interpretation of God. Otherwise Ethiopia continues to modernize.

Brazil:amps up its navy.

Peru:Peru's economy grows.

The CSA: Immigration to Africa is encouraged by the government. The 2 Africa colonies continue to grow.

Russia steel and agricultural plans continue on schedule while Russia begins to improve the industralise the balkans and improve its economy. Russia allocates a 50% of its overall miltary budget on the navy for the next 6 years as it wishes to have the largest and most modern navy.

Paraguay: Paraguay continues on its Seven-Year Plan. To the surprise of the Paraguayan people, President Rivarola declares that the Seven-Year Plan has exceeded expectations in economic growth, over one year before it was expected to end. However, Paraguay continues implementing its plans, hoping to be able to rival European powers economically by 1876. In addition, the Seven-Year Plan is implemented in Bolivia, in order to bring Bolivia to the level of the rest of Paraguay. However, Paraguay is unwilling to give up resources for the time being, leading to Bolivia remaining as mostly a railroad and agriculture-based economy.

France;Asks Spaoin tho extend the Siberia-Marsailles Railway to Madrid, Barcelona, and then to about Cadiz and Gibralter.

Finishs the War against Guatamala! Guatamala is annexed!

1875

 * Brazil:amps up its military.


 * Peru:starts to build factories in La Paz.
 * Siam:Continues its projects.(I am not Siam but I just wanted to put a placeholder here to say what they are doing!)
 * Ethiopia: After the recent border agreement with Britain in Hejaz they also reached a similar agreement with the British in Sudan, in which would be a largely stright border following the 16th paralel north. The new religion of Abrahamism spreads throughout the empire and helps to end most religious hostilities in the empire. The Emperor evens converts and this peaceful relgion helps the empire to expand. The country continues to amp up and expand in Yemen, Sudan and now North Kenya. The rail network in Ethiopia is subsquently expanded to allow quicker transport of goods throughout the empire with more industrial towns being founded across the railway. More Ethiopian owned factories begin to open to as foreign business men begin to be bought out by Ethiopian companies and more are founded. This is mostly because of rumours (some being true though) about the way the white factory owners treat the black workers. Some white owned businesses are even consificated but all the factories owned by white or black people are quite badly run in reality. A large agricultural project also begins to help feed the growing population.
 * The CSA: Confederate South West Africa reaches British South Africa, even though the colony is still thin. The CSA offers France 4.7 million dollars for Guatemala, which it plans to add to its list of colonial possessions, or if it wants, statehood. Confederate Madagascar continues to grow, slowly picking up pace due to the vast forests on the island. CS settlers in Hawaii are given ammo and weapons, and seven Confederate warships dock in Oahu to await orders from Richmond to overthow the Monarch if it does not agree to the Confederate offer of statehood, which was offered last turn. (I forgot to mention). 17,000 Confederate settlers reside on the islands.( If it isnt plausable, tell me and I will change it).
 * Russia continues to gain ground against the United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway taking mostt of the upper half of the Kingdom as it is so sparsely populated. Swedish and Nordic forces harry Russian forces as they gain ground Russian forces advances 20 miles from the city of Galve and prepare's for a siege. Russia continues its agricultural and steel plan. Russia continues to build factories throughout the Balkans creating jobs for many of its new citzens and raising their quality of life drastically. Russia's naval plan is continued new more powerful weapons are designed for ships and a complete overhaul of the imperial navy is underway. Railroads and telegraphs are continued to be built throughout Russian territory. Russia now has the most extensive railway system in the world.
 * Prussia: Prussia, realizing that it easily had control over the newly name Trans-Eurasian Railroad, agrees to the extension to Madrid, and then to Gibralatar. The links are ordered to be built, and links are made with the railroads across Siberia. Prussia then invades Schleswig-Holstein after no response from Denmark, and asks if perhaps the Entente would be able to conjoin with the Joint Alliance, to create a juggernaut of power in the world.
 * Paraguay decides it will finish off the Seven-Year Plan as strongly as it began. Political matters are put aside while the main focus of the government other than economics has become propaganda. Paraguay by this time is classified as very industrialized, but difficulties arise in relations with the natives. During the plan, several thousand natives were employed in factories, but by 1875, it had begun to cause tension. However, Paraguay nevertheless is able to become one of South America's main engines.
 * The US offers a large sum of money for Russian Alaska.
 * Russia declines as too much money has been invested in Alaska and too many Russians now live in Alaska

1875.6

 * The CSA: Hawaii agrees to join the CSA in return for all of its people gaining equal rights, avoiding a bloody overthrow of the monarch, it becomes the Confederate Hawaii Territory. The African colonies continue to grow. The CSA offers Russia any amount it wants of money for Russia within reason, and the promise that all of its citizens there will be given equal right with CS citizens and that Russia will be allowed to keep a naval base in the Aleutians and on Sewards Island. The CSA offers Mexico 6 million dollars, 2,000 tons of wheat, and 20,000 tons of corn in return for Guatemala..
 * Brazil:offer two battleships to Paraguay for some territory in the interior of the former state of Rio Grande do Sul.(no territory with access to the Iguazu River.)
 * Peru:starts to amp up its military.
 * Ethiopia: The Agricultural project expands greatly and it is expected that Ethiopia could become self-sufficient in food if it was to take over South Sudan and make use of the vertile land in the Nile basin. The country continues to amp up and expand in Yemen, Sudan and North Kenya and takes over Khartoum from the local Sudanise rulers. This gives Ethiopia a further trade route up the Nile, and a rail line from Addis Abba to Khartoum is constructed.
 * Russia declines the CSA's offer as they have stated to the USA too much time and money has been put into Alaska and the minerals in Alaska are too important to give up. Russia quickly takes city of Gavle finding it deserted of troops and advance 50 miles outside of the capital Stockholm and meet the combined army of Norway and Sweden. Russia fights a bloody battle against the Nords and Swedes until a Russian cavalry charge flanks them and routs their army. Russia advance quickly and by the end of the year are in control of Stockholm. Russia continues its agricultural and steel plans. Factories are continued to be built throughout the Balkans creating an economic powerhouse there. The Russian navy is continued to be modernised and upgraded, 6 new ships are created in the pacific and in the Balkans. Russia new ships are larger and have thicker armour and stronger weapons than previous ironclads. Russia begins trying to implement steam turbines into their navy to increase the speed of their ships. Russian engineers are sent to Russian Sweden and Norway to begin building railroads and Telegraph poles throughout the new province of their empire.
 * Prussia asks about fusion between Joint Alliance and Entente. Wishing answer. 
 * Russia is against the fusion as it would mean that there are no enemies except for Britain who i think has left the game anyway. Russia offers a joint European partnership with Prussia seperate from Entente and the Joint Alliance. 
 * Ethiopia would be willing to comit to a greater alliance with their Prussian "sugar daddy" as thanks for all the help. They'd just like to see which nations would be included in this big old alliance


 * Paraguay: Paraguay concludes its seven-year plan, and marks the completion with a series of celebrations during Christmas. During the seven years, Paraguay was able to become a world economic power, controlling much trade between Europe and the East. Most of the population is literate, and business skills are commonly known. However, a price has been paid. Only the celebrations managed to quell protests among Guaranís who believed to be unfairly exploited by Spanish landowners and etrepreneurs. Also, Cirilo Antonio Rivarola's popularity was at an all-time low, and in order to combat this he made himself a public icon to create a cult of personality.
 * Prussia: The construction of the Imperial German Naval Fleet is completed, and several ships are sent to the leased port in Ethiopia, flaunting their pride to their fellow Ethiopians. While the ships are there, the Kaiser of Germany personally congratulates the Ethiopians on their great expansion. Meanwhile, the Kaiser also gives Germany a deadline in 1880 to have industry massively pumped up to feed the German economy, which grows even more by the Trans-Eurasian Railroad.

The country is now back to a relevative high strengh, however it is massivly in debt. In order to pay off their debt they offer to sell their territories in OTL Libya & Tunisia; the price of the land is set as a minimum so they can pay off their debt. The land is offered to the powerful world nations including Spain, Britain, France, Italy, USA, CSA, Austria-Hungary, and Prussia; as these are the only countries able to afford the minimum price for the territory. However the Ottomans are willing to sell the lands to other nations if the richer nations don't show an interest. Otherwise the Ottoman Empire try to amp themselves up.
 * Prussia is willing to buy this land from the Ottoman Empire. 
 * As is Spain,
 * Sorry I forgot that Prussia & Russia are allies, so I'm going to have to retract the offer to Prussia sorry. Also I remembered Britain took a lot of land from the Ottomans so this offer to Britain is also retracted. Spain your currently in pole position to get Libya! If France, Italy, USA, CSA or Austria-Hungary want to buy Libya you might have to add some extras to distinguish your offer from Spain's...
 * Actually screw it, Spain gets Libya!


 * In Spain, a new fruit monoply in Spain begins to grow in power and wealth resulting in the company Pizzaro Fruit Company (named in honor of Francisco Pizzaro). The company begins to request from any South/Middle American and Asian that fruit/rice/etc plantations be set up there in exchange for some of profits gained. In Cuba, competition begins between the tourist companies loacted across the island though some are purchased Pizzaro F.C.

The Ethiopian Navy also sets out exploring the east African coast, making contact with the sultans of Zanzibar. Zanzibar is annexed after a short war and serves as a base as Ethiopia expands southwards.
 * Prussia: Prussia's economy continues to boom, and the German Naval Fleet sends some ships to begin grabbing some land in Africa. German ships arrive in the Kongo region. Also, the capital city of Berlin begins to grow, attracting citizens from all across the nation.

 * Spain itself refuses, tourism and plantations on the island ensure this, not to mention Pizzaro F.C. influence over Cuba.
 * Russia: With Sweden firmly under Russian control the Russian army advances towards Norway. Russian troops prepare for a siege of Oslo. Russia steel and agricultural plans continue. Factories are continued to be built throughout the Balkans and the Balkans infrastructure is upgraded significantly. Russian scientist Stefan Drzewiecki has developed several new models of propeller-driven submarines that has helped submarines to evolve from single-person vessels to a four-man one. As part of the large expenditure of the navy Russia priority is now keen on developing a viable combat submarine and offers large rewards for any scientists that can help them. John Phillip Holland hearing this travels to Russia with plans for a submarine. His plans to have submarines travel for great distances astounds the government who give him whatever resources he needs to develop working military submarine within 5 years. Russia navy is expanded and all new Russian ships are to be built with uniform weapon batteries making them far more effective than their rivals. Steam turbines are continued to be implemented throughout the navy. Railroads and telegraph lines are continued to built throughout Sweden and Russian controlled Norway.USCiv 1876Colour.png
 * Spain: The Spanish millitary prepares to invade Moracco, although heavy losses are expected.
 * The CSA: Hawaii becomes a CS state, and it people are given citizenship. Another colony is esablished in Africa in the gulf area. It is named Confederate West Africa. Its other colonies continue to expand to the east and the north. A colony is established in eastern Insdonesia, and it slowly begins to grow. naval bases are established in both of these colonies.

 * Paraguay, in order to formally declare its presence as a world power, claims two specific areas, each precisely 1/3 around the world from Tocopilla. Rivarola selects the Marshall Islands and Île Sainte-Marie (and parts of northern Madagascar) to be Paraguay's first colonies. The Marshall Islands are meant to give Paraguay a grip on the guano trade, while northern Madagascar is meant to make up for Paraguay's lack of lumber. Paraguay also decides that it will choose for an alliance with the union or confederacy by 1885, and takes any economic or technological offers which either side might give.
 * Brazil's economy grows.
 * Peru's economy continues to grow.
 * The Ottoman Empire begin to create a railway going from Basra, Iraq all the way to Samandağ, Turkey. This new railway was designed to rival the Suez canal and make journey times from the Mediterian to the Gulf much quicker. This service however had a big problem that a new ship would have to be chartered to travel again from Basra, however this new method would prove usuful with Perisan traders as they could get to Europe easier and it made travel across the Ottoman Empire easier. However as long as it made more money than it cost to build, the Ottoman rulers didn't care. This was just one part of the large effort to modernize the Ottoman Empire and this was nothing compared to the large scale efforts to amp up the army and navy.
 * Ethiopia: Ethiopia continues to expand now at an even quicker rate, thanks to the expansion of the Ethiopian rail system. Ethiopia invades Buganda and assumes control of OTL Uganda and OTL Kenya too. Otherwise expansion into Sudan and Tanazina continue. Also Emperor Yohannes IV brings in reforms concerning governance of the land and splits Ethiopia into several Imperial districts, and the creation of border line territory, where Ethiopia has recently expanded into and martial law is in effect. The border line territories of North Sudan, South Sudan, South Lake Buganda (OTL Lake Victoria), Tanazina, Oman, and Arabia are declared. The colony of Sheba is upgraded into the Imperial district of Sheba after the land is declared fully under Ethiopian control.
 * Siamese architects begin construction of a new city in Vietnam, as a tribute to the ancient kingdom of Champa, called Paduranga. Siamese colonists declare war on the Dutch, sending troops over to the Dutch East Indies, easily capturing Bali, and moving into Dutch Borneo. Siamese troops, benefitting from being Asian, recieve support from natives, and within six months, Dutch Borneo is annexed by Siam. Troops land in Sumatra from the north and establish a beachhead in Aceh, while plans for the attack of Jakarta are established. Siamese settlers are sent to Sulawesi, colonizing the island. Siam continues to prosper from trade with the tax exempt city of Sarigon becoming a hotspot for Chinese, Japanese and Korean traders, with Hawaiians also being prominent. Siam also requests that the CSA backs off from Hawaii, citing the CSA's policy on slavery. Several Hawaiians immigrate to Siam, after the annexation of their country, and a "Little Hawaii" is formed in Kuala Lumpur. Siam also requests an alliance with Russia, to make it join the Far East Pact.
 * Slavery has already been abolished in the CSA, but I will allow Siam t dock warships in Pearl Harbor free of charge. By the way, Im back from my conference, thanks for waiting. Besides, Hawaii was take peacefully, and s now a Confedrate State.
 * Why? If slavery is abolished, the existence of the CSA is gone.
 * Actually I myself was gone for a school trip to New York City.
 * That couldn't be further from the truth. Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee actually expected slavery to naturally fade away. The CSA did not rebel just because of slavery, though slavery is a cause of secession. The CSA was a mainly agrarian place, however, and slavery just wouldn't be faded away so quickly. In time, yes the CSA should stop slavery. For now, however, they should just discourage slavery until it becomes impractical.
 * The CSA: Its colonies continue to grow and expand as ironclad seam frigates continue to be sent there as protection and the colonists feel more comfortable. The flag is changed back to the Stars N Bars. The Confederate Armed Forces are remodernized as the machine gun continues to near completion.
 * The USA gives the CSA back Florida. Meanwhile, it tries improving relations with the CSA.
 * France:Sends more troops to Switzerland!
 * Condems Russia!
 * Who are you?
 * Russian troops after 6 weeks of fighting finally have firm control over the rest of Norway. Russia immediately gives citizenship to all the people within Norway and Sweden. Russia begin building their main naval base for the Atlantic in Bergen. Factories are continued to be built throughout the Balkans and Norway and Sweden are planned to become a huge manufacturing centre for the Russian Atlantic fleet creating the parts for it. John Phillip Holland continues on his submarine plans. Russia sends 3 old Ironclads to central Madagascar filled with weapons and ammunition to help the kingdom of Madagascar fight its war against the CSA and Paraguay all Russia wants is the use of its Ports. Prime Minister Rainilaiarivony of Madagascar accepts and Russia also sends Russian officers to train Madagascar’s troops. Russia continues building railway lines and telegraph poles throughout Sweden and Norway. Huge fortifications outside Constantinople are built in case of any Ottoman counter-attacks. Russia agrees to Siam’s offer.
 * Russia is not declaring war on the CSA they are arming the government of Madagascar and training their army in return for the privledge of docking and resupplying on their island. Russia also accepts Spain's alliance offer.
 * Prussia continues to prosper, and, eventually, Germany orders the invasion of Denmark. It is expected to take a year or two to fully subdue. Meanwhile, factories spread all over the German Empire, with the nation rapidly industrializing. Also, the German colony in the Kongo expands eastward along the Congo River Basin.
 * Siam is happy to have Russia and Prussia in the new League of Emperors, and while it cannot help in Russia's just war against the CS, due to the conflict with the Dutch, they state they will help in any future conflicts.
 * Spain offers Russia an alliance against the Confederate States, its ironclad navy prepared along with its army. Meanwhile, Pizzaro F.C. sends money to Spain to help its millitary expand along with factory construction.
 * Siam offered Spain 12 000 000 dollars for Phillipines, and extends Spain membership to the League of Emperors should Russia ally with them.
 * At the moment this is being considered by the king of Spain, be prepared for whatever his majestys decision will be.

1877

 * France;Colonys expand. France sends a regiment to help the Germans. France asks when the Prusso-Danish war is over if it can have the Danish Nicobar Islands.
 * Ethiopia: Ethiopia and the Ottoman Empire sign an agreement and divide unclaimed Arabia between them. Ethiopian troops start a large campaign and defeat many Arabian warlords and look certain to take most of the region within a year or two. With victory in Arabia looking certain, Abrahamic priests go to the various conquered towns and villages converting the populace to Abrahamism, (which is now the largest and offical relgion of Ethiopia); to try and stop any post-invasion uprisings. The Sudan campaign ends after conquering all of the Sudan, and establishing relations with Darfur kingdom, making it a protectorate of Ethiopia. This happens because expansion into Arabia and Tanazina is seen to be more important. Ethiopian Emperor Yohannes IV also gives the thumbs up, to the idea of a league of Emperors (mostly because it was his idea); and he sets up measures to get this league to start offically and to help each of the member's respected nations to co-operate and grow.
 * Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman's and Ethiopians sign the treaty of Basra in order to divide unruled Arabia between the two nations. They set up their own spheres of influence in the area and quickly invade the territories given to them by the treaty before Britain asks for a bigger piece of Arabia. The Ottoman Empire army and navy continues to amp up, and they ask for admision into the league of Emperor's and they ask for Russia to return east Constantinople and have the Bosphorus as their international border. Note that this a polite request, which Russia is free to object, rather than an ultimatum.
 * Switzerland;The Civil WAR continues!
 * Brazil:amps up its navy.
 * Siam: Siam continues their invasion of the Dutch East Indies, and is able to capture Sumatra, prompting the Dutch to quickly surrender, as reinforcements cannot get there quickly enough, establishing a Siamese power base in Southeast Asia, and giving the lands to Siam, as the Emperor eyes the British lands to the South and the North. The island of New Guinea is quickly settled, barring the British area, and several Hawaiian immigrants settle there, along with a small Dutch and Native community, after the area is designated a free trade zone for the international community.
 * Paraguay enters a period of stable growth. They continue to send colonists to the Marshall Islands and Madagascar, and plan to continue over the next few years.  Large forts are established in two locations during the year: one on the Aúr Atoll (Aur Atoll), and another in the centre of the island of Santa María (Île Ste-Marie), where many settlers are sent, mostly of Spanish descent.  Small docks are built, and Paraguay hopes these two colonies will eventually become large centres of trade with the rest of the world.
