The Global War Reboot (Map Game)

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

This is the second game in the Global War Franchise, which is created, owned and operated by Vatonica. The first game was really good but had the following issues. First, people were a bit too implausible. Second, There was a mega-alliance which seemed unstoppable. Third, I left in the middle of the game, which caused issues. I will:

1. crack down on implausibility,

2. break up mega-alliances,

3. plan the game to be at a time where I'll have internet access.

Wrto12- Banned for being a jerk on Ashes of Rome, ranting, implausibility. Banned until further notice (I did this to make sure the shitstorm that happened on Ashes of Rome wouldn't happen here)

I, Vatonica, am removing this until further notice. Wrto hasn't done anything wrong in this game. He's on "probation", but until he does something of issue, he is going to play. Vatonica (talk) 16:06, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

1912.0
THE GAME HAS BEGUN.

'''Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary have formed the Triple Alliance. France, Britain and Russia made the Triple Entente. '''

The Agadir Crisis had caused tensions to rise between Germany and the Triple Entente.

Sun Yat-Sen is elected provisional leader of China.

Italy and Ottoman Empire are at war over Libya.

Roald Amundsen has reached the South Pole and Hiram Bingham has rediscovered Machu Picchu.

Thailand: Thailand builds up its military and improves infrastructure. New ports also begin construction. Monarch Vajiravudh begins plans of reforms for the nation.

Germany: The Kaiser is in control of Germany. We improve our military and infrastructure. Germany remains upset about the Agadir Crisis, and prepares for war, especially by building U-boats. '''We ask Spain for an alliance, hoping that Spain, Italy, and Germany can defeat France in case of war. '''This offer also comes because of the Kaiser's desire to be able to have the Triple Alliance (which may become the Quadruple Alliance) monitor and regulate the Strait of Gibraltar in revenge for the Agadir Crisis. (Mil/Inf) UK: Positions forces in Portugal to deter any threat of aggression, and we ask if Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, the US, Norway, Brazil, Argentina and Denmark would want to join the Entente. (mil/inf)
 *  (mod) Spain refuses, asking to remain neutral in the conflict 
 * Someone is playing as Spain, so let them choose for themselves.
 * Sorry, I didn't know.
 * [MOD RESPONSE, RNG]: Norway accepts, and becomes allied with the UK.
 * Netherlands: We accept the offer for a place in the Entente.
 * Spain: We request that the UK withdraws it's troops from Portugal in exchange for Spanish neutrality in the coming conflict

Denmark: Denmark stays neutral in the war as they start to focus on the 1912 Summer Olympics which is going to be held in Sweden. (Infra/Econ)

Ottoman Empire: We would like to calm down the tension with Italy sending them an invite to talk about a ceasefire in the city of Baghdad (our capital). We also like to open up an arms trading event. All nations can come to trade weaponry with each other. We also want to sell oil to Germany, Russia, China, and Japan.
 * Germany agrees to oil for weapons.
 * Japan also agrees to this.
 * Russia asks the Ottoman Empire to strengthen the relationships between the relationship between the two countries as we currently have bad relationships with each other,we also ask the Ottomans to trade us food at exchange for oil(to stock up for the war).

Italy: We continue our war with the Ottoman Empire and refuse to negotiate a ceasefire, demanding they give us Libya. We improve our military and economy. We support Germany in the Agadir Crisis, and we warn France that if they declare war on Germany, the Italians will quickly support the Germans. '''We ask Greece for an alliance in response to Spain refusing to join the Central Powers (RNG needed). '''
 * Spain hasn't decided yet.
 * [MOD RESPONSE, RNG]: Greece agrees to an alliance with the Central Powers.

Mexico: Mexico is not involved in the conflict, but continues to be in the Mexican Revolution conflict. The revolutionaries know that the government continues to grow its military power, so they block the main train lines and highways in search for any government provisions. As the Mexican government sees the war going on in Europe, and fears a possible invasion, it decides to invite the revolutionaries to a debate, to try to stop the internal conflict and have a united country.

Netherlands: We improve our naval and military defense in case of an invasion in Mainland Netherlands and our colonies. We also initiate voluntary programs for the military such as conscription in The Dutch East Indies for defense reasons. We also improve infrastructure in The Netherlands and in rural areas of our colonies. (Mil/inf).

Russia:Tsar Nicholas II is secretly killed by left-wing group,who wants to depose monarchy,through this is presented in public by the government like he died of natural causes/heart attack. Alexei Nikolaevich son of Tsar Nicholas II being the legitimate heir at an age of 8 years old is crowned emperor of Russia. The new Emperor even through he is smart for his age is not able to rule the Russian Empire on his own and its agreed that he needs a regent,his uncle Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich is chosen as his regent. Minimum wage is set and increased by the regent in order increase public support for the government and in order for the citizens of the Russian Empire to be able to buy the basic necessities and have a little surplus. Working conditions are improved after a law has been passed for their improvement. The government also tries to increase the standards of living for Russian farmers by reducing their taxes,ordering the army to help the build good houses,in order not to die from bad weather, better tech is acquired from other western countries and is distributed between the farmers. Also people are encouraged by mass propaganda to settle south as southern areas are sparsely populated. Big plantations are established in Turkestan around the lakes of Aral Sea,Lake Balkhash and many other lakes in the area,attracting hundreds of thousands of migrants in the Area. The government also improves infrastructure in Turkestan in order to increase the flow of migration towards that area. Also there is a rising fish industry in Turkestan.Plantations are also founded in Astrakhan having less success but still attracting several people. '''We try to improve agricultural output to feed more people. We also improve education/build more schools. '''We also heavily favour the Swedish people in Finland by giving the state positions,no taxes,selling them the real estate for nothing,banning the Finnish language,teaching only the Swedish language in schools,trying to make the Swedes our allies. We secretly and peacefully transport 65% of the Finnish people from Finland to Turkestan and Astrakhan,in order to make the Swedes a majority in Finland. We sponsor a huge propaganda in Sweden which encourages Swedish people to settle in Finland and enjoy a super rich life full of privileges and we also try to improve our public opinion in Sweden in favour of Russian Empire. That makes Finland's population 51% Swedish and 49% Finnish. Mass nationalistic propaganda happens across the empire in order to increase the public support for the government and the Emperor/Regent. We secretly start funding mainly Bulgaria but also Serbia and Greece trying to equip them their armies properly in the upcoming Balkan War that signs of it are been seen in the horizon. Muslims (around 15 mil pop) on Russian's empire's lands are transferred in Persia, as agreed in population exchange agreement with Persia. '''We try to influence Bulgaria by infiltrating their government and public propaganda changing their public opinion in favour of Russian Empire (Turn One of Six). We ask Romania and the Ottoman Empire to join the Entente. We also secretly ask Sweden to join the Entente promising to give them Finland. (RNG needed)(Tec/infra)'''
 * [MOD RESPONSE, RNG]: Sweden Declines.
 * ​[MOD RESPONSE, RNG]: Romania Accepts.
 * You and the Ottoman Empire probably won't ally because you have territorial tensions in the Caucasus.
 * Also, there is tension between us in the Balkans.

'''America: We offer an organisation to all the nations in the Americas except from Canada (being allied with Britain), this organisation will be called the American Union. We promise all them countries aid to combat poverty, revolts and bribes. We also promise all them countries stability to remain a nation for hundreds of years. In return all the nations in the union must be democratic. All nations in the American Union must remain neutral in all wars in Europe. However, if an European nation invades one of the members then all of the American Union would have to declare war on that nation. The capital city of the union is New York. '''We remain neutral in any conflicts and refuse to join the Entente or the Triple Alliance. We are still in the stage of progression. We still make sure we have control over the Philippines, saying that they're very important gate to the world of East Asia. '''We begin building high speed rail links to connect the country with. The first lines are from New York to Los Angeles and St Louis to Chicago. We would like to build more high speed rail links across America and the American Union. '''(Infra/Eco) China: We try to eliminate any political opposition. We also try to prevent warlordism. To stop Japanese influence from spreading into China, '''we militarise our borders with Japanese Korea. We try to improve agricultural output to feed more people. WE WANT TO MAKE AN ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA, SINCE BOTH OF US WANT TO CONTAIN JAPANESE INFLUENCE.''' Persia: We declare we are neutral to the current issue and tensions happening in Asia and Europe. We praise the efforts of USA in their neutrality and hope that good relations will be built up between the US and the great Persia! Our nations problems have increased. Ahmad shah qajar, our king, has gone isolated in his palace with his royal guards. An assassination by nationalists was attempted several weeks ago. Though some say it is Mostowfi ol-Mamalek, our new and popular prime minister, who attempted this, many people do not believe the rumour and continue to support him. Our prime minister declares on our Iranian international stage that he does not approve British and Russian claims over our glorious nation (The Anglo-Russian Entente), thereby stating that we will be autonomous from Western colonisers. We also wish that the disputed borders between the Ottomans (Lorestan and Armenian state), the Russians (Khorasan and Azerbaijan), and the British (Baluchistan state). We build up our economy by industrialising and opening trades to all countries. We are westernising our country and military, with the purchase of modern warfare ammunition and rifles. States of new laws are set up, including better hygiene/sanitation. We hope to move towards a more democratic socialist state and hopefully have better human rights. Though not all of our Muslim brothers agree, we are trying our best by spreading propaganda. Finally, we ask alliances/peace with neighbouring Muslim countries and also ask China if they would like to have an alliance. Switzerland: We urge all nations to exercise restraint and solve issues diplomatically. We continue developing our economy and banking industry, while also ask all nations to continue to uphold the Swiss Armed Neutrality.
 * Mod Response for every nation in the Americas except from Mexico, Argentina and Brazil and Panama: We accept.
 * Brazil, Argentina and Mexico have players, so let them choose for themselves.
 * Ohh, no! Did you notice the word EXCEPT.
 * I did, but that made it look like those countries refused.
 * Russia accepts China's alliance offer and asks them to join the Entente.
 * China: Although an alliance with Persia, a small, weak country far away from China, is pretty much useless, we accept the alliance.
 * Russia: proposes Persia an offer,they will renounce their claims in Turkestan and stop any relationship they have with Muslim pop in Russia(support,funding,ties and stuff) and in exchange we will renounce our claims in Persia, but keep our influence zone on northern Persia,in exchange for them joining the Entente.
 * Persia: We would first like to state that we have lost hope and respect for the arrogant Chinese government, previously thinking that the new government that overpowered the monarchy would be full of hope and flourish with western ideologies. However, Persia has seen China wrong. China has still maintained an arrogant pose to the world despite their internal failures of warlords and corruption. Despite this, China's business is not Persia's and we will not care more than the alliance agreed to earlier. For Russia, we consider Russia's offer since we are not fond of them influencing any part of our glorious nation. Despite this, we do agree to the rest of the terms. We also declare that we have not spread Muslim propaganda to any other nation, and only in our own borders.
 * Russia: If Persia agrees to a pop. exchange they take all our Muslims (15 mil pop.) and join the Entente and we give them good tech and give up the northern Persian zone of influence (also renounce claims on each other's lands). We also secretly ask them to help us on the upcoming Balkan war against Turkey and they will get Iraqi Shia dominated areas. Also, China is an ally.
 * Persia: The mighty Persia agrees to the terms of Russia. (concerned with Russia's grammar)

Ethiopia: Our leader states to the world that we are not happy with Western colonies surrounding our great nation. We would like to be friends with Persia, uniting our Muslim ideologies. Ethiopia would like to ask the Triple Entente. Our country starts westernising and urbanising. We establish education and expand trade, resulting in an increase in our economy.

Ethiopia: I would also like to join the Entente due to the fact that our mining rate has gone very low. Our leader the great Menelik II is extremely worried and would like to officially ask to join the Entente. Japan: Our economy continues to change from agricultural to industrial. '''We ask to trade more with western powers. '''Population increases dramatically this year.  Emperor Meiji dies and Taisho takes his place on the throne.'''We want to ease tensions with China so we make a deal for them and the rest of the Entente. We will join the Entente and demilitarize Northern Korea if China and Russia trade with us and we get French Indochina for $4 million (1912 money). We ask US for the Philippines for either an NAP or an alliance (their choice), resources and $8 million. '''Morale is high and many join our army while all Japanese high command are honored at a ceremony. The average lifespan goes up and many people live long, healthy lives. We crack down on criminal activity and maintain a good public opinion. We build many vehicles and much military equipment in our factories to keep our economy going smooth. We mobilize for any coming war. Our education programs are improved and more people are over poverty line. Our nation and empire is strong. Honor to Japan! (Mil./Econ.)
 * Russia: Refuses to have anything to do with tribes telling them that they should have been European colonies by now (don't worry - someone will conquer you as in OTL).
 * Germany: Asks to trade with Japan.
 * Russia: Asks China if they agree to Japan's terms and France if they are willing to give French Indochina to Japan for $4 million (1912 money). Other than that, we agree with the terms but we are waiting for our allies' decisions. We also ask Japan not to trade with Germany as they are Entente's enemies.
 * Japan: Agrees not to trade with Germany.
 * Germany condemns Russia and Japan for embargoing Germany solely because we are allied with different countries.
 * Italian Dip: We agree with Germany and we warn Russia to stay away from Japan, and remind the Japanese of the Russo-Japanese War not so long ago.
 * Russian Dip:We tell the Italians not to threaten us as we are way stronger than them,also it is not smart for Italy to continue supporting the Central powers since they don't have nothing to earn and are outnumbered 5:1(Remember otl ww1?Japan joined on the allies side also Vatonica we are enemies, don't try to make me look bad...)

1912.5
(Via Chat, comment if you want otherwise): Italy and the Ottomans reach an agreement in which Italy gets control of Libya but the Ottomans maintain control of some port cities.

The RMS Titanic sinks after crashing into an iceberg.

The Olympics will be held in Stockholm, Sweden.

'''Montenegro declares war on the Ottoman Empire, triggering the Balkan War. Bulgaria and Serbia have followed.'''

Public support for the new Emperor of Russia starts to decrease after he agreed to an alliance with Japan, because of the memories of the horrid Russo-Japanese War and the anti-Japanese alliance with China.

'''WE NEED THE PLAYERS FOR FRANCE, BRITAIN, AUSTRIA-HUNGARY, BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, AND SPAIN TO PLAY. OTHERWISE, THEY WILL BE REMOVED AND OPERATED BY THE MODS/REPLACEMENTS FOUND.'''

I'm britain~Tao64

Spain: After much debate Spain decides to join the Triple Alliance. With the presence of British troops in Portugal we begin to slowly mobilize our army and navy for defensive purposes. We deploy many of these troops along our border with Portugal and along the northern border with France. '''We ask our new allies for military equipment and advisers. We also ask to purchase a dreadnought and 2 heavy cruisers from Germany. ''' Much of our industry starts to be retooled for war production.

Thailand: Thailand builds up its military and improves infrastructure. New ports also comntinues construction. Monarch Vajiravudh continues plans of reforms for the nation.

Austria-Hungary(I thought this began at midnight GMT?!): We declare support for The Ottoman Empire in the Balkan War and mobilise our forces along the border. With Serbia involved and fearing potential Russian outrage, we spread propoganda against the Russian Emperor. Fearing an upcoming World War, we increase spending on the military. We declare our support for the Italian-Ottoman agreement, favouring the Italians over the Ottomans. Operation: Sabretooth is planned, a possible invasion of Serbia, part of GroßenPlan 1, a plan to divide the Balkans between us and the Ottoman Empire.

Italy: We return our troops located in Libya to the island of Sicily. We continue to improve our military and economy from last turn. We offer to sell our Italian colonies in western Africa to Ethiopia in return that they join the Central Powers, and we also offer support for the Ottomans in the Balkan War in hopes that they join the alliance as well.
