Miracle at Marne (Map Game)

Welcome to the Miracle at Marne Map Game.

The Point of Divergence is the Battle of Marne, considered the Miracle at Marne (OTL). From September 5th to September 12th of 1914 The Germans began a strong Campaign to crush France during the first month of the War.

When the Germans had reached just beyond the river Marne they encountered large amounts of French troops as well as the supremely well trained British expeditionary force. However rather than the right flank of the German army being hit by the French Army the German army did not allow for an Exploitable gap between the This lack of an Exploitable Gap as well the 1st Army Conducting a Holding action in what would have been a major gap of the German battle lines managed to hold out and even make a few gains as the German left Flank Victoriously drove back multiple French armies.

With major breakthroughs made by the German Sixth and Seventh armies the Right flank particularlay the First army opened up an unprecedented gap in the German lines. Too good not to exploit. This Gap allowed for the French to make a worthwhile assault into the area, but a Trap laid by the German First and Second armies allowed by a shift of French forces to reestablish a line against the German sixth and Seventh Armies, turned this exploitable gap into a death trap trapping the French 5th army, and elements of the British expeditionary force. With the French 5th army destroyed the French sixth army was forced to hold its ground as long as possible against the German First and Second Armies (with the French Ninth army begin pulled back along with Fourth, Second, and First armies. This very disorganized line being resstablished ended up with the with a 48 Hour battle from September 11th to the 13th in which the French 6th Army was forced back into Paris with the British expeditionary force, and the remainder of the French armies forced to fight with their Backs to the Seine River.

With this the Germans were able to begin the Battle of Paris in which the city fell the Germans in short order. The BEF was therefore evacuated unable to fight alone on a continent with a failing ally. The French summarily Capitulated and surrended French Equatorial Africa, and Madagascar to the German Empire. Following this, the Germans and Austrians were allowed to pursue a much stronger and more powerful front to the Russians, and Prevented the British from making any more meaningful contributions outside of Supplies to Russia. By midway through 1915 and a costly stalemate for the Russians on the Eastern front a Peace treaty was signed between the Entente and the Central powers. Russia returned to a Status Quo, as did France, but the seperate colonial exchanges remained between Germany and France. The British had lost their "Balance of Power" policy and officially began looking for new allies in a new volatile world in which the British were truly Threatened.

1916
With End of Hostilities from the Central-Entente War ending, and with a Central powers victory Germany has become a direct rival to the British, militarily and industrially with a colonial empire that has nearly doubled in size in nearly 20 years.

'''However Germanies victory has come at a great cost to its allies. The loss of more Ottoman territory has brought the empire nearing to its knees and the Austrians are feeling the various ethnic tensions and the possible split between Austria and Hungary into two powerful successor states. '''

France itself has fallen into dissarray with many rallying agaisnt the governments decision to surrender following the fall of Paris, as well as the lopsided agreement the French signed in order to restore their homeland.

'''Russia as well suffers from public unrest as a failed war and lack of preparation for it has left many dead and sucked the public support from the government bringing many new ideas many of them hushed, about revolution. The first buddings of both communism, and a republican movement begin to permeate Russias population. This failure has left much of Eastern europes populations outside of Russia vying for independance as German success over the Russians have emboldened the movements of secessionists.'''

Canada: Requests an alliance with the US. Starts to build up it's navy with 5 submarines, 10 destroyers, and 5 cruisers. Creates a mandatory draft policy for future military engagements. Signs the "Free Immigration Law" into effect, allowing easy validation for citizenship.
 * xPortugese Diplomacy: We offer Canada an alliance.

Italy: Alliance with Canada is requested.
 * Canada: Accepts alliance offer
 * Portugese Dip: We offer Italy and alliance.
 * Canadian Dip: We accept the offer

Portugal: The government begins to upgrade the navy. 3 submarines, a cruiser, and 6 destroyers are laid down. To prevent protests in the colonies the government grants them home rule with a representative to the Portugese government. The natives and population in the colonies elect in a governor and a House of Commons.

German Empire: The empire following its success in the Central-Entente war has parades in almost every city declaring the day the peace treaty was signed a national holiday. Many industries are turned back to consumer and other types of productions with an emphasis on farm equipment. With acquisition of French colonies and the Emphasis being put on their development Germany begins to subsidize people for colonial settlement hoping to increase the colonial populations. Areas like the Congo seized from Belgium during the war have their resource areas and mines confiscated and taken control of by German companies with their output being scheduled to increase significantly. The German Industries now rivaling the British following the war see no need to be developed outside of the Ruhr as of yet and an empahsis of developing the resource capabilities of the colonies, and Germany proper with Infrastructure being developed between the cities attempting to cater to an increased amount of automobiles and an incrasingly urban based populous. The bid for increased colonial immigration is somewhat successful with nearly 10,000 people willing to go upon hearing the plans to develop certain specific industries in some of the Colonies. '''The Main focus however of the German Empire over the past year has been a focus on the Re-tooling of the German Industry with Industrial development taking place in the Congo, and multiple of Germanies African colonies. '''The German high Seas fleet for the time being is split into multiple battle groups with patrolling beign done near German colonies. The resources hopefully to be gathered from German colonies are to allow the construction of a larger German fleet. The German U-boat fleet also begins conducting its own major operations of patrol throughout the atlantic. Plans to possibly scrap the Zepplin fleet are made. Germann von der Lieth-Thomsen however begins to see a different future with them and asks engineers to come up with an armored Dirigible that could possibly be weaponized by the German Air force.


 * Gabon: Gabon gets a small amount of German immigrants mostly people looking to take control of previously french areas and resource exploitation areas working to get them operational again


 * Cameroon: Following the conclusion of the war Cameroons agricultural base is reactivated with the Railways used to bring the Agricultural products that are used all across the German empire. The possibility of industrialization to a degree brings in almost 2000 German immigrants.


 * Equatorial Africa: German control of this area is tenuous at best with almost 10,000 german troops used to begin securing the colony and prepare it for development by German corporations.


 * Congo: The resources in Congo previously exploited by Belgium are taken over by the Germans with coporations beginning to expand on them forming industries around this area to form and refine specific materials to be shipped across the empire for development.


 * Togo: The infrastructure of Togo known as some of the most highly developed in Africa is kept afloat following the war with repairs made for the cash crops being used to for sale to develop the colony. The town and settlements begin to Expand more thoroughly with Imperial incentives bringing a few hundred german settlers.


 * Tanzania: The German settlements continue to expand with the possibility of industrialization and further development of mineral resources bringing near 2000 German settlers incentivized by the government. Cash crops such as Rubber, and coffee are developed continually as well with the economic development of the area taking precedence.


 * Madagascar: Madagascar for the most part is left to its own devices as the First German settlements of just over a couple hundred a piece are established. German military forces begin to take control of the island with about 5000 troops being deployed to secure the empires influence and transfer to Germany.


 * Namibia: Diamond and copper mining continue to attract the majorit of German settlement Thousands flocking to the colonies for these opportunities. The majority of German population in the colonies continues to be located here and this is the first real area in which German industry in the colonies is developed. This is done to take German South West Africak to new heights and bring the Crown colony special status in the Empire Eventually.


 * New Guinea: New Guinea remains as it is with limited settlement and some naval ships using this as a base and other cash crops being grown.


 * Samoa: German samoa continues to expand its production of cash crops.


 * Portugese Diplomacy: We request to resume diplomatic contact with the German Empire.
 * German Dip: We will agree.

Japan: Japan begins to build up its military. Japan also asks Britain for an alliance.

Colombia: The republic of Colombia continues to try and move forward in an ever changing world, the nation's exports were greatly affected by the central-entente war and as it comes to an end the Republic of Colombia looks to restore trade with Central Europe and looks to strengthen ties with the Americans and Germans, offering a trade agreement. Tensions between the liberals and conservatives grow s. Efforts to begin military reforms are set forward, and a request to begin purchasing German firearms and artillery is made, meanwhile favorable trade deals are made to the states, Germany, and the British in exchange for increased investment into Colombian industry and resource exploitation are made. the government begins a series of programs to expand national infrustracture and to expand the rail lines in the country. Coffee and tabacco exports go well this year.

German Dip: We agree to this

American Dip: we agree

United States of America: The war in europe being over, many question wether we should have done somehting. Trade with all european nations resumes, and a massive military buildup continues.

 * America: We accept.
 * Portugese Diplomacy: We offer Brazil an alliance as we are both Portuguese nations and have been tied to each other. We offer to help train the army.
 * Brazilian Diplomacy:We accept your offer.

Austrian-Hungarian Empire: Following the victory of the Central Powers during the Central-Entente War, the Emperor Franz Joseph I of issues a statement from the Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, in which he writes he is pleased for the outcome of the war and now is the time to celebrate the might of Austria-Hungary and her united peoples. Several military parades of both Austrian and Hungarian home armies are conduct throughout major cities, mainly Vienna and Budapest. Emperor Franz Joseph, being in his last years, is absent in many government decisions, and as such, he relies on the two Minister-Presidents of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Istvan Tisza of the Hungarian regions, and Count Karl von Sturgkh of the Austrian Regions. They convenne to discuss new domestic policies due to the end of the war. The series of reforms are known as "'' Reformen für den Großraum Reich,  Reformok a Nagy Birodalom,  or  Reformy pro větší Říše" (Reform for the Greater Empire). '' In these reforms are plans for both industrial, ethnic and military reforms, the first being solving the ethnic question that plauge Franz Joseph I during his active years and was subject to much deliberation for many Minister-Presidents before them. They resolve to make German, Hungarian, Czech, Romanian, Serbian, Croation, and Slovene the national languages of Austria-Hungary, but only mandate that three of the languages be taught in schools, based on regions. The first langauge will be the majority language spoke by the region, as determined by census. The second language will be the majority language of the largest neighboring region, and if the langauges are the same, then the largest minority language will be taught. Finally, the third language is to be determined by the student for study before their graduation. The military reforms are placed on hold for the time being due to a larger focus on domestic ethnic and political needs. The reform for the political system involves the need for better integration of the Austrian and Hungarian parliaments. The call for development of common law issues the need for bi-annual parliament conventions, which allows parliament members of both Austria and Hungary to convene twice a year, once in February for a week, and then once in August for a week, where agreements will be made for development of common laws within both Austria and Hungary. The laws are not limited in what they overshadow, allowing for common economic, military and industrial laws. The reforms for military and industry are planned for later.

ROC: As Yuan Shikai is abdicated from the throne, our government begin a series of self-strengthening movements. Sun Yat Sen becomes the president and writes three books on the development of the republic, the three focused on social, psychological and infrastructure elements. As a strong government is slowly formed, less warlords are rebelling. Also, a strong military is in the making and dockyards are constructed in major ports. We ask for an alliance with Germany.

Russia: The Tsar, seeing that with the war lost and his due to the Germans his subjects seeing him as less of a leader and more of a scapegoat, abdicates the throne and his son,  Grand Duke  Michael   of Russia. He soon begins his rule by passing several reforms, calling for the organization of a new Duma with the minoirty groups such as the Ukrainians, Poles, Estonians, Fins, Lithuanians, Armenians, and Latvians allowed to send representatives to the convention in St Petersburg. The convention lasts for several weeks until finally a new deal is hammered out with the signing of the Pact of St Petersburg, which creates a Duma with two houses, with one having equal representation for each ethnic group, and the other being based on population. This helps cooler heads to take power over secessionary groups, allowing Russia to slowly begin stabilizing. The country is officialy renmaed the Empire of all Russians. The Monarch is to act as the Executive of the country, and may not delcare war without an aproval of the Duma.

Its Tsarina not Tsaritsa.

Colombia: the military continues to undergo reforms aimed at modernizing the army and bringing it up to european standards, a request is sent to Germany to send advisors to help the military reforms ,and to help build up Colombia's industrial level using the german model. communist aggitation begins to appear in areas of the country only to be violently repressed by the conservatives and liberals. The tensions between the conservatives and the liberals continues to grow with the conservatives gaining a majority of the legislation. Economic development begins and industrialization of the areas around Bogota and the atlantic port of Barranquilla begins with private investment from rich colombian land owners and traders who fear falling behind in an everchanging world. more foriegn investors are invited to help develop the Colombian economy and industry under plans of joint shareholding with colombian private investors or the government holding a majority of 40 % of the stocks and with foriegn investors holding the rest expansion of basic Infrustructure continues and rail construction continues. more german weapons are imported.

Sweden: With the recent outbreak of influenza we allow limited entrance into Sweden. We put out a call to open up trade or alliances between any nation. We also wish to improve relations with local Scandinavian nations bordering us.

German Empire: The Empire following almost a straight full year of recovery and re-tooling of domestic industry resumes programs that promote a welfare state, protect German industry workers wages, and also works on extending the established German nationalistic pride, to a large colonial nationalism. The lower class workers or undesireable, are declared desireable for colonization in order to jumpstart a German populace in all of Germanies colonies With large incentives being given to thousands of people to go to German west africa particularly Congo and Gabon. The incentives are essentially large land grants for plantations. However surprisingly the Krupp industry at the allowance of the German government set up its first mining and industrial operations throughout Congo beginning to mine out and use the vast resource riches of the Congo with predicted expansion to occur over the next few years to develop Congo into the Industrial heartland of Germanies African possessions. The First German drills make their tap into oil in Gabon with it just being a curioscity however the project is meant for research purposes and only two extremely small wells are drilled. The Industry in Germany proper also continues to produce parts for the German navy developing more ships for the navy as they work on the Navies expansion. A few minor industrial companies and in a small part the Krupp coorporation begins to invest in Colombia intent on exploitation of the nations resources in exchange for money as asked for. German immigration to the colonies remains relatively low with only about 4000 people immigrating to the entirety of the colonies. '''The Industry of the empire is improved. '''The possibility of a Trans African Railway is considered with Africa being considered the future for the German peoples to live in, as well as the empire in part to the vast resource wealth of Africa. The Kaiser while initially unsupportive does see that living Space in Germany could eventually become a problem and begins getting legislation together which forces many africans off their land into other nations colonies to make room for German colonists and companies. However instead of completely forcing them off with the military the Germans attempt a slow pay off of african leaders to immigrate to other areas of Africa and leave the German colonies. However as successful as this is many do refuse to leave presenting a problematic situation for the Germans. The German Zepplin fleet is brought in for upgrades. The Designs for a more well off and possibly armed zepplin continue.
 * Gabon: Gabon gets a small amount of German immigrants mostly people looking to take control of previously french areas and resource exploitation areas working to get them operational again. Oil is drilled slightly for research.
 * Cameroon: Following the conclusion of the war Cameroons agricultural base is reactivated with the Railways used to bring the Agricultural products that are used all across the German empire. The possibility of industrialization to a degree brings in immigrants.

The government begins to look into purchasing or building several airplanes and tanks. The navy receives 4 new surface ships and a submarine. The rest of the the ships are still under construction. Army upgrades by .25. USA: The military continues to be built up, starting a focus on rhe Navy, creating a few submarines, and expanding its ship arsenal. Trade is slowed with europe after news of the outbreak, and focuses trade with its south american allies. We also close borders, and immagrants will be turned back., These guards are armed.
 * East Timor: Settlers into the region increase, but the government discourgages the displacement of the native population, instead buying large tracts of land and constructing settlements or leaving them open for mining and farming.

Russia: Tsar  Michael  attends the first meeting of the new Russian Duma, and it passes several laws allowing for new railways and infrastrucure as well as several new war factories. The first tank in Russia is invented, similiar in design to OTLs British Mark I. Testing of better designs begins, while production of the so called "tank" is set to begin next year. Research into advancing the tank farther technoligcaly begins. Several new prototypes have flame throwers attached to them, although those are still in testing and will not be on the battlefeild for at least two years. The Tsar begins to visit parts of her country, going along the Baltic coast and then southwards into the western areas of Russia. The Tsarina also marries a long forgotten son of Stephen Báthory, who had ruled as monarch of Poland Lithunia, Aleš Báthory, he is 22 years old, while Tsarina Olga is 22 as well. The marriage is mostly political, as to make the people of Poland and Lithuania feel that they now have a stronger say in the actions of the monarch, however, upon meeting the two actually begin to grow quite fond of eachother, allowing for a personal relationship to start growing between them, which will lead to, by the years end, the Tsarina becomin pregnant.

'''I cant find anything on this guy, mind posting a link so i can see. Also much of the rest of Poland was ceded to Austria and Germany following the war, so he may not even be in a situation where you can get to him to actually marry him &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk)'''

'''I made him up Fued, i thought that would be allowed as i couldnt really find any links to his other family members. DS|The Rainbow Machete 17:06, October 9, 2013 (UTC)'''
 * Russian Diplomacy (Need Mod Response): We offer an alliance to Bulgaria, Persia/Iran, Rumania, Greece, and Albania, however, seeing as Serbia is just a powder keg we send an envoy to Austria-Hungary stating we are not seeking an alliance with Serbia.
 * Bulgaria 9: No
 * Persia7: No
 * Greece 2: Yes
 * Albania 9: No

Austrian-Hungarian Empire: A majority of major military parades have now ended completely as the government under the two Minister-Presidents is both reformed and the military retooled. Emperor Franz Joseph I continues to be absent in many of the national affairs due to his advanced age, with many believing he will not make it to the next year. The two Minister-Presidents embark on several military and industrial reforms. They begin with military, by increasing the military budget by five-fold to allow for more spending and a more competent army. The Imperial Minister of War, Alexander von Krobatin, uses these increased funds to resupply the army with various rifles (Such as the Steyr-Mannlicher M1895), service pistols for both infantry and cavalry (Steyr M1912, Roth-Steyr M1907, Rast-Gasster M1898), and machine guns for infantry (Scwarzlose MG M.07/12). In addition to this, the Minister of War begins to retrain many of the Austrio-Hungarian officers due to their incompetance during the initial and ending stages of the Central-Entente War, by creating new requirements for acceptance as an officer, and new requirements of training. The main addition regarding acceptance is the ability to read and write in three languages, and be able to read in one additional langauge, to account for the multiple nationalities of the Empire. The main addition regarding training is an addition six-months that is used to teach military theory, formations and tactics, and effective use of supply lines. Several new officer training and Aviation training schools are constructed as well. In the part of Industrial reforms, they begin by subsidising various private companies such as Steyr Mannlicher, Astra Automobile, Ganz Works, Skoda Works, Csepel Automotive, Cosulich Line, Magomobil, Lohner-Werke, and Wiener Neustadter Locomotive in order to allow for their industrial centers to expand, mainly to Galicia in Cisleithania, in order to provide jobs, incomes, and relieve the various famines and poverty of the area, and already, several factories are being constructed in Galicia. ROC: We begin crushing warlords with out army. The Huangpu Military Academy is built and hundreds of officials is pumped out and sent to fight. We begin strenthening China and Sun Yat-Sen begin to rally to "Unite for Progress". As a strong government is slowly formed, less warlords are rebelling. Also, a strong military is in the making and dockyards are constructed in major ports. We ask for an alliance with Germany.
 * Austro-Hungarian Diplomacy (1 We are forced to agree.): We send our "July Ultimatium" back to the Serbian government following our victory of the Central-Entente War, with all the nine points that they agreed to previously before the war, omitting the fifth point that they rejected previously. (OTL).
 * Suppress all publications which "incite hatred and contempt of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy" and are "directed against its territorial integrity".

 * Cease the cooperation of the Serbian authorities in the "traffic in arms and explosives across the frontier"; dismiss and punish the officials of the at Shabatz Loznica frontier service, "guilty of having assisted the perpetrators of the Sarajevo crime".
 * Provide "explanations" to the Austro-Hungarian Government regarding "Serbian officials" who have expressed themselves in interviews "in terms of hostility to the Austro-Hungarian Government".
 * Notify the Austro-Hungarian Government "without delay" of the execution of the measures comprised in the ultimatum.

1918
''' The Influenza continues to infect people worldwide with near 150 million people estimated to be infected worldwide and millions dieing especially in Africa and Asia. The abnormally fast research by Canadian scientists into a vaccine has failed with a more deadly strain of the disease emerging in the Americas and Europe particularly France, Germany, and the UK. '''

''' Infections in Russia increase drastically as well With an unnamed Communist leader gathering large amounts of support throughout the country saying that Russian imperialism has led to nothing but failure and that measures need to be taken. Many People also begin to take up the Republican movement who see the Tsardom as an outdated concept and wish to put a prime minister and more structured Duma in power with either a Removed Tsar, or figurehead Tsar. A Tsarist faction also begins to develop as well with many nobles and people as well establishing a near equal movement of Pro-Tsarists in the Government. The Three factions however remain unarmed for now. '''

''' The Ottoman Empire begins to suffer worse issues and Once again requests assistance of its main Ally, Germany, and begins deploying its military forces against rebels and revolters in the country. '''

Japan: Japan continues to build up its military, and asks Britain again for an alliance. Meanwhile the government begins funding research into the Influenza.

Spain:closes off borders and begin a border potral unit these guards a armed and sometimes aided by arittery. begins to build tanks and completes the airforce.

Colombia: Industrialization arround Bogota and Barranquilla continues, and the construction of railways throughout the country continues. More German Imports and advisors are brought to Colombia ad the modernization and expansion of the armed forces continues. Immigration from Europe is temporarily stopped as the inffluenza grows. The yeary crops are good allowing more investments into industrial expansion. An ambitious program to exand the country's health and education system is brought forward and approved by a majority of the senate, but it is placed in steps for a total period of 20 years. a trade offer is mae to Britin and france, but Colombian officials warn against the expansion French influence into Venezuela and the region fearing that they will bring European problems to the new world. research into chemical weapons beginss aswell along with efforts to improve colombian education and university standards.
 * France D:We Agree to the Trade offer.

Australia: As desire to merge with New Zealand grows, a request to formally merge the two Dominions is sent to the UK, and a request for a Governmental Merge to New Zealand, both of which have effectively the same result. Government posters raising awareness about the Influenza, and telling people to avoid Crowds, and be hygienic. We also attempt to create a vaccine, but this is not considered likely to be finished quickly. Ships from infected countries are placed in Quarantine for a few weeks before being allowed to dock, to ensure that no one on-board has the Flu. A Scientist, having just finished an experiment involving the effects of certain Bacteria on Bread, goes on Holiday.
 * UK: We will agree to this merger over a period of 10 years to facilitate an easy, painless transition as well as to handle any issues between the two dominions along the way.

Norway: King Haakon VII still waits on responses from the diplomats sent to Germany and Austria-Hungary. Funding continues to be put into finding and developing upon the North Sea oil, hoping to improve the economy with the profits. Scientists are requested to start developing a vaccine for the Spanish Flu. King Haakon VII calls upon the countries of the world to work together to develop a vaccine.


 * German Dip: Germany agrees to establish relations but also asks Norway to participate in research on the practicality and usage for oil as fuel or other possible uses. We hope to establish a very good working relationship with Norway.

USA: To prevent massive deaths from the flu, people infected are told to wear masks and leave there homes only if necessary (food, etc). We call upon the worlds nations to hjoin together to find a cure. The militarry continues to grow, and trade with South America and Australia, and limited trade with europe, adopting the australians policy of quarantining TRADE ships. Immagrants are still sent back.

Portugal: The government declares a ban on trade ships from Germany, Russia, and quarantines ships from the UK and France for a month. Immigration is halted and immigrants are returned to their homelands. The government authorizes the research of a vaccine. 27 million USD are given.

The remaining military ships are completed, and the government grants complete home rule to the colonies in exchange they join the Portugese Commonwealth.

ROC: We begin crushing warlords with out army. The Huangpu Military Academy is built and hundreds of officials is pumped out and sent to fight. We build our parliament and begins to vote for our offcial language. We begin building trainrails. Also, a strong military is in the making and dockyards are constructed in major ports. We ask for an alliance with Germany.
 * Portugese Diplomacy: We propose forming an international research group to find a cure an vaccine for the virus.

German Empire: The Empire alarmed by the growing issues with the influenza imposes a self Quarantine and Mobilizes much of its military to the French Border, Danish Border, and Russian Border intent on preventing large scale influx of infected persons. Along with this the German navy isolates Germanies major ports and searches every ships for infection before it is allowed to Dock. German forces also moderately patrol of the Borders with Austria using the mountains as a natural barrier to prevent the influx of infected. Research on a Vaccine begins as well. German Industry begins an increased amount of Munitions and weapons production in case of Internal rioting from the Disease. The German Air-force also continues its research into a heavily armed Zepplin. We Begin the research into a new modern aircraft with Austria-Hungary. German immigration discouraged from immigrating to the United States begin to more heavily migrate to the colonies seeing an increased opportunity as Germany increasingly takes the World stage economically and Militarily. Almost 25,000 people Immigrate to the colonies with most of them going to Cameroon and Namibia (South-West Africa). The German military with the Influenza situation increases its Standing military to almost 600,000 almost 100,000 more than the previous year with possible increases until the disease ends. With this troop increase the Germans are able to send 50,000 Experienced WW1 troops to the Ottoman empire particularly Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Iraq Areas in order to help the Ottomans with some of their internal issues. German industry is increased. France:Continues Stabilizing the nation, The Situation Regarding the Influenza,Although the infection is beginning to enter into the region, only a few thousands use the vaccine as the others take a rather isolationist position even asking the government to close the borders with Spain,Italy and Germany and shutting down any trading with outside countries, yet the government Denies said requests as currently is this what holds the Republic after the wars, and the government realizes that such actions would only complicate the situation of France regarding the Global situation.While this the warning of colombia although not important, nor relevant to the french plans, in order to start better relations with the region it withdraws any influence towards venezuela. and Instead begins influencing Chile and Uruguay.Military is built up as well as navy and the Quarantine for those seeks continue while being researched by the french Bio labs. Brazil:As the infection spreads around the world, we decide to tighten the grip on our borders and kill anyone with symptoms of infection. We continue to develop our industry and military. We begin a military buildup along Paraguay and Uruguay to capture both nations. We also begin researching for a vaccine but it may take a long time.
 * Gabon: Gabon gets a small amount of German immigrants mostly people looking to take control of previously french areas and resource exploitation areas working to get them operational again. Oil is drilled slightly for research. German settlements relatively new are isolated and secured as are many French settlements as innoculations to natives are given however the dealier strain proliferates killing many more than they would have saved had the vaccine been properly researched.
 * Cameroon: Following the conclusion of the war Cameroons agricultural base is reactivated with the Railways used to bring the Agricultural products that are used all across the German empire. The possibility of industrialization to a degree brings in immigrants. Soldiers isolate all German settlements and Vaccinations to Natives are Given Which spread the Deadlier strain to natives
 * Equatorial Africa: German control of this area is tenuous at best with almost 10,000 german troops used to begin securing the colony and prepare it for development by German corporations however the foothold begins to increase as German troops allow for vaccinations of the Populace with the Canadian "vaccine" which actually turn out to kill more people than their saving with the deadlier strain starting to kill the natives in droves.
 * Congo: The resources in Congo previously exploited by Belgium are taken over by the Germans with coporations beginning to expand on them forming industries around this area to form and refine specific materials to be shipped across the empire for development. Industrialization from the Krupp coorporations along the Congo River begins. Innoculations begin against the Influenza with the Canadian "Vaccine" but this is only done for Africans and the virus begins to spread heavily. German Soldiers isolate the German Settlements as well with the same process as Namibia to prevent heavy outbreaks and promote a quick response.
 * Togo: The infrastructure of Togo known as some of the most highly developed in Africa is kept afloat following the war with repairs made for the cash crops being used to for sale to develop the colony. The town and settlements begin to Expand more thoroughly with Imperial incentives bringing a few hundred german settlers.
 * Tanzania: The German settlements continue to expand with the possibility of industrialization and further development of mineral resources bringing German settlers incentivized by the government. Cash crops such as Rubber, and coffee are developed continually as well with the economic development of the area taking precedence. Innoculations are given to natives with the Canadian "Vaccine" are done thinking they work which only serve to spread the disease throughly through the African native settlements and tribes.
 * Madagascar: Madagascar for the most part is left to its own devices as the First German settlements of just over a couple hundred a piece are established. German military forces begin to take control of the island with about 5000 troops being deployed to secure the empires influence and transfer to Germany.
 * Namibia: Diamond and copper mining continue to attract the majority of German settlement Thousands flocking to the colonies for these opportunities. The majority of German population in the colonies continues to be located here and this is the first real area in which German industry in the colonies is developed. This is done to take German South West Africak to new heights and bring the Crown colony special status in the Empire Eventually. The German Army effectively Quarantines the German Settlements shooting any who approach on sight for fear of the Influenza, however the Germans using the Canadians "Vaccine" innoculate thousands of Africans who unknowingly take this deadlier Strain of influenza back to their settlements and Tribes with begin to spread like wildfire through German South-west Africa.

'''Nope your not exactly politically stable enough to be taking those nations over. '''

1919
''' The Influenza makes huge landfalls in Africa and Asia as almost 10 million in China and India respectively have died. Africa however with the Influenza Spreading throughout the continent heavily has nearing 50 million infected, and now 25 million dead, particularly in West Africa. The Sahara to a degree shields certain nations and colonies from the mainline refugee effect ths Influenza is Causing '''

''' The Russian political groups still forming following discreet declarations the previous year begin to grow in strength with a possible civil war forming. '''

''' The European and North American influenzas have infected near 30 to 50 million people however treatment prevents many from dieing as well as Quarantine measures. South American nations suffer as well. '''

''' The Diverse Palestine area is temporarily quelled by the German forces in the area preventing any more ethnic uprisings for the time being. its Predicted to be a short term solution. '''

White Russians, as the pro-republican forces are called, is legitimized with the formation of the White Republican Party of Russia in the Duma. The party has a majority, and elects Alexander Kolchak to be their revolutionary leader. The party begins to militarize with the creation of the White Guards. They claim that they will not attack the legitimate government of Russia, which they still consider to be the Tsar. However, the Whites are very hostile towards the Red Russians. The Whites control a good deal of industry in Russia, and ask the Tsar to share his power 50-50 with an elected republican official. Since the Whites also control the Duma, they ban the Communist party. All communist party members are fired from White Russian industries.


 * White Russian Diplomacy: We seek a political alliance with the Green Russians (Tsarists) in order to prevent the Red Russians from gaining any influence. We know that they will gladly overthrow the current establishment, made up of the political Greens and the economic Whites.


 * White Diplomacy: We seek the support of Germany, France, UK, US, and all other nations in our movement to disarm the communist movement.

Norway: Oil profits start coming in, and the money is used to help develop the economy. King Haakon now turns towards developing the infrastructure of Norway. King Haakon also requests scientists in Norway research ways to more efficiently gain oil.

Red Russia:With Communists banned from factories, a flood of workers come out and fill the streets of Moscow and Petrograd. That is when Vladmir Lenin of the Bolshevick party rises up and gives a speech to the urban workers. "How dare THEY, the White Russian Bourgeoise, restrict OUR right to work and thus restricting us from being able to provide for our families, just because of our political views? Because of these injustices I encouarage all of you to seize the factories for US and to take up arms against our oppressors. If you join me I promise you land, labour, and bread. Equality for all, workers unite!." With that the military leader of the Bolshvicks, Leon Trosky, coordinated the seizing of key factories with minunum use of weapons. With the White Russians outnumbered, the Reds overan the factories. Now the Reds have control over some Russian Industry and thus we are able to provide for ourselves and our families.With supplies secured, we begin to organize, train, and try to gather support between Moscow and Petrograd.


 * The White Russians call on the Tsarist forces to punish the Reds for their violation of the basic rights of proprty.


 * Red Russian D:  Our violation of rights? Your the ones who denied us the basic to work and thus prevented us from providing basic needs for ourselves and our families, not to mention denying us political rights.

Colombia: military modernization continues and conscription in implemented by the conservative government while  development of a local military industry begins, using german patents. Scared of Brazilian militarization the training in the amazon begins to help protect thenational borders and  Allainces are offered to Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela solely in the defence of Brazilian aggression while not constituting an actually military alliance (RNG Someone) . Indutrialization continues and large amounts of funds go towards the industrialization campaign and to the increase of infrustructure, while efforts are made to keep the economy afloat through exportations of cash crops which is doing relatively well while the economy diversifies.

Austrian-Hungarian Empire: The current and now former Emperor, Franz Joseph I, dies of a cold and pneumonia in his palace in Vienna. A large state funeral is held as his body is paraded through Vienna, Prague, and Budapest, carried to each by train, before finally being entombed in the Imperial Crypt in Vienna. He is succeeded by his grand-nephew Charles I of Austria/Charles IV of Hungary. Now that a newer, younger man has been establish the Emperor-King of Austria-Hungary, the Minister-Presidents begin to act more as an advisory council rather than an actual deicison making body once more. The first act of King Charles is to appoint his brother, Archduke Maximilian Eugen of Austria as the temporary military governor of Serbia until their political statues can be figured out and to also help end the funding of Serbian nationalists. The increased military budget continues to allow for the production of multiple firearms for the rearming of the Austrian armies, and the increased investment into officer training in both aeronautics and land based warfare lead to two different large research projects, given funding from Charles I. The intent of the first project is the creation of a more effective Austro-Hungarian machine gun, and the development of a more faster and manueverable Austro-Hungarian fighter plane. The subsidation of the private companies leads to increased factories in the Galician territories, providing sources of income for many people there, and reducing poverty and starvation, however, the starvation is more or less releaved by a more bountiful Hungarian crop which allows for direct shipments of food to Galicia.

Australia: We continue to use anti-influenza methods. We begin to exploit the Oil in the Outback. The biologist returns to his lab, finding the Bacteria he was studying are all dead. Intrigued, he begins to test the items stored with them whilst he went on holiday. The slow merge with New Zealand has almost universal support across Australia. We ask for an alliance with the USA. We claim large chunks of Antarctica, and begin preparing for an expedition to the Pole. An ambitious plan to establish a Permanent base on Antarctica is put forwards, but critics say that it will be many years until it is feasible. Aborginial Groups that protest over the Exploitation of the Outback Oil, are given tracts of land as Reservations, that it is illegal for Companies to damage. Many of the reservations that are near Private Companies land are guarded by the Australian Army, and have Perimeter Fences put up. In a Radio Broadcast, William Hughes, the Prime Minister, states that he is 'Commited' to preserving the Aborigine way of life.
