Axis vs Allies: Revolutions (Map Game)

Hello, and welcome to the fourth installment of the Axis vs Allies series. The last few games, while they were successes, only one did finish and the UN pages and Diplomacy pages were not used very often. I hope to change that this game. Also, I hope all you guys know what I'm getting on with Axis vs Allies, Axis vs Allies: Reloaded, then Axis vs Allies: Revolutions :).

Now, to the game... The year is 1933. Hitler has just taken power in Germany. The world is still in a depression. Unemployment is high. Choose a nation, and command it to success and glory. Will your nation become a superpower? Or will it be crushed? It is never too late to join.

Rules
1. We are going to limit the nations count to one, as that when a person gets two countries; they usually neglect the other one.

2. The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated. . . IS NOT IT! But you must be plausible.

3. Nuclear programs may start in 1940.5 We will use Random.org to determine who starts it first and who gets it. Also, it will take at least four years to develop nukes if you are one of the “Big Cheese”. (US, Germany, Soviets, Japan)

4.One Half year per day.

5. Make a profile on the Diplomacy Page

6. You can be an occupied nation and declare independence.

7. We will have resolutions/stuff when the UN is created at United Nations Page

8. For now, I am the mapmaker.

9. New turns start at 00:00:01 UTC.

10. We go by half-years.

11. As for nuke use, the last game was ruined because of implausible use of nukes (admittedly, I was one of them), so while I won’t be making a “rule” on nuke use, USE YOUR HEAD! And moderators will be able to roll back edits.

12. Game is archived every 15 years.

13. On the United Nations page, which will be created around 1945-47. There will be a Security Council, with five permanent members, and ten impermanent members. To keep things simple, the impermanent members will rotate on Mondays. It is a three year term. Look at: United Nation Rules for more information. For the non - permanent Security Council, I will decide every turn with Random.org.

Map "rules"
A few general rules concerning the map as to ensure "success:"
 * 1) Always copy the full-size version of the map to avoid pixelation.
 * 2) Make all nations different colours.
 * 3) Try to make one for each half-year.
 * 4) Coloured circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client state, etc. of another nation.
 * 5) It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy nilly; if possible, try to find resources such as this to get inspiration.

 * 6) Germany withdraws from the League of Nations. Britain and France shows concerns of condemnations against German mobilization and re-armament.
 * 7) Getulio Vargas becomes Brazilian dictator.
 * 8) South Dakota becomes ravaged by the Dust Storm.
 * Korea: Korean guerrillas continue to harass Japanese forces - however, their success is still very limited due to the tight Japanese rule in Korea. They have some successes, although they lose a lot of them in their raids. One good thing is the assassination of many high profile Japanese officers, although at the cost of a dozen good men.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union offers to SECRETLY supply the Korean guerrillas with firearms and medicine.
 * Korean Diplomacy: Korea accepts the SECRET Soviet offer of weapons and supplies.
 * Soviet Union: Joseph Stalin orders the expansion of the Soviet Army and Air Force, and construction on two battleships to defend against the Japanese Empire begins. Meanwhile, expansion of farming operations in Ukraine, and industrial operations in Leningrad, Stalingrad and Moscow begin. Trade agreements are proposed to Germany, the United States, Britain, and France.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey would like Soviet permission to cross it territory in the Caucasus to invade Persia. The Soviet government shall be properly compensated for its aid in this endeavor.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Government states that there is no reason to ask Russia, as Turkey directly borders Persia to the East.
 * Gawd I'm slow today. -_-
 * Turkey: The Turkish government SECRETLY begins searching for ways to unite the Islamic world under their leadership, and expel the European invaders in the Middle East. The expansion of the Turkish military begins with the modernization of the army and the development of the air force. The government SECRETLY begins to supply Arab and Muslim rebels in British Palestine and French Syria, and the mobilization for a military invasion of Persia is taken.
 * Japan: Several Japanese military leaders realize the destabilization and slow progression into military rule that is happening and a very small group of generals and admirals begin making plans in alliance with more liberal and rational thinkers in the Diet to regain control of the army and the nation. These members of the Diet put forth several plans to revitalize Japanese industry and update it to begin producing more standard products and weapons, they also try to restore the Japanese reputation abroad but all efforts are paralyzed by the ultranationalists in the Diet and the army. The military continues massive crackdowns on the Korean populace as well as hold a tight grip on Manchuria. with the rise of problems with the U.S.S.R. Japan starts looking for a containment strategy and ups their naval operations to protect Japanese waters along with putting forth plans to build more ships and especially aircraft carriers to maintain naval dominance in the east. Troops in Manchuria and Korea are increased.
 * Argentina: The situation in Argentina continue to go worse as the economy is going down. During this time, a charismatic man manage to unite a small group of people into a small paramilitary unit with the goal of creating a nationalist government and nationalise the industry. However, the government is not aware yet of the movement as the men continue to spread its word.
 * Spain: A brand-new dictator, Alberto Rodriguez, takes office and immediately begins sizing up the National Guard to handle the revolutionaries. At the same time, Spain is reformed into the Spanish Empire, under a socialist government. As the revolutionaries fall, surrender, or give up, Rodriguez initiates a massive industrial and military build-up, including modernization of the railway system, and launching a new Spanish Armada. We offer an alliance with Germany to assist in any future conflicts.
 * German Response: We accept the alliance (so are you National Socialist or what?)
 * Spanish Response: You know it!
 * US: Construction of the begins in . The  votes nearly favorably for  independence, with the pro-independence people losing by one vote, agreeing the view of .

FDR is sworn in by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes. It is also the last time  in the US occurs on March 4.  arrives in the US as a refugee from ; he accepts a position at . The  outlaws.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: A few Japanese officers send a representative in secret to The USA, hoping to get American support in a coup they have planned to bring Japan back to rationalization since Japan is heading toward a river of blood, violence, and chaos. They hope that the U.S.A. will accept the new regime once it comes to power.
 * US D: Certainly. The United States will lend as much as it can to the rebellious Japanese. (Think of it as a lend lease type of thing.)
 * Colombia is now under a new regime, under a charismatic man who vows to bring his people back to the glory the people used to enjoy in its early days. They send letters to the United States, assuring that the country is not allied to any fascist country whatsoever. The country begins a massive economic and military plan to build up the military to modern and strong levels while spreading infrastructure, education, and health all over the country. It hire professionals from the United States in order to help speed up the process. They ask Argentina for an alliance and trade agreement.
 * Argentina D: The government accept both offers.
 * Sweden: Fears of a Soviet Invasion of Finland are brought up by a Finnish Diplomat in Stockholm. The Swedish Government, while wanting to stay as neutral as the nation has been for the last century, having even been neutral during The Great War. Sweden enters a secret defensive pact with Finland, and offers similar pacts to Norway and Denmark. The Marinen (Royal Swedish Navy), is to be strengthened, with the building of two dreadnoughts under the Stockholm-class, along with ten Cruisers, 24 Destroyers, 100 Convoy Escorts and 100 Submarines, the latter of which will be modeled off of German engineers that have left Germany and taken refuge in Sweden. Most of them of Jewish ancestry, and were tired of the anti-semitism that has been brewing over there. The Flygvapnet (Swedish Air Force), is also developing new planes for defense, though have not been revealed to the public. In order to avoid conflict, a Non-Aggression Pact is sent to the Soviet Union, promising not to declare war on the Soviets, unless they attack Finland or Norway.
 * Soviet Diplomacy:  Fine.
 * Germany: A new leader, calling himself Adolf Hitler has come to power. He forms a new government and begins plans to get the population back to work. One of his first orders is to move the Victory Column which is outside the Reichstag to be moved to current OTL location (basically meaning I am too lazy to search up the area). Hitler orders a 50 mile road to be built straight from the column. He also orders the construction of many factories in the north, so that Germany has "another economic heartland". This will be connected by Autobahns which also begin construction. However, a group of Dutch Communists tried to set the Reichstag on fire, but failed when SS Officers caught them. Due to this, Hitler amasses his army onto the Dutch border and orders the Dutch to hand over all the communists or else. Hitler also renounces the Versailles Treaty and orders re-armament to help amp up its army in case the country has to go to war with the Dutch. This includes building a world class navy again along with an air force no one can match up. However, all German designs are safe and secret and no one can get their hands on them. He then begins to look for solutions to the "Jewish Problem", and plans on buying Transjordan from Britain once the Germany economy has steadied itself. Hitler's approval rating rise as he begins to fulfill his promises.
 * Spanish Diplomacy: We will assist in finding solutions to the Jewish Problem.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union proposes a trade agreement with Nazi Germany.
 * The United States openly denounces the new German regime.
 * The Soviet Union asks the Dutch to send the Communists to the USSR.
 * Austria: Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss is toppled by a coup. The ringleaders crown Otto von Habsburg, who had been smuggled into the country, as the first Emperor of a new Austrian Empire. Negotiations are begun with Miklos Horthy of Hungary to reincorporate Hungary into the Empire.
 * German Response: Berlin is against such an action. They ask the Austrians why they would want another Emperor.
 * Yugoslavia: Asks for an Alliance with the USSR. Meanwhile Yugoslavian troops invade Greece.
 * Any reason for invasion?
 * Britain: The nation asks for an alliance with America and France to avoid conflicts from any European nation and warns that Yugoslavia to leave Greece, any intrusion to Greek territory will be considered as an act of war and we will not tolerate it, you are warned.
 * France: France agrees to the alliance (which was already in place in OTL). The French government also plans to aid the Greeks if any blood is spilled between the two nations. As well, seeing the recent incidents in Asia (along with fears of an Indochinese takeover), France offers Japan a military alliance, and offers help to the Japanese in the event of a Soviet-Japanese war.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: French offers will be taking into consideration by the Japanese government. The renegade military officers and politicians speak to the French ambassador about a possible French support for the coming coup to put the military and government back in line and prevent any possible disasters in the future.

1934.0
​POST NOW.
 * 1) Fear of the rise of Germany leads to the mobilization of the Low Countries.
 * 2) A few uprisings against their colonial masters occur in Syria and Palestine.
 * 3) Greece mobilizes against Yugoslavia and asks Britain and France for help.


 * Venezuela (realized that I am not playing Colombia just to let you know) continues its economic and military expansion program. As they hire more American professionals, they knowledge is spread to its top academies and universities. They discover oil in their backyard and begin to use the resource to fund the Venezuelan military. They SECRETLY prepare for a war against Colombia and Ecuador, which will be useful in re-establishing Gran Colombia.
 * Turkey: Fearing British ambitions in Persia, Turkish forces invade the nation to secure it from the European colonial power. The Turks continue to SECRETLY provide aid to the pro-Turkish and Arab rebels, hoping to see the overthrow of the Europeans there. A trade pact is extended to the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, and troops are promised to the Yugoslavians if the promise to leave Bulgaria and Romania to Turkey is accepted. Also, the Turk ask that the Yugoslavs not align themselves with the British or the French. The air force is expanded along with the army in light of the recent invasion of Persia.
 * USSR: The Soviets continue to support the Korean Rebels SECRETLY with arms and supplies. The USSR accepts the trade pact with Turkey, and SECRET support is sent to the Arab and Syrian rebels. Meanwhile, expansion of the Soviet Air Force continue, and construction on the two Pacific battleships are 50% complete. The Soviet Army begins building defenses along its western border with Finland, even though a non-aggression pact was signed with them.
 * German Diplomacy: The Germans agree to a trade pact. We are also looking for pacts which could mutually benefit us both.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: Agree. Possibly a non-aggression pact for now.
 * Sweden: News of Soviet defenses being built right next to Finland brings fears of a Soviet invasion of the Nordic nations. The Flygvapnet (Swedish Air Force) is still small and underdeveloped compared to the British, French, German and Soviet's. This will need to change, as multiple fighter jets are to be constructed, in case war breaks out (which looks inevitable, considering the alliances going on with Germany, Yugoslavia and Turkey's plans for invading another country). Plans to extend the order, is put into funding with Svenska Aero, to build the Svenska Aero Jaktfalken II, with 50 orders planned for the fighter plane. Since effort is put into building fighters, we ask to buy ten bomber planes from Hawker Aircraft of Great Britain, the Hawker Hart, and is willing to pay extra for blueprints to the Hawker Hart. We also ask for an economic alliance with the United States for oil, since oil shortages may become a possibility in the future.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The defenses are for self-defense only.
 * German Diplomacy: The Germans ask for an economic and military alliance pact. We will also help you if any of the Nordic countries are invaded.
 * Japan: On the 4th of January several armed groups led by a group of military leaders seize control of the diet and the military headquarters arresting all major officials who supported the transformation of Japan into a ultra-nationalist state. The Coup is a massive success as more military units accept the situation and Admiral Yamamoto who exercises a great level of influence in the navy along with other naval officers convince them to accept the coup. The new government lead by General Kanji Ishiwara immediately begin trying to bring the military under strict government control within the next eight months. Elections for the diet will be held in later in the year to restore the democratic government. A hunt begins to arrest all communists and and ultra-nationalists alike to ensure the new regime's position. A deal is offered to the Koreans: if they cease all fighting with Japan a deal will be worked out for a peaceful and hopefully friendly separation. The new government continues a few previous policies of extending the navy but adds improving it to the priorities as well as designing new firearms, and tanks for the army. Also the government starts looking into the possibility into gaining submarines and anti submarine technology (a major factor for their lose at sea in OTL WW-II) The new government request international recognition, and requests that a return of normal relations come to Japan and the west after the previous blunders made by the previous governments.
 * Uhh, mods? Hello? I'm pretty sure inventing characters is a big no-no... In any case, a quick bit of research would get a name. I recommend Kenji Doihara.
 * There, I put General Ishiwara, though he devised the Manchuria scandal he was opposed to the way Japan was headed he believed in pan-Asianism in its true spirit.
 * Yugoslavia: The military stops just north of Athens claiming that that's all the land they want and asks for an military alliance with Germany.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany agrees, and Hitler comes to personally visit Josef Tito.
 * Siam: Military is built up. Prime Minister Phot Phahonyothin recognises the new government of Japan and asks them for an alliance.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The new regime accepts the alliance offer and offers them a trade agreement.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Phot Phahonyothin of Siam accepts the trade agreement offer from Japan.
 * India: Declares independence from Britain. Offers that if the British allow them to go peaceably, they will contribute no less than two million soldiers to any war the British wish to fight (which, note, is a figure lower than what India ACTUALLY sent to WW-II).
 * Britain: We will support Greece. Turkey is warned that if they withdraw their troops from Persia, we will not attempt to take it over, we have no objections to your independence but you won't have the rest of the territories with you, an alliance is asked with FRANCE, Spain, USA, Colombia and Brazil.
 * Wait, you mean India gets independence (and no partisan, that wasn't necessary until the 1940s), right? We're not asking for Canada, etc. If India gets independence then the area called Pakistan definitely would because they were considered the same territory until the split in 1948... so that map isn't quite right guys. Also, Spain is in a civil war, which side do you back?
 * I thought Guns was in charge of Britain. Guns is a far better choice than sine.
 * I think the change of players was discussed because Sine was inactive. But perhaps we should put a vote to it. And it'd be helpful if we could sign our posts. ChrisL123 (talk)
 * OK... so if I'm Britain, do I get to keep India? (cos just saying OTL Indians weren't asking for independence in full yet, just Home Rule.
 * Yeah sure, limited home rule and rep. in parliament. Just let's vote on it first. [[Image:IMPERIAL NY-SPQR 1.png|25px]][[Image:Regen Flag.png|30px|border]] Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 17:44, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Might I say that the map was made not for Pakistan if not to say as the territories that if given independence would be under Indian dominion, I just kept Pakistan because I see that Turkey has some pretensions over Persia and so I wanted to keep a base in case of an assault against them, but I was planning that after the war they could be given full independence over the Indian territories including Pakistan under Indian Government right now Sine dei gloriem (talk) 00:37, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * German Diplomacy: Germany would like to buy Transjordan and asks whether the British could sell it to them as it would help the British (and later on German) economy.
 * Wait, don't interact with Britain until we're sure who's playing.
 * Cuba: Cuba expands its military as unrest occurs over a communist protest in Havana.
 * The United States deploys a few troops into Cuba to help put down any communist rebellions.
 * Philippines: Ask the United States to let the Philippines become a commonwealth instead of the current territory status.


 * You can't say that, a territory is a full integral part of the USA and not playable nation, since states and territories are not playable not occupied. (EG: Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines are unplayable, the three US territories.)
 * In 1935, the Philippines was granted Commonwealth status. That two days (one year) from now and if nothing major changes. Besides Korea is part of Japan and India is part of British Empire. So why can't I?
 * I don't want to insult you, but you are the most noobish player in this game yet. Those are conquered and occupied areas. They can revolt. A territory cannot revolt. Read the first turn for crying out loud. It's NOT A COMMONWEALTH YET. And it NEVER WILL BE. States cannot revolt, and they have their own governments. Why should territories be able to revolt? You're a territory and nothing more. Korea and India used to be countries, and the got conquered. Japan and Britain are empires. Do you know what America is? You probably live there. Can Puerto Rico revolt? No. Can Alaska revolt? Not. Can Hawaii revolt? No. A state or territory is part of the USA. In a few years the area will become a state. That did not happen in the Philippines. It's a territory. Read the Wikipedia page dammit.
 * The United States of America (commonly called the United States, the U.S., the USA, America, and the States) is a federal constitutional republic consisting of fifty states and a federal district. I believe that answers your question on what I know about US. If states can't revolt what was the American Revolution or the Civil War for that matter? Did I just make just make those things up? No, I don't believe I did. Beside I'm asking before I just a revolt against the current Government and make a new one. 
 * Who posted the noob comment? Any territory or state of America can revolt. No one can stop them if they want to. What do you think a civil war is?
 * Argentina: The newly created committee for a greater Argentina political party is created and gains much support in the poor quarter and from the military due to the promise of removing the poverty and increased the military budget. In their first legislative election, the party gain enough siege to become the official opposition.
 * You realize that Argentina was under a military regime since 1930 when they removed Hipolito Yrigoyen right? Most of the populace was pro-radicals in that period.
 * Ah, I had forgotten this and if I remember well, the population and the government were pro-German in general.
 * The government was pro-conservative - nearly fascist. It was the military regime of 1943 that was pro-Axis. The people just wanted non-fraud democracy back.
 * Korea: Korean rebels flat out refuse the ceasefire, and continue harassing Japanese forces in the region. They have the support of 99% of the people, which helps them greatly.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The new Japanese government trying to stabilize the economy and its relations with the outside world while preparing for the inevitable war with China and the USSR, decides to maintain the option of diplomacy open continuously offering a ceasefire to discuss the peace full separation of Japan and Korea. To prove the goodwill, troops are ordered to only fight when attacked and even then use restraint and am to wound or incapacitate not kill, they have the former royal family of Korea ask them to cease fighting and enter negotiations (since the royal family had been converted to aristocracy of Japan), and they begin ending long help policies of suppression of Korean culture. Again a request for negotiations is made.
 * Korean Diplomacy: You do realize it's not that simple? You can't undo 30 years of abuse with a few words and paper. The Korean people aren't going to let us stop fighting. And there is really no chance of the royal family going over to the Japanese side, they assassinated their husband, father, son, for crying out loud. We're going to need some serious punishment to go down, some serious people get arrested and executed.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: (The former royal family is asking them to cease fire under threat of harm to themselves - read between the lines it's a forced request) The new regime promises that everything can be negotiated and certain demands made by the Korean people will be met but only after a ceasefire is accepted otherwise the Japanese imperial army will be forced to open use anti-guerrilla tactics which we might lose but it will do even more damage to Korea, and its people. General Ishiwara makes sure to underline the fact that Japanese military brutality is well known especially by the Korean people, cease fire will allow the new regime to finish restraining them but if the army is ordered to fight it will be out of government hands humiliating the Korean people even further then the past 30 years. The choice is negotiations and eventual peaceful separation or a disaster waiting to explode for both sides.
 * Heh. I suppose. I'll talk to my people about it :)
 * Spain: Thanks to Rodriguez's beefing up of the National Guard, the Spanish Civil War is quickly winding down. More and more focus is put on the military build-up and heavy industrialization in progress. We request to station troops in Germany to help with the Jewish problem.
 * German Response: Germany would like to see the conflict in Spain rattle down first, if ya don't mind...
 * Germany: Adolf Hitler rallies his nation with many speeches. In the Victory Column road, over 18 miles have been completed. The road is now a matter of national significance and unity in the nation, with the idea of: "We can be broken up but still become united". Germany's second economic heartland continues construction. However, this is manufacturing tanks and aircraft (Germany here will be stronger 'cause we are already rearming compared to OTL). Germany also pushes for a referendum in the Saarland. Many more miles of the autobahn are built. Car companies also get a much needed reboot as demand for cars increases for the first time since the depression. The companies also begin to manufacture top secret tanks and aircraft. The Dutch continue to be threatened, and seeing as how Germany still needs more men, open campaigning to join the army is begun. This includes building a world class navy again along with an air force no one can match up. However, all German designs are safe and secret and no one can get their hands on them. He continues to ask on buying Transjordan from Britain as the German economy takes a sharp upturn.

1934.5

 * Korea: After much discussion, the Korean Liberation Army agrees to the ceasefire suggested by the Japanese. It is met with outrage by much of the people, but they are still happy to see the Japanese go. Kim Il-Sung, one of the leaders of the KLA takes leadership, and begins the process of systematically improving the Korean interior. They request the Japanese quickly get the hell out of their nation, or the consequences would be dire for both sides.
 * The United States strongly advises Korea to take a neutral stance between Japan and allies and the enemies of Japan lest it be dragged into a large war that could lead to devastation for the Koreans.
 * The Soviet Union asks Korea for a trade agreement and non-aggression pact.
 * Korea agrees to the Soviet Union.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: as per negotiations a withdrawal from Korea begins and a few elder men who were once high level officials in Japan and took part in or headed the Japanese colonialism in Korea along with violent soldiers and administrators who were part of the current colonial administration are sent to Seoul. With that Japanese interests will be fully focused on China.
 * Korea: Korea thanks Japan and hints of a long relationship between the two nations. The men who are sent to Korea by the Japanese are executed in public by beheading, to much cheering from the civilians. The Korean government begins to improve its exterior, as well as its military.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union, seeing that its mission has been completed, SECRETLY tells Korea that it will halt weapon shipments in the beginning of January, but will continue to supply food, water, clothing, and medicine. The SUN Stalin and SUN Lenin are launched from Vladivostok. The two battleships are the first in the new line of Soviet engineering and military equipment. In western Europe, a non-aggression pact is proposed to Germany. The Soviet Union also SECRETLY sends Germany a proposal for a joint invasion of Poland. Construction of defenses along the Finnish-Russo border continue, and tells Finland that the defenses are for defensive purposes only.
 * German Response: The German government see that the Soviets have got the hint and SECRETLY begin negotiations.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey requests the aid of the Soviets in securing lands in Persia to protect our brothers of the faith from Britain. You shall be properly rewarded for your aid.
 * Venezuela continues to build up its military forces and it technological levels while developing its militaristic economy at the same time. The invasion is scheduled to be 1937, so things are very fast paced. They continue to expand the infrastructure, health, and education across the country while hiring more Americans to help with its program.
 * Siam: Military is built up and roads and railways begin to be built in the nation. Prime Minister Phot Phahonyothin welcomes newly independent India and asks them for a trade agreement. Later a few new bridge is planned out to reduce traffic problems when crossing bridges.
 * Japan: Japanese soldiers withdraw to the ports in the peninsula or north into Manchuria to prepare defense of the state. The Japanese offer the Korean rebels the following: they will hand over to the Koreans some of those responsible for the crimes committed in Korea, they will withdraw from Korea, allow Korean independence, but no more aggression to come any Japanese as the regular populace living in Korea shall be allowed to relocate to Manchuria or back to the homeland. The government continues improving the navy with two more aircraft carriers reaching the half way point. A new firearm based on the American Thompson is designed and will be tested to see if it is adopted. designing submarines continues but is slow since Japanese refused to adopt them earlier on. Plans to build new warships of a superior class begins to help maintain Japanese supremacy over the seas in the orient. Japanese agents begin acting in China causing disturbance and incidents framing either the nationalists or the communists to increase the tensions between both factions. Manchuria is declared an independent State (under Japanese control as in our timeline) but more power is granted to Puyi and his ministry to give them more legitimacy and stability.
 * Korea accepts the Japanese offer, and request troops pull out as soon as possible.
 * Yugoslavia: Asks Germany to help in creating a new tank - the panzer 4.5.
 * German Response: The Germans offer to willingly help as long as the designs of the tank remain SECRET.
 * Argentina: The Argentinian dictator is assassinated and a new government who is virtually a dictatorship take power with a rigged election. The military budget is increased and many research to develop weapon is increased. A program to convince the population that the Argentinian are the stronger people in Latin America is started while all the industries are "temporarily" nationalised by the government the time that the economy recovers. A new scholar program is introduced to brainwash the next generation.
 * German Diplomacy: Hitler personally asks for an alliance with Argentina as he states "our two people's ideologies are very similar, and it would be best for both nations to co-operate and be allies."
 * Argentina Diplomacy: we are glad to accept the alliance and we offer you a trade deal to help you to put your nation on its feet.
 * France: The French officially declare war on the Yugoslavians and send troops to Greece. The French government pleads to have a larger international support to keep the independence of the Greeks (an innocent nation), and if the war continues, threatens that Yugoslavia may be dissolved.
 * Sweden: Work continues on the military, despite that future plans may lessen the threat of invasion. Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson accepts the German offer of economic and military alliance, and hopes the offer is still open. He is willing to sell iron ore, which will be useful for the Wehrmacht, but in return, the Swedish Prime Minister asks if the Jewish population be sent up to Sweden, where they will be taken care of. (SECRETLY, the plan is to save as many Jewish civilians as possible, similar to what Denmark did during OTL World War II). We also ask if any allies of Germany is willing to sell oil to Sweden. We also ask Norway, Denmark and Finland, if they wish to join an alliance with Germany, and be safe. (Can Mods do RNG for this? Would Norway, Denmark and Finland join Sweden with Germany?)
 * German Diplomacy: (TBH, there is quite an obvious reason why I want to buy Transjordan from Britain) Germany would gladly say the offer is still open. Germany would send synthetic oil to Sweden in return for iron ore. They are currently unsure about the iron ore.
 * We know. Jews. (and partially Muslims as well.)
 * Not for Muslims. It would be a great propaganda for Hitler about what happens in Transjordan when the Jews are transported there.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We promise that the Iron Ore is the finest in Europe, and that they will help the Heer very well.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany is pleased and promises to send the best artificial rubber and oil in return.
 * Spain: The Civil War finally comes to an end. Spain sends troops to help defend Yugoslavia from French attack, but doesn't declare war on France. Spain also sends a threat to France: pull out of Yugoslavia, or face Spanish invasion. Emperor Rodriguez commissions new tank and aircraft designs for future conflicts. Now can we station troops in Germany to help with the Jewish problem?
 * Didn't the Spanish Civil War start in 1936?
 * This is an alternate timeline. Things don't strictly follow the OTL.
 * Turkey: Turkish forces refuse to stop their invasion, seeking to bring the Muslim world under the Turkish flag. The government states that it shall not bow to the demands of the British invaders and conquerors, and seeks to protect Islam from the British horde. The military undergoes rapid expansion, and requests for help are sent to the Russians, Germans, and French. Also, the Turks SECRETLY provide aid to Indian separatists with the hope of drawing British attention away from Persia. Defenses in Anatolia are built up to prepare the nation for a possible British invasion.
 * Germany: Adolf Hitler rallies his nation with many speeches. In the Victory Column road, over 40 miles have been completed, symbolizing the quickening of the economy. Cars are allowed on the road for the first time and all effort is put to finish the road quicker. In the "Night of the Long Knives", many of Hitler's enemies are killed, but the SA are spared (in OTL they were not) and through careful manipulation are merged into the SS. Germany's second economic heartland continues construction and around a third of the amount of factories compared to the Rhineland have been completed. Many more tanks and aircraft are manufactured. Hitler is also influenced by his cabinet to launch bigger destroyers. Hitler reluctantly agrees, and this help because it leads to unemployment rates to fall even faster. Germany also pushes for a referendum in the Saarland, and makes plans to move into the Rhineland. Many more miles of the autobahn are built. Car companies see a tremendous rise in sales as many people now buys more cars. The revenue from car companies helps to keep the economy growing and consumerism along with outgoing nightclubs make good money. Many "Aryan" women are put through exercises to increase fertility while Jews are rounded up and ready to be shipped soon. The army sees a boom in numbers and numbers surpass 1/4 million.
 * GREECE: accepts UK's alliance proposal as well as an apology for the late response Greece is going to be allowing the UK to have access to Greek resources.

1935.0

 * 1) China's Kuomintang government surrenders northeastern China to the Japanese.
 * 2) Persia, which supports Turkey, asks for an alliance with it.
 * 3) Greece bravely fights for their independence against the Yugoslavs.
 * 4) The independence movement in India continues to gain more support.
 * 5) *​Um - which area exactly are we talking about?
 * 6) *Well, now I believe I have solved that problem. 
 * Korea: Korea continues to improve their interior, as well as the military. A new government is created, with Ministry of Defense, Ministry of the Interior, etc. They ask the Soviet Union for trade relations, as well as the United States. The Korean military also requests that Soviet personnel come in to train them, and asks for warplanes. Korean factories also begin to be built, and reconstruction continues. Vast amounts of minerals are detected in the northern part, and mining is planned for a few years.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: We agree to both requests.
 * Korean Diplomacy: We thank the Soviet government and begin training immediately.
 * Venezuela continues its program with the planned invasion two years away. More modern naval ships, tanks, modern guns, and airplanes have been added to the army. The American specialists have helped improve the governmental, economical, and social structure of the country. They continue to spread infrastructure, education, and health, building roads, schools, hospitals, sewer systems, and the like. They spread propaganda towards the people of that they must support the growing country in order to have its place in the sun.
 * Japan: The new regime under Ishiwara continues to pull the army into central control and keep them on a tight leash for better management. More funds go to industrial production and the creation of public transport, mainly rail lines. The latest aircraft carriers are nearly completed. designs on the new class of battleships continue, as do the plans to create a submarine force. Massive efforts are put to industrialize backward areas of Japan and Manchuria. The weapon design for a sub-machine gun based on the Thompson is approved and testing begins, plans to create new tank and rifle designs are also put forward. The integration of the air force and the imperial navy continues. Japanese agents continue causing problems in china and the military starts gearing up to intervene in the Chinese civil war to bring it back to stability (I'm not going to conquer China. I will take a few areas but it is logistically impossible for any nation to conquer China due to sheer numbers. only a massive alliance would be able to conquer the Han :( But hey, I can still make a series of puppet states). Japanese efforts to improve their image abroad continues and the nation will hold elections for the Diet in a year and a half. The communist party is barred from participation. The Japanese set up an embassy in Bangkok and start taking a slight economic interest in the Dutch East Indies. Japanese naval forces continue operations in the North Pacific to protect Japanese waters and territories. The training of the Japanese army is modified to train them in warfare based on modern tactics and realistic scenarios rather then on nationalistic ideals and symbolism.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues constructing defenses along the Finnish-Soviet border. Drilling for oil in the region of Stalingrad begins, and the mining of minerals begin in Siberia. Meanwhile, saboteurs begin to carry out operations in Latvia, Estonia, and cause chaos in the country. Pro-Soviet leaflets are dropped over the two countries, promoting that life under the Soviet Union would be much better than as an independent nation. The Soviet Air Force continues to construct aircraft, and teaching their pilots about flying low above the water to keep out of range of the guns of enemy warships. The Soviet Air Force also teaches its pilots about night and daytime bombing runs against industrial and civilian targets. The Soviet Navy begins to construct its first submarine, while research on anti-submarine methods continue. The Soviet Army begins to design a sub-machine gun similar to the MP-40, but to fit the style of Russian guns. The Soviet Department of Research and Development begins to design a new tank - the T-34, and construction begins on the Soviet Union's first aircraft carrier.
 * France: The attack on Yugoslavia continues, and the nation is urged to end its attack. As well, the government begins funding military expansion in greater amounts in order to better ensure the defeat of the Yugoslavs. The French are appalled at the German support, and warns that militarization at the Rhine may ensure war. As well, tensions rise in the Middle East as Mandatory Syria and Lebanon face rebellion for independence, and officials consider creating a if the rebellions worsen.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government requests that it be allowed to purchase economic privileges in French Indochina to help develop the region and to gain access to the areas resources to help Japanese industry. The deal would be to benefit both France and Japan with 60% of all earnings going to France. This would allow a lessening of economic burden to the French.
 * French Diplomacy: The French reluctantly agree to the purchase, and announce the money will be going towards the military. Many Frenchman return to mainland France.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union asks to purchase the southern half of Sakhalin from the Japanese.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese Government refuses to sell even one part of Japanese territory.
 * Argentina: The military continues to grow and be upgraded with all the most advanced technologies available, a small navy also began to take be built with the quality advantaged over the number. Many projects to make the air force and military force in general stronger began. Germany and Venezuela are asked for support to develop better weapons. The new internal policy already began to bear fruit as the economies are recovering faster, thanks to the military production.
 * German Response: Argentina is given slightly older but still very useful tank designs and plans. Along with this, personnel arrive to train the Argentine army to German standards. Plans are also made to sign the Axis Pact (yes, secret).
 * Siam: Military continues being built up and roads and railways begin to be built in the nation. An embassy is set up in Tokyo. Meanwhile, few bridges begin construction.
 * UK: Seeing the rise of Germany, the UK leaders know that they cannot afford internal disputes, so at a conference, Gandhi, Nehru, Chamberlain, and the Viceroy of India, along with a few others, negotiate a Home Rule settlement (which is all that was wanted till WW-II, and even then just because they saw that the Brits weren't even going to grant them that). This essentially means that India has free will in internal affairs- they have their own police force, their own laws - but in external affairs, behave like a British colony. The German offer is refused. Meanwhile, George V (or is it IV?) falls extremely sick, after a minor heart attack. Prince Edward is readied for the throne... but there is a scandal here... Also, it is announced that there will NOT REPEAT NOT be an attack on Turkey. Danny Boy, this is Broadsword.... (who gets that reference?)
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Empire of Japan requests a rapprochement with the British. The main point behind this is to gain a solid non-aggression pact and possible alliance in the future with the British once the cards start coming into play, and to gain access to the resources in South East Asia not through gaining control over the region but through economic cooperation between the British and the Japanese.
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: Argentina ask Britain if we could buy the Falkland islands.
 * UK: Refuses, but agrees to a referendum (and since the majority of the population is British... This RNG should be some 1-7 no, 8-10 yes.)
 * I did the RNG (Pita) and it was 66 (out of 100) so no.
 * So they stay with us Brits? (the opposite is actually really implausible...)
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese government requests a response from the U.K.
 * UK Diplomacy: Yes to the Non-aggression, no to the alliance, and resource control will remain firmly British.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The government stated that it only wishes to move forward with friendly relations with the British, and requests that Japanese business men be allowed access to Malaysia and Hong Kong.
 * UK Diplomacy: Not Hong Kong. Malaysia.
 * German Diplomacy: The Germans ask desperately for Transjordan and state that they will now take the responsibility of sorting the area out (it was quite unstable at that time and remained so until 1948).
 * Brazil: An alliance is asked with the US, UK, Venezuela and Argentina, socialist parties are funded by Getulio Vargas and a Brazilian supremacy propaganda is spread throughout the nation.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: Japan accepts the British offer of Malaysia only.
 * Argentina Diplomacy: We gladly accept the alliance.
 * Sweden: Conscription and training for defence continues in Sweden, from all sides, in case a military partnership collapses, and any side, even Norwegian or Danish, attacks us. We have no problem with the Soviets building defense fortifications along the Finnish border, as long as they are for DEFENSE only. The military increases spending to 5% of the federal GDP. (In OTL [Swedish History Lesson, prepare to get schooled], Sweden was badly armed, and not ready for World War I or II, it is known that the country wouldn't have survived a German, Soviet or even British Invasion, hence why the Swedish used their iron ore to sell to Germany, to avoid invasion. They wouldn't increase spending until the Cold War, where they became a very powerful military for their size, in case they are ever invaded, and today, is considered one of the best military for the country's relatively low numbers, there was even a joke during World War II, that soldiers were more likely to bring their own hunting rifles, compared to outdated Mausers from the 1890's, that Ag m/42 were made on the spot to make better service rifles, which were discovered to have their own problems a decade later. Anyways, thanks for letting me share my knowledge of Sweden's military). The Nordic Battle Group is formed between Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. It is expected that the country will be fully prepared for an all-out war, in case another country, like Britain or France, attacks us. (I resign as Sweden, and will pick another country; anyone who wants an improved military, pick Sweden and you'll thank me.)
 * Germany: Adolf Hitler celebrates the completion of the Victory Column Road, 50 miles long, and gives a huge rallying speech. Germany's second economic heartland continues construction and around a half of the amount of factories compared to the Rhineland have been completed. Many more tanks and aircraft are manufactured. The first of Germany's battleships is launched. Germany also pushes for a referendum in the Saarland, and moves into the Rhineland and rightfully adds it back to their country. Many more miles of the autobahn are built. Car companies see a tremendous rise in sales as many people now buys more cars. The revenue from car companies helps to keep the economy growing and consumerism along with outgoing nightclubs make good money. A huge Aryan baby boom happens. The army sees a boom in numbers and numbers surpass 1/2 million. An alliance is also proposed to Hungary. All of the Rhineland's factories begin to reach full production again. Propaganda leaflets are dropped into Western Poland and Danzig along with the Sudetenland and Czech portion of Czechoslovakia which have traditionally been German.

1935.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to improve their interior, as well as amp up their military. Trading is started with the Soviet Union, and with Japan in secret. Korea continues reconstruction, as well as building up their merchant navy. They hope to have a good economy by 1940. They also begin to build a public transportation system, comprised of buses at this point. They hope to have a train system set up by the end of two decades.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union finishes the construction of its defensive border along the Finnish-Soviet border. Drilling for oil in the Stalingrad region continues, and begins to produce its own oil, and no longer relying on other sources. Saboteurs continue operations in Latvia and Estonia, and delivering of the Pro-Soviet Leaflets over the two nations continue. The Soviet Union continues to construct aircraft for its Air Force, and teaching the pilots about flying low over the water and daylight and night time bombing operations against Civilian and Industrial targets. The Soviet Navy launches its first submarine in the Baltic Sea, and research on anti-submarine methods continue. The development of the T-34 Heavy tank and the sub-machine gun similar to the MP40 continues. Construction on the first Soviet carrier continues, and the two battleships are greeted by a third battleship, the Leningrad.
 * Argentina: The military buildup continues and the military engineers are ordered to develop a new generation of planes and naval vessels. Germany is tell in SECRET that we are not ready to sign the pact but that we may join in time of opportunity. The assimilation of the population to the fascist ideology began to show some success and the government invited Venezuela and Brazil to a secret meeting to discuss the division of South America, a German given tank begun to be dismounted to gain access to some technology.
 * Venezuela continues to make military preparations. They begin building defenses at the Colombian border. Meanwhile, the country continues to spread and support the growth of infrastructure, industry, health, education, and propaganda. They continue to hire numerous experts from the United States in order to help aid the growth and modernization of the economy, military, and the government. New social reforms break the discriminatory barrier between genders and ethnicities. They ask Brazil for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Japan: The Japanese continue their modernization and advancement of the armed forces and the Arisaka 35 is designed (same thing as OTL Arisaka type 99 rifle) and it is approved for production and distribution. Japanese influence over the civil war in China continues to grow as more incidents occur throughout southern China being blamed on one side or another, creating further tensions in Cjoma. Divisions are moved to Manchuria and to Taiwan to eventually launch a two pronged strike on China to "restore order and peace to the Han nation". The industrial complex continues to grow and now with more resources coming into the nation thanks to Japanese economic influence in Indochina the economy begins growing more. Japanese businesses open in several areas of the French colony to export the abundance of natural resources there and the Japanese try to make good relations with the locals. Railways continue to be built throughout the empire and the State of Manchuria to improve transportation and the future movement of troops as well. New tanks based on more modern designs are made being slightly inferior to Soviet and German tanks but far more mobile and far better then anything the Chinese can produce. The navy continues expansion and three more aircraft carriers are put forward for construction while the new battleships are finally designed and put forward for construction (based on the OTL Yamato class). Designing of submarines continues. The economy is slowly being pushed into a war economy to prepare for the war in China.
 * Just letting you know, battleships went obsolete soon after World War II.
 * They didn't become obsolete. They were just replaced by the aircraft carrier as a major part of a fleet. Battleships continued to operate in 1991, and provided fire support and cruise missiles since the end of World War II. Enclavehunter (talk) 01:46, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * battleships simply were replaced by more modern warships, but battleships still were a major factor in the Pacific war next to the plane and the submarine. Nkbeeching 
 * With the rise of air power, guided missiles, and guided bombs, large guns were no longer deemed necessary to establish naval superiority and as a result battleships faded from use. (Quote from Wikipedia)
 * After World War II, several navies retained their existing battleships, but they were no longer strategically dominant military assets. Indeed, it soon became apparent that they were no longer worth the considerable cost of construction and maintenance and only one new battleship was commissioned after the war, HMS Vanguard. (Quote from Wikipedia)
 * I'll simply decommission then at a later time and eventually replace them but for the moment battleships are important especially since I will remain close to the coast as much as possible.
 * Hungary: The Treaty of Trianon had left Hungary in a very painful position, having lost much of its land and population, and having lost access to the sea. Romania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia had fed off the corpse of the Hungarians' loss. It was embarrassing, and brought Hungary's power to a screeching halt. The Treaty forced the Kingdom to limit its armed forces to 35,000, forbade conscription, tanks and an air force. Britain, France, Italy, Romania and all the other countries repeatedly kicked this country around over and over again. Miklós Horthy, Regent of Hungary, heard all the demands of an angry and dying country. Romania has repeatedly threatened the Hungarians far too many times, now it is the time when the Dog of the Magyars bite back. Horthy puts funding into civilian air flying clubs, who have been flying privately owned planes, and is willing a good salary (by 1930's Hungarian standards) for those who bring their clubs together to form the Magyar Királyi Honvéd Légierő (Royal Hungarian Air Force), where factories are SECRETLY built in Central Hungary. In order to accomplish the building of the Air Force, we ask Germany, if we can buy 20 Heinkel He-45 light bombers, along with blueprints (which will be kept secret, so that no one may grab the blueprints) to build a domestic model. We will also order ten Dornier Do-11 medium bombers from Germany, along with 50 Heinkel He-51 biplane fighters. There are plans in development to build a domestic model for heavy/night fighters, medium bombers and heavy bombers, which will be funded by aviation companies that will be set up by the Crown, with plans to have an Air Force fleet of 100 by 1937, and if things go to plan, a fleet of 500 by 1940. Also, the Regent plans to bring Conscription into work, with promises of jobs for women, while men will do their work for the military, regardless of what the oppressors think, though, this is kept a low-key as possible, in order to avoid alerting the enemies.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Meanwhile, few bridges continue construction. Plans for a tall building, to be called Khāsāmi (คาซามิ) Tower for now, (OTL ), is under way and is planned to be built next year.
 * UK: Refuses Germany's offer. A battle cruiser, the HMS Sirrus (#alistairmaclean) is produced, along with the HMS Majestic. In preparation for possible war, the air fleets of Britain are replaced with new Spitfires, Mossies, Hurricanes, and more modern planes. Chamberlain has a vote of no confidence, and is replaced by Churchill as PM, Anthony Eden as Minister of War, and Lord Halifax as Home Minister.
 * Why would Chamberlain have a vote of no confidence when he was very popular-pre war up til 1938?
 * Bulgaria: A new Nationalist party has been gaining clout in Bulgaria called the Bulgarian National Front, it garners popularity due to its leaders charisma and populist policies as well as its new campaign techniques that seem alien to the other parties, King Boris III has been keeping an eye on these Nationalists who have already brought parliament back to power and who seem ready to seize power in Parliament and take power from him. The next elections in 1936 could produce interesting results. Under strain from the Nationalists, the Prime Minister asks Turkey for a Non-Aggression Pact and also asks Germany for a Trade Agreement that would allow greater investment in the Bulgarian Economy and therefore would also pave the way for other political initiatives with Germany. The Current Parliament is heavily divided on economic policy and so the action needed to drive Bulgaria forwards falters and no economic progress is made. Education proves to be better than ever and outmatches a lot of places in Europe and is considered the best in the Balkans except for Yugoslavia which it is considered to be roughly equal with. The educated Bulgarians produce a lot of people with more liberal and communist ideals however which causes internal problems. Trade is considered a large problem and the state is under great strain to produce a proper trade policy.
 * Italy: Italy begins a massive army, naval, marine, and air force buildup while industrialization and modernization begins in both Italy and Libya. Construction of infrastructures begin as well in Libya and Italy.
 * Guys? Is this.. plausible?
 * I fixed it
 * German Diplomacy: Germany asks for better relations between our two great Fascist nations and increased trading.
 * Argentina D: Italy is ask for a trade pact.
 * National Socialism isn't fascism, it was one of histories greatest mistakes caused by various social factors, facism was an social experiment that had some potential, but the two ideologies were fairly different in many ways, Nazism was a superstitial cliche and his book my struggle is bull. pardon my aggressiveness. Nkbeeching 
 * France: Troops continue to help the Greeks in repelling the attacks, and deny any requests to stop. The Yugoslavs are once again warned that if lost, France will ensure their dissolution into smaller states and the possibility of a Serbian protectorate. (Just a note, it'd be great if an algorithm could be started on this). As well, naval efforts are funded greatly from the profits of Indochina, and hope to better attack the Yugoslav coast. As well, the French propose to create a referendum to the Syria, to either become a republic or to remain a protectorate by the next year.
 * Bulgarian Diplomacy: Bulgarian politicians manage to persuade the King to allow them to pursue diplomatic ties with France. They SECRETLY offer to help France and Greece against Yugoslavia utilising their current position to open the Serbian homeland up for attack, they will accomplish this through allowing French troops as well as vehicles and aircraft to move through their land and their troops which have superior training compared to their Yugoslav counterparts. In return Bulgaria asks for the return of occupied Bulgarian land claims under Yugoslav control and for Frances support in lifting the military restrictions on Bulgaria.
 * Spain: Emperor Rodriguez identifies Portugal as the first target for invasion, but keeps these plans SECRET. Spain continue assisting Yugoslavia in their struggle against France, delivering supplies and ammunition, but Rodriguez still refuses to declare war on France, out of fear of invasion. Heavy industrial and military build-up continues, and Spanish troops go on stand-by in the event of war.
 * German Response: Germany, seeing how Spain has finally stabilized, allows Spaniard troops to enter Germany. However, these troops will also be secretly trained to be better and equal German standards in an event of a war.
 * Turkey: The war in Persia goes well with the capture of several cities in the nation. The development of military continues with the reorganization of the navy, and several new railroads and buildings are constructed. The capital of Ankara is heavily modernized with the laying down of a city grid on the outskirts of the capital.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union SECRETLY supports Turkey against Persia.
 * The New Deal keeps progressing faster and faster. FDR manages to get 15 Justices in the Supreme Court as he wanted OTL. The SSA is signed into law. Parking meters built in OKC. The game Monopoly is introduced. The NLRA also becomes law. Hoover Dam finished. Elvis and Jess Presley are born. (Not important, I know, but I just want to see both of them alive.) President Roosevelt begins campaigning for re election.
 * I want everyone to remember that the 1936 Games open next year in Berlin and Garmitsch-Parkinterschen. Imp, better mention 'em. Also, I'd like to appoint myself Mod of Olympics (Fuhrer der Olympics?) if everyone agrees.
 * Go for it- Pita
 * Germany: Germany's second economic heartland continues construction and a large amount of factories compared to the Rhineland have been completed. Many more tanks and aircraft are manufactured, with M-109s and M-110s also becoming widely manufactured. The huge German air force is revealed to the world this year, and it is the largest in the world. The second German battleship is launched. Germany re-occupies the Saarland after the voting received them well. Many more miles of the autobahn are built. Car companies see a tremendous rise in sales as many people now buys more cars. The revenue from car companies helps to keep the economy growing and consumerism along with outgoing nightclubs make good money. A huge Aryan baby boom continues. The army sees a boom in numbers and numbers surpass 3/4 million. An alliance with Hungary is established. All of the Rhineland's factories begin to reach full production again. Propaganda leaflets are continuously dropped into Western Poland and Danzig along with the Sudetenland and Czech portion of Czechoslovakia which have traditionally been German. Germany tries to force the Czechs to let the Sudetenland population decide their government and give them autonomy.

1936

 * Korea: Korea continues to improve their infrastructure as well as their military. Hospitals, schools, etc are built all over the nation. They also express their interest in any future Olympic games.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Meanwhile, few bridges continue construction and Khāsāmi (คาซามิ) Tower begins construction too. Harbours are improved.
 * Korean Diplomacy: Korea offers a free-trade deal with Siam as well as a military and economic alliance.
 * Siam Diplomacy: Prime Minister Phot Phahonyothin accepts Korea's offer of a free-trade deal, and military-economic alliance.


 * Argentina: The military build up continue in all branches and a mandatory draft is created to create a powerful army. Many social reforms began to be passed to increase the education level and the health care service. The dictator announce in a speech that the Falkland islands will be one day annexed in Greater Argentina.
 * UK D: Laughs and informs Argentina that they are over matched. Half the British army is larger than yours. And yours are equipped with weaponry nowhere close as advanced as ours, because due to your pro-Hitler policies neither America, Britain or France will trade with you arms, and Germany wasn't as advanced in weaponry yet. That wasn't till the late 1930s, like 39, 40.
 * Argentina response: we will bid our time and one day, even if it is in three decades, it will happen,(dictator speech ;))
 * UK: We would like top inform you of what would happen in a Falklands war. Our historians and generals have devised such a scenario.
 * Brazil: Getulio Vargas continues the setting of the Syndicates, while this occurs, Venezuela's alliances, and he sees a Greater nation, a greater Brazil, initiates Building and updating the Military, it also SECRETLY asks Argentina to discuss a joint invasion of Paraguay and Uruguay. The border with Peru is fortified as preparation for war,
 * Argentina secret D: we accept the invitation.
 * UK: secretly offers help in taking over ALL South America (except the Falklands).
 * Brazil: We agree, if the Argentinians do it as well we would gladly accept your help.
 * Spain: More and more Spanish soldiers are sent to Germany. Meanwhile, domestic production shifts into overdrive, as Emperor Rodriguez orders more and more goods be sold to Germany. Spain sends over 200 athletes to Berlin to compete in the 1936 Olympic Games. The Spanish Armada begins patrolling the coast of Portugal, looking for gaps in defense in anticipation of the future invasion. Only Spain and Germany know of the invasion plans, and keep the plans top-secret from every other nation.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to drill for oil in the Stalingrad region, and SECRET plans to launch an invasion of Finland begin. The Soviet Air Force continues to manufacture aircraft and bombers, as well as bombs to fit them in. The Soviet Army finishes its designs of the MP40 style gun, and calls it the SA (Soviet Arms) - 1 sub-machine gun. The T-34 is also finished, and manufacturing of the new tanks begin. The Soviet Navy is half-way finish with its new carrier, and construction seashore defenses along the eastern coast of Russia - particularly around Vladivostok - continues. The Soviet Union continues to send saboteurs into Latvia and Estonia, and spreading of pro-Soviet leaflets continues. Plans to invade the two Baltic nations begin in SECRET, and SECRET military support is sent to Turkey against Persia. Athletes are sent to Berlin for the 1936 Olympics.
 * World Event: The 1936 Summer Olympics open in Berlin, Germany, and the 1936 Winter Olympics open in Garmitsch-Parkinterschen. Both involve massive displays of Aryan Wehrmacht members and Aryan athletes goose stepping in the opening ceremonies. Despite Hitleric efforts, several blacks, handicapped and JEWS win medals. One of them is a handicapped black Jew. Take that yon Fuhrer!
 * Nein, Niemals!!
 * Venezuela becomes increasingly more fascist and decides to align itself with more fascist countries. It asks Germany and Spain for an alliance and trade agreements. The country continues to make invasion preparations, constructing defenses, training the military, and spreading propaganda. The oil reserves help fuel the country's economy and the funds are used to help expand the economy to make war materials and civilian goods as well as expand and upgrade the military. The country begins building a large, modern navy as well as an air force to catch up with the other Western countries as they have had them.
 * German Response: Venezuela's alliance offer is accepted and the German Fuhrer personally thanks the government for supporting the fascist cause.
 * Hungary: Plans are finished for a heavy fighter plane design, called the M-36 Vihar, which can travel long distances, and in all types of weather, rain or snow, and the first batch of 30 are expected to be ready by the end of the year. Impressed with the tanks of the Wehrmacht and the Soviet Army, the Royal Hungarian Army are developing a new type of tank, developed by bus developer, Ikarus, which begins work on military vehicles, including the (Páncélozott Autó- Armoured Car) Ikarus PA-36 armoured vehicle that has amphibious properties, and can be driven in heavy snow and other cold weather, with a massive order of 500 planned. The (Magyar Tartály- Hungarian Tank) Ikarus MT-37 is planned to be produced, starting next year, with 200 medium tanks to be produced. We wish to buy as many spare Panzer I tanks that are available from Germany, along with a pre-order on about 100. The Royal Hungarian Army already has over 200,000 men recruited for warfare, many eager to get revenge, especially as nationalism reaches an all time high. Prime Minister Gyula Gömbös, is making Hungary into a Fascist state, against King Horothy's wishes. However, considering the future potential of a powerful Hungary, unlike OTL, he allows the Prime Minister to do what he wishes, not aware that the Prime Minister may be dying from cancer soon.
 * Bulgaria: The elections of 1936 end with the Bulgarian Nationalist Front and the Bulgarian Communist Party winning the most seats. This new found political power is used by the Bulgarian National Front in an alliance with the Popular Bloc to pressure the king to give the power to rule back to Parliament and is promised that this would not mean he would lose power but he would become more like a President than simply controlling the Prime Minister, they also promise to get rid of the anti-monarchist factions. At first Boris III refuses and resists the pressure however caves in after a few months due to nationalist shows of power (such as parades, rallies and the like) where the leader, Alexander Daskalov, proclaims that the King was considering giving the Bulgarian Nationalist Party the chance to obtain the position of Prime Minister, politically trapping the King and forcing his hand. Daskalov sets out the economic policy, setting up a Corporatist like system of operation, business owners benefit from his pro-Corporation policies and mining increases and the chance for heavy industry opens up as well as reinforcing current industry. The Government also sets up a work scheme to build huge roads around the country, while not as ambitious as German road building efforts they would give the country a faster method of transporting goods. Along with this Daskalov creates a register for people to sign-up for military service, he aims to have 500,000 signatories as soon as possible. Meanwhile he changes the education policy, forcing a more nationalist view to be taught in schools and also sets out contracts for new military aircraft to replace the currently outdated ones. The Army moves to the border with Yugoslavia.
 * 500,000? I don't know the figures, but is that possible?
 * Well, in WW-I they raised an army of one million. So, yeah?
 * Yugoslavia: Asks Germany to enter the Yugoslavian-Greek war on the side of Yugoslavia meanwhile the panzer 4.5 is done testing and the first prototypes are being sent to the front.
 * German Response: Advises the Yugoslavians to pull out as a war in Greece is fruitless (what he is secretly' telling is that there will be another chance).
 * UK: King George V dies of a stroke, leaving Edward as king. However, as Edward has already married a non Britisher, he cannot become king. After a skillful piece of political maneuvering, the Duke of York (Edward's brother) is proclaimed King George VI. Edward is sent off to Sweden. Meanwhile, plans are stolen for Germany's top fighter plane, and it is put into production. Air squadrons continue to be replaced. The Home Fleet begins patrols of the English Channel. With India appeased, concentration shifts to the African colonies. Of these, those in the Center of Africa alone are freed. In South Africa segregation is eliminated, though to some dissent. In India, Nehru is named Viceroy. Gandhi, meanwhile, had gone to South Africa to eliminate segregation, and was the reason it was lifted.
 * Bulgarian Diplomacy: Bulgaria asks the UK for assistance with its need for new aircraft, whether this is in the form of a design team to help create planes designed specifically for Bulgaria or whether this is through a production license on British planes is up to the UK. They also ask that the UK consider protecting their old ally of Greece from Yugoslav invasion.
 * UK: We have sent 10,000 troops to Greece. We agree to send designs to the Spitfire Mk I and II as well as the Hurricane Mk I. This is in exchange for an alliance.
 * Bulgarian Diplomacy: Bulgaria thanks the UK for its support both in Greece and for its assistance in building the Bulgarian military, they gladly join in an alliance.
 * Implausible, how can you gain access to our tech if we are secretly developing them with heavy protection? Plus, we would take this as an act of violence against Germany.
 * Besides, Britain's planes were far, far more advanced than the Germans. -Pita
 * Iran (Persia): Reza Shah begins to rally the people of Persia, calling out a total defense of the sacred Persian Lands, which Turkey has defiled by their greedy ambitions, to control the Muslim World throughout violent and unneeded ways. Militias are raised in major cities and are quickly organized for counter-attacks, Persian Armored Vehicles prepare to launch various "stab" counter-offensives. Reza Shah calls for the international world to intervene in the unjustified Turkish Invasion.
 * Brazil: we offer help in fighting back the Turkish Invasion.
 * Turkey: The Turkish Air Force is ordered to begin to bombing the Persian armored formations, exploiting their near complete control of the skies. The Turkish grounds forces in the Persian Caucaus are ordered to begin moving on the towns, and given orders to pound the cities with the heavy artillery to weaken any partisan forces they may encounter. The secret aid provided by the Soviets is critical to the Turkish war effort, and the speed in which Turkish men sign up for military for the jihad of unification is even more important, as the Turks are able to maintain their presence in Persia. An additional 175,000 men are sent into Persia to reinforce the men there, and several thousands of tanks fresh from the factories of Ankara and Istanbul make their debut on the battlefield.
 * Romania: Builds up military. Asks for Alliance with Germany. Wishes to be coloured its own colour on the map. Builds up naval vessels and begins making armoured divisions.
 * Greece proposes an alliance with Romania and Germany as to trade and evolve its military structure into a variable in the war their leader gives a political and informative speech to convince the country.
 * Greece: becomes a neutral country and is open to all negotiations and has revoked its alliance proposal
 * Romania: Accepts Greece's alliance request. Romania sends soldiers into Yugoslavia, because Greece is at war.
 * Greece: fortifies its defences and sends a small to medium fighting force to combat Yugoslavia's invading forces. Greece also thanks Romania for the alliance and relies on them to defend the country
 * Romania: Asks for a military alliance with Bulgaria to help fight of the Yugoslavians. This will bring all three countries of Romania, Greece and Bulgaria closer in relation. Do you accept this proposal?

1936.5

 * Korea: Korea continues to amp up their military, as well as improve their interior and relations with other nations. Their merchant fleet continues to be expanded, and heavy trading with Siam occurs. The Korean economy jumps very drastically.
 * Romania: Dramatically increases military and invades Yugoslavia with almost all of the Romanian army. Romania is still waiting for a response from Bulgaria and Germany. Romania begins researching military tactics.
 * Bulgarian Diplomacy: Bulgaria accepts the alliance offer and agrees to declare war on Yugoslavia, sending mainly their advanced air force to take out the weaker Yugoslav fighters and bombers and armoured units.
 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Meanwhile, few bridges and Khāsāmi (คาซามิ) Tower continue construction. The Thai Rung automobile manufacture is founded.
 * Japan: (Sorry - I was without internet for a few days. There was an accident with the company that provides it. The whole city was without. Trade begins in earnest with Siam and Korea. The government reforms occur and Elections are held. A liberal-industrialist majority is formed and they allow the current plans put forward by the military to go forward. The military now under tighter control begins skirmishing the Chinese across the Manchurian border. The Arisawa T99 (type 99 in real life one of the few good weapons produced by the Japanese in WW-II) is put into production and distribution as well along with the Ariska 35 (based on the Thompson gun). Looking for a casus bellus the military executes several pro-communist Japanese and drops their bodies in Shanghai using agents active in China leave evidence that it was the work of Chinese nationalists. The Japanese public becomes informed a few weeks later with the information of them being communists left out, while expressing the blatant brutality that Chinese have towards Japanese, their is a nationwide outcry and the Japanese government demands that the culprits be handed over within the next six months or Japan will become involved in the Chinese civil war to help restore order and stability to the region. Infrastructure continues expansion. The Yamato class battleship begins undergoing construction and will be completed by late 1938. Plans are made to turn Formosa in a prefecture of Japan and make the colony a part of the homeland due to a rising economic importance of the island and its growing Japanese population.
 * Italy: construction of industry, roads, railways, and military bases continues throughout Libya and the Italian heartland. The navy is upgraded to modern technology while a new ship is designed called the Airtank Carrier, the ship has watertight compartments to help keep the ship from sinking and has huge elevators to dump cargo overboard in case of emergency. It is designed to carry 15 fighters and 13 bombers as well as 45 of the latest tanks and 250 infantry. There are five decks, each one is watertight when sealed while the top deck can also be sealed in case of storms. The exterior of the ship is three hulls made of the strongest steel in Italy. Artillery are built into the sides of the ship and stored on the second deck so they can rise to the top deck in case the ship is under attack. The first Airtank Carrier is launched, and it is named the IES Mussolini.
 * Iran: Iran calls out for international intervention in the Turkish Invasion of Iran, calling it unfair and unjustified. The Persian Leader once more rallies his forces, and with the advise of his military generals, gathers Persian Forces in the south, and begin counterattacking to retake Persian Territory, while northern forces take defense in mountainous areas, engaging the more organized Turkish Forces with frequent ambushes, engaging in guerrilla warfare.
 * Bulgarian Diplomacy: Bulgaria declares support for Iran and asks for support from its allies against Turkey on the international stage, they offer an alliance with Iran and send it grains in its trade vessels to help feed the Iranian people.
 * Brazil: we will help in any mean we can to defend the eternal Persia and we would like to apply into the alliance with Bulgaria, Romania and Greece.
 * Persian D: Thanks Bulgarian support, accepting its alliance and thankful for the grain. It also thanks Brazilian support.
 * Bulgarian Diplomacy: Bulgaria accepts the alliance offer from Brazil.
 * Turkey: The Turkish military forces are ordered to begin their push to Tehran, while the relieved force is told to hold their positions and mop up any remaining Persian forces in the mountainous regions. The air force is critical to the effort of destroying Persian armored forces, and permit safe passage for the Turkish forces and their own tanks. The government approves a number of economic projects in Turkey, and seeks to improve a number of vital roads in the country. Additionally, Italian aid to the conflict has been used to push deeper into Persian territory
 * NO. Even with Italian help, this doesn't work. The Persians are stronger than you in EVERY way. They just underwent militarization and industrialization since 1925 under their shah. They have a population around 5-10 million higher. You, meanwhile, have not undergone any such industrialization or militarization efforts - maybe for the the last two years, but before that? Why am I not surprised, Viva?
 * Persia wasn't an industrialized nation before 1927, when the last dynasty of shahs was established. The Turks had an industrialized nation since before the turn of the century. And more so is the fact that Turkey had two and a half million more people than Persia beforehand, and the Persian military non-existent up until the 1930s. Please do your research before saying this. From Wikipedia: "When the Pahlavi dynasty came through power the Qajar dynasty was already weak from years of war with Russia. The standing Persian army was almost non-existent." In comparison to the Turkish military: "In 1938, the Turkish Army at peacetime strength consisted of 174,000 soldiers and 20,000 officers forming 11 army corps, 23 divisions, one armoured brigade, three cavalry brigades and seven frontier commands."
 * Let's see how the algorithm plays out. Enclavehunter (talk) 21:50, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, the Turkish might have had more power but with its dissolution in 1920 you fell right back in the same status to them so I don't think Turkey could invade them
 * Turkey got its independence in 1922, five years before Persia. Turkey was industrialized, Persia was not. Turkey had a larger population and better trained military. They fought two superpowers and a regional power (Britain, France, and Greece), after 1920 and won. Persia did the same in during WWII (against Britain and the USSR), during its so-called "prosperous era", and lost. Your point about Turkey after 1920 has been beaten already, and has little bearing on the fact that 16 years have past since the Ottoman defeat. Ataturk did a better job modernizing Turkey than the Shah of Iran, and the fact that I've expanded Turkey's military in two years does nothing to the fact that even in OTL, Turkey was stronger than Persia. It always was and always will be. It had more soldiers OTL and ATL, and was already industrialized during WWI, while Persia was not. That is a common fact. So yes, Turkey was stronger the Persia. 
 * WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! Wikipedia actually says that the Persian Qajar dynasty was overthrown in 1925, with replacement by Reza Shah the same bloody year. AND they were WORKING FLAT OUT FROM 1925 TO 1941 TO INDUSTRIALIZE. I wouldn't normally be pissed about this kind of thing, but ALL of your facts are incorrect. Because A) your puny army of 175,000 was Dwarfed by the UK army of 9 million, the French army of 4 million, and others of this sort. Basically? Bye bye. And B) there were no actual British or French troops involved, far as I can see. And Turkey may be slightly more powerful than Greece, but Persia is a WHOLE nother story.
 * I'm not talking about the Greco-Turkish War, I'm talking about the Turkish War of Independence. And there was this wonderful man by the name of Ataturk who spent his entire administration modernizing Turkey. Persia still had a small population, smaller industrial base, and smaller army. Persia had 40,000 troops at the beginning of WWII. Turkey had 137,000. The British army was spread across the globe, and by the time of Indian independence, only had 200,000 troops in India. Most of the British and French armies were bolstered by groups such as the Indians, Nepali, Senegalese, and Algerians, not by the British or French themselves. And the Soviets and Italians are on my side. The Soviets had an army that dwarfed the British and French armies combined, and the Italians still had a large enough army to face down the French (who oddly enough with all of their soldiers still lost to the numerically smaller German forces). And from Wikipedia: "By mid-1939 the Army consisted of 230,000 Regulars and 453,000 Territorials and Reservists." By the end of 1938, the British army was only a million strong. I don't know where you got nine million from. And surprise fact about Turkey. It was ALREADY INDUSTRIALIZED. So Persia working to industrialize, could not be more power than Turkey which was already industrialized.
 * UK: Condemns Turkish actions. The Air fleets replacement is done, but a new version of the Spitfire, Swordfish, and Hurricane (Mk. IV, Mk. VI and Mk. V, respectively.) is put into action.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to do well economically, with the producing of wheat and the drilling for oil and the mining for minerals does good for the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, the government begins to improve the infrastructure. Meanwhile, pro-Soviet sympathizers in Latvia and Estonia continue to gain supporters. The T-34 does well, and design of a faster and lighter Soviet tank begins. Meanwhile, the first Soviet Aircraft Carrier is launched, and two new submarines are launched in the Pacific and the Arctic Ocean.
 * Italian diplomacy: Italy declares war on Iran and sends 55,000 troops to Turkey to assist in the war while an Italian convoy of five battleships, seven cruisers, nine destroyers, six submarines, and 16,000 marines are sent blockade Iran, three aircraft carriers are sent as well as four fully loaded Airtank Carriers, which amounts to 90 planes, 135 tanks, and 1,000 troops in total on the Airtank carriers alone.
 * I'm fairly certain Italy didn't have carriers back in the 30s.
 * They did. In fact, the Japanese had the first ones such as the IJS Hosho which was completed in 1922. ~Viva


 * Bleh. I thought you meant carriers in general. ~Viva
 * Bulgaria: Declares war on Yugoslavia and becomes the leading airpower in the war in the east using its greater technology to outmatch the Yugoslav air force and its CAS fighters to attack the armoured regiments clearing the way for Romanian troops to move forwards. Political support for Daskalov and Boris III increases. However, Daskalov begins to consolidate his power and starts to look at ridding Bulgaria of internal enemies as well as external. Exploitation of copper and zinc is subsidized as the war starts, hoping to home produce shells for the Bulgarian army. However, farming subsidies are also given out to produce greater crop harvests; these crops will be used to fuel the Bulgarian war machine as plans are made to draft troops into the armed forces. Meanwhile, industry grows all around Bulgaria with farming, mining and textile manufacture being on the top of productivity increases, Armament industries spring up and begin trying to supply the Bulgarian armed forces to reduce import costs. All these economic changes put a strain on the economy and taxes have to be raised to the dislike of many Bulgarians. However, the increase in standards of living keep most quiet.
 * Romania: Quickly invading Yugoslavia from the East with newly developed Armoured divisions. The Romanian army is backed up by both Bulgaria and Greece. Yugoslavia isn't strong enough to fight off all three nations.
 * Netherlands: Asks Britain for an alliance and begins to build up defenses as a protective measure. Alliance offers are also sent to the U.S and the U.S.S.R. The military begins rapid expansion. The Military asks Britain for military developmental aid.
 * UK: Agrees to the Alliance and sends the designs for the Hurricane Mk. IV and the Lancaster Mk. II to seal the deal.
 * Argentina: Many defenses are built across the Chilean border and naval defenses are built across the southern coast. The air force also began to be increased while a new aircraft began to be researched. Brazil and Venezuela are asking for a joint project which would benefit all of us. The military forces continue to grow and are put at the border with Chile and the northern frontiers. The industry began to be developed further.
 * Venezuela knows that war is in 1937 and makes final preparations. They move their newly-trained army towards the border. They ask Argentina for military support in the war, in exchange for the same thing to its ally. They spread pan-Colombian propaganda across the country, trying to gain the support to re-establish the former country. They continue on with their programs. To encourage liberalization, they encourage women to achieve freer lives.
 * Argentina D: We agree to the deal and propose to create a pact (like the Axis) between Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina to accomplish our goals and discourage foreign intervention.
 * Hungary: In order to protect Yugoslavia, Hungary declares war on Romania and Bulgaria, and though early in development of weaponry, sends 100,000 soldiers of the Royal Hungarian Army to defend the Yugoslavs from Romanian and Bulgarian attacks. Continues development of the Air Force and Army. At least 15 of the first built M-36 Vihar fighter planes are sent to protect Yugoslav cities from Romanian and Bulgarian bombers. We hope that Germany assists its new closest friend, and in return, is promised 50% of oil from a target that is yet to be revealed publically. With onset of war, the weapon industry rapidly grows, bringing a rapid growth into the economy, with thousands of jobs being created, putting once unused factories left rusting since the Great War, back into operation. Conscription permits all healthy males (and encourages) to join the Army, with flight schools opening in Budapest and other cities, where the Royal Hungarian Air Force is expected to grow to a thousand potential pilots within two years. Production on the Ikarus MT-37 medium tank and Ikarus PA-36 APV is tripled, with the influx of the available materials from Germany. The Army grows to 300,000 active (a third of which are being sent to Yugoslavia), and at least 500,000 reserves. All males not qualified for military action are given an alternate role to produce weapons at factories with Army-level pay. Women are also permitted to have jobs outside the house, working high-paying jobs for the first time, though a number are allowed to work at munition factories. The FÉG 35M rifle is developed and given to soldiers. A figure of a million FÉG 35M's are produced, for future recruits when boys reach the age of 16. (In case someone disagrees with the size of the Army, I'm pretty sure many Hungarian men would sign up for a military this nationalistic, and remember, 18 million of Nazi Germany's 40 million men were in the Heer, and that's about 45% of that country's males. My size of 800,000 is about 40% of Hungary's men)
 * Turkey Diplomacy: Turkey vowes to aid Hungary and Yugoslavia in their war, and to avenge the deaths of the tens of thousands of Turks during the Greek invasion and occupation of Turkey after World War I. The chance to punish the Greeks has attracted the attention of many young men seeking to honor their fathers' fight for Turkish sovereignty. Some 350,000 men are mobilized to take the fight to Greece, and return the impudent state to Turkish rule. The calls to Germany, the Soviet Union and Italy to aid in the fight are sent out.
 * Hungarian Diplomacy: We agree fully. Both our states have been trampled on by the victors of the First World War. It is time to take revenge. The Romanians and Greeks killed Hungarians, just like the Greeks killed the Turks, and dissolved our mighty empires. We also send a shipment of 100,000 FÉG 35M rifles, our newest creation, to celebrate our newly-formed alliance.
 * Italian Diplomacy: Italy withdraws all forces and the naval blockade from Iran and joins the war against Bulgaria and asks Yugoslavia, Turkey and Hungary for a military alliance while all forces previously in Iran are moved to the Turkish-Bulgarian border while the naval fleet blockades Bulgaria's coastline. The Italians are still angry for being left out of the main spoils in WW-I.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Agreed. Turkey can handle Persia by itself from here on, and thanks the Italians for the aid during the fighting.

1937

 * Korea: Korea continues to amp up their military, as well as continue building their economy. There is a big surplus in the budget, and the money is stored up for next year.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues to fund pro-Soviet sympathizers in Latvia and Estonia, and their continuing mission of causing chaos in the country. The Soviet Sympathizers continue gain support in Latvia and Estonia, and they begin to prepare to launch a SECRET coup against the governments to establish a pro-Soviet government, and by 1939, become annexed into the USSR. Meanwhile, the Soviet military continues to modernize, and the production of oil and grain also effects the economy. Soviet Navy launches a fourth battleship, and two submarines are launched into the Baltic region. Establishment of a trans-Russian Railway begins to connect Vladivostok to Moscow.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey would like additional Soviet aid in Persia, as the Soviets do maintain a sphere of influence in the north half of Persia. Turkey would gladly provide the Soviets with a third of any oil revenue gained from the region, and would support Soviet aims should they request it.
 * Soviet D: The Soviet will continue its SECRET support to Turkey. And offers to provide Turkey with the designs of the T-34 MBT.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese Imperial government requests a non-aggression pact with the USSR.
 * Soviet D: Agreed.
 * Turkey: Turkey continues to modernize the economy with the establishment of several new car factories in Izmir and Bursa, and the construction of a railroad linking Van in the far eastern part of the nation to Diyarbakir. The military force in Yugoslavia returns to Turkey, and is merged with the returning forces from Persia. The establishment of a 750,000-man army is completed, and the government seeks to return to Persia immediately. They continue to SECRETLY supply Syrian and Iraqi rebels with the intention of merging the two regions into Turkey, and beginning work on building a new Islamic empire. The air force undergoes extensive restructuring with the introduction of 310,000 new I1 Zafer combat rifles for the army. The development of 500 Forvet fighter planes are instrumental to the establishment of a new military force.
 * Hungarian Diplomacy: We are willing to send an Army of 100,000 or more to assist our Turkish friends in taking over Persia.
 * Turkish Response: Turkey thanks Hungary for its commitment.
 * Argentina: The assimilation of the fascist ideologies by the people is going well, thanks to the reform impacts. The military forces also grow as more and more young want to be heroes and fight for the motherland. A important tank corps is also built and we offer Turkey an alliance and support in their war in exchange for a good oil deal after the fall of Persia. Many modern military planes are bought from foreign powers to be studied and develop a strong plane. A strategic bomber began to be researched and Germany, Venezuela and Italy are invited to participate to the project. Italy is also asked for an alliance.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: Turkey agrees to the gesture from Argentina.
 * Persia: The Shah delivers a speech to the international community, calling out nations to intervene in the unfair and unjustified Turkish Invasion. Persian Forces deploy tanks around more important areas, using the mountains as powerful areas of control, production is high in east, with various tanks, armored vehicles, weapons and even a few dozen aircrafts. The air force deploys around important military areas and the east. Thousands are enlisted into the militia, most eagerly responding to defend Persia by the unfair invasion, the Shah calls out for northern communist groups to cooperate against the invaders, which suceed to an extent.
 * Venezuela realizes the deadline is here and officially declares war on Colombia. They send their troops through the border, who strategically occupy nearby towns and villages, but do no harm to the inhabitants. War factories are put into production as the demand for weapons is high. In order to increase independence, Venezuela begins digging mines for their products and not to depend so much on foreign imports. The spread of fascism goes well in Venezuela, as many people want to see the glorification of the country.
 * Japan: With no response from the Chinese government or the Communist rebels, the Japanese government declares war on China in the name of restoring order to the broken nation. Operation Falling Dragon is launched with 400,000 Japanese Imperial soldiers invading from Manchuria and another 250,000 launching an amphibious assault from Formosa, a further 300,000 are being readied for the war. The government begins a general mobilization and the Japanese numbers will slowly increase as more men are recruited. The imperial Navy launches a series of strikes on the small Chinese navy all but destroying it in a matter of months and bombardment of the coastlines to soften it for Japanese advances begins. The naval expansion continues as the first of the Yamato battleships reaches its third of completion and the first Japanese submarines are being created. The Military industry begins building a new tank model based on recent designs to replace the inferior tanks currently in service. The naval Aerial integration is completed and a series of other aircraft carriers are to be built along with several airstrips on Formosa, two in Manchuria and a few in Japanese Pacific Islands to help the defence of national territory. The military orders several hundred more plans to increase the amount and help seal Japanese dominance in the east. The High command becomes interested in Professor Hikosaka Tadayoshi's Atomic physics theory (written in 1934 real life) but they will leave this for the future as it is a demanding project and the war with China is more immediate.
 * Hungary: 81,000 of the surviving 85,000 soldiers in Yugoslavia are recalled to Hungary, where 4,000 will help clean up Yugoslavia from any damage the British, French, Romanian and Greeks caused. With an active force of 285,000, about 100,000 of the active soldiers will be deployed to Turkey, to assist one of our biggest allies in the war against Persia, as the 81,000 will be sent home for break and leave. (To give them a break for future combat.) With the death of Prime Minister Gyula Gömbös, from testicular cancer, King Horothy puts Kálmán Darányi, Hungarian Minister of Agriculture, as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Hungary. Prime Minister Darányi wishes to pursue a Nationalistic form of Fascism, but wanted to promote close ties with Germany and Italy. Textbooks about the Great War, that claim that Yugoslavia and Italy were enemies of Hungary, are to be replaced by law, and destroyed, to replace textbooks that say that "Yugoslavia and Italy were countries betrayed by the British and French scum, and that with their friendship with Hungary, the three nations will get revenge." Continued mass production of weaponry of the Royal Hungarian Army continues, with tanks and APV's having reached 400 and 1,100 respectively by the summer. The economy improves because of this. The new heavy/night bomber, the M-37 Tűzvihar (Hungarian for Fire Storm), is produced, with 100 planned, thanks to resources available from our allies which are bought.
 * ​This war isn't over yet, I don't think. The Balkan allies want reparations and big ones.


 * Siam: Military continues being built up. Meanwhile, few bridges and Khāsāmi (คาซามิ) Tower continue construction. Plans for a racetrack is also proposed.
 * Yugoslavia: Pro-French uprisings take place all across the nation. The pro-French ask for French and British help. I resign as Yugoslavia.
 * Hungarian Diplomacy: The 4,000 soldiers stationed in Yugoslavia, will help put down the pro-French uprisings, and try to keep Yugoslavia as an ally. Though, if worse comes to worse (which it probably will, considering the player's resignation), the Army and its seven surviving M-36 Vihar fighter planes are authorized to retreat back to Hungary.
 * Romania: asks France to help build a new tank - the B2 bis - and moves a force 500,000 strong to its borders along Hungary.
 * Italy: Italian troops begin bombing Greek cities from the sea via aircraft/airtank carriers, while raiding parties are dropped behind Greek lines to cause havoc amongst the Greeks. Italian forces invade Bulgaria from the coast on the Black Sea with 65,000 troops and 65 tanks while Italian bombers bomb the coastal areas to destroy resistance from the Bulgarians. The new tactic is called Blitzkreig, or lightning war in German. Italy continues its blockade against Bulgaria as well. 15,000 troops are sent to Turkey to help fight Persia while 65 bombers and 35 fighters are given to Turkey to fight Persia. Il Duce Mussolini calls on the people to join the war effort, and guns, tanks, jeeps, warships, and other weapons begin to pour into the Italian Military while weapons begin to go into Yugoslavia and Turkey to fight the Bulgarians. Italy only hears of peace talks after the major operations in Bulgaria, and Italy mobilizes fully with troops sent to Yugoslavia.

1937.5
NEW MAP!
