The Global War (Map Game)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bulgaria: The Bulgarian army continues training, and is equipped with new, more modern weaponry. It is considered to be a very good military, "the Prussia of the Balkans". Tensions between the Balkan League (which we are part of) and the Ottoman Empire are rising. The current Tsar is Ferdinand, and the current Prime Minister is Ivan Geshov. While the army continues improving, the infrastructure is improved across the country, especially transportation infrastructure - more railways are being built. (Military/Infrastructure).
 * Ottoman Empire: I would like to join the Balkan League to avoid a war between the Balkan countries and me.

Russia: The Imperial military continues to modernise. Our forces currently consist of 115 infantry and 38 cavalry divisions with nearly 7,900 guns (7,100 field guns, 540 field howitzers and 257 heavy guns). In order to further improve on the effectiveness of our armies' medical units, we wish to order 200 ambulances from the United Kingdom or the United States.

Mexico continues to wage its civil war. Revolutionary generals Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata rise in revolt against newly installed President Francisco Madero. After a six-day battle, Mexico City falls to Zapata's forces, while Villa consolidates control over northern Mexico. Other warlords are defeated piecemeal, bringing the civil war to a general end by October. The two generals form a junta to rule the nation and begin a massive program of land reform, redistributing land to peasants. Meanwhile, the revolutionary armies and militias are unified into a single national army. By the end of the year, Zapata has begun applying his quasi-anarchist philosophy, Zapatismo, to governance. Mexico requests to buy arms from any nation willing to sell.

Ottoman Empire: I will send you some arms if you make an allience with me.

China: On February, 12th, 1912, the Qing Emperor Pu Yi abdicates under internal pressure from the revolutionaries and his prime minister Yuan Shikai. On February, 14th, 1912, Yuan was elected as the first Provisional President of the Republic of China, and he was sworn into office on March 10th 1912. After staging a coup d'etat in Beijing, he was able to persude the KMT government into continuing the Chinese capital at Beijing. As soon as the Qing government collapsed, regional unrest began, especially in Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia and Manchuria. To encounter this threat, Yuan sent 30,000 of his elite Beiyang soldiers into the areas, with its commander Duan Qirui. Yuan also begins minting official silver coins, nicknamed the Yuan Datou (The Large Head of Yuan), as Yuan's portrait was engraved on the coin. Yuan and the Beiyang Clique begins lending its support to Li Yuanhong's Republican Party. New governors are appointed for each province. The Ministry of Economy begins optimization of the taxation processes. Large farm cooperatives begins to be formed in the Yangtze River Delta and Henan. Some factories begins to be built in the Yangtze River Area, particularly in Hubei.

Ottoman Empire: We surrender to the Italians in the Italo-Terkish war. We continue to strengthen are military to keep up with the Balkan League. Tensions between the Ottoman Empire and the Balkan league is low. We propose an alliance with the USA and wish to join the Entente. We also willing to send arms to Mexico to help them in the war if they make an alliance with us. (Military/Infastrusture)
 * French Diplomacy: Fearing a world war, we cannot accept your offer until there are no more tensions in the Balkans. However, we would like an informal alliance that is not legally binding.
 * Ottoman Empire: Agreed

Empire of Japan: The empire continues to improve her military, most notably the navy and marines, seeing it as the key to the Japanese domination of the Pacific. Plans for an expansion of the Imperial Navy are drawn up, with submarines and battleships being the primary goal. The Army is increased to 300,000 soldiers, with conscription being implemented. The Empire's economy continues to grow, albeit slowly, due to the near-absolute mercantilist economy of Japan. Exports do rise, with a trickle of it going to Korea. Attempts to divsersify the economy by increasing investments in agriculture and other sectors are done. We send more soldiers to Korea, but start giving Koreans more rights in the Empire. (Do I do a separate area of my post for Taiwan?) Sweden: Sweden maintains its stance of neutrality, refusing to ally with any of the two major alliances. However, King Gustaf V recognizes the need to have a strong military with a global war on the horizon. An order is placed for 3 Sverige-class coastal defense ships to protect the coasts of Sweden. The military budget is increased, with funds being used to expand the size of our army. (Military/Economy)
 * Korea: We begin constructing a series of railways from the Chinese border to Busan and southern Korea, branching off into major cities along the way. Factories are built to incease the industrialization rate in the area while farms are built to feed the populace and eventually feed all of the Empire. Economic growth continues as well.
 * You can post for Taiwan too.

Greece: In response to the Ottoman Empire surrendering Libya to the Italians, we declare partial mobilisation across all of our territory in order to prepare for a war with the Ottomans in the coming months. We also ask Serbia (MOD RESPONSE), Bulgaria and Romania for alliances as well as one with Russia that is completely separate from the Entente Alliance, despite our past relations with them. In Greece, we continue to try to improve our military to be up-to-date with the rest of Western Europe and we begin to build more railroads and public transportation in southern Greece. United States: We decide to maintain our policy of isolationism when concerning European politics, despite this we increase our standing army to 100,000 ,with another 100,000 in reserve. We decide to increase our naval capatities with the construction of 4 state of the art dreadnoughts. Our industry is expanded.
 * Serbia: Agrees to an alliance with Greece and Russia.

Serbia: We start a project of major railways connecting Belgrade, Nis, Pristina, Skopje, Tirana, major cities in neighbouring countries and smaller Serbian towns. We begin investment in research towards more efficient and/or renewable energy sources. We also request to join the proposed alliance between Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Russia. However, we will not participate in a war against the Ottoman Empire unless we are attacked directly. We recognise the Republic of China as the true government of China. (Infrastructure/Technology)

'''Chile: Military and Technology turn. Chile plans total domination of the South West Pacific and the annexation of the entire West Coast of South America, initiating Operation: Supremacy'''. Meanwhile we ask for an alliance with Spain to strengthen ties with its old colonial master. Meanwhile, we seek to promote diplomatic relations with Argentina following the Pactos De Mayo a decade earlier.
 * Spanish Diplomacy: We agree to the alliance in return for assistance in a planned campaign to retake Formosa from Japan and we also ask for control of the Philippines.
 * Just reminding you, this would mean a war with Japan and you're likely not gonna get the Philippines back.
 * Chilean Diplomacy: We support the war with Japan, but remind Spain that the Phillipines are currently a US Territory as the Insular Government of the Phillipines and has been for over a decade.

Argentina: Begins and continues naval buildup (OTL). Offers an four way alliance with Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay named the Cono Sur '''(mod response). '''Meanwhile, infrastructure is also worked on (INF/MIL). Spain: The España is launched after building is complete. We begin patrols around Gibraltar. We also seek '''an alliance with France and the United Kingdoms. We ask that France grant us a sphere of influence in northern and southern Morroco. (Military/Infrastructure)'''
 * Chilean Diplomacy: Wanting an alliance with Argentina and with none of these nations on the Pacific Coast, the Chilean government accepts the alliance with Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
 * [Mod Response, RNG]: Uruguay Accepts
 * [Mod Response, RNG]: Paraguay Declines
 * France: We accept the alliance. There has already been an agreement signed in 1911. We also warn against Spanish involvement with Japan over Formosa.
 * Brazil: Brazil begins to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Population continues to grow by adding 200,000 people every year. The population of Brazil now stands at 24.0 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 100,000 soldiers, 10,000 cavalries and 3,000 number of artillery. Fewer schools, colleges and more houses and mining planets are built. The mining plants produces materials coal and iron, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Brazil. A few docks and mosques are built. Meanwhile, more new trains are produced and two new railway lines are opened in service.

1912.5
After tensions rise in Albania and Serbia, war breaks out between the Balkan League and the Ottoman Empire.

Emperor Meiji of Japan dies, and is succeeded by his son, who becomes Emperor Taisho.

The R.M.S. Titanic sinks after hitting an iceberg near Newfoundland.

A major earthquake hits Port Moresby in British New Guinea, also damaging some of German New Guinea and Cairns in Australia.

Greece: We declare war on the Ottoman Empire along with the Balkan League and declare full mobilisation, passing a law that forces men from 18 to 40 years old to be conscripted into the army. We consolidate our main army in Athens, which numbers to about 35,000. We also do the same with our navy, which numbers to about 45 dreadnoughts. We then move our main army slowly upwards, waiting for the Balkan League soldiers to join with us. We still want an official alliance with the Balkan League and Russia, and we continue to improve military technology and general infrastructure, offering our condolences to the people who lost their lives in the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic.
 * Greece has 45 dreadnoughts?
 * Good Point.

Spain: We declare full neutrality in any conflict that will happen in Europe. We send our condolences to the victims of the Titanic tragedy and their families.

France: We begin by recognizing the Republic of China. After debates internally about the Balkan War, we decide to send economic support to our new friends in the Ottoman Empire, while being sure to keep our relations with Russia. Although Spain declared neutrality, we'd like their permission to station ships in Spanish waterways, specifically in the straight of Gibraltar should war break out. We vote to place sanctions on Italy after their unrightful invasion of Libya. We build a series of fortifications along the border with Germany. We place a series of strategic mines just in case, and place a small fleet in the Seine, Moselle, and Meuse rivers to stop any possible German advancement. Finally, we mourn the casualties from the Titanic. (Military/Infrastructure).
 * Spanish Diplomacy: We allow the French to station ships in the Strait of Gibraltar, but we limit the amount of ships to a maximum of 15

Bulgaria: Tsar Ferdinand declares war on the Ottoman Empire. The Bulgarian army has a strength of 580,000 men after conscription was completed this year, which are divided into five field armies of 116,000 men each. The armies begin their advance: the 1st Army attacks from Elhovo the city of Edirne, the 2nd Army attacks from Haskovo the city of Kardzhali, the 3rd Army attacks from Asenovgrad the city of Smolyan, the 4th Army attacks from near Yambol the city of Kirklareli, while the 5th Army is used as a reserve force, acting as the rear guard of the 1st and 4th armies. The objective is to reach the sea shores in the south, and as close to Constantinople as possible. The armies in Albania and Macedonia will be cut off from the main Ottoman lands if the sea is reached and a barrier is made by our forces. The Greeks and Serbs can then fight and destroy them while we handle the ones in Thrace. Meanwhile, the infrastructure projects are put on hold while the war begins and the industry produces military equipment. (Military/Economy).
 * Serbia: Don't we control Macedonia and Albania at this point? We will assist you in your war only if the Ottomans claim Macedonia and Albania.
 * Albania and Macedonia belonged to the Ottomans (though if you are in the war, then the Balkan League will regain control).
 * Serbia: Ok we're in the war then

Russia: We repeat our request to purchase 200 ambulances from the US or UK to supply our medical units. We continue to mobilise in the event of war, and begin government reforms to ensure maximum efficiency.
 * Russian politics: Parliamentary elections are held to form the Fourth State Duma. The Nationalist Party gains the majority of seats.
 * Russian dip: Wishing for a relatively more secure eastern seaboard and improved relations with its Asian neighbours, the Empire wishes to establish trade routes with Japan.
 * Japanese Dip: Accepts, as we wish to decrease tensions between our two Empires

Emirite of Nejd: Economy and military continue to improve. The Emir Saud ibn Abdulaziz, being only 14 years old, is secluded to the Palace of Qishlah, whereas state matters are conducted by the Viceroy Zamal Ali Al-Sabhan. A plot to assassinate the Viceroy is uncovered in September, and the conspirators responsible are publicly executed. We encourage the caravan trade across Arabia as well as the annual Hijrah, which occurs in November of this year. We continue to exert control over the dominions of Riyadh and Tabouk. The military is continuously enlarged by purchasing soldiers from local Sheikhs. Additional supplies are taken from raids on Turkish outposts. We ask to open trade with Britain or France.
 * France accepts the trade offer, with most of our trade going through the Suez Canal or Djibouti.

Republic of China: Unfortunately, in early June, Zhang Xun, commanding 10,000 soldiers rebelled against the Republic, and reinstated the Qing Monarchy in Manchuria. Yuan immediately ordered 150,000 Beiyang soldiers, commanded by the Dog Meat general Zhang Zongchang and the Dongbei Military governor, Zhang Zuolin, with 50,000 soldiers to crush the rebellion. Zhang Zuolin immediately begins a guerilla campaign in Jilin and even launched incursions into Liaoning. On the other hand, Zhang Zongchang's army arrived in armoured trains. In the battle of Shenyang (Mukden), Zhang Xun's army (10,000 mutinous Beiyang soldiers and 40,000 Manchu aristocrats with outdated weapons) was crushed by superior numbers, discipline and morale of the Republican army. Public support for Yuan grew after the battle. Another favourable outcome of the rebellion is that Yuan was able to imprison the Qiren (Manchu) population of Beijing for treason and seized their wealth, numbering hundreds of millions of taels of silver (they practically controlled all Chinese income for the entire Qing Dynasty). With the money gained from seizing their property, the Central government was finally able to pay all its civil servants. Furthermore, factories in Manchuria, Hubei and the Yangtze river Delta was invested. The army is consolidated. We improve our military and industry.
 * Ottoman Empire: China, Do you want an alliance so you help me with the Balkan war and I help with your wars.

Chinese Diplomacy: We are willing to purchase rifles, machine guns, radios, armoured cruisers and destroyers.

Serbia: Under pressure from the population, our monarch abdicates and we become a democracy. The first elections are held and the Socialist Workers' Party wins the election. The poorest part of the population can now move up the social ladder by starting a business as they have some money to get them started. Poverty decreases. We become known as the 'Democratic Socialist Republic of Serbia'. We also recruit about 10,000 people and declare war on the Ottoman Empire. (Military/Economy)

Argentina: After paraguay's decline of the cono sur alliance propoganda gets released to reclaim the land once part of the united providences. Argentine's are split on the issue and it will be a major issue in upcoming elections. Secret a message is sent to Bolivia to ask for assitance should we invade paraguay
 * [Mod Response, RNG]: Bolivia Declines

'''Empire of Japan: We station the navy near Taiwan and the Senkaku Islands. '''To improve the literacy of the country, scholars are sent to the United States and European countries to learn their economic, political, and educational systems in an effort to bolster the Japan's intellectual capabilities. More universities are built and more students enter the workforce, with a surprising amount of them become scientists, researchers, and engineers. The naby also sees the greatest expansion in the armed forces, with battleships and submarines constructed to secure Japanese domination of the Pacific. The army expands to 400,000 men amidst reports of threats against Taiwan (Tech/Mil)
 * Taiwan: Economy and Military Improve
 * Korea: Economy and Infrastructure Improve

Ottoman Empire:We are in war with Greece and Bulgeria this tern. More Ottoman troops will be sent to defend Instanbul.I'm offering an alliance with the Netherlands and Chilie. They help me with the Balkan War and I hep them with there problams. I recognise the Republic of China.I'm prepared to make peace with Bulgeria and Greece.(millatry/economy tern)

P.S: I won't be posting till Friday. If a world War break out I remain neutral. Can somebody post my terns? Just say Milatry/Economy tern.

Austria-Hungary: Our leader Francis Joseph starts the mass production of weapons in factories. We ask Russia, France, and Spain for an allaiance. More jobs are being made due to the fact more military factories are being built. We increase our military by having more people join due to a draft. We aid the balkan nations against the Ottoman Empire, by sending troops. We leave the triple alliance.
 * You are in the Triple alliance, they are in the Triple Entente. You need to have reason to leave, otherwise this escalates to world war.

Sweden: Construction continues on the coast defense ships. Our military, simply known as the Swedish Defensive Forces due to our state of neutrality, continue to expand and occupy forts along our borders. We open more iron mines as iron ore would be very valuable in the upcoming war. (Military/Infrastructure).

Brazil: Brazil continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Population continues to grow by adding 200,000 people every year. The population of Brazil now stands at 24.2 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 120,000 soldiers, 12,000 cavalries and 4,000 number of artillery. Fewer schools, museums, colleges and more houses and mining planets are built. The mining plants produces materials coal and iron, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Brazil. A few docks and mosques are built. Meanwhile, more new trains are produced and two new railway lines are opened in service. After Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay formed the first alliance, Brazil asks Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia for alliance and trade agreement to form another alliance in South America: Grand Amurican Allias.
 * [Mod Response, RNG]: Ecaudor Declines
 * [Mod Response, RNG]: Bolivia Declines

'''Chile: Military and Technology turn. Seeing Brazil forming a counter alliance to the Alliance with Chile and Uruguay, Chile prepares to takeover the Pacific'''. We then launch an invasion of Peru, following a breakdown in negotiations where Peru demanded to keep Tacna following the Pacific War decades ago. Following this war, many outraged left-wing people '''form the Socialist Workers party. '''The Liberals also suffer some defections but survive.
 * Spanish Diplomacy: We offer our Chilean Allies the Alfonso XIII dreadnought battleship and 6 destroyers for assistance in the Pacific.
 * Just reminding you that this causes Monroe Doctrine issues. Do you really want to risk another Spanish-American War?

1913.0
'''The Balkan League pushes back the Ottomans, making major gains. '''

Woodrow Wilson becomes President of the USA.

The Ottoman Empire agrees to give up all of the land it had in the Balkans except for what is South and East of Edirne, and they keep Crete.

'''We need a Chilean-Peruvian War algorithm made. [That'll come soon, I just need to know all the participating countries]'''

Spain: We open the Strait of Gibraltar to France. We also send 2 regiments of troops to Chile to support their Pacific Conquest. Problems have begun arising in the Rifian Region of Morroco.Hence we begin construction of 2 new forts and a series of watchtowers near the Rif region and send 4 regiments to keep a close eye and ask the France also assist us in case a war breaks out. (Military/Infrastructure) France: We send some troops, but mainly ships, to Morocco to halt the revolts in Rif. We use this as an excuse to patrol the Strait of Gibraltar. We do not declare which side we are on yet for the wars beginning in South America, as we are waiting for the United States. We strongly advise Spain to stop sending military aid, warning them that they are violating the Monroe Doctrine. We begin building many Zeppelins to be used for bombing. We create an air force, which will include Zeppelins, normal airplanes, and balloons, with the main purposes of bombing and intelligence. We continue our sanctions on Italy and fortifications to protect from Germany. (Military/Tech)
 * French Dip: Although we would love to be allied with Spain, we cannot accept an alliance with Spain unless they back out of their alliance with Chile, as that alliance could cause the US to go against France because of the Monroe Doctrine. However, we are open to helping Spain stop any revolts in Morocco.
 * Spanish Diplomacy: We plan to withdrawl from our alliance with Chile within the next year. We also open Barcelona to France as a staging area.
 * Spanish Dip: We agree to withdrawl military aid to Chile but continue financial support.
 * Japanese DIP: We request to buy military aircraft and their blueprints
 * French Dip: We agree to Japan's offer.

Emirite of Nejd: Economy and military continue to improve. The Emir Saud ibn Abdulaziz, being only 14 years old, is secluded to the Palace of Qishlah, whereas state matters are conducted by the Viceroy Zamal Ali Al-Sabhan. We encourage the caravan trade across Arabia. We continue to exert control over the dominions of Riyadh and Tabouk. The military is continuously enlarged by purchasing soldiers from local Sheikhs. Raids on Turkish outposts continue, and military presence increases on the desert near the Hejaz. The military is modernized using technology from France.

In Mexico, the new People's Republic consolidates its position. The army and navy are built up off a core of revolutionary soldiers, while members of the old regime are expelled or shot. Land redistribution and collectivization continues, while the new national ideology, Zapatismo, continues to be propounded by Premier Emiliano Zapata. The dual rule of Pancho Villa and Zapata remains stable and thoroughly in control. With the dictatorial nation of Guatemala continuing to repress its people, Mexico declares war, invading with 150,000 troops.

Republic of China: Early this year, the first National Assembly elections of the Republic of China has been passed with a narrow victory for the Republican party, scoring a little over half of the seats with 146 senate seats and 307 house seats. KMT won 95 senate seats and 243 house seats. The Republican victory is attributed to Yuan's victory is crushing Manchu remnants, the acquisition of the Qing treasures and the salary of the civil servants. Sun Yat-sen, angered by this loss, accused the Beiyang government of rigging the election. The heads of the KMT, Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen began to part ways, with Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing staying in Beijing and starting the Progressive Party, while Sun Yat-sen went to Guangzhou with the remnants of the KMT. Zhang Tianyou, the Minister of Transportation unveils a railroad plan from Beijing to Shanghai. Yuan quickly approved of it and constructions work for the first section, Beijing to Baoding, began. More factories were built in Manchuria, Hebei, Hubei and the Yangtze River Delta and the first Chinese fertilizer factory is built in Suzhou. We improve our industry and military. The army of the Republic of China is consolidated and now numbers a million, with 300,000 modern soldiers and the rest outdated at around 1890. Our first artillery corps, numbered at 10,000, is built.

Chinese Diplomacy: We are willing to purchase rifles, machine guns, radios, armoured cruisers and destroyers for great prices.

Empire of Japan: The empire of Japan sees that control of the skies leads to control of the battlefield, and thus, funding and research goes into the formation of an Imperial Japanese Air Force. The air force, currently empty of actual aircraft, has placed an order for zeppelins to contractors. The Empire recruits a series of aeronautical engineers and military scientists to design Japan's first military aircraft for use of the Air Force. The navy sees more buildup as more submarines and powerful battleships are built. The army produces more weapons and recruits more soliders, currently at 450,000 men. Scholars continue to study abroad to learn the workings of foreign countries while more universities are built and more scientists work for the government (Mil/Tech)

Austria-Hungary: All factories are mass producing military weapons and vehicles. The first prototype tank is made. The blue prints for this tank is kept a secret from the rest of the world. Planes for our air force are being made. The navy has about 100 ships in its force. Farming is our second biggest industry after the military industry. The building of new universities are underway for more scientists can do there secret work for the government. We try every way to leave the Triple Alliance. We ask Germany if we can break our alliance that we have. Brazil: Brazil continues to improve its technology and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Population continues to grow by adding 200,000 people every year. The population of Brazil now stands at 24.4 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 140,000 soldiers, 14,000 cavalries and 5,000 number of artillery. Fewer schools, museums, colleges and more houses and mining planets are built. The mining plants produces materials coal and iron, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Brazil. A few docks and mosques are built. Meanwhile, more new trains are produced and two new railway lines are opened in service. After Peru was slowly defeated in Chilean-Peruvian War, Brazil declares war on Peru, as the president Hermes da Fonseca wanted to expend Brazil more into outside country's borders and simply invade it with 60,000 soldiers, 10,000 cavalries and 2,000 number of artillery. Chile: In the Chilean-Peruvian War, '''Chilean forces begin to take over Peru. As Brazil also launches an invasion of Peru, we become wary of them and begin creating the Treaty of Santiago to end the Chilean-Peruvian War.
