1933.5 (Start)Edit
'''THE BETA HAS BEGUN! FEEDBACK PLEASE! AND DON'T FORGET AXIS VS ALLIES: REVOLUTIONS ISN'T OVER YET!''' *Germany: President von Hindenburg dies of natural causes, allowing Hitler to become the head of state and government of Germany. Hitler immediately removes anything from the Constitution that would remove him from power. He begins rounding up Communists and other political opponents, while rebuilding Germany's military. Australia's climate.*Australia: The Prime Minister says Australia has done well overall since gaining de jure independence in 1901 and full de facto independence in 1931. The Aussie parliament ratifies Australia’s continuing loyalty to the UK, Canada and New Zealand. Sheep farming is enhanced, but this difficult in places due to the arid terrain. A few more houses are built in Hobart, Cairns and Darwin. The economy is still a bit stagnant and depressed after the Wall Street crash several years earlier. UK accepts.
 * Korea: The Korean rebels continue to fight against the Japanese. Some Koreans begin to assassinate some high ranked Japanese officers as well, though a couple of them has failed, while some of them are successful.
 * United States: President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Congress pass a new series of bills known as the New Deal to help pull the United States out of the Great Depression. Meanwhile, the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution is passed, which moves inauguration day from March 4 to January 20. Congress votes in favor of Philippine Independence from the United States.
 * Sweden The King issues a declaration of opposition against the said "Adolf Hitler" as he opposes his recent moves of constitutional amendments. Meanwhile, Sweden builds up its military and economy. More jobs are created.
 * Greece starts a buildup of its army and navy. Alliance requests are sent to Italy, France, Sweden, the United States and Spain.
 * France accepts.
 * Japan: Offers Korea to be a Self governing region of Japan (Like OTL Hong Kong). Starts building up of the Army and Navy. Sends alliance requests to Australia, Brazil and Colombia.
 * Korean Diplomacy: Korea accepts the offer.
 * Canada: Military buildup begins, sends Trade and Political Alliances to the U.S.A., Australia, Sweden and Greece.
 * Australian response- Canada’s trade deal and political alliances with Australia are accepted. Japan is told to wait until it is all fully debated in the Aussie parliament since an alliance with Japan would possibly run counter to the nation’s White Australia policy.
 * United Kingdom: The British economy is repaired following the recent global economic turmoil. Meanwhile, Churchill warns against Germany's rearmament.
 * Argentina mourns the loss of the Honorable former President Hipolito Yrigoyen. A man named Elias Castro is elected president of the Argentine Republic. It becomes clear to him that he needs to impose massive social changes to move his country into the future. With a growing populace, industry and economy, President Castro hopes to make Argentina into a leader of South American prosperity. He immediately drafts economic reforms that are passed by a compassionate Argentine Congress. He seeks investments into the country. The elimination of corruption, (most) drug cartels, (reduction of) criminal activity, and extreme poverty are on the president's list. President Castro extends his hopes of prosperity to all nations in Latin America and drafts a plan with the Colombian president to create a Latin American Confederation.
 * With the Holodomor going in full swing, the Soviet Union's Mikhail Kalinin is able to convince Iosif Stalin of stopping collectivisation and partially returning the Kulaks, or at least stopping their imprisonment and banishment. The second Five Year Plan is put on a hiatus as the agriculture is attempted to be improved. Meanwhile, several Bolshevik leaders Stalin suspects of like Bukharin, Kirov, Pytakov and Zironev travel to Paris, where it is suspected they meet with Leon Trotsky, although officially it was only a discourse among French Communists (unless Chris doesn't want this to happen; it really will only affect Soviet policies but if you're uncomfortable with that feel free to cross it out).
 * Fine with me, we French are an accepting people ;)
 * Italy: Military buildup continues around the empire and roads are built across the heartland as well as Libya, Somalia and Eritrea. Mussolini decides to try to get friendly relations with Ethiopia, offering modern technology, aid in modernization and a full military alliance in return for friendly relations and open borders. Ethiopia will also be given some land in Somalia so it can have ocean access. An alliance is offered to Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
 * LOL peacefully vassalizing Ethiopia. Polish alliance? Strike out polls below. (Mods only.)
 * ​Yes:
 * ​Scraw
 * Pita- Strike out Polish alliance, yes. And BTW, Italy invaded Ethiopia in OTL. And they succeeded. Not quite sure why you're offering them peace...
 * No:
 * Spain: The Democratic Government is filled with mainly Fascists and Communists, which leads to conflict between both sides. Veteran of the Rif War, and whose job was lost thanks to the Communists, General Francisco Franco, is picked by the Revolutionaries, to represent the far right wing. He calls on all sides to follow him, rather than fight each other, and build Spain into a powerful country. He looks up to Fascism, specifically Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, and how they have been improving their nations.
 * Italy Diplomacy: Italy offers Spain an alliance but warns Spain against Hitler, as there is something suspicious about him.
 * South Africa: The Statute of Westminster Act is ratified, meaning that South Africa is still a sovereign state and the Crown of the United Kingdom holds no power there. Prime Minister Barry Hertzog creates a separate voters' roll for blacks and also grants local municipalities the power to take ownership of slums, despite opposition from black rights' groups.
 * France: France begins greater funding of the armed forces and sees their expansion, especially after seeing uprisings by citizens of the French African colonies. President Albert François Lebrun also grows concerned about Hitler's actions towards the Constitution, which provides Germany's citizens' rights. He begins sending reinforcements near the German border. France also offers diplomatic relations with the newly-formed Spanish republic, and offers a reassuring alliance to the United Kingdom.

He begins sending reinforcements near the German border. France also offers diplomatic relations with the newly-formed Spanish republic, and offers a reassuring alliance to the United Kingdom.

1934Edit

 * Australia-The Statute of Westminster Act is formally ratified by Prime Minister Joseph Aloysius Lyons (C H). The parliamentary debate over the Japanese offer is done and Japan is offered only a non-aggression treaty, but no further (Australia is proud to be white!). A new truck factory opens in Melbourne and seasonal bush fires are suppressed around Cairns. A 5% trade and industry price tariff is created to help stop competition from cheap imports (excluding Canada who has an alliance).
 * Germany: Hitler continues to consolidate power by excessive amendments to the Constitution. Meanwhile, the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact is signed by both countries. Command of the police is also given to Heinrich Himmler, Hitler's right hand man. Meanwhile, the Night of the Long Knives takes place.
 * Korea: A new Korean government takes power following the change to be a self-governing region (the real one remains in exile). While some Koreans are sort of happy with the change, some other Koreans continue to fight to achieve true independence and liberation. Meanwhile, the military is built up.
 * Canada: Weary of Hitler's constitutional amendments, military is set on yellow alert. Continue buildup of military.
 * United States: Construction on Boulder Dam continues, while the New Deal Acts begin to work, and the economy begins to pull out of the Great Depression. The US Pacific Fleet is divided into three groups - one deployed to Pearl Harbor, second to Seattle, and a third remains in San Diego. Meanwhile, the four aircraft carriers are shipped to different parts of the United States. Expansion of the infrastructure in both the continental United States and the Philippines to allow the island nation to support itself after it becomes independent.
 * Sweden continues to build up its military and economy. More jobs are built. We stay on high alert. The King says that "war is on the horizon" and that nobody can stop it.
 * Japan:  Offers Canada an alliance offer as well . Continues massive military buildup, mostly on the Navy. Gets ready for a possible invasion of China, and will give land to Canada if they help.
 * Although I'm not a mod, I believe it's implausible to give land to Canada, especially in China, as well as asking for alliance. Thoughts? 
 * Yeah, definitely a no-go. -Pita
 * ​Greece again asks for an alliance with Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United States, and thanks France for the acceptance. The army and navy is built up.
 * Argentina builds up its military and economy. President Castro's economic reforms begin to take effect. He seeks investments into the country. The president sets up the Argentine Bureau of Investigation (ABI) with a branch specifically made to halt corruption. The social reforms take effect in November, with the ultimate goal of eradicating extreme poverty. The paramilitary squad under the National Army is being trained and will launch operations in late 1934/early 1935.
 * Colombia: A brawl breaks out between Congress Members between young-aged Liberal Presidential Candidate Jose Guzman and two Conservative Members. Guzman, who reportedly was a boxer in the past, broke one of the elderly men's jaws. This brought much ridicule and laughs among Conservative groups as approval of Guzman dropped within Conservatives but his likability ironically rose within Liberals. This event would represent the difference and conflict between Colombian Liberals and Colombian Conservatives. Third Party Candidate for the 1936 election middle-aged Juan Perez ridiculed both Guzman and Conservative candidate Angel Garcia, labeling the Conservative candidate as 'an old man from the sixteen-hundreds' and liberal candidate as 'a naive young child'.
 * India: People began marching, demanding independence from Britain and a rebel movement begins to free India. The rebels call themselves the Free Indian Army and ask for secret support from Germany and Japan.
 * The Soviet Union's Holodomor calms down, and it is estimated that, although intents on the lower parts of the Soviet government  to stop the hunger, from 1.5 to 2 million people have died. Ukraine and the rest of the Chernozem is, for most purposes, left alone as a breadbasket of the USSR with relatively unchanged farming methods (besides the end of most gulag government)  while the Second Five Year starts in full swing, especially in Moscow and central Russia, and in the Turkic republics. Heavy industry is very heavily focused. Trotskyism continues to grow with other minor Soviet leaders meeting with Trotsky in France.
 * Black protests in South Africa began to create tension in all classes of the country, despite police efforts to crush the rebellions. The country's factories are brought into line with international standards with regard to the length of the work week and the employment of child labour and increased protection of white urban tenants against eviction is introduced now that houses are in short supply. Parliament debates suffrage issues.

1934.5Edit

 * Australia:-A debate opens on restoring the recently scrapped Central Australia province. An Alliance and trade deal is offered to New Zealand. The now, 5% fiscally devalued Australian Pound assists in restoring a favorable balance of trade. The 5% industrial tariff protections are maintained to slow competition from cheap imports (excluding Canada who has an alliance). Coal and Iron mining rise slightly in Queensland. 120 solders and 50 sailors are recruited in case of civil unrest. South Africa is praised for upholding white rule and degrading blacks. The 'White Australia policy.' still goes on and Chinese are picked on more often.
 * Korea: The military is built up, and infrastructure is improved. Meanwhile, Kim Il Sung and the Communist Fraction begin to launch attacks against the Japanese and Korean government. Soon the Korean government decides to fight against the Communists.
 * Japan: Invades China from Manchuria and from the Sea. Asks to join Britain's alliance with France, and  hopes they will take part in the Chinese invasion . Hopes Korea will give military aid as well.
 * Aussie diplomacy: Australia is staying neutral in the North Oriental War.
 * Korean Diplomacy: Korea sends some military aid to help.
 * This is getting out of hand. Korea may or may not send aid to Japan, but even asking to join the Franco-British alliance is implausible.
 * Finland: the military are build up and Sweden is offered a defensive alliance in the case that a war reach Scandinavia.
 * United States: Work of Boulder Dam continues. The New Deal Acts continue to bring the United States out of the recession. The United States openly condemns the Japanese Empire for its hostile aggression against China and Congress passes a stricter Export Control Act, which cuts off oil, iron and steel exports to Japan, while Japanese assets in the United States are frozen. American-based companies are also forbidden to do business with Japan, Korea or Manchuria. The Pacific Fleets in Pearl Harbor, San Diego and Seattle are placed on low alert, while troops in the Philippines are put on high alert.
 * Japanese D: Does not understand why the United States would cut off most trade with Japan, stating that a war between powers would be the last thing they want. Japan stops putting out alliance offers to anyone for now.
 * Dude, you're attacking their allies. What do you expect? And why would you stop putting out alliance offers.
 * Brazil:A new constitution is passed, while Getulio Vargas becomes president of the Republic of Brazil, an alliance is asked of Colombia, and trade agreements are offered to Argentina and Peru. While this, some new towns are built along the Amazonas river shore. Military is built up, and the navy begins producing ships, while infrastructure begins to be built as many paths are made to connect the capital with the rest of the nation
 * Germany: Germany continues modernization and rearmament, and Hitler gains even more power. He has the support of most of the people under the motto of "Germany, Awake!" Jews begin to be prosecuted.
 * Greece requests an alliance with the United Kingdom and Italy, and the army and navy continue to be expanded greatly. The grain producing regions of Macedonia become self-sufficient and excess grains are exported to the islands.
 * With the Soviet Union having its second Five Year Plan going smoothly, the agricultural output returning, and internal matters stable (at least to Stalin, who is kept blind of the recent Trotskyist resurgence), Stalin turns his attention to foreign matters, once again aiding Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang, hoping to establish another puppet state there. Stalin distrusts the Japanese, although he remains neutral in the war against China. To the west, eyes are set in Finland, the Baltic States, and Poland.
 * Sweden builds up its military. We become more and more weary of the foreign powers and decide to enter a period of isolation.
 * Argentina builds up its military and economy. The economy shows signs of growth, with the economic reforms now in full swing. The social reforms continue at a good pace. The Palacio Presidencial in Buenos Aires is renovated. The ABI begins operations on corruption nationwide while the paramilitary squads set out on their missions. The Confederation of Latin America is being framed by President Castro, the president of Colombia, and the influential congressmen from both countries. Brazil's request is accepted.
 * Just note that any Latin Confederation would probably be more of an alliance confederation rather than a fully united nation. Nationalism would prevent any sort of Latin union, and would probably require war. ChrisL123 (talk) 04:45, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Refer to the original TE vs CP map game and you'll see what I mean. It started 33 years before this one and the confederation went well. When you go to look at it, please check the archive, not the main game page because the CoLA from TE vs CP Version Two was a disaster and caused an early WW-I.
 * Spain: Conflict continues between the parties in Madrid, between the Falange (Far Right/Fascism) and the Popular Front (Far Left/Communist), which were established during the summer.  President Niceto Alcalá-Zamora leads the current government, under the Popular Front, though disapproves of the many of the left-wing extremists in his party. The Falange elects Francisco Franco, war hero of the Spanish Army, to its leadership. Tensions continue to rise in the Capital.
 * India: We continue to fight the British using guerrilla warfare tactics and we send 300,000 troops to Delhi to take the city from the British beginning the siege of Delhi. We ask for secret support from the USSR
 * Ethiopia: Fearing European colonization, the Ethiopian Emperor orders the modernization of the Imperial Ethiopian Army, ordering 300,000 Lee-Enfield rifles from the military - 150,000 rifles from Britain (come on, I know you have them), while the other 150,000 are built at armories across the empire. He also orders 400,000 khaki uniforms and helmets to replace the white worn by Ethiopian men. The purchase of 200 modern aircraft is placed with the United States and Germany, and the mobilization of the Imperial Guard to serve as the first line of defense is started outside of Addis Ababa. Ambassadors are sent to Japan and the United States to request formal alliances with both, and a third is sent to Britain for aid in training pilots for the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force. AA guns, artillery, and machines guns are built in the empire, while others are sought from other nations (who will sell these to me?). The Emperor is willing to offer a contract to any nation that will build a railway network in his country.
 * Japan: accepts the offer.
 * Oh...you're back? I see...
 * Japanese: Yes, immediately cancels out your other offers.

1935Edit

 * Australia: The Prime Minister goes to press and makes several comments on Radio Australia: “The North Oriental War is far enough away to pose no hazard to Australia yet, but we must still be watchful!”, “The Indian rebellion is none of our business, but if the British request our help, we must support our British friends!”, “The Solomon Islands are too far from the UK for them to defend quickly and too close to Australia and New Zealand to not be protected!” and that “The native Kanacks on New Caledonia mostly fail to learn either French or English, since they have less intelligence than a cooked escargot!”. He then downs a middy of the amber fluid (AKA - glass of beer) and smiles pleasantly. Australia heightens security in Darwin and Cairns. 200 Troopers and 20 airmen are recruited. Thursday Island in Queensland, Kokopo, Rabaul and Port Moresby are given several more machine gun nests and mortar pits, just in case of trouble relating to North Orient War spilling over (none is expected and readiness is low). A new tractor factory opens in Darwin. Australia improves roads in rural Queensland and improves most coal mining in New South Wales. The Aussie recession is easing fast and it appears to be lifting in New Zealand, too. A free trade deal is offered to New Zealand. (Can a mod do a Random.org test on this deal with New Zealand?)
 * Finland: Continues to build up its military and asks Sweden for a defensive alliance. Also we ask any nation willing for modern equipment as ours is outdated.
 * South Africa: Official support for Indian independence is spoken. The South African cricket team wins its first Test cricket match at Lord's Cricket Ground against the English cricket team, but this victory is overshadowed by the riots by black protestors in Pretoria and Cape Town. PM Hertzog gives a speech about the unity and integrity of the nation, but is heckled by the crowd and almost attacked by a black activist who is then sentenced to jail.
 * Japan: Continues the invasion. A lighter SMG begins production. India is supplied with weapons. Scientists Secretly Start creating and stockpiling Chemical weapons Similar to Mustard Gas. Ethiopia is given better tech. A secret police force is created to put down Communist uprisings in Korea.
 * Korea: The military is built up, and infrastructure is improved, and Korea continues to aid in invasion, but not too much as some are busy fighting against the Communist Fraction. Meanwhile, the Communist Fraction continues to launch attacks against the Japanese and Korean government and soon Kim Il Sung secretly asks the Soviet Union for support.
 * Greece continues to expand its army and navy, and continues to try to become self sufficient in grain. Greece asks Italy and Great Britain for an alliance.
 * United States: The embargo placed on Japan continues and with limited oil supplies, many military experts believe that the Japanese war machine would grind to a halt. However, others expect that Japan would launch an invasion of the oil-rich Dutch East Indies. Meanwhile, the vote for independence in the Philippines is put on hold until the Japanese threat is neutralized and peace can return to Asia. Improvement of airfields and naval shipyards in the Philippines begin, while work on Boulder Dam continues.
 * Spain: When a reported Fascist uprising occurs outside of Madrid, the uprising is brutally put down by the Spanish Republican Army, while taking survivors prisoner in State Camps. Fearing a Fascist uprising, President Alcalá-Zamora demands a ban on Fascism, and anyone in support will be arrested.
 * Argentina builds up its military and economy. The economy shows signs of growth, with the economic reforms now in full swing. The social reforms continue at a good pace. The ABI continues operations on corruption nationwide while the paramilitary squads continue the war on drugs. The Confederation of Latin America continues its framing.
 * Italy: Military buildup continues around the empire and roads are built across the heartland as well as Libya, Somalia, and Eritrea. Mussolini decides to try to get friendly relations with Ethiopia, offering modern technology, aid in modernization and a full military alliance in return for friendly relations and open borders. Ethiopia will also be given some land in Somalia so it can have ocean access. An alliance is offered to Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
 * Finnish D: Italy is ask for an alliance.
 * Ethiopian D: We accept on the grounds that you honor your pledges and treat us as an equal partner in your ventures involving our nation.
 * ​Australian D: The UK, Dutch, French and Portuguese ambassadors are told the E. Timor, W. Timor, Dutch West Papua, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are too far from them to defend quickly enough if the North Oriental War eventually spreads into South East Asia, but too close to Australia and New Zealand to not be protected by anyone. An alliance is offered to these nations for the mutual protection of these colonial territories in question (Vanuatu, E. Timor, etc.). (Will mods do a Random.Org test to decide the Dutch and Portuguese alliance?) 40 Papuan troops are recruited and armed. 20 will be sent to guard Dili in E. Timor and 20 sent to guard Honiara in the Solomon Islands if China or Japan enter Indochina, if the UK and Portugal agree.
 * Italy Diplomacy: Italy accepts Finland's alliance offer and accepts Ethiopia's terms and thanks Ethiopia.
 * Ethiopia: On the advice of the Japanese, the Ethiopians cancel their other deals on the agreement that Japan would provide for Ethiopia's industrialization plans. The Emperor inspects his troops to see their new uniforms and weaponry, and states in a speech to the troops that he hopes to include new planes for the air force, and purchase tanks for their formations so as not to send them into battle without adequate firepower.
 * Germany: Germany continues rearmament, especially in their Panzer divisions. Meanwhile, the Luftwaffe is remade under Walther Wever. The Kreigsmarine is built up as well.

1935.5Edit

 * Australia: Lead, copper and zinc mining is increased at the Mount Isa mine. Several machine guns, ten troopers and several mortars are sent to the dependency of Nauru. Port Moseby’s infrastructure is improved and security heightened. The Native Papua Infantry Battalion is strengthened with the enlistment of 30 new Papuan recruits. “Operation Kangaroo” begins in Adelaide’s tank factories to develop a native type of infantry tank that is more adapted to the Australian climate than the imported UK types. Papuan agriculture is upgraded. It is based on taro, yams, coconuts, bananas, varieties of breadfruit and is supplemented by fishing and mollusk gathering. The UK, Dutch, French and Portuguese ambassadors are told once more that E. Timor, W. Timor, Dutch West Papua, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are too far from the for them to defend quickly enough if the North Oriental War eventually spreads into South East Asia, but too close to Australia and New Zealand to not be protected by anyone. An alliance is offered to these nations for the mutual protection of these colonial territories in question (Vanuatu, E. Timor, etc.). (Will mods do a Random.Org test to decide the Dutch and Portuguese alliance?) 40 Papuan troops are recruited and armed. 20 will be sent to guard Dili in E. Timor and 20 sent to guard Honiara in the Solomon Islands if China or Japan enter Indochina, if the UK and Portugal agree. A free trade deal is offered to New Zealand for the third and final time (Can a mod do a Random.org test on this deal with New Zealand?)
 * Mexico: Mexico offers Brazil an alliance (Will Mods do a Random.org test?), while also arming and training a whole regiment. Mexico also offers Germany a free trade agreement. (Will Mods do a Random.org test?)
 * You don't need a random.org test if you are offering alliances to other players, just nations not controlled by players.
 * Japan: Makes slow progress in the invasion of China. At a military base, some Japanese soldiers in Chinese uniforms hijack some Chinese bombers and bomb a U.S base in Washington. Japan then states that China is an enemy to both of us, as they just bombed you. The Imperial police captures some Communists in Korea. Japan continues to supply India with weapons. The new SMG continues to be made, and is supplied to Japan and Ethiopia. Japan also shares weapons information with Ethiopia. Scientists continue to create a secret stash of Chemical weapons, and start mass producing an exceptionally lethal one, called sB2, which is a Blood agent. Gives Germany an alliance offer.
 * Washington State or Washington DC?
 * Sorry. First Map Game
 * It's OK. Let's make Mexico flourish in glory!
 * Ethiopia: With the Japanese aid, the Ethiopian military constructs a number of weapon's plants in the country, and an airplane factory in Addis Ababa. A tank factory is under construction in Dire Dawa, and plans to open a second one in Bahir Dar are under discussion by the Emperor and his aides. Defenses are constructed in Axum and Mek'ele, where elaborate trench systems are placed miles outside and around each city. A military base is built near the road 25 miles west of Mount Mousa Alli, which leads in Eritrea. The construction of railroads is underway, with the first network to be the Addis Abada-Debre Markos-Bahir Dar Railway.
 * Argentina builds up its military and economy. The economy shows signs of growth, with the economic reforms now in full swing. The social reforms continue at a good pace. The ABI continues operations on corruption nationwide while the paramilitary squads continue the war on drugs. The Confederation of Latin America continues its farming. Argentina asks Mexico if they would be interested in joining the Confederation of Latin America, which is temporarily an alliance.
 * Mexico gladly accepts.
 * United States: Work on Boulder Dam continues. Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation determines that the attack on Puget Sound Naval Base was not by the Chinese, due to the Chinese not having the military aircraft capable of striking the US mainland, and suspects that Japan launched the attack from the homeland or an aircraft carrier. The FBI begins to crack down on Japanese, German and Soviet spies in the United States and Philippines, while the Lend-Lease Act is narrowly passed by Congress, exporting arms, ammunition, medical supplies, food, and water to China. Research begins on a more advanced radar and the US Army begins to develop a tank (similar to the M26 Pershing), while development of a new SMG begins.
 * Korea: The military is built up, and infrastructure is improved, and Korea continues to aid in invasion. Meanwhile, the Communist Fraction continues to launch attacks against the Japanese and Korean governments and fights against the secret police. Kim Il Sung secretly asks the Soviet Union for support again.
 * Finland: Continues to build up the military and asks Germany for modern military equipment. Meanwhile in the Finnish politic, the National Socialist League gains some more followers but not even enough to even gain a seat in the next election. The Fascists begin to tell people on the radio that they are the only hope for Finland with the Communist threat at the east and the failure of the west which throws the country into an economic depression.
 * Greece offers ITALY AND THE UNITED KINGDOM AN ALLIANCE. A massive military buildup continues.
 * Italy Diplomacy: Italy accepts the offer.
 * Spain: Further Fascist uprisings occur, which leads to a brutal massacre in Burgos, which claims 20,000 lives, as the President orders "No deje presos!" ("Leave no prisoners!") This is covered up by the government, claiming that the Fascists were trying to take over the country, and were killing people left and right. The President takes a more hardline pro-Communist stance, claiming that Germany and Italy will destroy Europe under their cruel Fascist jackboots. However, it is known that the Spanish have the weakest military for a country their size, and would be crushed by those countries in a disturbingly short amount of time, though he does not have the money to keep conscription, nor to develop new equipment. Representatives ask the French, British or Soviets for new weaponry, to replace the country's greatly outdated arms.
 * Italy: Military buildup continues around the empire and roads are built across the heartland as well as Libya, Somalia and Eritrea. A road is begun through Ethiopia to connect the last two colonies should Ethiopia accept.
 * Ethiopian D: So long as it is for trade and not for any military purposes, we agree to the proposal.
 * Australian D: An alliance and free trade deal is offered to South Africa.
 * India: free Indian forces continue to fight the British mean while British forces in Delhi surrender and we ask Germany for panzer tanks and Japan for aircraft.
 * Germany: Germany continues with rearmament. The Nazi party continues to gain power, and Hitler is now the absolute dictator of Germany.
