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 occurring, especially a naval one between Germany and Britain. The United States is embracing Progressivism. Imperialism has created some rivals, including Austria-Hungary and its conquered subjects and most recently Italy and the "Sick Child of Europe", the Ottoman Empire. The stage is set for a global war.

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 necessarily 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 7900 guns (7100 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 alliance 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 persuade 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-Turkish 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/Infrastructure)
 * 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 diversify 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 three 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 increase 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 capacities 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 toward 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 Philippines are currently a US Territory as the Insular Government of the Philippines 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 Morocco. (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 upward, 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.

Emirate 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 guerrilla 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 propaganda gets released to reclaim the land once part of the united provinces. Argentines 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 assistance 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 navy 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 at war with Greece and Bulgaria this turn. More Ottoman troops will be sent to defend Istanbul. I'm offering an alliance with the Netherlands and Chile. They help me with the Balkan War and I help them with their problems. I recognise the Republic of China.I'm prepared to make peace with Bulgaria and Greece.(military/economy turn)

P.S: I won't be posting until Friday. If a world War breaks out I will remain neutral. Can somebody post my turns? Just say Military/Economy turn.

Austria-Hungary: Our leader Francis Joseph starts the mass production of weapons in factories. We ask Russia, France, and Spain for an alliance. 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 4000 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 American Allies.
 * [Mod Response, RNG]: Ecuador 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 six 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 two regiments of troops to Chile to support their Pacific Conquest. Problems have begun arising in the Rifian Region of Morocco. Hence we begin construction of two new forts and a series of watchtowers near the Rif region and send four 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 withdrawal from our alliance with Chile within the next year. We also open Barcelona to France as a staging area.
 * Spanish Dip: We agree to withdraw 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.

Emirate 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 soldiers, 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 their 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 5000 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. Because of the war, we develop Chilean military technology, '''and aim to become as technologically advanced as Spain. Chile introduces War Taxes, allowing the economy to improve and more money to go toward the soldiers, boosting morale. (Military/Technology turn) Democratic Socialist Republic of Serbia: We invest further in renewable and efficient energy sources, building 10 windfarms across the country. We improve our military because of the threat of a world war. (Technology/Military)
 * Korea: Economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * Taiwan: Infrastructure and military are improved.
 * Tanks were only invented because of trench warfare, which isn't happening yet.

Sun Yat-Sen organizes multiple major cargo ships, liners and fish boats in Guangdong and sink them in the Hong Kong bay an hour after war is declared. The line of sunken ships stop the British Chinese fleet from leaving the Hong Kong port. Meanwhile, the artillery corps are sent to Shenzheng and bombs the Hong Kong port. Despite the destruction of nearly half of the artillery corps, almost 90% of ships in the Chinese fleet is sunk, with only one battleship, two cruisers and five destroyers and torpedo boats escaping Hong Kong. After the destruction of the Hong Kong Fleet, the 100,000 strong army launches an offensive on Hong Kong. After three weeks of bloody engagements, including multiple revolts of the Chinese populace in Hong Kong, the 40,000 British garrison of Hong Kong is whittles down to 5000 and starved out on the Southern point of the Island of Hong Kong. After taking 40,000 in casualties, the Chinese have won. The press depicts it as a revenge upon the imperialist powers that has insulted China in the past 70 years. The press gloss overs the fact that the current government has allied with other imperialist Nations. Chiang Kai-Shek enlists in the first Chinese Landing force, who are planned to be sent to Malaysia. Mao Ze Dong also enlists in the 11th Army, which would be sent to India. Our three main boat factories, the Jiangnan boat factory, the Fuzhou boat factory and the Tangu boat factory. Our second and third destroyer is built in the Jiangnan and Tangu boat factory.

Chinese Diplomacy: We declare war on the United Kingdom and Colonies.

Chile: In the Chilean 1915 general election, '''Juan Luis Sanfuentes gains control of parliament. Meanwhile, Operation: Flight Gun is completed''' and Chilean "Fighter Planes" begin being produced. Chile declares war on the UK, aiding our Spanish allies. We also demand the USA change the Monroe Doctrine or face war with Chile, as we have just intervened in European affairs. We also begin work on a new military project, named Operation: Weapon of Steel.

Ottoman Empire: As our alliance with France lasts, I declare war on the United Kingdom and invade Qatar, Kuwait and Yemen (which is under British control). The Ottoman Empire request that we and the Emirate of Nejd have joined forces to defeat the British. I request to join France's alliance. All of the countries resources go to the war effort. (Military/economy)

Democratic Socialist Republic of Serbia: We enforce compulsory conscription and use every weapon we have against Austria-Hungary. We also make new technology to use in the war against Austria-Hungary. DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIED

Italy: We find the British betrayal of their ally France to be detestable and thus we answer the French Call to war by declaring war on the United Kingdom, joining the side of the Anti-British coalition. The Italian National Association grows in power as a result of our joining of the war, and we take some of their ideas to prepare for the war. In order to prepare for the war, we mobilize our troops and nationalize our industry and dedicate our industry to the war as well as expanding our infranstructure, resulting in the expansion of both our military and industry, resulting in the improvement of military and infrastructure. We also send our soldiers by train to Northern France to join the Anti-British coalition in the campaign to push back the British invasion of Northern France.

1915.5
War Report: '''Britain is fended off in Europe. China and Siam successfully invade India. Japan is gaining in Australia. Siam's invasion of Malaya and Allied invasion of Oman, Yemen, and Trucial States fail. Also, China takes Hong Kong and Spain takes Gibraltar (no algos needed, just common sense)'''

After bombings and losses in war, an Independence Movement grows in Ireland.

'''An 8.1 magnitude earthquake hits Chile near Antofagasta. '''

Spain: We launch ten cruisers into the Manche and attack British positions in Southampton. We also carpet bomb London and Plymouth.
 * France Dip: We advise Spain to send troops to Britain to fight alongside French troops. We also tell Spain to not send troops elsewhere (as we do better in the algo with just one front). Finally, we ask Spain to send leaders to the Conference of Nice.
 * Spanish Dip: We send five regiments through the newly conquered Southampton and ask the allies to use Southampton as a staging area.

Emirate of Nejd: Military continue to improve. The Emir Saud ibn Abdulaziz dies of a fever, and thus the Viceroy Zamal Ali Al-Sabhan is proclaimed the new Emir. 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. Machine guns, gas masks and bayonets are purchased from the French. '''Having been pushed back in the Gulf, the Emirate concentrates its forces to the south against the Protectorate of Aden and Oman. We call on Spain and Persia for support. '''The Ottomans are repudiated for their claim on lands that belong to the Arabs.

France: The French people rejoice as the British are driven out. We increase conscription, and launch an amphibious invasion of Britain. We secretly ask Spain, Italy, and Russia to supply ships, planes, and troops to help in the invasion. We remind everyone that if we capture London, all of the colonies can be ours. We offer the allied countries of Europe (Spain, Italy, Russia, Ottomans) to have a conference on war strategy and agreements for possible diplomacy if we win the war. This will be the secret Conference of Nice. (Mil/Tech)
 * Spanish Dip: Prime Minister Eduardo Dato e Iradier agrees to attend the Conference of Nice.
 *  Chinese Dip:  Minister of Diplomacy Wellington Koo agrees to attend the Conference of Nice as representative of the Republic of China.
 * China can't get there realistically because Britain still has the Suez Canal. 
 * Well, telegrams anyone?
 * Or overland through the Trans-Siberian Railway, I think I can get to Nice in three months.
 * Also, if you didn't notice, France only invited Mediterranean Allies so that it would not need to deal with travel. And you can have a separate one for the Pacific with Thailand, Japan, and Indochina if you want.

Thailand: Thailand continues building up its military and improves infrastructure. New ports also continue construction. Monarch Vajiravudh begins planning reforms for the nation. Thailand continues war against the UK, though backs out of Malaya after a failed invasion.
 * France: Suggests a second invasion of Malaya with help from French Indochina.
 * Thai Diplomacy: After some thought, Monarch Vajiravudh agrees, and decides to launch another invasion of Malaya.
 * France: Backs out of this after deciding to put all, Empire-wide focus on invasion of Britain. Thailand also will therefore rescind invasion unless they want to go ahead alone.

Chile: The Chilean government waits for a response from the USA in relation to the Monroe Doctrine change. We also deploy troops to the UK to try to gain land in the homeland. Meanwhile, Chile attacks the British from the air with the Chilean Air Force launching attacks on British South America. We continue work on Operation: Weapon of Steel and develop a moving heavily armoured vehicle nicknamed the "Armourtron." We continue to improve Chilean citizens quality of life to lower chances of rebellions when we annex more territory in South America. (Mil/Tech turn) Republic of China: We improve our industry and military. The final stage of our railroad, Nanjing to Shanghai is finished by. More factories are built in Manchuria, Hubei, Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta. More farm collectives are built in agricultural states. Taiwan is bought from Japan and incorporated as the Province of Taiwan. Sa Zhenbing is appointed as the governor of Taiwan. With Mongolia and Hong Kong recaptured, we also capture the leased territories Shanghai. Sun Yat-Sen starts operations to clear the sunken ships and salvage British vessels. After more than two months of work, he has salvaged the first Chinese Battleship from the sunken HMS Resolution of the HMS Royal Sovereignty Class Battleships. It is renamed ROCS Fujian and naval engineers immediately conduct research on the ship. We send 200,000 soldiers, veterans from the Mongolian War, Battle of Hong Kong and fresh recruits, toward British Malaya. They pass through French Indochina and Thailand and begins attacking the British Colonial possessions. Chiang starts spreading KMT ideals in the army. We sent the 11th army into Burma and it enters Bangladesh. Mao Zedong becomes a lieutenant after leading his battalion to defeat a British-Indian Platoon using mobile warfare tactics. His platoon also becomes one of the first elite after being trained by Mao and also taught Mao's Communist ideas. However, due to Mao's dangerous political alliance, the High Command sent him as a military advisor to the Indian Guerrillas. There, Mao met Barin Ghosh and they begin to lead a campaign of guerrilla warfare against the British colonisers in Bengal. We begin constructions of our first cruiser, the "Huangshan" in the Jiangnan boat factory.
 * Absolutely no. Not only is it crazy or Chile to have an air force at this time, but the first transatlantic flight hasn't even occured yet. Plain no. All troops would need to go by boat
 * Apologies, I should have made it more clear that I was focusing on their South American colonies.
 * That's still unrealistic unless you can land in Colombia or Venezuela on the way.
 * Brazil is at war with them too, so I suppose I could.

 Chinese Diplomacy:   We send Wellington Koo to the Conference of Nice through the Trans-Siberian Railway. Brazil: Brazil continues to improve its economy 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 25.4 million people. Continue mass building of early fighters and bombers on military airports. 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 churches are built. Brazil continues mobilization and is 68% completed. Meanwhile, more new trains are produced and two new railway lines are opened in service. '''While Britain is about to fall and defeated by Allies in World War I, Brazil declares war on United Kingdom, as Venceslau Brás declares that state of Brazil wants to take British Guiana and made it into Dutch territory of Brazil. 100,000 soldiers are send to attack British Guiana.'''
 * Again, you weren't even invited because of travel and most of the topics do not concern you.

Empire of Japan: The Empire continues its war against the British Empire in Australia, as the Nippon Kaigun moves into Australia to blockade British Oceania and engage the Royal Navy vessels stationed there. We send an additional 100,000 soldiers to Australia and deploy 20 biplanes in an attempt to test them. With a war ongoing, military spending increases to 8% of GDP/GNP, with more equipment, most notably guns and artillery pieces are made. The air force sees massive expansion, while more navy ships are constructed. More railways and factories are built (Mil/Infra) We propose the formation of an East Asian Commonwealth with China, with the aims to increase defense, political, and economic co-operation between our countries
 * Korea: Military and infrastructure are improved.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: We join the East Asian Commonwealth as a founding nation and we ask that Siam would be invited to the Commonwealth.

Russia: Russia begins sending forces into Western Australia where the enemy is less concentrated. We attempt to take Perth, and begin bombing raids on Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide, leaving Japan to deal with the north. Our navy engages the Royal Navy forces stationed in Perth and at Port Hedland. Popularity for the Tsar skyrockets as the war seems to be going well for the Empire.
 * France: Strongly advises Russia to send their troops to mainland Britain for an invasion rather than attacking Australia. Australia can come later.

Ottoman Empire: As our invasion of Yemen failed, we are starting our invasion of Kuwait where we put about 250,000 troops to overthrow the British. We are continuing our invasion of Qatar where we're sending another 250,000 troops. We are sending 100,000 to defend our part of Yemen while we got 20,000 to spare. We are continuing our military buildup and now we've got a standing army of 620,000. All of our resources go to the war effort. (Military/Tech)

Persia: Persia attacks Kuwait, Trucial States, Oman, and Yemen.

Germany: The Kaiser, Wilhelm II, is killed in a tragic motor accident this year. His much more liberal son, Wilhelm III, takes power. At the advice of the Social Democratic leader Friedrich Ebert, whose party seizes control of the Reichstag, he urgently begins increasing the power of the civilian administration, stripping the military of much of its power over policy. Meanwhile, liberalizing reforms, including expanded welfare and better worker protection laws. However, Chancellor Ebert decides the military administration needs a war to distract it. With Austria-Hungary having left the Triple Entente, Germany sees a major threat to its predominance in Central Europe. Furthermore, the Austrian invasion of Romania, ruled by a fellow Hohenzollern, is seen as an attempt by the Habsburgs to expand its dynastic interests. Accordingly, Germany declares war on Austria-Hungary, mobilizing two million troops for a massive invasion into Galicia and Austria itself. German columns rush for Vienna, Budapest, and Innsbruck, declaring a war of German national liberation from the corrupt and ineffective Habsburgs. Germany secretly promises the Hungarians and South Slavs independence after the war, and many rush to support the German troops. Serbia is secretly sent an offer of Bosnia-Herzegovina if it will attack Austria from the South.

Italy: We continue with nationalizing the industry and dedicating the industry and infrastructure to the war, resulting in the rapid expansion of industry and infanstructure. With the success of the military campaign in Northern France, there is a surge of nationalism, and the Nationalists continue to grow in power. We also join the Anti-British Alliance in their invasion of the United Kingdom and send 15,000 troops to the invasion and we invade the British city of Plymouth. As a result of the growth of infrastructure and the military build up, we invest in infrastructure and military this turn.

Austria-Hungary: All factories are mass producing military weapons and vehicles. Planes for our air force are being built. The navy has about 175 ships in its force. Farming is our second biggest industry after the military industry. The building of new universities is continuing for more scientists can do their 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. Since Germany is attacking we shift our army from attacking Serbia to attacking Germany.
 * Good News and Bad News. Good News: You get to leave the Triple Alliance, because the two alliances have fallen apart. Bad News: Your only remaining ally is Britain.

1916.0
War Update: '''Allied invasion of Britain is successful, and London is surrounded. Australia pushes out Japanese troops. Germany and Serbia begin to make gains in Austria-Hungary. Qatar falls to Jabal Shammar and Kuwait to the Ottomans, but invasions of Yemen and Oman fail. Northern India has been conquered by China and Siam.'''

'''Ireland declares Independence from Britain. Romania declares independence from Austria, and joins the allies.'''

With Germany now in the war, Holland declares war on Britain.

Spain: We cut all relations with Austria-Hungary and move troops into Ireland to assist the Irish in an independence movement.

Thailand: Thailand continues building up its military and improves infrastructure. New ports also continue construction. Monarch Vajiravudh begins planning reforms for the nation. Thailand continues war against the UK, and also holds of invading Malaya until France finishes their war in Britain proper.

Norway: Neutrality is currently the norm. Although we seek no alliances, we desire to have at least peaceful relations with our neighbors ... except for Denmark. (Military/Economy Turn)

Republic of China: We improve our industry and military. Mao Yi Sheng 茅以升, the great architect and engineer, builds the final part of the railroad, including the first Chinese built bridge over the Yangtze River. More factories are built in Manchuria, Hubei, Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta. By now, there are more than 10,000 factories opened in China. (In OTL, 4,000 are built from 1912-1914). More farm collectives are built in agricultural states. '''We establish mandatory elementary schools all over the country, for children from 6 years old to 12 years old. We continue banning opium in the country, establishing many rehabilitation centers.''' Hong Kong is reincorpoated into the country as a free trade area, where tariffs are next to nonexistent. It quickly regained its status of one of Far East Asia's greatest cities. With us at war against the United Kingdom, we forcibly reclaim rights to our tariffs, customs and salt taxes. Sun Yat-Sen appoints his student Wang Jinwei as the governor of the city. Our 200,000 soldiers begin attacking British Malaya. With the support of Chinese immigrants, our army moved rather quickly, reaching the suburbs of Kuala Lumper by the end of June. Meanwhile, the 11th (Bangladesh), 12th (Hindustan) and 13th (Sindh) army continue making gains, as we push into the Indian Peninsula. In our occupied territory, we establish four main nations, Bengal, Hindustan, Sindh and Panjab. Mao Zedong, in his guerilla campaigns, wrote "On Guerilla Warfare", with the sixteen word thesis of "When the enemy advances, we retreat. When the enemy is fortified, we harass. When the enemy is tired, we attack. When the enemy retreats, we chase them down" (敌进我退，敌驻我扰，敌疲我打，敌退我追). In June, 6th, President Yuan dies after 6 days of sickness. His last words were "to rid Japan of a great enemy, to rebuilt democracy and republicanism in China" (為日本去一大敵，為中國再造共和). After his death, elections begin in the parliament between two main candidates, Li Yuan hong and Duan Qi rui. We begin building our first battleship, the Mountains Class, with the first battleship "Taishan", after finding blueprints and designs in Hong Kong.

Chinese Diplomacy: We invite leaders of the Allied Nations to come to the funeral of our Founder and President Yuan, which will be held in August.
 * French Dip: We send our Governor-General of Indochina.
 * Thai Diplomacy: Monarch Vajiravudh goes to attend the funeral.

Russia: We attempt to continue to push into Australia. We attempt to occupy parts of the Kimberley and are intensifying our airstrikes upon Perth, Adelaide and Port Hedland. We also continue air raids on London and other British cities. Our armies are readied to land in Britain. Rail networks throughout the Empire are expanded. A Trans-Siberian Railway begins construction. (MOD RESPONSE, PLEASE in respect to Australian attack)

Ottoman Empire: After the Ottoman Empire has taken Kuwait, 20,000 more men joined the Ottoman army. Now we prepare for an amphibious invasion of the Emirates. 520,000 men will be sent to the Emirates. We still keep 100,000 men in Yemen. After the emirates are defeated we are going to keep neutral in any other conflict. Mehmed V announces that after the Emirates are defeated, they'll be construction project to premote the standerred of living in the Empire. It will be called the Mehmed project.(Mil/Tech)

Chile: With the UK being crushed in South America, '''we ask our allies, Argentina and Uruguay, to declare war on the UK. We decide to attack Australia and New Zealand,''' following the Japanese defeat there. Meanwhile, we '''begin to look at ways for our armoured vehicle to attack. While Brazil is sending most of their troops to attack the UK, we retreat back to the Pacific Coast of Peru and the Southernmost section, declaring these lands ours. We also set up a puppet Peruvian government''' in our occupied territory that we don't annex. (Mil/Infra turn)

Empire of Japan: '''The defeat in Australia has encouraged more Japanese men to serve their emperor, with roughly 200,000 more men voluntarily joining. The amount of biplanes in Australia increases to 50 and three combat dirigibles enter service in Australia. The Navy also blockades Eastern Australia and New Zealand in an attempt to starve them into submission''' The infrastructure is improved as roads are built, widened, and improved to accommodate the vehicular expansion the middle class while more railways are built. The navy produces more ships and the army and air force expand. We offer to buy the Philippine islands from the United States Austria-Hungary: All factories are mass producing military weapons and vehicles. Planes for our air force are continuing to be built. Factories start to make prototype tanks. Blue prints for the tanks are kept in secret. The navy has about 190 ships in its force. Farming is our second biggest industry after the military industry. The building of new universities is continuing for more scientists can do their secret work for the government. We still send troops to the German-Austrian border to not allow German troops to come into our nation. '''We ask Serbia for a white peace. ''' We will not give up our Romanian gains. Emirate of Nejd: Military continue to improve. The Emir Saud ibn Abdulaziz dies of a fever, and thus the Viceroy Zamal Ali Al-Sabhan is proclaimed the new Emir. 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. Machine guns, gas masks and bayonets are purchased from the French. '''Having been pushed back in the Gulf, the Emirate concentrates its forces to the south against the Protectorate of Aden and Oman. We call on Spain and Persia for support.''' France: France, now that we are close to capturing London, makes a peace proposal to Britain. '''We offer Britain to retain their independence, in exchange for the allied powers to divide up their colonies. We also ask that Canada and Ireland (and possibly Australia) become independent nations. This deal would also lay out how to divide military supplies among the colonies, and force Britain to pay reparations.''' But still, this is better than making Britain into post WWII Germany. We continue to beseige London and capture land farther North. We recognize Irish independence. (Mil/Tech) Sweden: With the war going against Britain, we decrease our iron ore shipping to Britain and increase it with France. Our food shipments to the Allies also increased. The nation continues industrialization, with new factories opening in Stockholm.
 * Korea: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * [MOD RESPONSE, RNG]: USA declines.
 * Tanks were only a result of trench warfare, which has not happened yet (but may be interesting in your front...)
 * Romania declared independence and is now fighting against you.
 * Germany: Offers Nejd a trade deal, including help in industrialization in exchange for cheap oil.
 * Russia: The Empire protests against the motion of making Australia and Canada independent nations, as we wish to occupy territories within western and southern Australia in the event of Britain's surrender.
 * France: We will allow Russia, China, Japan, and others to have colonies in Australia.

Germany: Continues to war against Austria-Hungary, with its vastly superior troops fighting a maneuver war that prevents the Austrians from delaying their advance or setting up defensive works. The superior German air force proves essential, providing German artillery with vital intelligence, and planes begin to be loaded with ordnance to drop on battlefields. With the Tyrol and Bohemia liberated, Germany incorporates the ethnic-German areas it has occupied into Germany, while the Czechs are granted wide autonomy. Germany continues to incite nationalism among the Magyars, South Slavs and Czechs, urging them to rebel. Tens of thousands greet the German troops as liberators, with independence promised after the war, and join special units set up for that purpose. Meanwhile, the German fleet enters the Mediterranean, smashes the tiny Austro-Hungarian one, and lands an expeditionary force near Trieste, outflanking Austrian defensive positions near Innsbruck and allowing German troops to seize Carniola and German Austria. In the north, German troops force their way into Galicia and push for the Hungarian Plain.

Norway: Not much happens. Some conscription has occurred in the military, increasing the size by 20%. Some minor developments are achieved, and we still seek no alliances but at least friendly relations. (Military/Technology Turn)

Spain: We secure the Irish Capital of Dublin and help the IRA hold off the British. We '''request assistance from France. '''

Russia: Russian troops land in Britain via Dunkirk. Our divisions join the besieging forces in London and begin to plan an infantry assault on the city.

Emirate of Nejd: Military continue to improve. The Emir Saud ibn Abdulaziz dies of a fever, and thus the Viceroy Zamal Ali Al-Sabhan is proclaimed the new Emir. 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.
