1900:
U.S.A: We start to build up army and begin doing imperialism to spread democracy.

New Zealand: Offer is made to the US to buy Hawaii, meanwhile an invasion of Fiji is undergone and the small island nation is quickly annexed. Mexico: The Battle of Mazocoba results in over 500 military casualties between the Mexican an Yaqui forces. The Yaqui Wars and the Caste Wars against Native Mexican Indians are strongly crushing rebellions.
 * U.S.A Diplomacy: U.S.A will only accept if given Fiji in return, in trade.
 * N.Z.D: How about a military base on Fiji and money?
 * U.S.A Diplomacy: We accept.

China: Builds up army. Declares itself now a constitutional monarchy. Buys foreigh books and open the first university, the Beijing University in China. The university has four main subjects: Languages, The Arts, Mechanics and Science. Develops its first rifles and ships. Strengthens coastal defences.

India: A great uprising in many prominant cities, following notorious custody death of a political leader named Tilak. Prime Minister Robert Cecil says "He is concerned with ongoing activities". Dockworkers, spinning mill workers are on verge of strike. Plague breakdown in some old cities of Caunpore, Gaya, Benaras.

1900.5
New Zealand: The Soloman Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Papau New Guinea, Nauru, and Kiribati are all invaded and almost all are immediatly taken over. Reasearch goes into airplanes, but for the most part the government focuses on airships and zepplins. An offer is made to America to buy Somoa, and industrilization continues.
 * U.S.A Diplomacy: We will sell Samoa but demand you do not take your imperialism past Hawaii. Past Hawaii is too close to our borders.
 * New Zealand Diplomacy: Agreed.

Germany: Germany reorganizes its colonies into the Commonwealth of German Africa under white rule. Mass deportations of blacks begins and they are dumped near the Chinese coast as the colonies run better without them. The colonies then begin a small economic boom. Germany also prepares to invade a certain nation. Military buildup continues.
 * New Zealand Diplomacy: Alliance?
 * Germany: Accepts

Mexico: The Caste War of Yucatán officially ends, although Mayan skirmishers continue sporadic fighting. Research into the use of aircraft for military purposes begins.

France: France begins subsidizing and increasing military and industry. Research begins on air forces and land support units. Production of battleships also increases. A large network of extensive defenses are commissioned along the eastern border of France, including Belgium, weakening ties to between the two nations.

France offers the Russian Empire, Great Britain, the United States of America, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands non aggression pacts and alliance offers.
 * U.S.A Diplomacy: We accept both.

French African Colonies: Recruitment and training of colonial armies begin. French colonial exports increase, funding the expensive military expansion.

United States: We build up our army and navy and invades the small countries of Midway, Puerto Rico, and Cuba and quickly annex them. Two brothers named Orville and Wilbur Wright test first heavier-than-airplane. It works after the 2nd try but the army generals and president fail to see how they could use it. They decide to use them for spy planes. They send designs of the plane to their ally France.
 * France:France thanks their allies for the designs and immediately sends them to their military research department

India: British PM Robert Cecil agrees to send Brown Commission to review possibilities of granting Constitutional Monarchy to India. Brown Commission gives report affirmative with division of India in three states India (hindu dominance), Hyderabad (state with Muslim dominance) and Sind-Pushtu territory (Muslim dominance) by 1905. Muslim league representing muslim and Indian Congress (representing mostly hindus) initially do not agree but later ready to take this deal.

France: France continues upgrading their military. Construction begins on the defenses along their eastern border. Preparations are made for an invasion of the country of Switzerland. Prototype long range artillery is moved to the border. After a heavy bombardment French soldiers overrun Geneva. French forces enter the city and prepare for a siege of Bern, where the primary Swiss defenses now lie. A secondary force arrives from the north and begins the siege of Basel.

French African Colonies: Thousands of newly-trained colonial soldiers are moved to Europe by sea.

1901
France: French soldiers take the city of Basel. Bombardment begins of Bern, as soldiers from the west surround the city. Both sides take considerable casualties in the initial assault. The northern French army moves southeast, winning a major victory against the Swiss near Zurich. France issues a peace proposal to Switzerland; full annexation. Official peace talks begin. Meanwhile industrialization and military buildup continues in France and her colonies.

Mexico: Autocrat Porfirio Díaz is assassinated by revolutionaries as his regime grows unpopular due to repression and political stagnation. Francisco I. Madero is elected new president with almost 90% of the vote. The USA is offered a non-aggression pact. United States: Creates first airplane with gun attached and mass produces them. Builds up army, air force, and navy. New Zealand: An offer is made to France to buy all of their Pacific colonies. The Marshall Islands, Papau New Guinei, and East Timor are all taken over. Zepplins begin being utalized in the airforce, and the navy is expanded greatly. China: Builds up coastal defences and start building a navy of Chinese battleships.
 * U.S.A Dilomacy: We decline.
 * The first planes with guns didn't even come around until late WW1, and that was because a French pilot shot at a German pilot with a pistol. Not to mention it took months for the pilots to figure out how to work the guns and fly, and not shoot off their own propellors. Wait for another half-decade or so.
 * But this is ALTERNATE HISTORY. Anyway, it's not that hard to add a rifle to a plane and have someone shoot it.
 * That would be inaccurate and probably not hit anyone, but I suppose you are kinda right.
 * France: France proposes trading all of French Polynesia and the French Pacific colonies for the island of Papua New Guinea
 * N.Z.D: Declined.
 * Papau New Guinea isn't an island, it's half an island and a country.
 * France: Okay good point.

India: Both divided factions(Hindu and Muslim) continue to fight, while British troops watch the scene unperturbly. Both start gathering weaponry from GB. Hindu leader Savarkar comes up with an idea of socio-political villages, which will be self-sufficient in terms of society, political structure and defence. He starts off with pilot project near Bombay.

1901.5
France: Bern is secured by French forces. After weeks of negotiations the Swiss agree to full annexation (not sure if I need a algorithm of mod decision on that). French soldiers occupy major Swiss cities. In French Indochina military recruitment is at an all time high. An invasion of Siam/Thailand is planned and executed along the eastern border. The initial assault is successful against the mainly irregular Thai army. Mass production of long range artillery and aircraft begins. Infrastructure and defenses continue to grow. An alliance is offered to New Zealand.

'''It is fine, but you may start a war. You have been warned.''' United States: Makes it's military and navy huge and makes plans of invading a certain country. No, it is not France.
 * Germany: Horrified at France annexing peaceful Switzerland, the Germans declare war on France in the name of liberating Switzerland and the German Army is soon advancing deep into French occupied Switzerland while trying t not to hurt Swiss property. German forces also invade through the Franco-German border and take much land while German troops use the Schleifin Plan and are soon outside Paris,. France is told to release the Swiss orwhen the war ends, all of France will be annexed or a vassal state.
 * U.S.A: Also horrified, we demand that the French get out of Switzerland or face war.
 * New Zealand: Being allied with Germany, who is at war with you, we must decline your alliance offer. Infact, we will aid Germany.

New Zealand: Honoring it's military alliance with Germany, New Zealand invades and quickly captures most. French Pacific islands and a invasion force is sent to and lands in OTL Vietnam, making a massive landing and securing much of the coast due to the French being occupied with the Thai, while zepplins are used for bombings. The first tank is made, though it is slow, basically immobile, and offers little protection it is dismissed but attempts continue.

India: Despite ongoing tensions, a major programme of educational reforms and infrastructure development is taken by government.

1902


France: The French defenses along the Eastern border hold back the German army, who suffer large casualties from the initial assault. The Germans hold near Zurich where the occupying French have the upper ground. The first French planes are used against the Germans, primarily as reconnaissance, while the use of long range artillery, costs many German lives. Due in part to the upgraded infrastructure/rail system French reserves get to the border in record time. Colonial soldiers enter Togoland and the western German colonies. Several native peoples under the Germans, including Herero, revolt in favor of the French, rebelling against their German masters. Fleeing Africans are armed by the French Foreign Legion. In Indochina the large native French colonial engage the New Zeelanders at Vung Tau, where the heavy bombings and harsh landing conditions prevent the invaders from advancing inland. The New Zeelanders also meet resistance near Phan Thiet, Cam Lam, and Qui Nhon. The Thai agree to colonial annexaton, and much of the French army is moved east. The remainder of te army occupies Bangkok, and moves into the northwest and southern provinces whee rebel factions still operate, loyal to the government of Thailand. France calls on its ally, the United States of America for financial/military aid. (As for the other requests I made regarding alliances, can a mod accept/reject for the countries with no players?)

'''What "bombers"? The only people with aircraft are the U.S (which are planes with guns), and New Zeeland (who has actual zepplin bombers) and if you mean artillary the New Zeelanders caught you off guard while you were busy with Siam, unless all of a sudden France had teleportaion technology Also, this German battle plan was used in WW1 and WW2, in WW1 it didn't work so well since they didn't stick to the plan (which ATL Germany is sticking to), and in WW2 they captured France in about two weeks. Just pull troops to fight off the Germans, and accept that the coast of Indochina is lost (for now).''' Canada:  MIlitary is expanding. Research into a faster machine gun(like a gatiling gun) that dosent get jammed. They hear about the new Horseless carrage invented in the U.S and decidt to research into that also. Greenland is invaded, and The U.S is asked for the northeastern portion of Alaska in return for Nova Scotia
 * France: The quote says 'where the heavy bombings'. I did not once say anything about bombers as in planes. I am referring to artillery. Also I do have a makeshift air force (of reconnaissance planes) that the US personally gave me. In Vietnam several major cities have artillery units posted. Yes, they did caught me off guard, which is why they haven taken Phan Thiet, Cam Lam, and Qui Nhon. Near Saigon there is a siege in place, which is what I am referring to. To reply to your comment about the plan, please note that the plan wasn't actually made until about five years before world war one. Also as I noted in my previous comment (which I will move here) France has several defenses, INCLUDING THE BELGIAN BORDER, unlike real life. If you don't mind I'd prefer to realistically fight these battles not just hand over Indochina because someone instantly occupied the area in one turn. Here is my previous comment which hopefully a mod will review:
 * France: I don't think it's very logic that you could have mobilized your entire army, invaded, and occupied Switzerland and half of France in such little time, especially considering the huge defensive structures. Also keep in mind that approximately 1,000,000  French soldiers are deployed along the border and in Switzerland. Not to mention the 500,000~ colonial soldiers in reserve. Furthermore the Schlieffen Plan wasn't even fully created at this time.
 * Fair enough, your point on the German invasion does seem valid, but I don't think you ever said that military uniters were placed in the Vietnameese cities. But remember that Germany had been preparing for like 2 years.
 * How does Franc eget 500,000 COLONIAL forces into France. Theres not that many colonial troops available without leaving your colonies WIDE OPEN to attack. Fine, Germanys gonna get some colonies.

New Zealand: Soldiers landed in Northern Indochina make great success with minimal losses down to Dong Hoi, taking most of the land, but further south soldiers take a few small cities, but the siege of larger cities is undergone and it is believed they will fall quickly, especially when zepplin bombers arrive and a second smaller wave is sent to the souther region, while soldiers in the north also press west and south, but are held by returning French forces. Overall the attack was not as succesful as hoped, but succesful enough. The first few cars are produced though in small quantaties and a steam powered tank is build and is basically a a  slow, thick metal, disk with a cannon in it and a crew with muskets, and one is deployed in the southern region of Indochina as a test. Meanwhile, a Buddhist movemant sweeps across Papau New Guinea, Fiji, and other smaller islands, much to the anger of Christians.
 *  U.S.A diplomacy: No.
 * Denmark is going to be pissed.

United States: Invades Mexico. Takes much of the northern area, but encounters resistance eventually.

If Mexico does not become active, it will be annexed by the U.S.A.

Germany: German forces surge past Zurich after a bitter battle. The USA and Britain are asked to help save Switzerland, the nation of peace. Germany finaly breask throught he foritfacations and take roughly 34 miles of land from the border while German forces numbering rouglhy 1,765,000 men with 800,000 more reserves are mobilized, bringing the number up to 2,565,000 men. The Frencha are also forced back to the Seine River where the advance is halted and more troops are brought to the front. Forts are built along the front and trenches are dug whiel machine guns are posted along the entire front to mow down enemy forces.

German Colonies: Seeing the easy undefended land in French Africa, the Germans in Kameroon invade French Africa and begin to advane very easily due to the complete absence of French forces due to 500,000 being in Europe. German forces also land in Madagascar and begin to conquer the French puppet.
 * France: I honestly think attacking Madagascar as well is a little unrealistic

China: China begins reforms and starts industrialising most of its major cities, ask Germany, Russia, Britain and USA for an alliance.

1902.5
France: In Switzerland a large force sweeps toward Zurich from the north, near Liestal, surrounding the German force advancing past Zurich. The main German force is routed to east of Obersee (Lake Zurich), creating a front up to the German-held Frauenfeld. Zurich is heavily fortified, as is the entirety of the Swiss front. A large French force under Ferdinand Foch advanced north of Switzerland, placing Stuttgart under siege. The Germans are forced back to Jamy on the French-German front. In the north German forces are pocketed against the Belgian border. (Did German ever end up invading Belgium? I believe that was a part of their plan, so is it safe to say Belgium is at war with Germany?). In Africa Togoland is secured. Colonial troops are moved back to Africa, aiding the mediocre-sized garrison of professional soldiers. In German West Africa the French-aided rebel uprising causes the German colonial forces to retreat south. As a large German colonial force is organized and advances into Cameroon (as noted by Germany) they are made by heavy pro-French rebels and militia. The French colonial army scrambles south, as the majority of soldiers in Togoland are moved south. The French navy crushes German transports heading for Madagascar (I'm basing the strength of our navies on the fact that at the outbreak of World War One the French had 4 dreadnought battleships, 17 pre-dreadnought battleships, 22 armoured cruisers, 13 protected cruisers, 35 destroyers, 180 torpedo boats, and 50 submarines. Plus I never slowed down naval production at the turn of the century. While Germany had 22 pre-Dreadnoughts, 19 dreadnought battleships and 7 battle-cruisers). French naval forces enter the Heligoland Bright and the coast of Northern German, blockading all trade and naval movements. More ships remain en route. In Indochina the main French force crosses through Laos and attacks the New Zeelanders from the west. The French force greatly outnumbers the invaders who are spread out among several hundred kilometers. Dong Hoi, Vinh, and Nam Dinh are easily taken in a matter of weeks. The The Siege of Hanoi now rests highly in French favor. The city's people scramble together, building fortifications out of the ruins and taking arms alongside the French Garrison. Artillery is slowly brought from the west to join the minimal Hanoi cannon defenses. Veterans hardened from the south Thai campaign arrive in the south where the Siege of Saigon has so far been unsuccessful. The invaders along the coastal towns are unable to advance with much haste (much like Gallipoli, for example) where harsh landing zones (in terms of weather and land formations) and lack of supplies leave the invaders little advantage. Constant artilelry shelling from inland continues. Machine gun nests and snipers are stationed in large quantities. The French colonial navy blocks off many much needed New Zeelander reinforcements and supplies in the South China Sea. Planes are used for the first time as fighters, with basic guns equip. Despite the slightly high chance of plane malfunctions, hundreds of pilots are trained in Europe and Indochina. France asks their ally, the United States for support. France also renews its requests toward for alliances to the Russian Empire, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands. (IF a mod could review those that would be great). Mass recruitment and propaganda campaigns in France and her territories is highly successful and large quantities of soldiers are sent by train to the fronts. Along the French-German border a massive offensive is planned since the Germans are now outnumbered in the center. New Zealand: The second wave of invaders land in southern Indochina, with the primitive tank and a large quantity of armored bombing zepplins. Zepplins and the new and improved New Zeelander fleet manage to break the blockade of the spread-thin French navy, though it was far from easy, and zepplines also manage to take out much of French artillary before the second landing, allowing for a far safer landing than the first time. The primitive tank is also deployed and it proves to be extremely effective and Saigon is completely taken with the help of zepplins and the tank, but the tank has trouble crossing the harsh jungles and is stationed in Saigon. Meanwhile in Northern Indochina troops rally with the airsupport of zepplins and manage to re-take Hanoi but fighting is tough, and overall much of lost territory is regained due to the newly arrived zepplins, and even more ground is taken in the south than previously had, but land is lost in the north, but land in the south more than compensates, and almost all of the southern Indochina coast is taken. To combat the French aiforce which now has actual fighters (though they would be pretty ineffective) zepplins now come with guns on them as well, though they aren't as effective has hoped, but the primitive fighters still aren't to great of an adversary. In Wellington the construction of three massive zepplins is underway and are being called the Triad that are absolute juggernauts. Several smaller ships are sent to Madagascar to aid any Germans in the area and the small force manages to take Vohemar, Sambava, and Antalaha. An offer is made to the U.S, India, China, and Korea that if they "invest" in the war against France the benefits will be great. Meanwhile, the Buddhist movement continues to sweep across New Zealand, but has yet to reach the mainland. A third wave is even planned to invade Indochina, almost completely carried by zepplins, though it will be smaller than the second wave, and increase in size and quality of the navyis undergone.
 * France: Also regarding the number of soldiers Germany has; I think it not doesn't make sense that they raised 800,000 soldiers in one six month period.Correct me if I'm wrong but I think their number of soldiers, said to be 2,565,000 men is rather a lot, considering that the German army roughly had 500,000 normal soldiers at any given time. Also wasn't the German army still divided among Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and Württemberg?
