 * The Carribean Provinces are split away from Great Guyana and are made into the Province of Bahamania with its capital at Georgetown. This is put into the Capitol System.
 * Seeing that Navarre, one of the founding members of the BG is invaded for no apparent reason, the BG pumps British, Hessian, and Scandinavian troops into Portugal and Switzerland. They offer Spain an ultimatum: Return Navarre as an independent state, with all it's previous holdings, repay any damage caused to private property, and have their troops vacate their country, or else the BG will declare war on both them and Italy. The BG also begins supplying French and Muscovite forces, while many volunteer brigades spring up to fight for Davis and France.

Portuguese troops attack and take the undefended Spanish Morrocco. Swiss troops, supported by Hessians and Brunswians, move into undefended Lombardy and take Genoa and Pisa. Muscovy adds their navy to the BG fleet preparing to take on the Spanish/Italian fleet in the Mediterranean. The BG hope that they can not only restore France and Navarre, but also split Spain back into it's component kingdoms (Castile, Leon, Aragon, Navarra).

1680

 * Following the BC example, the Germanic Pact members declare war on Spain and Italy The GP splits into two coalition armies, one army, the European Coalition, is made up of forces from the European members of the pact, and invades Italy via sea, while the other, the African Coalition, is made up of conscript armies from the African colonies who are sent to invade North Egypt.

British volunteer brigades arrive to reinforce RoD troops, and fortify most of the remaining settlements. Britain, Portugal, and Muscovy all recognize the republic as an independent nation, and all the territory claimed by the Republic but taken by Bohemians is still Republic land. Britain treatens to go to war with Bohemia if Davis is not granted independence.



1684
Bohemia and Britain negotiate a population exchange, with Bohemian territory claimed by Davis composed of 92% ethnic Bohemians, the remaining ethnic British are exchanged for the Bohemian minority within Davis controlled lands and Bohemia recognizes the independence of Davis.

The BG goes further deeper into Spain and establishing puppet kingdoms throughout Spain.

 * Prussia, Wurzburg and Hapsburg resume expansion into Hedjaz. Hapsburg contributes the least troops to this expansion as they are concentrating on North Africa. Wurzburg contributes more than Hapsburg but less than Prussia as they are advancing against Italy. Prussia sends the most troops as they have no other commitments.
 * Representatives of the North African government appeal to Britain to aid them in halting the Portuguese invasion.
 * Railroads advance from the mines and processing plants to the ports. Traction is still provided by horses.
 * Bohemia expands Aljaska.
 * California is slowly pushed back from Amerika. Britain proposes that it aid the Californians. The Californians agree but have to wait until the war in Europe is over.
 * Despite Scandinavia's attempts to keep the colonial dream alive, New Sundavall is simply no longer a viable project. In order to make at least a bit of profit, it sells chunks to all the neighbouring powers. Claim lines are drawn up and preparations for settlement begin.

Spain is getting close to be overran by Britain and France. It is expected that Spain will fall in a matter of months.

The Swiss force Italy off the Pennsula and Elba.



1689
Spain falls. With the final push from the combine forces of France, Portugal, and Britain the remaining Spanish forces surrender. The result of the war is this: Portugal expands north up to the Atlantic. Navarra expands eastward along the English Channel and a bit south. Navarra signs a treaty with France, Portugal, and Britain. Navarra also joins th British Group. Britain and France still occupies in what was Southern Spain to either give the land to Navarra or setup a puppet state.

The Swiss give back all the land south of the Po valley, as well as returning Venice. However, they keep Genoa and immediatly begin to consolidate their holdings there, assisted by Hessian and French volunteers.

The BG decides to create a puppet state in Southern Spain, called Andalusia. Eastern Spain is made into Catalonia (not a puppet state, but still allied.).

Hapsburg is given the Belearics as compensation for assisting the BG in invading Spain.

Wurzburg returns the lands previously held by France, but keeps a narrow corridor to the sea.

Scandinavia updates it's fortifications on Skagens Odde, while Livonia and Muscovy update the Dnepr canal, adding two service areas and widening the channel by 50 ft in some places.

Habsburg makes a deal with the Kingdom of Jerusalem, allowing Habsburg to gain all land surrounding the Suez Canal.

North Africa recevies the British held land next to it and Habsburg gets the British held land next to it.



1690
Portugal completes the annexation of North Africa.

The BG begins preparations for an invasion of the Asatru.

What is the Asatru?

'The nations formally of the Asatru Union, namely Midgard, Norgard, Norway, and Iceland. They are all Asatru (the modern term given to the pagan scandinavian religion).'

The Swiss continue to fortify their Italian holdings, constructing a series of forts along it's borders with Wurzburg and Bohemia (as a precautionary measure).

As the SC, Hesse, and Brunswick have no navy, and are all contributing large amounts of troops to the upcoming invasion of the Asatru, the BG finds it nessacary to purchase a thin strip of land 100 metres wide going from Switzerland through Wurzburg, Hesse, and on through Brunswick to Bremen. They begin constructing a large road along it, and, as relations with the GP has improved consiterably over the past few years, they give the ok for BG troops to be moved along the road (unofficially called the Swiss Road). This vastly improves BG logistics, as, previously, Hesse was completely cut off from any allied nation.

The Heanestic Republic, Denmark, Scandinavia, the UBP, and Portugal all begin to overhaul and improve their navies, mainly for amphibious operations, and large fleet-v-fleet operations, as in recent years the Asatru have begun to move closer to unification, and have improved their navies consiterably. This is a massive change in direction for the BG fleets, as for the last half of the century they have been slowly decentralized and trained for anti-pirate and raiding operations. (Even in the French War and the Second Italian War, major fleet operations have been few and far between).

The GP gives their widespread approval over the BG's plans to invade the Asatru and decide to give the BG members multiple engineers who can help them with their warships and overall mechanical planning, while multiple trainers from the GP, who have spent some of their life studying in Scandinavia, also help the BG troops train for their invasion ahead and prepare for their troops for the harsh conditions.

1691
In order to prepare for an invasion of Norgard, Scandinavian troops begin to build several large roads running from the coast to the border, facilitating the movement of Swiss and Hessian troops moving from the ports to the borders. Denmark and Brunswick move many of their troops into Scania, and build similar roads and fortifications throughout that province.

To counteract BG aggression, the Asatru nations sign an alliance with the Hussite League and the Muscovian Empire, both longtime trading partners. Many Germanic group members, particularly Wurzburg, Brunswick, and the Hanseatic Republic withdraw their support for the planned invasion for fear of antagonizing the Hussites and Muscovites. This rift amongst its members causes severe difficulties in relations in the Germanic group.

Uhhhh....Muscovy is the BG's best non-BG ally...

Habsburg's occupation of Spanish North Africa and Spanish Egypt, encounters severe resistance and holding the lands is becoming extremely expensive, especially with limited troops available from the homeland and heavy reliance on mercenaries and conscripted spanish troops.

The people of the Portuguese occupied North African Republic, now extremely experienced at carrying on a guerilla war having carried out years of war against illegitimate governments prior, takes a large toll on the Portuguese occupational forces. Keeping hold of the land is taking a toll on troops and state coffers.

Britain, Denmark, and Scandinavia decide to go it alone and continue to prepare for the invasion. All nations have alot to gain (Britain takes Iceland and Greenland, Denmark gets Norway and southern Midgard, and Scandinavia gets the rest). Due to Scandinavia's alliance with Muscovy, they secretly promise to stay out of this war.

Habsburg creates the Colonial Army of Habsburg as a standing and professional defense and attack force for the Habsburg colonies, they are formed from the many conscripted troops in Africa and are immeadiately put to work attacking resistance groups and guerillas, and soon the number of guerillas and attacks decrease drastically.

1692
The BG asks Prussia and Hapsburg to allow BG naval vessels (and their accompanying troops) to be based out of their ports. They agree, eager for the business that a massive army and navy would bring to their ports.

Portugal releases North Africa as a vassal state, mainly to stop wasting huge amounts of capital on the insurgency.

Navarra decides to setup a colony in Africa. They setup the colony in south of the Portugese colony in Africa.

The Germanics return to their invasion of Hedjaz and the country is quickely overrun.

Habsburg, its coffers drained by the huge numbers of mercenaries and other professional soldiers required to keep control of its North African occupied territories, especially those in former Spanish Egypt and sees mass desertions. Emboldened by this the rebellions increase, and many deserting local conscripts join the rebellions, arming the rebels with Habsburg`s own weapons. Remaining Spanish nobility in Spanish Egypt begin meeting with Jerusalem emissaries for possible annexation due to common spanish background.

News of the issues in Africa along with the King`s continued insistance on continuing conquest against the counsel of advisors, as well as talks of taking part in the invasion of the Asatru leads to unrest amongst the Habsburg nobility in Europe.

The heir to the Spanish throne, who managed to escape the war to Spain`s colonies in the east indies, establishes the new Spanish capital in Neuvo Toledo (OTL Medan, Sumatra). As news hits Europe, many Spanish people begin emmigrating to this new Spanish homeland.

1693
It all comes together.

As the BG invasion of the Asatru begins, troop ships pullout of GP harbors to a waving crowd. Suddenly, the ships turn and open fire on the Prussian and Hapsburg warships docked at the piers. Within 5 minutes, half the GP's navy is destroyed. The troop ships disembark their marines, and by the end of the day, Amsterdam, Rostock, Danzig, Rotterdam, and most other major GP ports are taken. Troops move inland, straight at Cologne and Berlin. The Prussians push back the BG to within 5 miles of the coast, but as most Hapsburg troops were deployed in Africa to combat the insurgency, Cologne is taken by the end of March.

Swiss, Brunswickian, Hessian, and Heneasic troops supposively withdrawing down the Swiss Road turn off into Wurzburg, taking much of the surrounding land. Wurzburgish troops are defeated outside of Baden-Baden, and by the end of the year, most of the nation is under BG control.

Scandinavian troops deployed at Asatru borders quickly turn around and follow the newly-built roads straigh back to their ships waiting at the coast. By August, most of the troops are redeployed into Prussia, and Berlin is taken.

Portuguese and Heanestic ships set up a blockade at Gibraltar, preventing the Hapsburgs from moving their troops to the European front.

1694
'Guys, sorry, but please check the talk page for more information. This invasion was planned from the beginning.' 'WTF?!!! WHY THE HELL IS THE BG INVADING THE GP, THIS MAKES NO SENSE SO WHY WOULD THEY INVADE SOMBODY WHO IS TRYING TO HELP THEM???!!!!'
 * BG force a surrender from Prussia and continue into Hapsburg. With most of their army attempting to hold down the African colonies, there is little that Hapsburg can do against the invading armies. Wurzburg ius demolished. The BG powers begin drawing up a map of the new Germany.
 * The plan is for Wurzburg to be divided into Baden, Wurzburg, and Barvaria (with the strip of coast going to Switzerland). Hapsburg is to be divided into the Netherlands and Wallonia, with the strip of land pointing east would be split between Brunswick and Hesse. Prussia is to be divided into Brandenburg, Magdeburg, and Prussia proper.
 * Portugal and North Africa make a deal. North Africa will retain what remains of its land, and Portugal shall maintain control of its traditional spheres of influence.
 * BG controlled Spain is turned into the Kingdom of Aragon.
 * Balkans War breaks out. Greece invades Albania, Bulgaria invades Wallachia.

'Very good point... I'm not the one doing it, but we need to rewind to 1692 to get rid of it.'


 * British claims are completed on the North American continent. Most other nations expand.
 * California and Amerika are now bogged down with very little movement. The promised British aid has been distracted by further wars in Europe.

1695


(The status of mediterranean Habsburg land wasn't specified, so I just left it in the map)

The last Scandinavian troops arrive in Prussia. By now, the entire coast is taken, and Brunswickian and Danish troops move south to help out the Swiss.

Portuguese ships land in Alexandria and take the delta. A second, larger force, mainly British Colonial, lands at the Suez Canal tand takes it from the meager defense force left behind.

The BG offers a treaty to the remaining GP forces:

The Hapsburg lands between Brunswick and Hesse are to be split between the latter nations.

The Heanestic Republic receives Prussian coast as far west as Rostock

Switzerland recieves Wurzburgin strip of land leading to the coast.

A new nation, allied to the BG, is to be created from the Christian lands of Eygpt (see Oer's map on the talk page), and this will include the Suez Canal.

The members of the GP agree to the terms, but only if the Suez Canal is turned into an international zone where all countries who wish may operate a port and the entire canal can't be nationalized.

The BG decline. Portuguese and Andalusian troops land at Tunis, and by November, most of OTL Tunisia is in their hands. The BG reoffers their version of the treaty, and if the GP does not accept, then they will continue to attack until their terms are accepted, unamended.

The GP has no choice but to accept the BG's terms of surrender with threats coming from the invasion in Africa.

1696



 * With the collapse of the Habsburg government the rebellions in Africa peak. The populace of Spanish North Africa establish the Tunez Republic, including the Habsburg controlled but Spanish populated Baleares and Habsburg controlled Malta. Libya seizes its traditional coastal holdings.
 * The previous Habsburg King who had abdicated amongst pressure from his nobles over his disasterous policy of conquest establishes himself in Benhazi, taking control of some of the scattered Habsburg colonial forces. He renames the city Neuer Koln and names himself King of Habsburg. With very little arable land, small population, little resources, and demoralized troops, the British Group allows him his fantasies.
 * With Prussia, Wurzburg, and Habsburg in shambles, Hedjaz pushes them back across the red sea. The Sultan begins uniting the Bedouin tribes.
 * Hungary leaves the Hussite league following arguments with allies over aid in reconquering Hungarian lands from Bulgaria, Albania, Sicily and Moldovia. Bohemia maintains that the Hussite league is a defensive alliance meant to aid members who are the target of agression, and the land Hungary lost was the result of an offensive war.
 * After years of attempts at stamping out the Asatru religion, it remains the religion of the majority in Denmark. As such, the Denmark parliament adopts a policy of religious tolerance, allowing Asatru to hold positions of public office.
 * Denmark and Scandinavia begin bringing up the idea of an actual invasion of the Asatru nations. The Swiss Confederation, having problems of its own controlling conquered territory and a war weary populace argues against. The Hanseatic Republic begins considering leaving the alliance alltogether and declaring neutrality in order to focus on trade. The group that so recently showed a united front against the Germanics begins to show cracks.
 * Scandinavia and Denmark back down on their plans for invasion.

1697
A lost British fleet from Hawaii is blown ashore in New Zealand and founds a small colony there, naming it New Zealand, and claiming it for Britain.
 * Prussia, Wurzburg, and the Habsburg pretender governments draft up the Germanic Reconstruction Plan, a 15 year long plan to rebuild the economies and industries of the former GP, some BG nations, sympathetic to the disasterous state of the Germanic economies, also provide support.

1698
New Zealand expands as settlers arrive from Cascadia with hopes of claiming new land.

The former GP members begin reconstruction by first improving agriculture, the farmlands of Prussia and Wurzburg provide most of the food for the group, while some is also grown on Habsburg's Mediterranean coast.

1699

 * The second phase of the Germanic Reconstruction program goes into effect as agriculture continues to develop while wood from the forests of Germany are used by all three countries to rebuild their trading fleets, and they begin to set up a trade triangle.
 * Finding it hard to keep control of it's Italian provinces, Switzerland releases the city-states of Padua, Milan, Genoa, Asti, and Savoy as vassal states. All are allowed substantial freedom economically and politically (however, they do have to remain neutral in world affairs for 30 years, and none of them can unite-annex-invade one another for 100 years, or risk military intervention on the part of the BG). Militarily, they are allowed to have a small defense force nessesary for keeping order and for fending off foreign aggression.
 * BG renforcements finally arrive in California, pushing The Amrikians back.
 * All claims in the Amaricias are fully occupied.
 * The Kingdom of Jersulum expands it's east indies colony to include more small islands.
 * New Zeland expands south.







1700
What do you mean by minor trading concession and small discounts for international trade?
 * The Germanic Reconstruction program enters a snag, the former GP had plenty of wood, but raw metal like iron, and construction materials like brick ad limestone were in short supply, the biggest iron producers in the world are members of the GP or Scandinavian, all of which disliked the Germanics. Trade has hit a snag as very few, if any countries choose to trade with them, the quick rebuilding they had hoped for becomes an near impossibilities, and the GP members begin to outright beg the other countries of the world for economic support.
 * The BG offers to supply the GP with timber and iron in exchange for numorous but minor trading concessions and small discounts for international trade.

1701

 * Britain presides over a peace conference between California and Amerika. California takes some northern land and Amerika's Pacific Coast but Britain stops them from going to far. California agrees to join the British Group and negotiations begin with Amerika.
 * Portugal expands into undiscovered Africa, cutting off North Africa. Portugal begins gearing up for an invasion of Algeria. The Chancellor of Portugal envisages a great Portuguese Empire across the Mediterranean.
 * The Balkans collapse into all out war. There are no coherent alliances as all sides stab one another in the back. All of Europe looks on in horror.
 * The Muscovian Empire begins expanding East once again.

1702

 * Arguments ensue between members of the British Group over the admittance of California, who is also a member of the Hussite league. Admitting members of rival alliances could cause disruptions further on. Negotiations with Amerika for membership causes further unrest, being a member of the Germanic League and a former Habsburg colony. These issues cause Brunswick to leave the group. The Hanseatic Republic declares its neutrality and leaves the group as well.. Scandinavia claims these members leaving is the fault of Britain and its desire to bring the world under its influence. Portugal also question's Britain's leadership, though more due to posturing to eventually take over.
 * Prussia abandons the Germanic group, allying with Livonia and entering into an agreement with Bohemia for economic aid, deciding being tied to Habsburg was too dangerous to its future, losing its largest and most prosperous member puts the germanic group's future in question.
 * Scandinavia, Denmark, the Heanestics, and Livonia officially quit any prexisting alliances aside from the Prussia-Livonia alliance and form the Baltic Alliance. They begin to focus on trade, primarily market and currency derivative markets, as well as timber and iron exports.
 * With Prussia out of the Germanic Group, Wurzburg leaves as their supplies were mostly brought in by sea and decide to be self-dependent from now on.

1703
Muscovy, being longtime allies of Livonia and Scandinavia, gains observer status in the Baltic Alliance. Prussia, due to their alliance with Livonia, gains observer status as well.

Navarre and Britain go it alone and create a new BG between the two of them.

Portugal, having considerable influence with Alexandria and Andalusia, forms the Mediterranean Defensive League. The Tunez Republic gains observer status as well.

Habsburg, needing the support, and the royal family being Calvanists, ask to join the new British Group for the economic support. They accept.

Hoping to take advantage of the free-for-all in the Balkans, Portugal and Alexandria stage a landing in Albania. Most of the coast is taken by year's end, while the Duke is captured and executed.

1704
The Empire of Trebizond makes an all-or-nothing assualt on The Sultanate of Angora.

Habsburg Pretenders, although the royal family is Calvanist, is not initally given full membership to the new BG by the two members, it is instead made an observer state and given economic support from both countries, which is much needed.

'''The Railroad Boom starts. The rails, made of wood, start spreading out from the major ports. Traction is provided by horses.'''



1705

 * The Habsburg Pretenders, tired of being called such, nationalize as the members of the Habsburg Royal family unite under one ruler and announce the creation of the Habsburg Commonwealth of North Afrika.
 * Prussia and Wurzburg sell their remaining African territories to Alexandria, in return for a large sum of silver and gold.
 * The Empire of Trebizond continues its assualt on the Sultanate of Angora.

 * After the death of the emperor Prussia decends into civil war.


 * As tension rises between France and Britain, France allies with Scotish Nationalists, and the invasion of Britain begins.


 * The Empire of Trebizond continues to battle the Sultanate of Angora in what is beginning to emerge as a bloody stalemate.


 * After the French and Scottish invasion of Great Britain begins, Portugal and North Afrika, the two other members of the New British Group, go into instant action, the Portugeuse and British Navies are the best in the world, while Habsburg has some of the best commanders and trainers in the three armies.

1708



 * As Prussia delves deeper into a civil war, it is split into three states, the Republic of Prussia in the south, the Kingdom of Prussia in the west, and the Utopian Civil Workers Republic of Prussia in the east and north. While the Republic is a democratic republic, and the Kingdom is an absolute monarchy, the UCWRP is a county that runs on an early version of communism, delving on the ideas of Plato and many European Utopianist and early communists.
 * lithuania and Ukraine declare war, lithuanian capture Crimea.
 * The invasion of Britain continues.

1709

 * A decisive battle occurs between the Franco-Scottish invasion as the French take massive casualties after failing to complete a seige of London, this proves to be a major turning point as Navarran and New Afrika troops arrive for reinforcements, and allow the New BG to push back the French, while the Scottish rebellion continues to spread in the north.
 * The Provinces in North America begin mobilising volunteer regiments and preparing to send them to the motherland. An emergency central government is formed in Bahamania. Bahamania becomes known as 'the Federal Province' as government of the United British Provinces is concentrated there while Provincial Governments retain control of their internal affairs. Bahamania is like Washington DC
 * The Free Republic of Davis joins the New British Group, along with California. They plan to invade French South America and take control, thereby making Great Britain the most powerful nation in the American continents.
 * Tensions build up in northern New Scotland, who want to but are unable to help their brethren in the British Isles.
 * Talks begin between Great Britain and the Incan Empire, with Britain offering the entire French Pacific Coast and British aid if they help fight the war.

 * France is starting to prepare an armada against Britain.
 * The emperor of Trebizond is assassinated by agents of the Sultanate of Angora.
 * A large portion of the French invading force is defeated in southern Britain, most are killed while some are still taken prisoner, the French now only control small coastal positions on the south English coast. Their claims on the rest of English soil are still widely recognized, but nominal.
 * A large number of British refugees from southern England are resettled in a new British colony in southeastern Australia.
 * The Greeks annex Thrace despite its claims to be an internationally neutral zone, and an army is sent to occupy Constantinople. The populace, mostly Greek, welcomes this.
