The Great Peace (Map Game)

The year is 1920. It’s been one year since the Treaty of Versailles was signed, ending the Great War. Despite the war being called “The war to end all wars” it seems like the ending of this war has only brought on more conflict. New countries, both with and without international recognition, have been carved out of the former German, Austrian and Ottoman Empires. The Russian Empire has collapsed, and now two groups fight to replace it: the Whites and the Bolsheviks. Germany and Italy are in total economic shambles, while France and Britain fight to keep their status as the world’s leading powers. The United States sees vast economic growth, while the Japanese Empire sees its economy take a sharp downturn, and now begins looking west for resources as China breaks down into total chaos with warlords taking de facto control of a majority of China, leaving the government to control a small territory down south.

As the world keeps spinning, many wonder what will become of this supposed Great Peace.

And the game has begun! '''Feel free to sign up and post at any time. This first turn will be longer to give everyone a chance to post.'''

'''The Nations of Europe are devastated after the end of the Great War. Three empires have been dismantled in favor of smaller successor states. The former-Entente nations now stand victorious over the battered Central Powers.'''

Germany, which is still reeling over the devastating defeat, holds federal elections this year, in which Hermann Müller of the Social Democrat Party is elected Chancellor of Germany, and begins to take leadership of an exhausted and defeated nation.

'''Unlike Germany, France celebrates its victory in the Great War. Having triumphed over Germany, the French Republic exploits its new territory, Alsace-Lorraine, and its influence over a League of Nations mandate called the Saar Basin, eating up its vast resources.'''

'''The Irish Revolutionary Republic continues its grueling war of independence against British rule. Though the British have seen significant advances in Northern Ireland over the approximate one year the war has been going, Irish nationalism is still high and the republic stands tall.'''

In the Middle East, the Hashemite Kingdom of Syria declares its independence, and stakes its claim to the entire region of, it is not recognized by either France or Great Britain.

'''The Treaty of Sèvres is signed today, officially ending the Ottoman Empire, and partitioning Turkey among the entente. Although Britain, France, and Italy don’t do well establishing their respective occupation zones. This sudden international embarrassment eventually leads to a man by the name Mustafa Kemal Atatürk to overthrow the sultan and create a republic, and launches the Turkish war of independence against the allies.'''

'''The Empire of Japan, with its new territory in the Pacific taken from the former German Empire, celebrates, with Japanese media declaring a successful victory against the enemy. Despite what the media says, the economy begins to suffer and an economic crisis is imminent.'''

'''In Italy, the economy begins to suffer as well, although Italy was victorious in the Great War they still suffered a great number of casualties fighting the Austrians trying to take back their long lost lands. Paramilitary organizations begin to patrol the streets, and clashes begin to become more common. A man by the name of Benito Mussolini starts to become disillusioned with Socialism, and starts to adopt a more radical right-wing ideology.'''

'''China has nearly collapsed, as warlords take over a majority of the nation. The Republican government in the south controls very little, and is very weak.'''

'''the Republican Government in Hungary is overthrown by radical right wingers led by Miklòs Horthy. He re-establishes the Kingdom of Hungary, with himself as Regent, as the former king of Hungary is forbidden by the allies from ever ruling over any of his former subjects again.'''

'''The Provisional All-Russian Government is disestablished after the death of Kolchak. This causes a major blow to the whites, as the Soviets march down from Omsk and take the now empty territory. Bolshevik media declares that “Victory is almost here!”.'''

''' Warren G. Harding runs for President of the United States, on a platform of "Keeping the good times rolling" with the great economic boom that came with the end of the Great War. The 19th Amendment is passed, giving universal suffrage to America's democracy, but hidden issues of racism and organized crime continue to plague the common people, including acts by the Mafia and the KKK.

 * Sublime state of Persia: His Highness Shah Ahmed Shah Qayar has ordered the construction of Persia's first university. The university is expected to take many years to be built. Persian Diplomacy: Persia offers the Hashemite Kingdom of Syria an alliance.

 * The Hellenic Republic: Greek society sits at a crossroads at the dawn of 1920. Eleftherios Venizelos, Prime Minister of Greece, continues pressing for Greek claims during the talks over the Treaty of Sèvres signed this year. Greek troops in Smyrna begin pushing northward through the undefended countryside to the north in an effort to seize the region around Dardanellia (Çanakkale in Turkish). Greek troops in Anatolia number 90,000 by midyear, with the majority, 50,000, dug in along the Smyrna frontier. The remainder are dedicated to the assault northward. Meanwhile, another two divisions, 20,000 men, continue the occupation of East Thrace. A nationwide call for volunteers is raised with the goal of training another 75,000 men for the war by 1921. A large percentage of military-aged men in Smyrna volunteer to fight, and are invaluable in suppressing Turkish attacks on remote Greek position thanks to their innate knowledge of the region. There are 15,000 natives of Smyrna fighting as auxiliaries by year's end, freeing up many professional Greek soldiers for front-line duty. The Greek navy begins a campaign of coastal raids to weaken the Turkish resolve. Meanwhile, diplomatic and military envoys are sent to Armenia and Georgia asking for their support against the Nationalist Turks (Mod Response please). While foreign affairs are important, internal politics dominate the public discourse. Eleftherios Venizelos and his pro-democracy supporters now face off against King Constantine in national elections to decide the fate of Greece, either a Republic or a Monarchy. The campaign is fierce, but a last minute corruption scandal rocks the monarchist candidate. Eleftherios Venizelos and his republican supporters win the election and quickly move to ensure the preservation of republicanism. In doing so they move to rename Greece to the Hellenic Republic. The experienced officers in the Greek Armed Forces are more than happy at this outcome as they had feared purges if the monarchists had won. A further diplomatic envoy is sent to the powers of the Entente, Italy, France, and the UK, asking for military support against Turkey (Mod and player Responses).
 * Britain,tired of War, is reluctant to join the war, though recognizes Turkey’s violation of the Treaty of Sèvres so instead calls for the Treaty of Sèvres to be revised, and invites all of its attendees and the Turks back to the negotiation table but with Turkey still unequal to the Entente.
 * Armenia and Georgia accept, seeing how Armenia wants pay back for the Armenian Genocide and to fulfill its own nationalistic sentiment, and Georgia wishing to distract its population from domestic issues.
 * Italian Dip: The people of Italy will not support such military action, and I must speak for my people as their King. The Kingdom of Italy cannot provide assistance to the Hellenic Republic against Turkey's aggression at this time. Signed - His Majesty Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy.
 * Most Serene Republic of San Marino: The Republic of San Marino, during a short referendum, decides to change its name to the Most Serene Republic of San Marino (Serenissima Repubblica di San Marino). Tensions between Sanmarinese socialists and fascists increase.
 * Kingdom of Sweden: It seems that Sweden's neutrality has paid off, the economy is stable and the military is intact. Gustaf V of Sweden has a son with his wife and in years to come, he will be the heir to the Swedish throne. The Department of Mining has begun mining iron ore and the Department of Industry uses the ore to manufacture iron goods. The Department of Industry also begins the manufacturing of Synthetic chemicals. Swedish Writer Gustec Linkskt writes a book called "Forbidden Love" - a romance book - and it is an immediate hit. Many authors now write romance books, as the genre has become extremely popular. Gustaf V of Sweden and Ambassador Baroe Kraskøi wish to meet the Danish, Norwegian and Finnish kings and ambassadors to discuss the formation of the Four Brothers, an economic and military pact. They exclude (MOD RESPONSE NEEDED) Prime Minister Marzick Dusten begins funding the reconstruction of Germany because the country is in economic despair and Sweden wishes to help them out of the hole, despite what they've done. Along with funding reconstruction, it also secretly funds monarchist groups within the country.


 * unlikely.
 * Norway, Denmark and Finland agree to the pact.
 * German Dip: We thank the Swedes for their generous aid, and use it wisely.


 * Italy: The Kingdom of Italy is headed by Victor Emmanuel III, known among some members of the populace as Il Re vittorioso (The Soldier King). However, the King's grip on his country is beginning to slip. While he was victorious in the Great War, the economy of Italy is suffering heavily. The disaffected portion of the population call him Sciaboletta (little saber), a crack at the King's diminutive height. The Prime Minister is Francesco Saverio Nitti, a member of the Italian Radical Party. Though he is fairly left-leaning, he is at wits end both with the communists, anarchists and fascists. The pressure begins to build and, if rumors from his wife are to believed, he had considered resigning in June of 1920. However, he remains Prime Minister throughout the year. Nitti opposes dictatorship of any kind, yet be believes the anarchists and the communists to be the most apparent threat to the Italian nation. Already, the Red Army of Turin has begun to occupy factories and metal plants across northern Italy. Worker strikes at the Fiat plants stretch the economy to its breaking point. Though Filippo Turati, the founder of the Italian Socialist Party, argues against revolutionary action, his voice is becoming increasingly marginalized as it becomes clear that action must be taken, both against the rising Mussolini and the Italian government itself. Prime Minister Nitti, however, believes the PSI is behind the factory revolts. In September, Turati is arrested on charges of conspiracy to revolt. Overnight, he is made a martyr. The PSI, now under the leadership of a rising star named Antonio Gramsci. This Marxist-Leninist encourages the party to back the Fiat revolts. His publications in Turin, in the meantime, call for an organized worker's revolt. By October, the Red Army of Turin has expanded its influence across the whole of northern Italy. Mussolini's supporters turn in droves to support the Italian Socialist Party. For once, the PSI is taking action against an incompetent government. Many of these followers had seen Mussolini as the only man who would do something. With a proactive Socialist in charge, they had a strong leader with politics that aligned with theirs. The waning support behind Mussolini could be seen especially in late October, when Gabriele D'Annuzio spoke out against the upstart leader for failing to secure a foothold against rising Communism. In the meantime, the Syndicalists and Anarchists form an alliance with Gramsci. The left will rise in Italy. Who holds Italy will have to be sorted out later. Propaganda for the Italian workers can be seen throughout Italy. The people rally behind calls such as, noi siamo lo stato (We are the state). Songs such as Il Sciaboletta or L'orizzonte grande rosso di Gramsci (the latter being 'Gramsci's Great Red Horizon') sweep the nation while Gramsci's newspapers radicalize those in academic fields. The Italian Socialist Party requests aid and recognition from Soviet Russia. Gramsci himself writes to Lenin on communist theory.
 * Greek Diplomacy: While we understand that Italy cannot become directly involved in Greco-Turkish affairs, Greece would ask if Italy would consider supply Greece with military aide in the form of weapons and ammunition left over from the Great War.
 * Armenia: The entirety of the country still feels a profound sense of grievance toward the Turks – nor are they thrilled that the Ottoman genocide of their people has seemingly succeeded, with much of former Ottoman Armenia now under threat of being annexed by the new Turkish republic, completing the ethnic cleansing of their historic homeland. With the country filled with deeply embittered refugees, it lacks the infrastructure to house its swollen population. Luckily, the country is also filled with cast-off Russian arms and a number of former Russian officers and soldiers, leftovers of the Caucasus Campaign. President Alexander Khatisian sees the necessity of decisive action to ensure the country’s survival and to secure, if not revenge or recompense for the genocide, at least part of the Armenian people’s historic homelands. He declares national mobilization, promoting Russian officer or Armenians with World War I experience and arming Armenians with experience in the Russian and Ottoman armies, plus members of irregular militias and the Entente's Armenian Legion, to form a large, relatively experienced army of 50,000, with the whole population working to keep it supplied. Artillery is stripped from former Russian border forts to outfit the army, as well as purchased from Germany; bought German arms also help supply and arm the expanded military. Abrogating the Treaty of Batum, the Armenians move to secure the territories promised them in the Treaty of Sevres. Using the Russian supply base and infrastructure surrounding Kars, flying columns move along the railway from Kars to Erzurum, which lacks any equivalent rail connection to Anatolia, allowing Armenian forces to outpace and be better supplied than the Turks. From Erzurum, the army moves into the Kelkit valley with orders to fall on the flank of Turks moving against the Georgians on the Black Sea coast, or to link up with them and fight a defensive battle from entrenchments if attacked themselves. The area’s still substantially Armenian populations are recruited, while Kurdish tribesmen are hired as auxiliaries and scouts. Strict orders are issued against retaliatory killings of Turks, largely because of the importance of retaining international sympathy, although some react badly when they find Turks occupying the property of slaughtered friends or family. Armenia calls on the signatories of the Treaty of Sevres to enforce its terms in full, reminding them that Turkey is the perpetrator of an almost unprecedented atrocity and that Sevres is, far from being too harsh, not a remotely sufficient punishment.
 * Armenian Diplomacy: Armenian envoys are sent to the Russian Bolsheviks, where they hope to establish positive relations based upon the (admittedly much more moderate) socialism of Armenia's ruling Daznak party. The envoys are instructed to secretly promise to turn over any Russians still in Armenian territory to the Bolsheviks upon request.
 * Kingdom of Romania: Prime Minister Alexandru Averescu begins to centralize power around himself ruthlessly, suppressing opponents on both sides of the political spectrum. The People's Party is purged of the "Republicanist" faction, as Ferdinand is now an undisputed constitutional monarch. The natural gas, iron ore, petroleum and coal industries are nationalized. Diplomacy to France: Our tank production corp would like help with incense production of Renault FT light tanks. (response). Industries are further privatized, and competition is tried to be started by the government between businesses. The "Greater Romania" territories are consolidated and fortified. Effective governance is set up, as well as encouraging economic competition in these territories.
 * Zhili Clique: With the recent death of former President of the Republic of China Feng Guozhang, the leadership has passed on to General Cao Kun, also supported by Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang. With this, the coalition of warlords known as the Zhili clique, under the leadership of Cao Kun, control Beijing. From the former imperial capital he proclaims himself President of the Republic, ignoring the Kuomintang in the south. Cao Kun offers Zhang Zuolin of the Fengtien clique in Manchuria an alliance in exchange for receiving a high government office and becoming governor of his territory. [Mod Response] Although the Zhili clique was formed in response to Duan Qirui's control over the government, we offer him and his Anhui clique a chance for an alliance as long as he recognizes Cao Kun as President and in return becomes Vice President in the Beiyang government. [Mod Response] Around that time he also reaches out to the commander of Chinese naval forces, Li Tingxin, asking him for the navy to pledge loyalty to his government. [Mod Response] Next, we ask Francis Aglen for the tariff revenue from the Chinese Maritime Customs Service to be directed to Cao Kun's government in Beijing. [Mod Response] It is Cao Kun's objective to restore a unified Beiyang clique that shattered after Yuan Shikai's death and challenge the parliamentarians to the south. Meanwhile, the new president begins reforming the state. The Zhili Clique forces of 100,000 troops are organized into ten divisions, divided between infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineering. They are organized along European lines. Military schools are opened throughout the metropolitan Zhili Province and other parts of north China under the clique's control to produce a new professional officer corps. Taxes are increased to provide more funding. A general structure for a national police force to be formed at some point is planned out.
 * Duan Qirui Accept’s The Zhili’s offer and officially recognizes Cao Kun as President of the Republic, the Chinese Maritime Customs Service also accepts, while Li Tingxin and Zheng Zuolin decline Cao Kun’s request, and instead enforce their own claims to be Leader of All of China. 
 * Hashemite Kingdom of Syria: King Faisal ibn Hussein Al-Hashem calls the parliament of Greater Syria in Damascus on March 10. Rida Al-Rikabi is elected the first Prime Minister, and the ministers of parliament are all the elder tribal leaders from among the clans of the Arab Revolt. The Prime Minister is given power over the military while the King retains all other power for the nation. The borders of the Kingdom of Syria are drawn up to include all of the Transjordan, Levant and Palestine as far as the Gulf of Aqaba, and extending into the desert as far as Al-Anbar. Throughout these regions, runners are sent via horse and telegram to proclaim full liberation from the Turks, who for centuries had ruled tyrannically over the Arabs. Political affiliations in the parliament are mostly neutral, with some being of the Wafd party and others full Monarchist. Thomas Lawrence is appointed as the chief ambassador to the British government, with Rustum Haidar as deputy minister. Ibrahim Hanamanu, of the former Ottoman military, is placed in charge of the whole Syrian army. The personnel of the Arab military is retained from the Arab Revolt. However, it is very loosely organized, with each faction of the military led by its own local Emir. The Alawites are treated with the utmost toleration, with the leaders of the revolt last year moved from the northern regions and allowed to live in the capital. In accordance with the Faisal-Chaim agreement, the Syrian Parliament proclaims that a series of designated regions in Palestine will become autonomous territories administrated by the Zionist leaders, including: Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jaffa, and the Old City of Jerusalem. Jewish settlements are limited to these areas and must petition the parliament to expand their borders. Alliance from the Persian Empire is accepted. Similar extensions of alliance are sent out to the nations of Hejaz, Oman, Egypt, and Turkey. We further ask that the British government acknowledge our borders as an independent state in accordance with the Paris Peace Conference. The same petition is extended to the America, offering that, if our independence was achieved, America may freely survey oil deposits in the north. 
 * Britain says “whooah! Slow down their partner!” And demands they shrink their claims, so that it doesn’t violate Britain’s colonial integrity, and says that it needs to sort out its issues with France before a solid agreement can be discussed between Syria and the British Empire. 
 * Egypt Dip: Wafd Party supporters in Egypt begin to rally men to the support of what they call "The Syrian Struggle" and send foreign fighters to support Syria. Also in the News, We send 1000 troops into Gaza and the Negev. They are ordered to not engage with British troops but set base to protect "Arab Interest."


 * Weimar Republic (Deutches Reich): After the international embarrassment that was WW1, and the subsequent removal of the monarchy and declaration of the republic, Germany is still in shambles. The populationf is defeated, and German pride has been crushed. Our new Chancellor Hermann Müller of the SDP launches a series of economic reforms to bring Germany into the new world. These reforms purge the economy of the stingy autocrats and royalists still in power and control of economic institutions, filling them with young experienced businessmen. Reichstag becomes the official parliament of Germany, with the SDP (Social Democratic Party) still the majority in parliament, while the Centre Party of Germany, the DDP, and the USPD take the rest. After the demilitarization of and restrictions of our military, we offer to sell any military equipment or vehicles to other countries. Veterans in the country begin to get angry as the government has not been able to pay them, and find many veteran organizations protest in front of the Reichstag for compensation, and feel like they have been honored for serving their country. Herman Müller’s economic reforms gain some popularity among the populace, and Herman Müller sees his chance to expand on his low but noticeable growing popularity by establishing greater economic freedom, while keeping control of some industries, believing that the government needs to direct the major aspects of the economy (at least what’s left of it) to rebuild it. The Entente is still despised by many Germans, but many push the war aside to focus on rebuilding.
 * Armenian Diplomacy: Armenia asks to purchase substantial quantities of excess German small arms, artillery and machine guns, along with ammunition for all of these. It also asks unofficially to hire decommissioned German veterans as military advisers, helping with Germany's difficulty paying them. The ambassador is instructed to remark that he hopes the new Social Democratic government will repudiate its autocratic predecessor's support for the genocidal Turks.
 * we agree to give the Armenian’s arms and supplies, but kindly decline their offer to let German veterans become Advisors, citing germany’s Forced neutrality and pledge not to go beyond selling arms. 
 * Syrian Dip: We will buy equipment
 * How Much and What kind? -Germany
 * Turkish diplomacy: The Turkish National Movement asks that Germany, from one WW1 ally to another, does not sell weapons or supplies to Armenian forces, or others currently engaged in hostilities with the Turkish state.
 * we inform Turkey that we are neutral, and don’t care on who we sell weapons with, and won’t take sides. 
 * Greece will prevent any naval shipment of arms to Turkey if necessary.
 * Egypt Dip: Can I haba Pistola or two?
 * German dip. Yeeee
 * Zhili Clique/Chinese Diplomacy: Using the new tariff funds from the Maritime Customs Service, President Cao Kun's government in Beijing would like to purchase machine guns, artillery pieces, rifles, and armored cars from Germany.
 * German Dip: Yes.
 * Greek Diplomacy: We would like to purchase German machine guns and light artillery.
 * German Dip. Coming right up!
 * Turkey: Dark days are in Turkey, but the Turkish people are not yet broken. The National Movement under Mustafa Kemal reiterates that it is ready to negotiate a just and durable peace for the inhabitants of Turkey, but the idea of national integrity and national determination must be preserved. Kemal, using his considerable influence as the hero of Gallipoli and the aide-de-camp of the Sultan himself, appeals to the governors, officers, and people of Anatolia, telling them to join him in Ankara and oppose the powers that be who are trying to divide the country. While some refuse, many are drawn by the man's magnetism and the justness of his cause. The situation is considerably worse in Constantinople, which remains under Entente occupation. After the Ottoman general elections in December 1919, nationalist parties signed the National Pact, which called for the security of Constantinople, national self-determination, and the abolition of the capitulations, among other things. As a result of this, the Entente disband the Ottoman parliament, sending many government members into exile or being rounded up by Entente soldiers. After seeing this and the strong command that Kemal possesses in Anatolia, the Sultan secretly gives his support to Kemal and informs trusted members of the government. Thanks to Kemal's command over remaining Ottoman forces and the new loyalty of the Sultan's personal troops, the National Movement commands roughly 1000 troops, composed of Ottoman veterans and untrained but enthusiastic volunteers. The Sentinel Army (Kuva-yi Karakoliye), about 50,000 strong, is deployed to the eastern front with orders to deploy strong defensive positions against the Armenians and Georgians. The two other armies, a total of 75,000, are deployed to the western front against the Greeks. The larger National Army (Kuva-yi Nizamiye) is deployed to the north while the smaller Caliphate Army (Kuva-yi Inzibatiye) are deployed to the south. Various militias do their best to attack the Greek supply lines and rearguards, sowing as much havoc as they can to the Greek war effort. In diplomacy, Kemal declines the alliance with the Syrians for the time being, stating that both nations have enough to worry about at the time being. However, he hopes for strong relations in the future. Kemal also requests a meeting with representatives of the Russian Bolsheviks. 
 * Kingdom of Egypt: Following the Egyptian Revolt of 1919, attempts are made to stabilize the country. This leads to the government's attempts of improving literacy rates among the poor by forcing children to read English and Arabic books (This is looked down upon but is still used upon in poor areas). Within Egyptian society a new social craze appears (originating from mostly Coptic "artist") called "Quskut", The term is used to describe the recent actions of self-proclaimed "artist" poking fun at Egyptian society, While it blows up in the younger side of Egyptian society it gains a negative view from the old. A national army is formed and tries to rally men to their cause by enticing nationalism and unity among all walks of Egyptian life The question is raised "Who will be our King?". Following the Fall of The Ottoman Empire the Arab King begins to open up relations with Hejaz, Syria and Iraq. The Egyptian government sends an envoy to Syria giving their sympathy to their cause but does declines an alliance with Syria, We do give our word that we won't host foreign troops if used to invade Syria.
 * Britain demands Egypt withdraw from Syria.
 * United States of America: Growing concerns over the Bolshevik threat lead to a United States delegation joining the Inter-Allied Mission to Poland, which is currently locked in a conflict with the nascent Soviet Union. Wary of becoming entangled in the affairs of the Anglo-French, however, the United States establishes its own separate entity, the American Military Mission to Poland . Hundreds of American officers are sent to the Eastern European nation, both as observers and advisers to the fledgling Polish Republic, with the entire operation headed by Colonel George S. Patton, an officer who made his name during the Anti-Villa operations of 1916 and on the fields of the Great War in France. Large numbers of now surplus equipment, including vast volumes of rifles, machine guns and artillery are sold to the Poles at discounted rates. An addition, several volunteer squadrons of American aviators are formed and sent to Poland where they function in tandem with the Polish Army. Domestically, the 1920 is a clear Republican year with voter dissatisfaction with the Democrats over the last eight years. At the RNC, the defection of four Ohio delegates throws the nomination to former General Leonard Wood, who selects Wisconsin Progressive Irvine Lenroot as his running mate. His campaign, which calls for the completion of the 1916 Naval Act, a National Highway system and a tougher immigration system among other issues, wins handily in November, taking every state with the exception a few holdouts in the Old Confederacy.
 * The US was isolationist at this time. -Colgan
 * Syria asks the United States to consider supporting our cause for the claims in the Middle East (see diplomacy in my own turn)
 * Russian Soviet Republic: Vladimir Lenin after a cascade of successes albeit with a failure following the Vistula Offensive in Poland is confident in his nation's ability to finally win the Civil war. In a bold move the Soviets offer a ceasefire with the Poles effectively ending the Polish-Soviet war (this is per OTL with OTL treaty stipulations) (mod, please). Lenin, instead focuses on winning the civil war and crushing the loose coalition of the White army once and for all. He orders the Crimean and Caucasian offensives to push hard on the retreating whites effectively sealing their forces against the sea and with nowhere to run puts to siege the remaining whites. As well as this, Lenin makes major moves to secure and finalize Russian control over the Ukraine. With little to no resistance left from the Whites, the Red Army with nearly five million men begins pushing in every direction. It begins fully seizing the bulk of the Ukraine and moving on the Anarchists effectively beginning their liquidation and exploiting a peasant revolt to work on the destruction of of the anarchists. A major push with 50,000 troops begins in Karelia to bring far northern Russia back under Russian control. As well as this, with the fall of Kolchak and the effective end of the White Russian forces in the Far east, the Red Army builds up a huge supply base and launches a large and very dedicated offensive towards Vladivostok. Afraid of an offensive towards Petrograd, the Red Army officials authorize the sending of nearly 75,000 troops to counter Yudeniches 20,000 troops but the arrival of so many Red Army troops effectively prevents Yudenich from acting and makes him a nonissue. A Red Army detachment is send into Central Asia as well beginning to prepare a major offensive to seize the faltering Central Asian secessionist republic. In a bold move, Lenin begins funding the rebuilding and reconstitution of the Russian industrial base particularly in Moscow and its surrounding regions. Lenin responds with the Italian communists, fully recognizing them and writing to their leader Gramsci with Lenin even offering for Gramsci to come to Moscow to see the glorious Russian Workers Revolution firsthand. Lenin begins to work heavily on ideas for his New Economic plan making specific plans for an intermediate state of capitalism before a socialist paradise can be created. Lenin also calls the greatest doctors still living in Russia saying that "the wounds from that dastardly attack still haunt me, the bullet lodged in my body must go"
 * Romania, seeing the the Soviet Union as the inevitable future, seeks to repair relations, and begins by recognizing the union and lifting restrictions on some Romanian leftist groups.
 * Republic of the United States of Brazil: Like many other nations Brazil also sees the dawn of a new age with the beginning of the new decade. The Brazilian nation has great plans to industrialize and modernize in the next years rapidly. A trans-Amazon railway and the mass production of steel is planned within the next ten to 15 years. For managing these plans, American, German, French and Russian economic and infrastructure advisors are invited. (French/US/German/Soviet response please)
 * In order for our own infrastructure to be improved upon and to have experienced architects, we accept the Brazilians' request, and ship off 20 infrastructure advisors to Rio.


 * Kingdom of Belgium:Hurray! The war is over, Belgium has shown that neutrality can survive against aggressors. The frontpartij is getting punished harshly for working against the state due to the Francophone policies. Many of its members fear punishment but they do not back down. Instead they accept their guilt and begin to accept a more general socialistic and nationalistic view.The Belgian government also tries to focus on the Olympic games in Antwerp.

1921
Now starts the second turn of The Great Peace!

Great Britain invites Turkey and Greece to Constantinople to engage in Peace Talks, and possibly revise the Treaty of Sèvres.

With the success of the Red Army in the far east, many of the Whites experience defections, mainly by Whites who consider the “National Bolshevik” belief a viable comprimise.

The Deutschnationale Volkspartei, or DNVP, wins the Assembly Elections in the Free City of Danzig.

'''The war continues in Anatolia, with both sides using brutal tactics against each other. Many local Turkic communities commit massacres on Greek towns in Ionia. '''

'''Mussolini, seeing the rising socialist party as a major threat to the nation and Italian society, launches a anti-communist campaign within the ranks of his paramilitary organization. His secret paramilitary groups organize assassinations to break up the communist groups in Rome.'''

The Fengitian Clique declares war on the Zhili Clique, enforcing the claim that their warlord is he true leader of China.

'Militias and Paramilitaries around Germany begin clashing with each other, causing chaos and destruction in the streets, while police get tipped off by these organizations not'' to stop these street skirmishes. This causes hundreds of people to die in-between these clashes.'''

'''In the US, the first religious broadcast is heard on KDKA AM in Pittsburg. Mass media entertainment grows quickly in popularity through both the US and Britain.'''

Woman’s sufferage is attained in Sweden, and thus the National Sufferage society of Women is dissolved.

In Persia, Seyyed Zia'eddin Tabatabaee seizes power over the parliament as Prime Minister.

''' The peace offered by the Soviet Union is accepted by Poland, thus concluding the Polish-Soviet War. '''
 * Romania: Prime Minister Alexandru Averescu begins to centralize power around himself ruthlessly, suppressing opponents on both sides of the political spectrum. The People's Party is purged of the "Republicanist" faction, as Ferdinand is now an undisputed constitutional monarch. The natural gas, iron ore, petroleum and coal industries are nationalized. The "Greater Romania" territories are consolidated and fortified. Effective governance is set up, as well as encouraging economic competition in these territories. Left wing groups become more tolerated as per a desire to improve relation with the soviet union. An alliance of Social Democrats and other leftists form "People's Front", who support the monarchy but want greater representation for workers.Seeing as nothing came of our request from France, Alexandru releases that they just lost bank, and will give germany bank for tanks, since france does not want to pull a wank, so they will not have romania to thank, and frances future does not look dank, and their ships might even get sank, at least they will have to worry about losing their rank. Dip to Germany: We request some "armored cars", as well as german scientists to help us build some. In return, a lot of coal and petroleum, plus diplomatic influence will be given to germany. (Colgan respond).
 * German Dip. We agree to Romania’s proposal and send a team of german scientists and some old discharged WW1 armored cars to Bucharest. 


 * Kingdom of Belgium:The frontpartij members begin organising into a millitary wing called veteranen armee (Veterans army).Their millitairy wing is quite diciplined due to their experience in ww1.Their demands are higher pensions,right to speak dutch in the army and the seperation of the army into a flemish and walloon core.The rebuilding of Belgium also beings with the damage being verry big compared to most other nations.The flooding of the yser also has damaged the economy of west flanders greatly but this action was needed to preserve our liberty.A small amouth of belgian troops also cross the border and go into the city of aachen.This is done peacefully but with some minor clashes due to the german unaceptance of its guilt.As i do not trust Colgan as a moderator due to some issue i will leave this game.


 * Turkey: Kemal sends negotiators to Constantinople to take part in peace talks, although he has low expectations of their success currently. In other diplomatic efforts, Turkish and French political officials sign the Treaty of Ankara, ending the Franco-Turkish War in southern Anatolia. The successful conclusion of the war frees up nearly 20,000 troops for other fronts while the total size of the military continues to expand thanks to such diplomatic successes and the patriotic fever gripping the nation. By the end of the year the military ranks a total of 170,000 men in all armies, with the majority deployed at the western front against the Greeks. In the east, the Sentinel Army, now swelled to 35,000 men, continues to hold strong defensive positions in and around major cities. Numerous Armenian thrusts have been countered and dealt with, resulting in the front line changing relatively little for the time being. In the west, the National army is holding steady, giving limited ground but allowing the Greeks to make some progress. Numerous militias continue to attack Greek supply lines, weakening the Greek war effort as they get further and further from their base in Izmir. In both the east and west, frequent cavalry patrols and limited aircraft sorties keep commanders well informed about enemy troop movements and positions, reducing the risk of surprise. The war effort is kept well supplied by excess arms provided during World War I and from Soviet supply. As agreed upon from two years ago, the Bolsheviks have provided rifles, machine guns, light cannon, ammunition, and gold bullion with which to keep up the war effort. With Kemal and other modernist officers in charge, the Turkish military is constantly kept supplied and as well trained as possible given the circumstances. New weapons are smuggled in as best as possible from Germany and Red Russia. Kemal reiterates his desire for a just and durable peace for Anatolia and the Middle East, promising to enter into negotiations with the other nations of the world as long as the conditions of national self-determination and territorial integrity, as espoused by Woodrow Wilson and the rest of the Allies, are maintained. 
 * Armenian Diplomacy: Armenia inquires as to whether this means that Turkey will accept the borders that Wilson himself drafted for Armenia at the Treaty of Sevres, or whether "territorial integrity" means that the Turks intend to keep the land they seized from the million Armenians dead at their hands. Armenia asks the international community to refuse any peace with or recognition of this cabal of hypocritical mass murderers and to uphold the self-determination by aiding Greece and Armenia to secure the ancestral lands of Anatolia's oppressed minorities lest the Turks decide to slaughter another million.
 * The UK tells Armenia that Armenia is irrelevant, though recognizes the Armenian Genocide as a relevant occurrence in modern society, and promises to bring it up in Constantinople.- Colgan
 * United States of America: Newly elected President Leonard Wood follows through on his campaign pledge, passing the National Highway Act of 1921, which seeks to establish an extensive road system to aid in transportation of goods and people across the United States, as well as serve military purposes in times of conflict. Vice President Lenroot, meanwhile, helps to spearhead a Congressional committee to look into the creation of an oversight entity for financial markets, in response to the recent 1920-1921 Recession. Efforts to complete the 1916 Naval Act are continued, although as a sop to Congress all U.S. Navy Pre-Dreadnaughts are to be decomissioned and dismantled to lower costs. In the realm of foreign policy, the staunchly Anti-Communist Wood further reinforces American forces on the island of Cuba with an additional 6,000 Marines, to aid in controlling urban and rural areas to protect American sugar interests.
 * Syria dip: in order to provide for American economic interests, we ask that America applies diplomatic and economic pressure to Britain to withdraw its invasion


 * Hashemite Kingdom of Syria: The military is further organized and standardized, based on the British model, with the military occupying the claimed territories in Jordan and northern Palestine. Our claims to all of Greater Syria continue to be pushed through by the ambassador Thomas Lawrence, now stipulated in an agreement between Syria, Egypt, and France in the Treaty of Damascus . Abdullah ibn Hussein, brother of Faisal, is sent to Iraq as the true candidate for the Kingdom of Iraq while under British rule. The alliance is maintained with our father, Hussein ibn Ali the King of Hejaz. We continue to ask the United States for aid in developing our economy, specifically for proper development of natural resources, in exchange for giving a generous amount to the American companies. EDIT: Two prominent Emirs in northern Syria sends 1,500 volunteers among the Arab people to aid the Turkish government. In exchange, the Syrian Parliament asks Turkey, after its war of independece, to properly train the military using organization of the former Ottoman Empire.
 * American Diplomacy: American businesses adhere to the requests of the Hashemites, and Standard Oil of California forms the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO) in tandem with the Syrians. American investors, intrigued by this move, begin general investments into the region.
 * Seeing as Syria totally violated British integrity in the Middle East by occupying northern Palestine and Transjordan, British warship arrive at the coast of Syria and threatens to bombard populated areas if Syria does not stand down. A few thousand troops are sent to Palestine and Transjordan to enforce British claims to the territory, and begin clashing with Syrian troops, defeating them with ease.
 * Syria calls upon the full military of the Arab Legion, centralizing tens of thousands of volunteers and militias from across Syria, Iraq, Hejaz, and Egypt to fight the British forces in Palestine and Transjordan. 
 * U.S. Department of State: The United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James is instructed to request Britain respect civilian property and lives within the Hashemite Kingdom of Syria, as well as to float the idea of the United States acting as an intermediary to bring the conflict to an end before it escalates.
 * French Republic: (OOC: Did Romania seriously just threaten me?) Politics in our nation turn sharply to the left, catching many off guard. The right and the left both become more radicalized, but somehow the goverment holds together under the Center-Right party. More money is allocated to recovery, and funding the military. Colonial investments continue, and an offer is sent to Syria: In exchange for the establishment of a protectorateship, limited control over exports, and permission to build military bases as well as airfields on their territory.
 * Romania OOC: No, were just saying you lost a lot of what could cost a lot of stuff, and that germany has won our gruff, we do not plan to do anything dumb with france, otherwise that will make as numb, as the mods would put down their thumbs, and assume that i had a great bait mate but a little to late of a meme, a very poor theme.
 * Syria dip: we accept the protectorship, as long as France supports the claim of our land
 * Later Syria dip: we ask that France applies diplomatic pressure to get the British to recognize the claims of our land
 * France Dip: We support Syria fully, and tell Britain to back off.  The cruiser Dunkerque is sent to enforce it.
 * Later Egypt Dip: Dag Nabit, 500 troops are resent to the Gaza and Negev. They are ordered to not open fire upon European or Arab Troops but to protect civilians areas. The Egyptian government (most Wadi Party supporters) call for more troops to be called upon "The Syrian Struggle" but falls on deaf ears.
 * Japan: Hara Takashi continues to bukle down on his efforts to resist universal sufferage hoping to shore up his political support with the oligarchs and military. He agrees to increase the military presence in the Far East Republic to protect Japanese interests in East Asia and create a buffer zone between the Empire and Red Russia. With the Siberian adventure costing excruciating amounts of money and blood the military doubles down on their efforts to secure a successful outcome bringing the Japanese troops in the region to 85,000 strong while withdrawing form Chita falling back to the port Vladivistok where they entrentch thelmselves while the Imperial navy supports them. More troops are prepped to reinforce the imperial army in the soon to be besieged russian port. Efforts to keep subversive activities in occupied territories are made including expanding the presence of the Kempeitai (military police) who slowly take on the role of counter insurgency units policing and stabalizing major routes of communication in the Far east. Hara Takashi's cabinet continue to redouble their efforts to revitalize the economy and industry by trying to expand their markets in the colonial territories and in China through the Shandong, and in the far east republic. In private members of the opposition are sent to Moscow to see if a compromise cant be reached to end the bloodshed and prevent a larger conflict between the reds and the Japanese.
 * Korea: Efforts to moderate the policies towards integration of the koreans continue, With a loosening on languages restrictions being established and creating a dual linguistic system for korean kids though Japanese remains mandatory, and the only language in post secondary institutions. Industrialization and settlement of the peninsula continues as rialways, and factories continue to grow.
 * Taihoku (taiwan): Japanization and modernization of the island continues with the efforts of turning it into a model colony for Japan to show the world.
 * Zhili Clique: The new German weaponry and equipment is a great addition to the Zhili warlords' arsenal and can provide some advantage over other warlords. Since Duan Qirui agreed to join the Beijing government, the Anhui Clique is integrated into President Cao Kun's coalition, increasing its population and revenue from taxes and trade in the Shandong Province. Our total army increases to 200,000 men, combining with the Anhui forces. In response to Zhang Zuolin and the Fengtien Clique's declaration of war, the new force is mobilized to meet the threat. As one of China's best strategists, Duan Qirui is made army commander-in-chief, while Wu Peifu is his chief of staff. The two of them launch an offensive north of the Great Wall into Manchuria, pushing towards the Yalu River and the Korean frontier. One force of several divisions advances along the southern coast of the Liaodong Peninsula, with the objective of taking the port cities, while another force advances through the mountains towards the center of the Fengtien Clique. Meanwhile, back in Beijing, President Cao Kun continues reforming the state and the army. The government makes efforts to hire European instructors for military schools. The increased revenue from the Maritime Customs Service, trade in the Shandong region, and taxes allows the Beiyang government to to increase its budget.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: The Japanese applaud the Zhili on their efficient campign and offer to support them in their efforts to restore order to China along with opening of relations between Zhili and Japan
 * Zhili/Chinese Diplomacy: The Beiyang government is interested in increasing relations with Japan and asks to purchase weapons and equipment.
 * Japanese Dip: The Japanese agree to arms sales, and offer to help develop Chinese industry in joint ventures.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: The Beiyang government accepts Japan's offer to develop industry.
 * U.S. Department of State: Concerned by the growing influence of the Empire of Japan and the Zhili Clique, the United States Navy deploys an additional three gunboats to China to increase the U.S. presence in the region. The United States also condemns the aggression of the Zhili Clique.
 * The Hellenic Republic: The assault on Dardanellia goes spectacularly, with the 45,000 Turkish troops essentially swept aside by the veteran Greek army. Greek troops in Anatolia number 165,000 by mid year with 120,000 dug in along the Smyrna frontier. These men, the Army of Asia Minor (Στρατιά Μικράς Ασίας), begin a massive push eastward towards Ankara and rapidly seize Philadelphia. The Greek forces make it to within 50km of Ankara before they are stopped by an entrenched Turkish army. At years end there is sporadic fighting all along the over extended Greek front. However, high morale among the officers and men prevent the consideration of a retreat. At home support for the war is strong, but Prime Minister Venizelos faces several challenges in the from of monarchist and authoritarian movements within Greece. Although the monarchy has been officially abolished there are still supporters. Although the monarchists lost the election of 1920, they still hold a reasonably strong caucus in the Hellenic Parliament and consistently oppose the Prime Minister’s attempts to both wage war and protect Greek democracy.
 * Kingdom of Egypt: Faud is the KING. This leads to the government's attempts of improving literacy rates among the poor by forcing children to read English and Arabic books (This is looked down upon but is still used upon in poor areas). Quskut artist begin to make to national headline as the number of listeners blow up. The national army is formed and attempts to form a standing army is worked upon. Wafd Party supporters push for a formation of a constitution. The Egyptian King calls back 500 troops from the Palestine region and plans to pull out the rest in the coming time. WE send a envoy to Germany asking for 1,500 rifles and 300 armored cars, in return we shall sell to them the best Egyptians dates (idk, just ask for what you want on return). We send a envoy to Syria,Iraq, and Hejaz for a formation of a political cooperation stuff called "The Arab Legion".
 * Syria dip: We support the formation of the Arab Legion, organizing the combined Arab volunteers and militias of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Hejaz into a single army.
 * Russian Sovet Republic: The leadership suffers a dedicated shock as Joseph Stalin, suffering from a bout of appendicitis dies during his operation due to bad surgery. His death is shocking but Lenin having the majority of the nations top doctors involved in his own operation to remove the bullet from his body laments the death, but secretly is happy with the development having nicely removed one of his major rivals with serious ambitions on his position. The operation on Lenin is deemed a success and the bullet is removed from him with little complication. The push on the east is deemed a success and with the Japanese pulling support for Chita, and the city is resecured after a short and decisive push. Bukharin is appointed the supreme commander of the far eastern task force as a test of his abilities and loyalty with a full seat on the politburo on the line he meets with the generals of the far eastern armies, and decisively decides that with the japanese fallback from chita, that the Armies will converge on Vladivostok. While not equipped to their best, three seperate armies of roughly 80,000 strong per army converge on Vladivostok and set up a major front line. The Remainder of the Russian troops numbering nearly 1.2 million act as a reserve as the Vladivostok siege force in concoted to begin major offensive operations against the 85,000 strong Japanese garrison. The initial attack is slow and prodding as reconnaissance is put to order and heavy artillery bombardment is put into the attack. Interestingly enough the threat of the Japanese navy leaves the Russian forces in a quagmire. Artillery pieces are retrofitted as shore guns to try and and fend off the Japanese navy. The Western front against the faltering whites, remains lightly contested as in finality the Whites are effectively finished remaining only in Crimea with roughly 30,000 troops to their name. Lenin orders their liquidation and begins the final campaign (algo to come). With the end of the civil war in sight Lenin begins the official end of War Capitalism and begins pushing for his new economic policy to become the standard of the land. However with the potential for the civil war to carry on, Lenin and the politburo authorize the reconstitution of Russian industry in a more concrete sense. A comprehensive report is given over to Lenin about the status of Russian industry and it is noted to be abyssmal but with this report he starts to reorganize the industry stacking off of inertia from the previous year and the reconstitution of Moscows industrial base. This begins the constitutions and rebuilding of Industrial facilities in Belorussia, Ukraine, Smolensk, Kursk, and tens of thousands begin to be put back to work across western Russia. the NEP with its initial stages is initialized and light amounts of capitalism are allowed. The crushing of the last white army holdouts in Crimea effectively force the captured leaders of the white movement to surrender turning over all of the white russian territory to the Russian Soviet Republic.


 * Japanese Reaction: With the Japanese navy successfully keeping soviet forces at bay the troops dig in and Japanese Artillery position return fire against soviet formations, while the Japanese russian border is heavily reinforced.


 * Republic of the United States of Brazil: The first steps towards modernization are taken after the concrete plans for a modern Brazil. With help of german and brazilian architects the construction of the Trans-Amazon Railway starts in Macapá and will go along to the coast until it ends in Várzea Grande close to the bolivian border. The crew is prepared for difficult terrain and harsh conditions. On the political side of Brazil stability reigns, while trade unions get slightly more support because of the industrialization.


 * Weimar Republic (Deutches Reich): with the chaos in the streets, and many deaths, the Reichstag passes an act, by the request and full support from Müller, that makes paramilitary organizations without government support/recognition illegal and begins sending in the military, using the Fairly large WW1 stockpile of weapons he kept just for this occasion. Berlin Police is nullified from enforcing the law after Müller declares martial law in the city, as the police take over. The Freikorps, a right wing paramilitary organization turned terrorist group, is the toughest one the military has to face, as it is large and experienced, filled with veterans, but the military manages to displace them and arrest some of its soldiers and commanders. With war reparations still being paid, the currency of the Weimar Republic continues to inflate with 75 Markes needed to make a dollar. Corporations continue to go out of business and become easy pickings for coincidentally Jewish Corporatist and other multinationals. In February, Hitler spoke before a crowd of nearly six thousand in Munich. To publicize the meeting, he sent out two truckloads of Party supporters to drive around with swastikas, cause a big commotion, and throw out leaflets, the first time this tactic was used by the Nazis. Hitler was now gaining notoriety outside of the Nazi Party for his rowdy, at times hysterical tirades against the Treaty of Versailles, rival politicians and political groups, especially Marxists, and always the Jews.The Nazi Party was centered in Munich which had become a hotbed of ultra right-wing German nationalists. This included Army officers determined to crush Marxism and undermine or even overthrow the young German democracy centered in Berlin.Slowly, they began looking toward the rising politician, Adolf Hitler, and the growing Nazi movement as the vehicle to hitch themselves to. Hitler was already looking at how he could carry his movement to the rest of Germany. He traveled to Berlin to visit nationalist groups during the summer of 1921.But in his absence, he faced an unexpected revolt among his own Nazi Party leadership in Munich.The Party was still run by an executive committee whose original members now considered Hitler to be highly overbearing, even dictatorial. To weaken Hitler's position, they formed an alliance with a group of socialists from Augsburg.Hitler rushed back to Munich and countered them by announcing his resignation from the Party on July 11, 1921.They realized the loss of Hitler would effectively mean the end of the Nazi Party. Hitler seized the moment and announced he would return on the condition that he was made chairman and given dictatorial powers.At the next gathering, July 29, 1921, Adolf Hitler was introduced as Führer of the Nazi Party, marking the first time that title was publicly used to address him. The Banks within the country continue to fall being taken under control by Jewish bankers and such. German citizens struggle to make ends meet. Jews on the other hand, are living well due to their status in the country but also fuels further anti-Semitism. Due to their wealth, they would use their funds to buy properties and such extremely cheaply. This furthers Adolf Hitler's support as the Germans turn their backs on their Jewish neighbors more than usual with anti-Semitism being an issue in Europe for some time now. The average man could no longer sit back and not be political about the turbulence ahead as the extremist spectrums from both ends grows with the Nazi's having a very slight higer ground over the SPD. The government sells many of their military weaponry assets to help pay off reperations which ease inflation slightly which catches economic analysts off-gaurd. A community attempts assassinating Müller but fortunately it fails. This causes a sharp rise in security as several rogue undercover organizations attempt blackmailing and attacking politicians they see as enemies.

This causes a sharp rise in security as several rogue undercover organizations attempt blackmailing and attacking politicians they see as enemies.The Nazi Party begins fighting in the courts to have their paramilitary group recognized with progress being made. At the end, approval is expected by early 1922.
 * No Mussolini, no inspired Hitler, also there isn’t going to be more inflation because we actually paid off our reperations.-Colgan
 * Maybe its just me, but I am not sure how likely it is for reparations to be paid off in one year, but I'd be happy to see other arguments -Nate
 * Impossible - Steph
 * Egypt Dip: WE send a envoy to Germany asking for 1,500 rifles and 300 armored cars.
 * i am not a mod but i will say this adolf. Slow the fuck down. -warrior
 * Brazil Dip: To show the gratefullness of the Brazilian nation for the help of the germans with the construction of the trans-amazon railway, Brazil is willing to buy 2000 rifles and 300 transporters.
 * Armenia: by training (at least, somewhat) and arming almost the entire fighting-age male refugee population with purchased weaponry, coupled with substantial recruitment from the Armenian diaspora and the settled population, expands its military to 100,000, although the degree of anger at the Turks is such that conscription is largely unnecessary. Stripping troops from other sectors, almost the entirety of Armenian forces are concentrated in the Euphrates valley, while artillery is also stripped from the whole country and concentrated to provide this force with offensive power. With Turkish troops concentrated in major cities, Armenian forces are pushed up the railway past Erzurum, enabling the encirclement of that city's garrison, which is then subjected to a concentrated bombardment followed by an assault spearheaded by troops recruited from refugees from the city, who are deeply familiar with local terrain. Efforts to resettle refugees in rural areas begin; agriculture is effectively nationalized to sustain the armies in the field and the large populations that have fled the genocide. The government considers expanding recruitment to include women; it recognizes that defeat in this war will allow the perpetrators of the genocide to escape justice and to secure the lands they stole from the victims of the massacres. Guerilla units are formed from refugees and sent to cut Turkish supply lines in their former home regions, establishing bases in the remote mountains of the Anatolian Plateau. The government also buys and crudely arms a few biplanes from abroad, manning them with foreign pilots hired at usurious rates. Meanwhile, the Armenian government allies with Kurdish chieftains to recruit a Kurdish legion in the name of Kurdish self-determination and independence. Although this is distasteful to many, given Kurdish involvement in the genocide, others note that the Kurds also suffered some deportations and that there is no place for them in Mustafa Kemal's Turkish ethno-state. Kurdish guerillas expand the war into southeastern Anatolia, further worsening Turkish supply problems. Armenian envoys, along with Kurds, are sent to to Constantinople to demand that self-determination be uphold and only ethnic Turkish regions be included in the Turkish state, and to demand an internationally observed plebiscite after refugees in Armenia are allowed to return to their homes in peace.
 * Nope, your population is around 500,000-900,000 around this time, no way you have 100,000 people.-Colgan.
 * I would argue that immediately post-genocidal states can mobilize a uniquely large % of the population, especially against the same people who committed the genocide. Israel mobilized c. 120,000 men in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War from a population of under a million. Besides, according to, 1920 Armenia had 1.3 million people.
 * Okay, this is bullshit. You claim you can raise greater troops by hiring Kurds. I would like to remind you, the Kurds were one of the greater perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide. They were hired by the Ottomans to do the dirty work. They are as Anti Armenian as the Turks. Remember, a "turk" is ethnically greek mostly, but they assimilated because they were muslims, so thus became an enemy. (religious and ethnicity connection.) A "kurd" are related to Armenians, but are muslim. Just like Greek vs Turk, Armenian vs Kurd. What, should steph create turkish regiments in the greek army? - warrior
 * Yeah, but the Kurds aren't ideological at this point. They're just disorganized tribes, many of whom got in on the massacres for plunder; the Russians hired lots of Kurdish auxiliaries during WWI, never mind that they were Christians and the Ottomans Muslims. They are developing a sense of nationalism and rebelled in 1920 OTL against Turkey, which is becoming exclusive and ethnonationalist under Mustafa Kemal. OTL the Turkish commander who put down the Kurdish rebellion of 1920 committed massacres and even described his goals as to "clean up" another inconvenient non-Turkish group, like they had done with the Armenians. So there are shared interests; I can definitely bribe and hire individual chieftains.
 * Persia:after hearing that syria and brittain are fighting,many persian men and women sign up as volunteers and are sent to syria. Persian Diplomacy:The shah requests a meeting with his mayesty Faisal.
 * Syria: Faisal ibn Hussein visits Iran to meet with the Shah, and thanks his support
 * Republic of Austria :  Since the defeat of Austria-Hungary at at hands of the Allies the newly formed Republic of Austria has to face multiple problems such as economic issues and political instability. The newly elected Chancellor Micheal Mayr has issued many economic reforms replacing the old autocratic system with a newly formed capitalist economy.  Also with the army now reduced to 30 000 men we would like to sell military equipment to other nations .Nationalism also begins to rise as many Nationalist organizations protest against the Treaty of Saint - Germain -en - Laye which prevented the possible union bewteen Germany and Austria and reduced the Austrian military as also forbidding the Habsburgs from returning to the throne of Austria.  These Nationalists seek to reverse the Treaty imposed on Austria and to restore the monarchy.  Mayr's economic reforms are very successful as the Austrian economy begins to improve as his popularity begins to increase as many Austrians find new jobs as the rate of  unemployment decreases rapidly across the nation.
 * German dip. Despite these troubled times and what the entente May say, a majority of Germans still see Austria as their brothers, and due to this, we offer a trading pact, to represent that even though we cannot unify, Germany and Austria still stand strong together!e
 * Austrian Dip. We accept the Germans offer as we belive that together we can rebuild our nations and finally resotre peace.
 * Kingdom of Sweden: With Woman's Sufferage, it seems a new era for Sweden, but maybe not a good one. Iron Miners are under paid, under fed and in dangerous working conditions. Though protests are small, it may become dangerous. King Gustafs son is named Honin. The four Brother's meet in Helsinki to discuss the details of the Soviet Threat and it is determined that Finland will arm and defend it's border with the country and all countries will send volunteers to the border with Finnish soldiers. Germany continues to see funding from Sweden.
 * Most Serene Republic of San Marino: Influenced by their italian counterparts, the Fascist Party of San Marino as well as the Communist Party of San Marino grow among the small agrarian populace. Both are advocating industrialization, and modernization of the country and the current Captains Regent request Italian aid in modernization in order to help develop the country as well as ease trade between Italy and San Marino. The Captains Regent, urged by most parties in the parliament begin a debate on a more refined government organization.
 * Italian Diplomacy: A railway into San Marino would greatly increase traffic and aid both of our economies, as well as aid in your modernization. We propose a joint effort, to be undertaken within the next five years.
 * Italy: The Kingdom of Italy is headed by Victor Emmanuel III, known among some members of the populace as Il Re vittorioso (The Soldier King). However, the King's grip on his country is beginning to slip. While he was victorious in the Great War, the economy of Italy is suffering heavily. The disaffected portion of the population call him Sciaboletta (little saber), a crack at the King's diminutive height. Prime Minister Nitti is voted out of power in February after a vote of no confidence. Nicola Bombacci of the PSI is elected in late February, with the party winning 37% of the vote. The Turin Act is proposed, which would grant power to the unions and syndicates of Italy. It seems as if, after years of unrest, things might take a turn for the good. Italy's economy sees marked improvement as the strikes and riots begin to subside. However, the clear presence of fascism continues in Milan. The assassination of several union leaders bothers socialist leaders. Antonio Gramsci takes Lennon's offer and travels to Russia. The day after he leaves Italy, his residence burns down in an arson. The doors were barred and, if rumors are to be believed, blackshirts were waiting outside. Gramsci is not the only high-profile leader to be targeted. As Mussolini and Bombacci remained friends after Mussolini left the socialist party, the fascist leader loses a considerable amount of respect among his far-right cronies. In October, Bombacci is shot while entering his car. Gramsci learned via newspaper in front of several Russian delegates. The body of Bombacci was plastered on the front. Gramsci is described as having been deeply distraught, saying, "Look how they massacred my comrade." A new election is held and Tutli is elected. Almost immediately, he begins to reverse some of Bombacci's policy. The Chamber of Deputies regularly devolves into squabbling, which ultimately culminates in an all-out brawl on the Chamber floor. This brawl became publicized under a sensational name in English and American newspapers: The November Fisticuffs. The Italians, however, called this event Il Terminale. It signaled that democracy in Italy was no longer functioning. The strikes of 1920 began again, yet worse. Not only had the workers been wronged once more, the governing body of Italy had gone back on its word. Italy is in complete chaos. An arrest warrant is issued for Benito Mussolini due to his suspected complicity in the assassination of Bombacci, yet due to imcompetence in the constablury and chaos in the Chamber of Deputies, Mussolini is not arrested. Due to the chaos in northern Italy, frightened socialists had formed the Ardti del Popolo (The People's Daring Ones). On 6 December, the Ardti del Popolo marched on Mussolini's residence and, in an assassination attempt similar to that of Alexander Gramsci, his home's doors are barred and the house is set ablaze. Mussolini escapes through a window, heavily burned. He is taken by this militia back to Turin, where he remains imprisoned as of the end of this year. Alexander Gramsci returns to Italy in late November and begins speaking at various universities about communism. In the meantime, a rising star in the socialist party named Amadeo Bordiga declares that the peaceful democratic rise of socialism cannot and will not happen. He publishes the Ravenna Thesis, which outlines his beliefs. He begins gathering a number of strikers, union workers, and Gramsci's revolutionized masses.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: In the year of 1921, the United Kingdom finds itself as the world's largest Empire in history, administering a staggering 33 million square miles and a population of 423 million people. Despite being victorious in the Great War, the slaughterhouses of campaigns such as the Somme and Gallipoli are left engrained within British society for decades to come. However conflicts such as the Anglo-Irish war, the Turkish crisis and the Arab crisis continue to linger as major conflicts of interest for the British Empire. Under a coalition Government of Liberals and Conservatives, Prime Minister David Lloyd George continues to govern. In Ireland, under martial law during the gruelling Anglo-Irish war, British forces are left in statement with Irish para-militaries. Prime Minister Lloyd-George under pressure from the Opposition and King George V himself and facing intense criticism both hoME and abroad, writes to Irish Republican leader Éamon de Valera urging a conference for negotaition preceded by an immediate ceasefire and for the IRA to lay down their weapons. While agreeing to the conference, the IRA refuses the British demand, stalling the conference. As to prevent the ceasefire being broken, it is eventually agreed that British soldiers would remain in their barracks and a general relaxation of martial would occur. The truce, coneciding with King George's statement urging peace reconciliation between all Irishmen regardless of denomination, proves to be fairly peaceful. After months of gridlocked negotiation, a settlement is finally reached. It is debated within Dáil Éireann and narrowly passed. It quickly passes through the Houses of Parliament and receives Royal approval. The Settlement paves the way for the Anglo-Irish Treaty establishing the Irish Free State, one of His Majesty's Dominions, herby concluding the Anglo-Irish War. The result leading to massive demographic, with Catholic families moving in to the newly established South, meanwhile Protestant families move immigrate to the North. Despite the significant achievement of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the Arab crisis becomes a highly controversial issue within the Cabinet. Newly appointed Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill urges retaliatory action to protect the British Mandate of Palestine from the Hashemites. In contrast, prominent figures in the Cabinet attempt to filibuster any attempt to do so. After many heated Cabinet meetings, treating to rip the Coalition apart, Prime Minister David Lloyd-George approves of Secreatry Churchill's plan to send 7,000 soldiers to preserve Mandatory Palestine. The action is seen with particular curiosity in Mandatory Iraq in which the Hashemite Faisal Ibn Husayn was declared King just a year prior. To respond to this, the Colonial Office declares that the United Kingdom ceases all relations with the Hashemite Royal families.  This nullifies Faisal's position and he is quickly arrested. The drastic change in Middle Eastern policy alienates many of the high ranking officials within the Colonial and Foreign offices against Secretary Churchill. Domestically within the United Kingdom, the growth in popularity of mass-media is coupled with the growth of the British cinema industry. The British Empire continues to lead the world, politically, economically, culturally and scientifically. Lord Curzon arrives in Constantinople to negotiate a peaceful settlement to the Turkish Crisis and a possible revision of the Treaty of Sevres.
 * Persian diplomacy:Persia is offering to negotiate the release of king faisal
 * Gold Coast: Under the administration of Governor Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg, the colonial government continues its policy of infrastructure development for the benefit of the natives rather than solely for European capitalists. As a result, various western-hospitals, education centres and railway lines are built across the profitable colony. The exploitation and varieties of natural resources such as gold, metal ores, diamonds, ivory, pepper, timber, grain and cocoa continues.
 * Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria The crown colony of British Nigeria proves to be a difficult situation for Governor Sir Hugh Clifford, due to the divisions between the majority Muslim North Nigeria and the Southern Nigeria. Southern Nigeria tended to be more developed than the North. To counter this, Governor Clifford proposed implementing practises that had worked in the South in to the North, which would lead to uproar amongst the Northern Emirs. This would prove difficult due to the very decentralised system of governance adopted previous Governor Frederick Luggard. Sir Clifford's opposition to these concepts placed him in conflict with Liuetent Governor Richmond Parker.
 * East African Protectorate (Kenya): On June the 23rd, the inland areas of the Protectorate were annexed as British dominions by Order in Council. The new colony was placed under Commissioner Sir Edward Northey. Within the colony, tension begins to rise between White settlers and the natives objecting to these settler's. The conflict reaches its boiling point when a fight occurred between a native and a settler, leading to a series of provocations almost causing a massacre. Order is restored by the local military, leaving the highlands to be briefly under martial law, causing more bitterness amongst the settlers and natives.
 * Mandatory Palestine: A legion of 7,000 British soldiers arrives in Mandatory Palestine in order to restore order and prevent the Hashemite Syrian's from continuing their advance. They proceed to launch an attack on Syrian encampments in Nazareth, assisted by light artillery fire and Ariel assistance, marking the first time aeroplanes were used in armed conflict within the desert. The battle is won with relative ease. Following the brutal defeat, the British army co-ordiantes an offensive quickly capturing areas of Southern Syria and Lebanon. A final offensive is planned to take Damascus.
