1924
January


 * 1 January: Merchant flag of Japan (1870).svgUssr-prop2.png Japan and the Russian Socialist Republics sign the Treaty of Kyoto, ending the war between Japan and Russia. While an armistice was signed in October 1920, a peace treaty had not been negotiated until later 1923, when Japanese diplomats met with USR leaders. This treaty marks two occasions: the establishment of a Japanese Empire in former European held and settled territory, and the first foreign power to theoretically recognize the USR by signing a treaty with them and not the White Russian loyalists.


 * July: US flag 48 stars.svg The US economy, not having suffered from a terrible war and extending lines of credit and sold food, raw materials and manufactured goods to the victorious Central Powers, begins a major economic expansion as Europe struggles to rebuild. Unemployment drops to an unprecedented 4.2% by the end of the year as industries begin to expand their workforce to sell materials to Germany, the Danube Confederation and other Central Powers, who mostly pay for the goods from the reparations from the defeated Entente Alliance, though both sides are dependent on American loans to fund and support their governments


 * 8 August: Flag of France.svg General Petain, head of the Emergency Government of France, resigns as President of France to allow a new, civilian government to come back to power. The National Assembly, having been elected a year before under military auspices, select Alexandre Millerand, a supporter of the military government, to be president until the next election.


 * 5 October: Flag_of_Russia.svgUssr-prop2.png The last White Army in the Russian Civil War is destroyed in the Battle of Samarkand, and the Union of Russian Socialist Republics at last is victorious in the Russian Civil War. Official date for the end of the Russian Civil War.


 * 4 November: US flag 48 stars.svg The US Presidential Election results in a solid victory of Republican candidate, Vice-President Robert M. La Follette with his running mate, Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, who received 382 Electoral College points. The Democratic ticket of former Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo from California and Texas Governor Miriam A. Ferguson, the first female Vice-President Candidate received 149, with every state in the south including Kentucky voting for the Democrats.

1925

 * 17 February: Ussr-prop2.png With the end of Russian Civil War, President Leon Trotsky of the Union of Russian Socialist Republics announces a new constitution, and renames the state to "Federation of Soviet Socialist Republics," with five Republics joining together: The Russian Soviet Socialist Republic (the largest); the Ukraine Soviet Socialist Republic; the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic; the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic; and the Union of Trans-Caucasian Soviet Republics.

1926

 * 9 July: Flag of France.svg In the first election's held after the end of the Military Dictatorship of General Petain two years before, the National Unity Coalition of different parties lead by the now retired Phillpe Petain wins an overwhelming victory, and Petain is named President of France again, this time with a popular mandate. One of his main campaign platforms is to establish a new constitution for the Republic.


 * 17 August:Flag of France.svg President Petain calls upon the leading intellectuals, politicians, jurists and leaders of France to meet at Nantes to establish a new constitution for France. The guidelines he outlined included a strong executive, a two house legislature, and an independent court system, as well as the maintenance of all political, social and legal rights.

1927

 * 1 January: Flag of France.svg The Forth French Republic is declared into existence with the implication of the Constitution of Nantes, voted upon in November last year. The Presidency has been made into a five year term with unlimited number of consecutive terms allowed, and the President has the say on nominating the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, and other major officials. In return, the Legislature, divided between the National Assembly and the Senate, has budget controls (mostly the National Assembly, the lower house: the Senate is unable to delay a yearly budget) and the Prime Minister must be named from either the leader of the largest party in both houses of the Legislative branch, or a coalition of parties that control popular support. The Legislature is also able to be dismissed (by the president) and elections held in the case of a vote of non-confidence. Observers call this new constitution a "... haphazard combination of UK Parliamentary and US Presidential systems, with a touch of Gallic political infighting and gridlock run amok."

1928

 * 6 November US flag 48 stars.svg US President Robert M. La Follette and Vice-President Calvin Coolidge easily win a second term as Republicans. The Democratic Party suffers one of the most lopsided defeats so far in American politics, with Presidential Candidate Texas Senator John Nance Garner and his running mate Atlee Pomerene of Ohio losing every state except four in the Deep South (Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Louisiana) 481 to 45. This was a further surprise in that the loosing party won neither of the home states of the Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidate.

1929

1930

 * 7 March US flag 48 stars.svg After years of remarkable economic growth driven by both the reconstruction in Europe and a red hot stock market, the New York Stock Exchange suffers a major downturn for the first time in six years. Several causes are identified: the inability of the defeated nations in Europe to repay their reparations to the victors, the slowdown in many of the rebuilding efforts in Germany and the Danube Confederation in particular, and the overpriced stock market. Experts at the time believe that this is only a minor market correction.


 * 19-22 August US flag 48 stars.svg The New York Stock Market crashes, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for investors throughout the world. Millionaires who had made their fortunes on the stock market are ruined in days, and the flood of panicked selling overwhelmed the ticker tape system.

1931

 * 10 July: Flag of France.svg Presidential Elections are held. Philippe Petain easily wins another term, but a surprisingly strong showing of the Parti pour la Renaissance Française (PRF), lead by veteran Jacques Doriot, leaves questions as to what shape the new French Republic could take. The increasingly anti-Communist, anti-Jewish, revanchist PRF had been responsible for increasingly violent demonstrations and attacks on synagogues and communist rallies.

1933

 * 9 June: Flag of France.svg President Phillipe Petain is shot as he leaves the Presidential Palace in Paris, and dies in a few hours. The Forth French Republic now appears to be in trouble, as there was no Vice-President to take his place, and few politicians in France could command the same following or popularity as the deceased "Hero of Frankfurt."
