Greece, April-July, 1930

Part One of Two Roleplay Posts

The Greek Civil War is in its final stages, the Metaxists win battle after battle, Liberals on the verge of capitulation;

Ο ελληνικός εμφύλιος βρίσκεται στο τελικό του στάδιο, οι Μεταξικοί κερδίζουν τη μία μάχη μετά την άλλη, οι Φιλελεύθεροι στα πρόθυρα της συνθηκολόγησης

Greece, Argos, April 1930

Ελλάδα, Άργος, Απρίλιος 1930

It was April 1930, the Greek Civil war is raging on, and the Greek Metaxists have just captured the key stronghold city of Argos. Metaxist troops are having a hard time advancing, as they are depleted and low on supplies, and a shipment from Italy is yet to come. These exhausted troops over the new year have been supported by 10,000 recruits, mostly young men. These brave young men came from the far-off regions of Greece, mostly from the North and Northwest. Although new, these troops were eager to defeat the Liberals by any means necessary, and on the 19th of April 1930, they were ready to prove it. A low amount of Liberal troops remain stationed at the Pelopponeese area, but a low and equal amount of Metaxist troops were also stationed in the area. To prevent a bitter stalemate, a move needed to be made by the Metaxists, a move that would hopefully end the conflict once and for all. It was decided to do an encircling movement, move in from Argos going South, and move from Argos East, towards the Saronic Gulf. On the 22nd of April, troops were ready to advance, with 5,000 troops both spread evenly on the planned areas of attack. On the 23rd, the Metaxists advanced towards their allocated positions.

With Metaxist troops advancing, Liberal troops did not even put up a fight in the attack's initial stages most fortified areas upon reaching it were abandoned, and with its artillery destroyed. Metaxist high command could only determine that this was an act to prevent the Metaxist capture of Liberal equipment. By the 28th of April, large areas of land had been captured, including the town of Astros and Kastri, and the ports of Tolo and Kantia. This rapid success only saw around 150 men killed and 1 tank get out of action, a small amount considering the much larger amounts the Metaxists had to deal with in their earlier campaigns. By April 30th, the entire Saronic Gulf was captured, this time, not as easily, with nearly 750 Metaxist and Italian casualties. With the gulf captured, Metaxist and Liberal troops enter stalemate once more, but unsurprisingly, not for long, for next time, the Metaxists will capture more and more land, taking major territories from the Liberal Army.

Saronic and Argolic Gulfs captured, Tripoli falls to the Metaxists, Venizelos captured, the Civil War is over

Ο Σαρωνικός και ο Αργολικός κόλπος καταλαμβάνονται, η Τρίπολη πέφτει στους Μεταξικούς, ο Βενιζέλος αιχμαλωτίζεται, ο εμφύλιος πόλεμος τελειώνει

Peloponnese, Greece, May-July, 1930

Πελοπόννησος, Ελλάδα, Μάιος-Ιούλιος 1930

As troops rush towards the Argolic and Saronic Gulf, another separate campaign has been made west, an attempt to capture the town of Tripoli. In order for this operation to work, 1,500 Metaxist troops had been sent from the Eastern to the Western Peloponnesian front. This would all be soon, and a coordinated two-pronged attack would be needed to capture Tripoli. On the 5th of May, the attack started with a 250 man diversion force to the North, and with the main attack coming a few hours later from the Southeast and Northeast. The diversion attack had been a success, distracting the large majority of Liberal troops away from key areas of the city. After a fierce battle spanning from May 5th-July 8th, Tripoli had fallen to the Metaxists.

While the battle was raging on, however, several civilians could be seen escaping north of the city, and these civilians were caught by Metaxists. The civilians, wearing thick clothing in the middle of summer, seemed suspicious, and they were sent to interrogation a few hours later. It was then revealed that one of the civilians was Liberal leader, Eleftherios Venizelos, being shaved and wearing a disguise. Upon hearing the news, he was immediately sent to Athens, personally to Metaxist leader, Ioannis Metaxas. There, after a fierce talk between the two leaders, Venizelos was forced to make a speech to the Liberal soldiers, to give up the fight, and that victory was no longer theirs. This shocking statement by Venizelos damaged Liberal morale and on July 22nd, 1930, Venizelos had formally surrendered Liberal forces, the Greek Civil War is now over, resulting in a total Metaxist victory.

THE KOREAN RESISTANCE: ‘LET’S SHOW THESE IMPERIALISTS ALL OUR STRENGTH !’[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]EXPLOSIONS, THE SIEGE OF DAEGUN AND THE FREE REPUBLIC OF DAEGU[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][sub]After the failure of the siege of Gwangju, which resulted in many deaths for the Resistance, many revolutionaries began to be chased and killed by Japanese soldiers. With that, Resistance began to draw plans to blow up the line of freight trains, precisely to compromise the transport of raw materials, which the Japanese obviously use for their business. A faithful Korean in his mid-40s, wearing an overcoat, was carrying dynamite and beside him was one of the freight train tracks. He tied up the dynamite and waited a few seconds, then another Korean appeared, gesturing to light the dynamite. With the explosion, it clearly drew the attention of the local police and later the Governor-General was notified, the Government’s new orders were to increase police patrols to protect the railways, but this did not stop the Resistance from fighting them. After the explosion of one of the Peninsula’s main railways, another also became a target throughout the week, this plan was designed to show Japanese oppressors the strength of the Korean Resistance. Now, with the weapons sent by the KLA, things are different for the Resistance members, the liberators were ready to resist the tyranny of Tokyo. The next plan to be worked out would be to take the city of Daegu. Basically, the Resistance would occupy the local city hall and provoke a revolt among the local residents, in favor of the Resistance. Of course, this won’t be easy, as the Japanese will naturally send troops into the city. But popular strength is the key.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]The first preparations to occupy Daegu begin. The Resistance initially spread anti-Imperialist posters through the city streets for local citizens to read, especially young people. Then, some Resistance trucks appeared on one of the access streets to the city hall, the local policemen who were in the city hall were taken by surprise and surrendered. Young people appeared in front of the city hall with anti-Imperialist posters demanding freedom for Tokyo. “WE WANT FREEDOM ! WE WANT JUSTICE ! I WANT A FREE KOREA !” – this is the cry of the oppressed people. Obviously, some soldiers who were stationed a few kilometers from the city learned of the occupation carried out by the Resistance and telegraphed the governor-general. In response, the Government-General ordered the preparation of 6,000 soldiers to go to Daegu, the preparation of soldiers would last 4/5 days. In the meantime, the Resistance declared the Free Republic of Daegu. “Freedom is at the heart of Koreans!” a quote that will definitely go down in history.[/sub][/list]

NATIONALIST FORCES STRIKE THROUGH THE SPANISH HEARTLAND AS THE REPUBLICANS FALL BACK TO DEFEND MADRID

JANUARY 1931

In the south the loss of Cadiz greatly demoralized Republican forces, leading to the capitulation of Ceuta to the Nationalists within two weeks of Cadiz's fall. The growing strength of the Nationalist Navy thanks to the capturing of Spanish warships in Ceuta and two days later Melilla would allow Franco's forces to conduct interdiction and close support operations, which could prove key in the next few days as the Nationalists prepare for a large offensive to capture the coastal city of Valencia, which would if collapsed pave the way to the fall of Catalonia, Barcelona, and eventually the entirety of Republican Spain.

With the southern territories now essentially solidified under Nationalist command, Francisco Franco, the self-declared President-General of the New Spanish Republic - a temporary name, issued Order AB-2, or the launching of offensives into the mountainous Spanish heartland, filled with mountains, cliffs and peaks. Nestled in all that rough terrain is nothing more than the capital city of Madrid, the center of government for the Second Spanish Republic, and the city leading the resistance against Nationalist rule. On 4 January 1931, four days after the turn of the New Year, a force of 12,500 Nationalist troops launched a two-pronged offensive northward, aiming to encircle Madrid by the 15th of this same month. From the north of Madrid, a smaller group of about 5,000 men began their offensive southward, effectively locking Madrid in a three-pronged attack.

Rather than stay and defend, President Manuel Azana, the head of the Republican forces, ordered the withdrawal of all Republican forces to the 'immediate Madrid area'. It was an extremely risky move, but it could cost or win them the civil war. The mountains are already extremely defensible by themselves, and if the Republicans withdrew their surrounding forces to Madrid defenses could be shored up and the city readied for the incoming battle, possibly increasing the city's chances of victory. However, the chances of the Republicans getting overrun precisely due to this maneuver are also equally as high. Now, only time will tell.

NEW DELHI TRIBUNE [sub]नई दिल्ली ट्रिब्यून [/sub] [sub]Volume 5, Issue 3 April 15, 1930[/sub]

[sup]Judge Grants Mahatma Gandhi Release From Jail Without Bail!!?[/sup]

[sup]Breaking News coming from the Bombay, where Mahatma Gandhi, notable and ever growing popular civil rights leader and attorney who had last month been arrested following the Salt March demonstrations. Where according to authorities had violated the 1882 Salt Act. Which gave the British a monopoly on the collection and manufacture of salt, limiting its handling to government salt depots and levying a salt tax. He was arrested a day following his acts of civil disobedience against the law.[/sup]

[sup]In what many have called an unprecedented move by both the civil rights leader and by the judge, Gandhi was released without bail after a back and forth between both the defendant and the judge. Sparking cheering and celebration from supporters both inside, and outside the courthouse. Gandhi on camera by both local and foreign news correspondents seen moving through the crowds on the second story before a cheering crowd of tens of thousands of people as Gandhi is seen putting his hands together, the crowd cheering "namaste" a well known greeting throughout India. Scoring a massive victory for not only Gandhi, but for other civil rights leaders and organizations participating in the nationwide non-violence movement.[/sup]

[sup]Cameras inside of the crowded courtroom show Mahatma Gandhi as he was escorted by police to the stand in the beginning phase of the trial, in which his bail was to be decided. The following transcripts follow just from hours ago, Judge R.S. Broomfield who was overseeing the preliminary trial regarding the defendant Mahatma Gandhi;[/sup]

[sub]Judge R.S. Broomfield: "Mr Gandhi, you have been ordered out of the providence, on the grounds of disturbing the peace."[/sub]

(footage showing few members of the crowd trying to rush towards the judge, to be held back by police. Before shortly calming down the crowd.)

[sub]Mahatma Gandhi: "With respect, I refuse to go."[/sub]

[sub]Judge R.S. Broomfield:: "Mr Gandhi, do you want to go to jail?"[/sub]

[sub]Mahatma Gandhi: "As you wish."[/sub]

[sub]Judge R.S. Broomfield:: "Alright..I release you on bail of a hundred rupees before I reach a decision."[/sub]

[sub]Mahatma Gandhi: "I refuse to pay a hundred rupees.."[/sub]

[sub](giggling and laughing heard in the background among the crowd inside of the courtroom.)[/sub]

[sub]Judge R.S. Broomfield: "Then..I will grant release on bail without payment..until I reach a decision."[/sub]

[spoiler=Gandhi Released On Bail, Reaction Following His Release]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lmVwOhJFhA[/spoiler]

[sup]Until a decision has been made in regards to the crime of which Mahatma Gandhi is accused of, he and many other key members have already begun plans for more demonstrations across India. All thanks in part of the non-violence movement which has begun to shape India on both the grassroots and mainstream level and has captivated millions of viewers and listeners from across the globe. With rumors of talks that Mahatma Gandhi has plans on contacting the British authorities from the Raj, to the crown directly in London, United Kingdom of Britain. More information as this progresses.[/sup]

[pre]EMPIRE OF JAPAN

THE TOKYO GOVERNMENT: ‘NO FREEDOM ! NO JUSTICE FOR TRAITORS !’[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][list][pre]TOKYO TAKES A FIRM POSTURE AT EVENTS IN KOREA[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][sub]With the recent events in which the Resistance occupied the city (Daegu) and proclaimed the Free Republic of Daegu, the Government-General ordered around 6,000 soldiers in 4 days to retake the city and kill/arrest those responsible. This has clearly reached the ears of high-ranking Japanese politicians, by decision of the Tokyo Government, an extra 1,000-strong military force will be sent to the colony to stop the Resistance. But that will not be enough to stop them, as the Resistance will always defend the Korean freedom they so yearn for. The 30-year-old Korean youth, being the youngest Governor-General, Gen. Miyazaki Masao, requested a meeting with (Acting) Japanese Prime Minister Kijuro Shidehara to talk and try to solve the problem with more calm and less militarism. Although the Governor approved the 6,000 soldiers for the reoccupation of the city, he proposed strategies involving only the police to fulfill this function, which would be precisely to arm police officers more. Prime Minister Shidehara heard the proposal, but denied it completely and added: “Only the Japanese military will have the role of defeating the Resistance.” Governor Miyazaki accepted the Prime Minister’s final word, left the Prime Minister’s Office, and returned on the first ship to Chosen.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]After his unsuccessful return from Tokyo, the Governor continued with plans to reoccupy Daegu and decided to add another 500 soldiers, totaling 7,500 soldiers (plus the 1,000 extra soldiers). A few days later, with the soldiers trained, the 7,500 men were sent to Daegu, where they ended up fighting the Resistance. Obviously, the Japanese conquered and recaptured the city. Unlike Gwangju, there were more Japanese deaths than revolutionary Koreans. That means the Resistance is getting strong and Tokyo needs to do something, and the Tokyo government has done something, which is just send more weapons to the Peninsula for the soldiers to get stronger.[/sub][/list]

RUMORS OF SOVIET INTERVENTION ON BEHALF OF THE REPUBLICAN ARMY SENDS SHOCKWAVES THRU THE NATIONALIST RANKS

JANUARY 1931

In all corners of the Iberian Peninsula, from the city of Cadiz to the city of Barcelona, rumors are swirling of a possible Soviet intervention on behalf of the Spanish Republican forces under President Manuel Azana. People originally thought it was laughable, really. The Soviet Union was too far and too unstable to even consider deploying forces or even sell weapons to Azana's Republican forces. However, reports of increased communications traffic between Madrid and Moscow went public in a whistleblower leak, and the public either panicked or celebrated. President Azana and the Republican Army has repeatedly denied these rumors, calling them 'absolutely and utterly false'.

However, Francisco Franco didn't believe in Azana, as he had always never believed in 'communist scum' like him. Franco summoned his top spies, diplomats and advisors to a meeting in Seville, the capital of the Nationalist forces, to discuss a course of action. All present agreed that a Soviet intervention could be lethal for them. They also agreed that Soviet intervention was highly likely. "I think we can all piece together what's going to happen here if Moscow intervenes," Franco said, "We cannot allow that to happen, not while we're in a stalemate like this."

On the ground of the Nationalist forces, meanwhile, shock was settling in. The rumors were extremely demoralizing, to say the least. If Russia intervened, the Republicans would almost certainly win, and they and their families would be persecuted and arrested for treason against the Spanish government. Francisco Franco did his best to keep his men's spirits high, but the reality was that if Russia did intervene, the Nationalists would be doomed - at least, until Franco is able to secure foreign support for his cause.

The city is now one of the main centers of Japanese militarism in the colony, the local population is estimated at 355,426 inhabitants. Over the years, the city went through a process of Japanization, where the Japanese government only allowed the Japanese language to be spoken in the city, but this was also, of course, imposed on the entire Peninsula. But what changed the city was the massive militarization carried out by Fmr. Governor-General Yamazaki before his death in December 1930. The capital is today one of the most fortified among all other cities, precisely to avoid the attack of the Resistance. The capital is today one of the most fortified among all other cities, precisely to avoid the attack of the Resistance. But of course Governor-General Miyazaki Masao has no plans to demilitarize the city, but will try to use a minimum of soldiers from the Imperial Army, as his strategy (which was ignored by the Prime Minister) tends to use only the local police, but not was approved by Tokyo. But there are plans by the Resistance to sabotage railroads near the capital, precisely to harm local commercial logistics. Everything will be done to harm Japanese business.[/sub][/list]

REPUBLICAN FLEET EMBARKS ON 'OPERATION RODEAR', SAILS FOR SPAIN's COLONIES

JANUARY 1931

The Republican flag fluttered effortlessly in the air as the final members of the crew of the Espanol cruiser boarded and prepared to depart the port of La Coruna, in the Galicia province of the Iberian Peninsula. Three days ago, the crew members of this expeditionary naval force had spoken up close with their leader, President Manuel Azana, who spoke of the importance of this mission to the continuing existence of the Republican state should the Nationalists secure the mainland and the trust he was placing in the men and women who were departing with them now. None of the men knew what exactly their missions were; that information was kept with the command and tactical staff aboard the Dedalo, the seaplane carrier that would be leading them down south. All they knew, and even this was just a rough guess, was that they were headed for Spain's colonies in Africa.

Operation Rodear, or surround in English, as it is known officially and to the command and tactical staff aboard the Republican task force, aims to (1) ensure that in the worst-case scenario the Republican government shall be able to survive on Spanish territory in some way or form, thus preventing Francisco Franco and the Nationalists from fully encroaching upon and securing the Spanish state, (2) ensure that the Nationalist forces will be unable to sail southward and decisively defeat the Republicans in the Spanish African territories, and (3) destabilize the Nationalist forces through whatever means necessary.

The task force, which had no official name to reduce radio traffic that could leak the mission's aim and location, will sail southward, detour at the city of Cadiz, 'bombard it to kingdom come', then sail southward to Larache, a harbor town vital to keeping the Nationalist forces in Spanish Morocco supplied, from where the fleet will then sail to Equatorial Guinea, seize it with the 2,700 marines aboard the fleet, relieve the 3,400-strong Republican force holding on for dear life in Bioko Island, in Equatorial Guinea, then with that force (and after depositing some of their own in the territory for defense purposes) sail northward to capture Western Sahara then hold it.

The plan is extremely risky, as it could either be a success, thus allowing the Republicans to keep even a toehold on the Spanish state, or it could be a catastrophic failure, and would result in the sinking of most of the remaining Republican fleet, which included Spain's prized seaplane carrier, the Dedalo.

FRANCISCO FRANCO BARELY EVADES CAPTURE AS THE TIDE OF THE WAR TURNS

FEBRUARY 1931

Brigadier-General Francisco Franco's transport plane had been stripped of all marks to avoid raising the eyebrows of the Republican air force pilots who dominated the skies over the Iberian Peninsula due mainly to the Nationalists' lack of an air force. Franco had done over twelve such flights over his own occupied territory, all of which had been fairly successful with only one close call with a Republican fighter which attempted to chase down the plane but failed when it lost it in the clouds. This would be the thirteenth flight, from Seville to Cadiz, and would mark the official entry of the Community of Cadiz into the New Spanish State, the official name for the Nationalist front. At about 1521 local time, about forty-five kilometers northeast of Cadiz, the faint buzz of a fighter could be heard from within Franco's transport plane.

The pilots immediately began evasive maneuvers, unaware of the fact that the fighter trailing them had not even noticed them - until the transport plane began banking away, immediately raising suspicion. As the pilot turned to follow Franco's plane, the charismatic Nationalist leader and his fellow passengers, mainly senior advisors and, surprisingly, three senior military commanders, went white with fear. If their plane was taken down they'd either be captured by the Republicans, killed, or worse, lost in the endless plains of southern Spain. It was only at around 1552 local time, over half an hour after the fighter began trailing them, that Franco's transport plane was able to shake it off in a large cloud.

Franco had just barely evaded capture, and that isn't the only bad news for the Nationalists. With the Russians bearing down on the Nationalist forces like a winter bear watching ominously from the sidelines, the Nationalist forces were demoralized and unmotivated to fight. After all, why fight for a cause that would eventually die out? In the north and centre of the country, particularly around the Madrid area, Republican forces, now strengthened in willpower, launched numerous offensives that successfully retook key ridges and positions that would make it exponentially harder for the Nationalists to advance further. The war wasn't going well for Franco, and this isn't the end of the downhill slope.

[list][sub]The Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai has decided to take a firm stand on the closure of Korean banks in the USSR. Something that was extremely debated by everyone in the Provisional Assembly, and Korean politicians asked President Yi to oppose the USSR for it, because although the ideologies between the Republic of Korea and the Soviet Union were totally opposite, the business of the banking sector should be excluded because they are just business. If there was something wrong with the Korean banking system, it could easily be fixed. But with the closure of Japanese banks in the USSR, President Yi was all in favor, knowing that the President hates the oppressor who currently controls the Peninsula, while Yi is sitting in his office in Shanghai – there is a foreign power controlling his country. At the request of Korean politicians, the President announces that the Provisional Government will oppose Moscow’s decision.[/sub][/list]

NATIONALIST OFFENSIVE ON MADRID FAILS, REPBUBLICANS EXPECTED TO GAIN GROUND IN THE NORTH

FEBRUARY 1931

In the early hours of Valentine's Day, 19,000 Nationalist troops launched a massive offensive on Madrid, with the aim of seizing the capital and demoralizing and finally defeating the Republican Army before Soviet reinforcements arrive from Russia. Franco had rushed the planning of the operation in order to have it conducted before the arrival of Soviet troops, which would surely boost enemy morale exponentially, and had launched the offensive while a division was still moving into place and preparing for the attack. To put it shortly, the offensive failed miserably, with over 2,500 Nationalists losing their lives over the course of the next six days. Francisco Franco was angered by the failure of the mission but deep down knew that it was his fault for rushing the troops into battle.

The decisive defeat of the Nationalists at the so-called 'Battle of Madrid' led to a surge in morale as the first Soviet transport aircraft touched the ground in airfields in Barcelona, the headquarters of Spanish forces in the strongly pro-Republican Catalonia region. With Catalonia stacking up on defenses and the region around Madrid consolidated into Republican control, plans for a Republican offensive into the Nationalist-held Basque region have already been planned, and should it succeed the war could almost certainly go in favor of the Republican forces under President Manuel Azana. With Soviet volunteers arriving, it could only be a matter of time before the civil war ends - in a Republican victory.

[list][list][pre]SHIDEHARA DESECRATES THE EMPEROR’S NAME IN PARLIAMENT[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][sub]On a very busy afternoon at the Imperial Diet, Deputy Tokuho Mitsui was brutally stabbed by one of the members in the arm with a fountain pen. Other members wielded daggers. In the midst of the ongoing struggle in Parliament, several heads and hands were severely severed. Other heads rolled after the police showed up. When the beating in Parliament began, Acting Prime Minister Shidehara was in the next room with some guards at his disposal. Hearing of the fight that was taking place, he left the Imperial Diet Building, surrounded by guards who are experts in jiu-jitsu.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]Reason why a fight started in a legislative building, it should be remembered that, for the Japanese people, the Emperor is the “Son of Heaven”, the 124th descendant of the Sun Goddess – Hirohito is a divine being. Whether they believe it or not, Japanese statesmen must act as if they believe that the Emperor has infinite knowledge, but Baron Shidehara did not do so a few hours earlier. Previously, politicians against the London Naval Treaty were completely infuriated by the Acting Prime Minister’s words, where Shidehara said: “If the treaty weren’t so good, do y’all think the Emperor himself would sign it with his own hands?”[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]The Opposition (Seiyūkai) was as furious as the U.S. senators would be if President Hoover mentioned Jehovah in the Senate. “Gentlemen, if the Prohibition were not good, do y’all really think that Jehovah would have approved?”[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]Of course, Prime Minister Shidehara corrected himself after desecrating the Emperor’s name. Baron Shidehara must not pronounce the Emperor’s name during a political debate. “I shouldn’t have said that, I apologize to everyone,” the Acting Prime Minister apologized. “I withdraw.”[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]Although the Opposition was somewhat calmer over Baron Shidehara’s apology, it was still furious that later, during a debate on financial issues, everyone began to get into a violent argument.[/sub][/list]

THE CONSTITUTION OF IRAN

[pre]February, 1931 | Malakal, Upper Nile Region, The British Imperial Crown Colony Of The Sudan[/pre]

AZAN OVER THE SUDD

Since Egyptian independence from the empire resulting in the establishment of the Sudan Colony with its own colonial government run from Khartoum, there had been a recent major shift in the social structure of the colony regarding the question over the Sudanese South. With the British now largely leaving the policies of the Sudanese Colony to both White British and Black Sudanese alike, the Sudanese have led a campaign within the religious communities of the colony to carry out an interestingly new operation in the Sudanese African south.

For months now radical members of the Sudanese leadership within the colonial administration have been planning to create a much more homogenous society in the Sudan in the hopes that it would much lower the rates of tribal conflict and disputes throughout the realm as well as have a more United society.

Before the abolishment of the condominium of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, the British government had taken on the majority of responsibilities and control over northern Sudan, advancing its education, infrastructure, healthcare, and colonial development in the region while maintaining a policy of segregation and separation between the Muslim north and African south. The British would leave the south to be under Egyptian control which had largely neglected the people of the south leaving the issue of government and social order to the many tribal chiefs in the south all while the North had been shrined and instituted in a western system of government.

However the new colonial body along with Governor Khalil had deeply felt that this policy of separatism between the north and south all while completely isolating the south from a say in the affairs of the government was simply going to cause more harm than good. As a result, the Sudanese body had campaigned and rallied both the British body of the colonial administration as well as the Empire to support more and equal investments and development in the Sudanese south. The administration had successfully gotten educational reforms to be implemented in the Sudanese South in a dozen of southern cities. With Arabic and Sudanese history established in the curriculum to more than a hundred students in the south, Sudan had already gotten a head start in getting the southern tribes to learn a more unifying language.

Another form of expanding that singular homogeneous society had come with a part of the educational reforms refusing any subsidies and funding to religious institutions and schools, including many Catholic and Christian schools that have attempted to move into the south to convert the indegenous tribes. However with funding lacking to these Christian schools many have been forced to pull out from the south making way for the far stronger and richer Sudanese Islamic Institutions to move into the south now with the separation policy being lifted.

Here in Malakal, a tiny trading post sitting by the shores of the White Nile and Sobat Rivers in the mid way point between Khartoum and Juba, the end of the separation policy has given a boost to the town as boat traffic on the Nile between the north and south exponentially increased. Over a year Malakal had grown in riches and size earning it the nickname, “Gateway to the South.” It is here in this city that the first grand mosque in the region south of the Separation Line would be built. The Grand Sobat Mosque has been established by wealthy Islamic merchants and citizens that have now settled in the southern city while integrating with the southerners.

For the first time since the fall of the Mahdiyya had collapsed at Khartoum in 1899, Allah’s call to prayers also known in the Islamic world as the Azan has been heard echoing from the white tower of the Sobat Mosque towering over the White Nile. It’s voice calling the Muslims to prayer from all over Malakal and the Sud, a region of central/southern Sudan.

With the Separation Line now abolished by the Colonial Administration, the Islamic faith seems determined to spread into the South as it now actively competes with Christian institutions. However, now that the mosques and Islamic order has no longer been restrained to the north, the Christians were no longer themselves restrained to the south as they too began establishing institutions in the north and west, especially within Nubian communities which had brought a resurgence to the Nubian Christian faiths.

Though it’s unclear how the southerners feel about this, one more factor would be used to unite the south into the creation of this homogeneous society and it was rapidly brewing all throughout the colony. For now however what the colonial administration seems to be doing is creating a mixing pot but using certain ingredients, the Arabic language, and the Islamic faith. It is only up to time to determine its success.

THE REPUBLICAN TRICOLOR IS RAISED OVER EQUATORIAL GUINEA FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF OPERATION RODEAR

FEBRUARY 1931

The ceremony was humble and insignificant. A line of captured Nationalist commanders, including a Franco friend and ally and the second-in-command of the New Spanish State, Alberto Juan Salazar, was tied up and forced to kneel on the ground before rows of Republican soldiers, who had mere hours ago stood victorious over the Colony of Spanish Guinea. As the Republican tricolor was raised and the anthem of the Second Spanish Republic blared, the Nationalist commanders hung their heads in shame. Francisco Franco's last telegram to them had been, 'do not return without bringing me news of a victory. Fail to defend Guinea, and you and your men shall rot'. Now, his men would indeed rot in a Spanish jail somewhere. Operation Rodear a success; Republican forces succeed in capturing Spanish Guinea, Nationalists poised to lose civil war. These were the headlines all over the country, following the success of Rodear.

President Manuel Azana via long-range radio praised the valiance and strength of the 4,500 Republican troops who had defeated about 5,000 Nationalist troops with superior weaponry, tactics, and a handful of Soviet volunteers who cleared the way for the Republican forces to rush into Bioko, the capital of Spanish Guinea. "This is a victory not for my government, but for all of Spain." Azana had declared via radio. While Manuel Azana was certainly not a perfect wartime president, he spoke with such conviction that his men were greatly inspired. The victory of such a long-range operation has also finally opened the door to a Republican victory, but for all Madrid new, Francisco Franco was planning something sinister, something that would change the war forever . . . .

[list][list][pre]This war, this battle, its horrendous. Absolutely horrifying. The blood, the death, my comrades' screams. Me and my battalion arrived here in Valencia a few days ago, we thought it'd be easy. We'd been assigned here from Barcelona to help build up the city defenses. Nobody was expecting a sudden Nationalist attack, yet it came like thunder and caught us all off-guard. We weren't expecting anything, we didn't ask for any of this. If I recall correctly we were just patrolling along an empty ally, white walls, an occasional soldier walking about who we'd wave to, all peaceful. Peaceful and quiet. Then came the gunshots. Nobody expected it, they just came like fire. We went running down the street to the one of the border gates, and there we saw a tank on fire and in the distance, just beyond the gate, bloody Nats* firing their guns like mad. My force went pale with fear. We raised our guns, tried to fire, but we hadn't encountered no Nat since training. These were our brothers and sisters, one of my partners said. They're Spanish too, he said. But alas, we stood there in the open for too long. They massacred us like sheep, lured us in for slaughter. Nine of my comrades-in-arms died immediately. It was only I and two others who survived the attack. That was yesterday, now our regimental commander is prepping us for another attack tomorrow morning. May God save our souls.[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][sub]When it comes to the births of Imperial princes and princesses, they are strictly timed by the Court, being the most meticulous in the world. One morning at around 9:50 a.m. at the Imperial Maternity Villa, Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Nagako went into labor. After 132 minutes. Precisely two minutes past noon. Her Imperial Majesty gave birth to a baby 49 centimeters (1.6 ft.) long and weighing 3,365 grams (7.4 lb.). After the baby was born, the Tokyo municipal siren rang to alert all citizens, the National Radiocasting System started to broadcast the news on the radio, the Official Gazette gave the news to everyone.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]The sex of the 4th child of the Imperial couple was of extreme national importance, as the three previous daughters were girls, in which a girl died. It was also important to Crown Prince Chichibu, the Emperor’s older brother, and Crown Princess Setsuko. Both were obliged by the etiquette of the Imperial Family not to have children, only the Emperor had the role of generating an heir. Thus, the sex of the baby was revealed, it is with great regret for the Empire, the child was another girl. The new princess was presented with a short sword (9.5 inches long), a gift given by her frustrated father, the Emperor, Son of Heaven.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]Even if the baby had been born a boy, the child would still be given a sword which means “to ward off evil”. Being a girl, the new princess was also presented with a purple skirt, “emblematic of femininity”. The princess was handed over to two wet nurses, wives of military officers. For months, they studied Yamato Kotoba, the special language of the Court, to properly address the princess.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]Carefully, some editors note that the Emperor is only 30, the Empress turned 29 the day before her fourth child was born, and that the two are “still in good health to have more heirs”.[/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | The French government has voiced it's concerns over the increasingly out of control Spanish Civil War between the Republicans and Nationalists. While the French government places it's concerns on border security and the containment of the conflict to Spain itself, the government has refused to support either side. Although it has become no secret with certain high ranking officials proclaiming their personal support for the Republican cause on the Iberian Peninsula. President Gaston Doumergue has stated that he "will work with and cooperate with whomever the victors of the war are on a purely mutual basis." In the meantime, the French border security forces have been placed on a heightened alert while also ensuring and guaranteeing the sovereignty of Andorra. The French government has offered to send in special aid teams to assist in caring for casualties on both sides in a mutual and purely humanitarian mission. | [/sub]

CIVIL WAR TAKES A TOLL ON CIVILIAN LIFE AS FAMINE SPREADS, RESOURCES DIVERTED TO THE WAR EFFORT

MARCH 1931

The civil war has now started to take a toll on civilian life in horrifying numbers. These immeasurable deaths are not through casualties from bombings or killings, but from starvation. In the past few weeks a famine has spread across the country, drying up and killing crops, starving farmers, and forcing the prices of essential goods upwards exponentially. In cities all over the country, both Nationalist and Republican, democratic, socialist or fascist, the dark cloud that was the Great Famine was now looming over the people of Spain. First it was those in rural areas who reported mass crop starvation and a sudden drop in harvests; then small cities like La Coruna, the last Republican stronghold along the Atlantic Ocean, began reporting mass shortages of food. It was taken lightly at first, because a lack of resources was common especially in a civil war and a nation like this.

However, the government began taking notice when larger cities, which had been well-supplied up to this point, began reporting shortages of vital supplies and commodities like bread and wheat. When President Manuel Azana went with a film crew to show the Republican public that the harvests would be fine this spring, he was met with vast, empty fields, dried up and withered by the heat of the Spanish sun. Within days, it was confirmed that a famine had erupted across the country, with basic commodities now extremely rare or completely unreachable. The Republican Foreign Ministry subsequently released requests for basic humanitarian aid and food supplies for the civilian and fighting populations from Victoria Harbor and Metropolitan Francais.

Francisco Franco and the Nationalists were also equally affected by the growing famine, with Seville falling into chaos as mothers marched with empty pans, demanding that they be given food and other commodities to keep their families afloat physically. Franco urged the New Spanish State to remain calm and await the end of the civil war 'which would surely bring about a new, prosperous and bright future for us all'. With no international support for the Nationalists in sight, though, the chances of Franco's regime collapsing from the inside rather than from outside invasion grows likelier and likelier every single day.

And although the famine continues to grow in scale and magnitude, resources have been diverted to the war effort en masse, with what remains of Spain's crops and yields being seized by the Republican and Nationalist militaries to fund what they keep repeatedly saying will be 'the final offensive'. With support for the war crashing on both sides, but on the Nationalist side in particular, some say it is only a matter of time before the Spanish Civil War comes to a drastic and inconclusive end.

[pre]H O O V E R I N V O K E S V E T O[/pre]

HOOVER WHITE HOUSE v. CAPITOL HILL

[sub]WASHINGTON D.C., Paramountica — AFTERNOON[/sub]

| The PRESIDENT made a clear signal and intent on the direction of Bonus Loan legislation on Capitol Hill — he vetoed such measures — — Only for Congressional action to override his veto objections. The PRESIDENT also vetoed a CHIPPEWA INDIAN LAND bill — a bill to hospitalize Army civilians — and another to give immigrants dismissed from active duty service in the armed forces Veteran benefits. Also on the docket and expected to receive HOOVER’s veto are the Muscle Shoals act; designed to build a dam in the Tennessee River and sell government-produced electricity. Congress passed bills to harness energy from the Tennessee River, but the previous President, COOLIDGE and the current President, HOOVER — insist that private enterprise should do the job, and like before, The PRESIDENT intends to veto it once more. The later concern will veto legislation to coordinate Federal & State employment agencies — — In all since taking office, The PRESIDENT has vetoed 14 bills in total. |

| Friends of HOOVER exclaimed this was a great show of his valiant independence, but the PRESIDENT’s critics accuse him of deliberately ignoring public sentiment expressed in Congress to break Grover Cleveland's veto record. |

[list][list][list] [sup]In five months (March—August 1886), President Cleveland vetoed 108 Civil War personal pension bills.[/sup][/list][/list][/list]

░▒ | At the White House, Senator GOULD of Maine hosted a French-Canadian hunter party to present the PRESIDENT with moose meat. The visitor spoke with birch bark horns to his lips. |

[list]| GUEST of SENATOR GOULD, French-Canadian Hunters | “Mr. President, now let me show you what we call OUR version of that noble Bull Moose!”[/list]

| Not a fan of T.R. Roosevelt’s flare of “Bull Moose” Republicanism, the PRESIDENT responded jokingly dismissively. |

[list]| [sub]HERBERT HOOVER, The President[/sub] | “No, no, please don't do it! If you don't mind, I'll look into that horn.”[/list]

| After the French-Canadian party of hunters departed, some of the wealthiest from our northern neighbor, The PRESIDENT had a discussion with Elk-Lawrenece H. Rub, property owner of much of the land in Northern Maine and they discussed the lodging industry’s crisis of unemployment. |

░▒ | The PRESIDENT appointed 65-yr-old LAURTIS SELMER SWENSON as U.S. Ambassador for the Netherlands. Mr. SWENSON, of blonde hair and blue eyes also served as Ambassadors to Denmark & Norway and is adored by both Scandinavians and at home here in the United States. |

░▒ | What the PRESIDENT has VETOED in MARCH alone— |

[list][list][pre]i) Vetoed; increase in pensions for veterans of the Spanish War (Congressional override despite his objection);

ii) Vetoed; First Disability Pension for Veterans (as amended by law)

iii) Vetoed; Bonus Army Loans (Reimbursement for Great War veterans)

iv) Vetoed; Land Management in Honey County, Oregon;

v) Vetoed; Federal Reserve plans to mint ¢50 cent coins to commemorate the Gadsden Purchase of 1853—1854.[/pre][/list][/list]

[sup]RIRA Members Attempted Raid Armoury In Chittagong, Manhunt Underway!!?[/sup]

[sup]In breaking news coming from the city of Chittagong, India. Members of the Revolutionary Indian Republican Army, an organization formed following the establishment of the Jugantar party in April of 1906. Growing higher in popularity following the declaration of self rule by the Indian National Congress early this year. The organization reportedly 65 suspected participants attempted a raid on police and auxiliary forces from the Chittagong armoury in the Bengal Presidency of British India. Reportedly the armed Indian independence fighters are led by Surjo Sen, who is suspected in planning the raid.[/sup]

[sup]Inspired by the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland, they had plan to capture the two main armouries in Chittagong, destroy the telegraph and telephone office, and take as hostages members of the European Club, the majority of whom also to be raided, while rail and communication lines were to be cut in order to sever Chittagong from Calcutta. Imperial banks at Chittagong were to be looted to gather money for further uprisings, and various jailed revolutionaries would be freed.[/sup]

[sup]At 10 p.m. on 18 April 1930. The police armoury (in Police Line in Dampara) was captured by a group of revolutionaries led by Ganesh Ghosh, while another group of ten men led by Lokenath Bal took the Auxiliary Forces armoury (now the old Circuit House). Some 65 people took part in the raid, undertaken in the name of Indian Republican Army, Chittagong Branch. They failed to locate ammunition but did succeed in cutting telephone and telegraph wires and disrupting train movements.[/sup]

[sup]So far no arrest have been made as of late, with federal troops being called up for immediate deployment in Chittagong.[/sup]

hey everyone in this region, I gotta tell you guys about something

you have a nation named Napolean The Great in this region. Do not trust him.

I am the owner of 2070 Rp Region. Napolean has been banned from it for breaking multiple rules (godmodding, ban evasion, creating multiple puppets to gain power in the RP, harassment of RP members, teaming up with another nation Footmania to try to create chaos in our region, and so on).

I would encourage you all to not let him join the RP in any way shape or form. If you need more convincing, look at his factbooks. The only two factbooks he has are talking about messing with our region.

the fact that he has left proves my point. good day to you all

VALENCIA FALLS TO REPUBLICAN FORCES IN MASS SOUTHWARD PUSH FOR THE SOUTHERN MEDITERRANEAN COAST

APRIL 1931

After much fighting, death, bloodshed and a fair share of horribly planned offensives, the city of Valencia has now, after an estimated 9,000 Nationalist and 11,000 Republican deaths, fallen to the forces of the Republican government under Manuel Azana. The city, which serves as a key trading hub and naval base for whoever held it, was vital to ensuring that the southern Republican push set for next month would be successful, as it would serve as a key supply hub for the Republican troops that would be pushing southward soon. Now under Republican control, Valencia would immediately begin shoring up resources, materiel and troops in preparation for the large advance that would begin the next month.

However, two divisions, about 14,000 troops in total, led by General Sebastian Aznar, launched two southern offensives early, perhaps due to a communications error. The nearby divisions on its flanks were not ready to advance and hence did not move forward from their defensive positions, and merely watched as 14,000 Republican troops and about 120 light tanks pushed southward. To everyone's surprise, the advance succeeded, and Aznar's divisions advanced over 52 kilometers southward before being ordered to halt and await reinforcements by the government in Madrid.

With the capturing of these new territories, though, comes a new possibility. With this area of the southern countryside secure, the Republicans will be able to focus their largest force, an army of nearly 50,000 troops and 150 light tanks and other armored vehicles, on advancing towards Seville and Cadiz, thus eliminating the threat posed by the Nationalists and forcing them into the fringes of Spain. While the colonies remain firmly under Francisco Franco's control, the Republicans believe that once Spain is returned to the Republicans, the civil war will have ended and the country will be able to walk on the path towards recovery while battling for the return of Spain's colonies.

THE ROMANTICISM OF GRAN COLOMBIA

[list][list][sub]Gran Colombia, an image of Latin American republicanism. Flanked by the Caribbean Sea to her north and the Pacific Ocean to her west, Gran Colombia’s urban centers of commerce are alive with the music of samba and tango and the voice of Carmen Miranda. Cash flowed from petroleum revenue patróns leased out to private Norte Americano investors for considerable privileges. Automobiles, buses, and trucks moved Gran Colombia’s urban populace in effervescent movement. The Gran Colombian capital of Bogota sat high in the Cordillera Oriental, the widest range of the Colombian Andes and serves as the administrative center of Simon Bolivar's republic.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list][list][sub]Bogota’s population was only rivaled by the waterfront center of Caracas, home to the petroleum patróns of the soil and a popular summertime destination for the well-to-do from Europe and America. Both Bogota and Caracas host European-designed buildings set around shady streets that mixed the pueblo so closely to the highest merchants and bureaucrats of her day.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list][list][sub]However, drive an hour or two outside the waterfront shores or Andes metropolis and a very different picture of Gran Colombia sets into stone. Gran Colombia’s rural isolationism hits home with a flat tire on a rutted dirt road or a highway impassible by the hand of a mud-thick river overflowing over. Gran Colombia’s private owned railways were uncomfortable, with trainmaster schedules undependable. Everyone wanted to fly and since the end of the Great War, Gran Colombia found herself blessed with the arrival of something never before seen on the South American continent, the birth of the gospel of flight.[/sub][/list][/list]

SOVIET SUPPORT FINALLY ARRIVES; FRANCO PREPARES TO DEFEND SEVILLE FROM INCOMING REPUBLICAN FORCES

APRIL 1931

Finally Soviet aid began flowing into the country in bulk in the early days of April. President Manuel Azana of the Second Spanish Republic was the first Spaniard to greet the first shipments of aid to the country, where he presented the pilots with honorary awards for their support of the Republic. President Azana via the press thanked Comrade Premier Joseph Stalin for his support of the Republic, and bid him good health and prosperity in his life. With the arrival of Soviet aid came successive victories in the west and the mountainous centre of Spain, pushing the Nationalist forces further away from Madrid and ever closer to Seville, the de facto capital and military headquarters of the New Spanish State, under Francisco Franco.

In the city of Seville itself, Franco was preparing for the worst-case scenario. He knew that if he fled, his cause would fail and the New Spanish State would be restricted to mere African territories, until the Republicans and the Soviets regrouped and defeated them once and for all. Basically, he couldn't flee. If he did the Nationalists would be demoralized and would collapse almost immediately. Hence Franco began preparations to defend Seville from the incoming Republican forces. He roused the people of Seville and called them to arms, and supplies from all over southern Spain were brought in to fortify the city and build trench networks and lines of defense in the north and east of the cities, where an assault was most likely. Observational outposts equipped with Aldis lamps and telegram systems were established in rings of seven five kilometers, eleven kilometers, and fifteen kilometers out of the city.

These outposts will serve as early warning systems to alert the city to the arrival of oncoming enemy forces. While certainly not built to withstand attack and machine gun fire, these outposts could prove vital to preparing the city and readying its defenses in time for the arrival of Republican troops from the north and east, the most likely entry points of a Republican invasion and assault of the city.

BALEARIC ISLANDS FALL TO THE REPUBLICAN FORCES AFTER DECISIVE BATTLE SINKS TWO-THIRDS OF THE NATIONALIST FLEET

APRIL 1931

The Eastern Trio, or the Balearic Islands. A vacation hotspot and strategic island chain in the Eastern Mediterranean, composed of three islands. At the start of the Spanish Civil War the Islands, enriched by tourism and support from the central government in Madrid, pledged allegiance to Manuel Azana and the Republican Army and dispatched its substantially-sized naval task force of four destroyers and one heavy cruiser to intercept shipments moving for or flying the flag of the Nationalist forces. This 'task force of death' as it became known among Nationalist sailors had been eerily effective in sinking Nationalist shipping, greatly disrupting Franco's supply lines and saving countless Republican lives.

However, on 14 January 1931, Nationalist rebels assassinated the governor of the Balearic Islands province and seized control, demanding that the islands immediately declare allegiance to Francisco Franco and the New Spanish State or 'grave consequences' will be carried out. The islands, sparsely defended by Republican troops but instead guarded by local Guardia Civil officers who had different things in mind compared to the Republican forces on the mainland to whom the provincial government was subordinate to, fell to Nationalist forces who landed after dispatching a squadron of two destroyers to distract the 'task force of death'.

Since then, the islands have been under the firm control of Franco's Nationalist forces, with about 2,500 professionally-trained Nationalist troops and about 3,000 Nationalist militiamen being stationed on the three islands combined. In February and March respectively the Republicans attempted to seize the Balearics, but failed both times as the 'task force of death' had fallen under Nationalist control when the islands fell to Franco's forces. In early April, however, with about 500 trained Republican marines, with a force of 1,000 Republican infantry covering the rear, an assault was launched on the sparsely defended center island while a Republican task force of three destroyers, a light cruiser, and a submarine went off to engage the 'task force of death'.

The offensive was a success, and to the shock of practically everybody, two-thirds of the Nationalist fleet, which had been all sent to the Balearics after the attacks were reported back in hopes of cutting off the landing Republicans, was sunk in a decisive naval battle, thanks mainly to the fact that the Republicans had an attack submarine on their side. By mid-April most of the islands were back under Republican control, and naval dominance of the Eastern Mediterranean was handed back to the Republicans, a title they had not held since the islands fell in January. With the Nationalist fleet now crippled, the southern territories of Spain are now open to attacks from the sea by Republican forces . . .

NATIONALISTS RETALIATE IN SUCCESSFUL NORTHWARD PUSH TOWARDS MADRID, WORRYING REPUBLICANS

MAY 1931

| After the loss of the Balearics and the Republicans now bearing down on Seville, the Nationalist capital, the situation for Francisco Franco was dismal, if not absolutely ruined. Half of his general staff were calling for Franco to negotiate with the Republicans for peace, before his image as a general was tarnished forever. Not only would his popularity among the people be in the toilet, as it already is in Republican Spain, his stature as an experienced strategist and military commander would be diminished significantly, if not completely. However these calls were not heeded by the head of the New Spanish State. Seeking to strike a blow so hard it would make the Republicans worry about how much they underestimated Francisco Franco, Spain's Duce, the Nationalists' eyes turned to Madrid. |

| For most of the war the city of Madrid had been fairly safe, with artillery bombardments here and there, occasional airstrikes by fleeting Nationalist air squadrons who happened upon the city miraculously without a map or any method of navigation, and the closest enemy troops had been to the city was about 56.2 kilometers, at the 'height' of the Nationalist strength in Spain, when it was on the cusp of securing Madrid and winning the civil war. The city had not been as devastated as Valencia or Seville, or the countryside in which fighting was prevalent, which meant that Republican public support for the war was still fairly high, since a decent amount of the Republican population were centered in Madrid and the nearby mountains, which were easily defensible and thus barely if not never reached by Nationalist forces. |

| However, on 27 April 1931, a force of 19,500 Nationalist infantry and 4,000 Nationalist militiamen, under the cover of darkness and a creeping barrage orchestrated by artillery from the mountaintops and hillsides nearby, the Nationalists struck north in an attack that many in Republican Spain thought was impossible due to rampant food shortages and disorganization among the Nationalist ranks. The strike was so unexpected that the Republican forward forces had to retreat since most of its men were not prepared for such a rapid assault. It was only once the Nationalists were a mere 121.2 kilometers from Madrid that the Republicans were able to slow down then eventually completely stop the attack. |

| However, although the battle has now turned into somewhat of a stalemate, with both sides now evenly balanced, the Republican leadership were now somewhat worried. They had thought - as most of Spain had thought - the Republicans were exhausted and prepared to surrender. Rumors of a negotiation for peace had been swirling, but now this? This could change everything. In the assault the Republicans lost 1,200 troops, compared to the Nationalists' 900 casualties. Could the tide of the war be turning? And if so, would the Republicans be able to save themselves from defeat? |

The Private War in Libya

[list]KUFRA, ITALIAN LIBYAN DESERT[/list][/list]

| The war has silently raged under the scorching Libyan sun for nearly 10 years. Forces of the Royal Army have struggled against the Senussi — indigenous populations led by Omar Mukhtar, a revolutionary and scholar of Islam. The race to capture Mukhtar has proven unfruitful for many years, but a decisive victory at the small oasis village of Kufra shattered the Senussi forces. General Rodolfo Graziani committed 4,000 troops to the effort, as well as a squadron of tanks and aeroplanes. It is the first time in history that tanks have been used this far out into the desert. The Italians marched into the village by force. Aeroplanes indiscriminately bombed the village, while tanks gunned down anyone ahead of them. The village was left utterly destroyed. The Senussi were forced to retreat into the desert, with no time for gathering supplies. Their fate in the desert might be set it stone, but the Senussi are a tough race that has withstood the desert for many hundreds of years.

General Graziani marched into Kufra victorious, raising the Italian standard over the rubble that was once a vital Senussi base. Surrounded by hundreds of corpses, the troops saluted the flag. A momentous victory for the Royal Army! |

| Benito Mussolini had put Graziani in charge of the Senussi campaign despite calls from his cabinet against the decision. Graziani is a brutal man, and under his command the war has entered barbaric levels of brutality. In the Libyan desert, concentration camps have been erected to separate the civilian population from the rebels, to annihilate rebel morale and reduce the help rebels receive from civilians. What had begun as skirmishes in isolated outposts has escalated into a contained total war. Water wells used by Senussi civilians are often poisoned, and reprisals against interned civilians are common. Coastal cities like Benghazi or Tripoli are effectively insulated from this, as the aristocratic Fascist elite use the cities as centers for Italian art, culture, and immigration in North Africa. They hope to soon spread the glory of the fasces deep into the interior.

It's worth mentioning that Libya has been considered a part of Metropolitan Italy for a decade now, which increases the important of ending this campaign with haste. |

ASSASSINATION OF İSMET İNÖNÜ (1/2)

June, 1931

The Turkish Prime Minister İnönü is in his private car, heading to the Turkish Parliament with only his personal bodyguard with him.

The Prime Minister briefly stops the car on the side of a road to find his papers, a bearded man dressed in a rugged suit walks up to the car and knocks on the window. The Prime Minister opens the window.

Unknown man: Are you İsmet İnönü?

Prime Minister İnönü: Yes, do you need something?

Unknown man: Allahu Akbar!

The Prime Minister is shot point blank in his forehead. The bullet passes through his skull and also hits the bodyguard in the shoulder.

The Prime Ministers body immediately collapses back onto his bodyguards lap, his eyes fade of color and he dies on the spot.

The bodyguard attempts to shoot back at the man, but the man manages to run away without being shot.

The bodyguard immediately runs to a nearby phonebooth and calls the authorities, an ambulance and multiple police cars arrive soon after.

The Prime Minister is officially declared dead, his body being carried away in an ambulance car.

President Atatürk and the Turkish Press is informed of the fatal shooting of Prime Minister İnönü soon after.

The next day, A funeral commision is set up to plan out the funeral of the Prime Minister, a candlelight memorial is set up near the spot where the shooting happned, and President Atatürk arrives in the Ankara Radio Station to broadcast a speach regarding the assassination.

Broadcaster: Radio Ankara with a special news bulletin. President Atatürk will speak about the recent assassination of the Prime Minister shortly.

The Radio station is silent for the next 30 seconds.

President Atatürk: Citizens and patriots of the Republic of Turkey, yesterday morning, a national tragedy occurred, my friend and Prime Minister İnönü was shot and killed by a religious terrorist in cold blood while driving to the Grand National Assembly building. The exact reason for the assassination is unknown, but let it be known to the vile perpetrators of this crime that they will be found out and brought to justice.

A week-long period of mourning will be put in place, with all Turkish flags flying at half-mast including our foreign embassies.

Glory to the Turkish people! Glory to Turkey!

[list][sub]The main mode of transport that Tokyo considers extremely important to the economy is the rail system, particularly with regard to the South Manchuria Railway, considered the “Japan’s Panama Canal”. It is an important railway for the Japanese, being the vital artery that conducts the Japanese Empire’s trade in Manchuria, where there are already thousands of Japanese farmers already established. Something Japan should have done before, but has been doing recently – which was the appointment of a new president of the Southern Manchuria Railway, a position that is far above party-political conflicts.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]Previously, previous Presidents were appointed by the party itself, when the current party (Minseito) took control of the government, politicians have found themselves losing their jobs. Now, Japan has appointed a new President of the South Manchuria Railway, Count Yasuya Uchida.[/sub][/list]

[list][sub]The Count Yasuya is often compared to Otto Kahn in the way he wears elegant suits, has absolutely exquisite taste, and has been Minister of Foreign Affairs three times. He was also a member of the Privy Council of the Emperor, the “Son of Heaven”. As a man who is above any political rivalry, being a Japanese citizen in the highest position to command the Panama Canal. A man of good taste, Count Uchida said: “Those are just my three policies: we will preserve Manchuria from civil war; we will open a door for trade and enterprise; and we will preserve Japan’s treaty rights.”[/sub][/list]

[sup]Mahatma Gandhi Viceroy Lord Irwin Sign Historic Agreement In London!!?[/sup]

[sup]With breaking news coming from London, the United Kingdom today as Mahatma Gandhi and other civil rights and political leaders from India met with Lord Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax. Leading to what many describe as victory for Indian nationalism and civil rights advocates with the signing of the Gandi-Irwin Pact. The planning of this historic meeting was to not only discuss a future constitution, but to discuss the offer of dominion status for British occupied India, well as to negotiate the situation in regards to the Salt March which had lead to the arrests of tens of thousands of people.[/sup]

[sup]"The two leaders" — As Sarojini Naidu described Gandhi and Lord Irwin—had eight meetings that totaled 24 hours. Gandhi was impressed by Irwin's sincerity. The terms of the "Gandhi-Irwin Pact" fell manifestly short of those Gandhi prescribed as the minimum for a truce.[/sup]

[sup]-Discontinuation of the Salt March by the Indian National Congress.[/sup]

[sup]-Participation by the Indian National Congress in the Second Round Table Conference.[/sup]

[sup]-Withdrawal of all ordinances issued by the Government of India imposing curbs on the activities of the Indian National Congress.[/sup]

[sup]-Withdrawal of all prosecutions relating to several types of political offenses (Rowlatt Act) except those involving violence.[/sup]

[sup]-Release of prisoners arrested for participating in the Salt March.[/sup]

[sup]-Removal of the tax on salt, which allowed the Indians to produce, trade, and sell salt legally and for their own private use.[/sup]

[sup]Many British officials in India, as well as in Great Britain were outraged by the idea of a pact with a party whose avowed purpose was the destruction of the British Raj. Despite the harsh criticism The Viceroy had agreed to the withdraw all ordinances and end prosecutions, release all political prisoners, except those guilty of violence, permit peaceful picketing of liquor and foreign cloth shops, restore confiscated properties of the satyagrahis, permit free collection or manufacture of salt by persons near the sea-coast, and to lift the ban over the Congress.[/sup]

[sup]The political agreement not only nullify or severely limits past existing laws such as the Rowlatt Act, including the salt tax. It would effectively free tens of thousands of people from prison, and despite the historic agreement, many here in India continue to Satyagraha or "holding firmly to truth", or "truth force", is a particular form of nonviolent resistance or civil resistance. Someone who practices satyagraha is a satyagrahi. The term satyagraha was coined and developed by Mahatma Gandhi.[/sup]

[spoiler=[sup]"Its root meaning is holding on to truth, hence truth-force. I have also called it love-force or soul-force. In the application of satyagraha, I discovered in the earliest stages that pursuit of truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one’s opponent but that he must be weaned from error by patience and compassion. For what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent, but on oneself. - Mahatma Gandhi[/sup]]

[list][list][list][pre]USSR ★ UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS

Союз Советских Социалистических Республик | CCCP[/pre][/list][/list][/list]

COMRADE STALIN AT THE HELM; A COURSE FOR THE SOVIET PROLETARIAN!

ТОВАР СТАЛИН У ШЛЕМА; КУРС ДЛЯ СОВЕТСКОГО РАБОТНИКА!

[pre]First it was Comrade Lenin, father of the October Revolutionary cause, next tried Comrade Trotsky and today Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the CCCP helms the course of the Soviet future. As of recent, no public declaration from the Kremlin has been issued but all the same, Comrade Stalin allowed the press of the CCCP, led by Pravda, the largest state run newspaper to publish a speech given by Comrade Stalin to industrial executives of nationalized Soviet industries. The words Moscow correspondents have printed may very well soon be law.[/pre]

[list]”The goal of Communism has not been reached yet, Comrades! The party’s directives for emergency remain required, it is unbearable to see the plight of our Soviet inequality to comrade the hard labor of a train driver to a bookkepper!”

“Товарищи, цель коммунизма еще не достигнута! По-прежнему требуются партийные директивы на случай чрезвычайной ситуации, невыносимо видеть бедственное положение нашего советского неравенства, когда тяжелый труд машиниста поезда заменяется бухгалтером!”[/list]

[pre]The wages of train drivers and alike skilled proletarians, Comrade Stalin declared, are going to be raised. Raised for the betterment of the working class, the labor of the Soviet Union. The wages will be sustained above the wage level of unskilled proletarians and what the Kremlin has nicknamed “white collar yes-men” working in comfortable offices presumably in administrative and accounting titles.[/pre]

[pre]Does this contradict with the theory of Soviet wage scales? Up until now, Soviet economic doctrine approximates wage equality between the unskilled and skilled. Comrade Stalin’s new direction pulls away from that but establishes a new Soviet wage scale to build up the working proletarian.[/pre]

NEW WORK WEEK FOR THE PROLETARIAT; TO BE ALTERED!

НОВАЯ РАБОЧАЯ НЕДЕЛЯ ПРОЛЕТАРИАТА; БУДЕТ ИЗМЕНЕНО!

[pre]There is a joke inside factory floors, whispered but strong, “Destroy the family!”. That is the sentiment felt by amany Soviet factory workers when the Kremlin moved the work week from 5 days of rest and a universal day of rest on the last, to a “five-day week”. This five-day week began to run state-owned factories with 4/5ths of the Proletarian force and 1/5th on a day of rest. The day of rest could come at random to families so the joke was made, “destroy the family!”for a couple may have different “day of rest”.[/pre]

[pre]Comrade Stalin, at the helm of the great CCCP, now believes this new work system does not work. It has been tested since the fall of 1929 and enough had been enough. The old system of five days work and one day rest for everybody has been returned. This move by the Kremlin has been applauded by the Soviet voting councils of the workers’ on factory floors.[/pre]

BUILDING A NEW RED INTELLIGENTSIA!

СТРОИМ НОВУЮ КРАСНУЮ ИНТЕЛЛИГЕНТУ!

[pre]Comrade Stalin also declared a new era of tolerance for the Pariah class of the union, known as the "bourgeois intellectuals” with great distain from the majority of the Soviet population. The professors, industrial managers and innovators who remained from the Czarist and pre-October revolutionary cause should be embraced by the Soviet Union for the redirected cause of building Communism’s proletarian intellectuals. A new working class, a red intelligentsia to make the achieve of Communism the goal. Comrade Stalin’s new directions have been received well, the priorities of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is unmatched in the world![/pre]

[sup]In the year 1919, Sadar Amanullah Khan would come to the throne after the death of his father during a hunting trip. Unlike his father who perused a policy of appeasement and passivity, Amanullah under the guidance of his father-in-law, Mahmud Tarzi, an Afghan intellectual, took a more assertive policy than his father. Culminating in the 3rd Anglo-Afghan War, securing total Afghan independence from the British. Following on from this, Amanullah spent the rest of his reign trying to rapidly modernize his country. With the aim of making it strong enough so that Afghan sovereignty would not be at risk again. However, this drew resentment from a vast portion of Afghan society, who felt the King was antagonizing certain foundational principles of Afghan culture. As a result, a revolt broke out in 1929 led by the Bandit King, Habibullah Kalakani, who overthrew Amanullah forcing him to abdicate the throne to his eldest brother Inayatullah Khan, whom himself was overthrown not long after. Nadir Shah and his brothers who belonged to the House of Musahiban, part of the Barakzai Dynasty, would wage a year-long war against the Bandit King Kalakani, bringing an end to the chaos at the end of the year. With Kalakani dead and his rivals in self-exile, Nadir went on to consolidate the throne. With the support of the military and his many tribal allies, Nadir would be declared the Shah of Afghanistan via a tribal assembly. Officially becoming the new Shah of Afghanistan on November. Nadir Shah upon taking power immediately went to work restoring the national government, dishing out important positions in his government to his family members and those who had showed loyalty in the war. Although Nadir Khan placated religious factions with a constitutional emphasis on orthodox denominational principles, he also took steps to modernize Afghanistan in material ways, although far less obtrusively than Amanullah. To rebuild Kabul authority, the government enacted a policy of improving road construction, especially in the great north road through the Hindu Kush, expanding on methods of communications such as signal stations, telegram lines to important cities, and establishing the first ever university of Afghanistan, named the University of Kabul. However, while construction is finished the employment of staff is still ongoing thus the school remains inactive.[/sup]

[sup]Foreign governments were quick to recognize the new Shah, the first being the United Kingdom whom had a hand in Nadir's ascension to power during the war. The British Raj also resumed diplomatic relations with the Afghan's, alongside France which hosted many members of the House of Musahiban. As Shah of Afghanistan Nadir Khan quickly abolished most of Amanullah Khan's reforms, attempting to appease the clergy and conservative elements within Afghanistan to gain further legitimacy. Nadir Shah, however, was not necessarily against the progressive ideals of Amanullah but rather, he favored a more slow form of progress as to not lose local support. In his own words, "The medicine that Amanullah used was not bad in itself, but rather, he used to much of the medicine and became sick". Despite his approach and return to more traditional style of rule, Nadir Shah was faced with many uprisings that year, despite his efforts to rebuild an army that had just been engaged in suppressing a rebellion, the forces remained weak. While the religious and tribal leaders grew strong. Nadir faced many insurrections, including the Koh Daman revolt (29 November – 30 June), the Shinwari rebellion (February 1930), operations against Ibrahim Beg (November 1930 – April 1931), the Ghilzai threat (1931), and that same year, a Soviet force crossed the border in pursuit of an Uzbek leader whose forces had been harassing the Soviets from his sanctuary in Afghanistan. He was driven back to the Soviet side by the Afghan army in April 1930, and by the end of 1931 most uprisings had been subdued. In order to placate the Soviets and avoid potential threats, Nadir Shah signed a Treaty of Friendship with the Soviets, in which the Afghan government would deport Soviet citizens, most being Jews seeking refuge in the British Raj. Nadir Shah would also deport many Afghan Jews to the USSR as well. The reason being that Afghan Jews were potentially serving as spies for communists. Most would have their wealth and property sized by the government. What remained of Afghan Jews would be forced to live in a Jewish quarter in Kabul, closely monitored by the Afghan government.[/sup]

| The desperate cries of students and civilians demanding FREEDOM and the end of JAPANESE IMPERIALISM echoed through the city streets — wearing a black suit with a light blue tie — wearing a black overcoat, a guerrilla walked through the crowd, warning everyone to occupy the city hall! — At City Hall there were Japanese working in the offices and, fearful of dying at the hands of the guerrillas, the Japanese fled through the back door. The enraged and oppressed people invaded City Hall and with the guerrillas, killing the remaining Japanese officers. |

History of Liberia

In 1847 the American Colony of Liberia would declare it's independence from the United States. Though independence wouldn't be recognized until 1862. In 1865 the University of Liberia would be formed. In 1888 the Liberian National Assembly would be a multi party democracy with 3 parties at the time. In 1890 the industrial revolution would finally spread to Liberia. During the 1890's the country would experience great economic growth.

Improvements in infrastructure, education, industry, and immigration of African Americans from the United States helped improve the country. Between 1890 and 1910 Monrovia's population would increase from 2,000 to 25,000. Monrovia would see massive improvements transforming it into the Charleston of Africa. During the first world war Liberia with what industry it had would help the war effort.

During this time of liberalism the nationality law would be expanded to all races excluding natives. Between 1919 and 1929, Liberia would see a economic boom and infrastructure boom. Government buildings once held out of crumbling old colonial era buildings would be replaced by new grand buildings. Monrovia would have a population of 70,000 by 1930. Natives would be allowed to live in townships or rural areas throughout the country. While the Americo-Liberians, and other nationalities would live in the city or town proper.

When the Great Depression hit Liberia, natives and non-natives were hit with unemployment, poverty, and financial hardships. Now, the nation stands with multiple parties hoping to the nation in a different directions. Only time will tell.

[list][list] SWISS GOLD STANDARD UNDER PRESSURE AS ECONOMIC DOWNTURN CONTINUES

—[/list][/list]

ZÜRICH

[sub]SWITZERLAND, THE HELVETIC REPUBLIC[/sub]

| Almost two years after the devastating market crash in New York City, the economy of the Helvetic Republic would still be in decline. With no end in sight, politicians who had hoped that the markets would recover without significant government intervention would finally come around to recognize the heat of the situation. Both the federal Swiss and local canton governments would increase public social spending during the recession to an all-time high. Although funded mainly by taxes, the national deficit would still rise at an alarming rate due to the taken measures.

Swiss economists would begin to question the gold standard. Some would believe that it is only a matter of time until it is devalued, or even completely abandoned by the state. Swiss banks would also be hurt as a growing number of customers would experience financial difficulties. Switzerland's major industries would still be taking losses. The metal, chemical, machine, agriculture, luxury goods, and textile industries all would be facing more price drops. Perhaps, more importantly, though, those in the service-based workforce, such as finance and banking, would see significant unemployment. The Swiss people would have yet another hard year ahead of them. |

[list]SEPTEMBER, 1931

[list]CAIRO, KINGDOM OF EGYPT

[list] EGYPTIAN 1931 ELECTIONS [I]![/list][/list][/list]

| [sub]Following a year of difficult economic troubles, where mushrooming food prices, ballooning unemployment and a shortage of fuel and cooking gas had caused Egypt's worst crisis in its current state of existence. This allowed the Young Egypt Party, a radical and youthful movement, to exploit the Egyptian people's worries and create a surge in support. Despite the curve in Young Egypt's popularity starting to seem as if it has hit its total peak, the movement would be able to cause a ruckus within the Egyptian political system and cause panic amongst the establishment within Egypt. Egyptian males, aged 18 and over, went out of their way to make their voices heard on the 7th September - supporting the "new Egyptian solution", which is an “Egypt First” nationalist sentiment combined with a public work scheme to employ thousands of Egyptians and the turn to a corporatist economic system. Many Egyptians are willing to overlook the imperialistic sentiment in regards to their worrying views towards the expansion of Egypt into an "Egyptian Empire" encompassing Sudan and influencing the rest of the Muslim world, whilst just as many Egyptians support such a move. There is a split within the Young Egypt Party, albeit rather trivial, but based on the idea of an Egyptian Empire taking its roots in Pharaonism. The hardcore Islamists of the party disagree but the two sides are willing to compromise in the mean time with the aim of solving the question once the party had achieved at least some semblance of power. This election would be a bookmark in the history of Egypt, what path its people chose to go down and what the future of Egypt will turn out to be. [/sub] |

[spoiler=EGYPTIAN 1931 ELECTION RESULTS]

[sub]THE EGYPTIAN PARLIAMENT HOLDS 596 SEATS, WITH 299 SEATS BEING A DEFACTO MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE:[/sub]

[list]WAFD PARTY, Muhammad Mahmoud Pasha: 252 SEATS - 39% OF THE POPULAR VOTE

LIBERAL CONSTIUTIONALIST PARTY, Adli Yakan Pasha: 243 SEATS - 37% OF THE POPULAR VOTE

YOUNG EGYPT PARTY, Ahmed Hussein: 57 SEATS - 13% OF THE POPULAR VOTE

EGYPTIAN SOCIALIST PARTY, Hosni al-Arabi: 21 SEATS - 5% OF THE POPULAR VOTE

OTHER: 23 SEATS - 6% OF POPULAR VOTE

RESULT: [sub]Hung Egyptian Parliament, Wafd Biggest Party - Coalition Needed. [/sub]

| [sub]The question on the minds of the establishment is quite simple, will the two biggest parties risk doing a deal with the devil in order to secure their own place in power? Will the Young Egypt Party be given a stepping stone into the Egyptian government? The leader of the Wafd Party, Muhammad Mahmoud Pasha, and the LC Party, Adli Yakan Pasha, are both considering this carefully. The Young Egypt Party is the only chance for a solid and cohesive government to be formed, and some members of both parties believe that the YEP can be bended to their will and act as a sort of puppet on a string for the government.[/sub] |
