[Saladin23]

His Highness, Abdülhamid II, Sultan of the Empire of Osman and Caliph of Islam, expresses his desire that peace and security for all nations be bestowed upon the world.

As such the Sultan asks that our sovereignty over Egypt is respected by all parties as the necessary forces are prepared to restore Ottoman rule in that province.

With regard to the island of Crete, it is a province that the Sultan is reluctant to see leave the empire. Given that a sizable portion of the population wishes for a union with the Kingdom of Greece, His Highness is willing to let the island go provided that Ottoman sovereignty is recognized over Egypt.

To the Kingdom of Italy, the Sultan backs any future attempt to establish Italian rule over the Empire of Abyssinia provided that Italy guarantees to not interfere with Ottoman rule over the provinces of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in Africa.

Finally, His Highness is eager to establish a firm, working relationship with the West, with the hope that it will lead to a modern Ottoman state that presents a lucrative market for Western goods.

Sorry folks, was busy.

USA, September 1905:



The US, being distant to the flashpoints of this globe, have chosen to isolate themselves from the politics of our overseas neighbors.

The only demand the US have is that no foreign power continue expanding in the Americas, other than that we will not get involved.

We would also like to advise others to keep all naval chokepoints open, lest free trade be impeded.

Immigration will soon make the US the most populous nation on the planet, and first festivals to celebrate strength through diversity have been prepared and will soon be expected to sweep across the major metropoles of our young nation.

Entente - Sep 1905



Evelyn Baring, Earl of Cromer represents since 11 September 1883
as British Consuls General the British interests in Egypt and
supports in this function the Khediven Abbas II. since 1892

A military intervension on the part of the Osmani realm against
its own Vasallen would place probably even the Hamidi massacres
of 1894/96 at it cruelty into the shade.

The only reason would be to brake British Empire control of the
Suez channel.

Abduelhamid II since the Hamidi massacres in the European public
is anyway already called the "bloody sultan" should a such step
very well consider itself. The osmanische Sultan should rather
worry about the domestic problems of its realm and adapt
economics and infrastructure to western condition kind instead

Because this tendency will prevent the British Empire under all
circumstances.


thank bablefish for the great translation

Sept 1905

The Italian monarchy enjoyed popular support for decades. Foreigners noted how even as late as the 1940s newsreel images of King Victor Emmanuel and his strikingly beautiful Queen evoked applause, sometimes cheering, when played in cinemas, in contrast to the hostile silence shown toward images of Fascist leaders
