Another IMPERIALISM 1870

[Eivind IV]

The artilley shells that were heard around the globe
After a long siege of Baghdad, British forces finally started the bombardement of the city. The bombardment was followed up by British forces who secured the city and raised the Union Jack.

Soon after the succefull capturing of the crown jewel, the German, Russian and French ambassadors sent a joint statement for a declaration of war against the British Empire. This came as a shock on PM Kobra who brought it up to the Upper House. The Upper house rejected the declaration and Eivind was forced to dismantle the Parliment with the help of his loyal army.

German losses:
1 Gunboat in the Med.
1 Steam Yacht, carrying 3 units
One division of 4 units west of Constantinople
One division of 4 units east of Consatantinople

(* Mecca captured )

Every major port and canal around the globe has been blocked by British War ships. Again, I am really sorry that negotiating didn't give any results

[Eivind IV]

It has just come to my attention that France never responded to the ultimatum. But I asumed that France was a part of the evil Continental Alliance and they were therefor punished alongside Germany and Russia.

[Darius871]

It is now obvious that Great Britain had no hope for peace, as she not only attacked Baghdad, but suddenly and deliberately slaughtered our troops all around the globe.

Even more disgusting, France has not even made a commitment to the German ultimatum. Somehow Britain clearly attacked them anyway, for no reason other than aggression. It is obvious she is just using this situation as a pathetic excuse to conquer in all directions.

That's funny, I don't seem to recall ordering my ambassador to do anything like this, and I'm sure Germany and France would say the same thing. But it shouldn't surprise us that a Prime Minister who attacks his own Parliament would lie of such things to cover up his illegal first attack.

Again, I am really sorry that negotiating didn't give any results

Well the brave British PM should be given an award for patience after enduring "negotiations" (In which he just reiterated his ill-conceived point again and again) for FOUR WHOLE DAYS before attacking his neighbors.

Rest assured Prime Minister, the Russian Republic and her courageous allies in France and Germany will see to it that dusk is at last coming to the British Empire.

[Eivind IV]

I can understand that the Russians and Germans can twist this situation around in their favour, who has rejected every reasonable proposals for a new border in the Middle East and peace on earth.

We are not the agressors here, we are merely protecting ouselves. If we hadn't attacked Continental targets this month, the Continentals would have struck on Britain instead.

The United States of America is now officially declaring territories around the globe that it has intentions to add to the American Empire. The United States has intentions for the following areas and will NOT tolerate foreign expansion into these areas:

Abyssinia -> Addis Ababa
Somalia -> Mogadishu
the Americas ->all cities are part of the American sphere of influence per the Monroe doctrine as mentioned earlier
Siam -> Bangkok
China -> Tsingtao (only this port city, won't take anything else)

[Darius871]

Germany accepts all of the United States' claims, and I'm assuming our allies will. We have no desire to get on America's bad side in trying times like these.


However I highly doubt that the British will accept American domination of ALL Latin American cities. Hopefully there's a conflict brewing.

[FiGu]

the Americas ->all cities are part of the American sphere of influence per the Monroe doctrine as mentioned earlier

Are you going for whole South America too??? i wont accept that at least
Like USA in Control of the whole American world? pah! better change to communism soon

[JamesJKirk]

Russia on the Attack!
Rebounding from the defeat dealt to the noble Russian Navy by the British aggressors, Russian ships destroyed the British war fleet in the Aegean. The Russian economy is currently being geared to war footing, and unlike the barbaric British, the civilized Russian people are enthusiastically supporting their nation to make a bloody coup unnecessary.

President Kurkov, fresh from an emergency summit with Chancellor Bismarck, delivered an address to the Duma today condemning British belligerence and expressing unwavering support to the armed forces of Russia and those of our Continental allies. He said that this war represents the conflict of two ideals, the antiquated notions of statism and making war arbitrarily, and that of limited government, free trade on the open seas and making war only when it serves a state's strategic or economic interests.

In his speech, Kurkov also noted that he accepted the American territorial claims without reservations, and his hope that the US would join our worthy cause against the decadent British, as he is sure Canada is a thorn in America's side.

Here's the civdip file, Darius

[Dr. Nick]

Japan will not tolerate any American encroachment in Asia.

[Darius871]

File?

[EmuGod]

The United States will not tolerate any foreign expansion in ANY of the Americas, both north and south. These areas are under our sphere of influence and we need not occupy them for that to be so. France has no choice in the matter. You cannot hope to defeat the United States in this matter. If you persist in this attempt to further your territory in the western hemisphere, you will feel the full power of American industrial and military might. Without your allies to back you up, you have no chance of winning a war against the United States.

[Dr. Nick]

Japan has declared its strict neutrality in this affair. Japan hopes that our neutrality will be respected by all combattants. We also request that the Panama and Suez canals be maintained open for the shipping of commercial goods of all nations as well.

Japan also hopes that the other countries will respect our trade ships as they return and arrive in the Mediterranean and North Sea.

Japan also hopes that this situation may be ammended soon, and would like to propose a peace conference to iron out differences.

And maybe I should attach the file...
