GDNES2 - The Age of War

[gooberboob]

To britain: Our comments are based on threats of the United State of British naval backing, until they realize that England will not fight the war for them, we cannot rest at ease.

Concerning Aruba: Cuban agents (not troops) coerced the citizens to join Cuba, Cuba has not declared formal war on the Netherlands, rather they are acting within the guidlines of the Cuban constitution. However, should france get extremely uppity about a small carribean island, Cuba will grant the isle a choice of popular sovereignty, and let the people decide their own fate. Surely a democratic nation such as france and/or the Netherlands can agree to this.

To Venezuela:
If you want Ecuador, we won't stop you.

To United States:
Please accept the peace deal on the table now. End this pointless war that goes no were and is destroying your country. Rebuild your nation, dont destroy it.

Events: July 1911

- Revolution in China:
Following a mutiny by the garrison at Hankow, a widespread army revolt breaks out. Chaos prevails as provincial governors declare independence. An indecisive war between loyalists and rebels leads to an armistice, and the republic of the United States of China is proclaimed, under the leadership of Sun Yat-Sen.

- Roald Amundsen, DANISH explorer, reaches the South Pole

- Elections in France
After the recent development of the situation in the Americas, the French pubblic opinion turned once againto the Hawks party, asking for French support to the American Alliance and force the US to sign peace.
Although the Hawks victory was got only by a small margin of 6%, showing French support for a peace resolution to be find.
Hawks: 53%
Doves: 47%

- Elections in Argentina
After the attack in the Parliament of Buenos Aires, the coalition lead by the Reformist and the Conservativs won by a land slide with well over 60% of the votes, the people of Argentina are asking for law and order to be reinstaured in the country, although the Reformist took the advantage over the Conservatives
The Socialist lost a few votes, due to their friendship with the Marxist.
The current composition of the Congress is:
Reformist: 38%
Conservatives: 30%
Socialist: 16%
Unionist: 10%
Marxist: 6%

- Paesants revolts in Nicaragua
The Paesants in Nicaragua revolted today against the government because of their lack of agrarian reforms.
People are asking for some kind of reforms similar to the ones who took place in Cuba. The Nicaraguan Army could not quells the rebels, and the government is aking for help from the AA (ooc: this was caused by gooberboob's sending of people to spark rebellions in Central America)

- Mexican Revolt
Villa and Zapata's armies did a new attack against the Mexican armies, and managed thanks to the support of the population to defeat the Mexican Army in the battle of Monterrey.
Despite the help from the Ottoman Empire and Italy, it appears that it is too hard to keep the rebels under control.

To: Ottoman
From: Italy
(secret)
It looks like the Mexican rebels have support from all the population, and it seems like our armies are not enough to keep them under control.
I think it could be a good idea to withdraw our support for the current Mexican government and take friendly stances towards the rebels, and maybe help them, that way if the rebels win, they will be friendly toward us.

What do you think?(/secret)

To: US
From: Italy

I'm sorry, but it looks now to us that it is you that is pushing this war, sign cease fire with the AA now.

To: Brazil, Argentina
From: Italy

We applaud your efforts on trying to create a new peace, you have our support on this

British domestic events:

India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are now self-industrializing.

External emphasis has been shifted to:

Malaysia, Burma, Botswana

[Thud]

To Cuba: We find this stance simply intolerable. French intelligence indicates that Aruba is not the only place you have used your spies with abandon. The recent rebellions throughout Central America point to you. We cannot allow this system of subterfuge to continue. When will spying and diplomacy turn to military occupation? France cannot accept either. Thus, we ask that you recognize Dutch soverigenty over Aruba.

OOC: I think Sheep has left. If there's no response within 24 hours I think we should assume this and Giovanni will control the US's diplomacy (unless Jack_www wants it).

The overwhelming majority of the Conservative Coalition has allowed them to pass a law banning being a member of any Marxist or Anarchist group. The Marxists in Congress have been arrested and replaced by the runners-up in their last elections, in most cases current Unionists. Marxists in Southern Bolivia have declared themselves to be in revolt. Troops have been sent to crush the rebellion.

Troops have been sent to crush the rebels in Guatemala, but many of tehm have mutinied and helped the rebels, which were able to successfully capture Guatemala City.

Socialists, some Unionists, and a few Reformist leaders have condemned the banning of Marxism and called for popular protests. They have been threatened with arrest for encouraging riots.

[Giovanni Wine]

Ok civman.. if by 19 PM my time of tomorrow, Sheep doesn't post, it will mean that Sheep has abandoned this NES, and I'll open up the US for everyone to take, and until them will control their diplomacy.

The now-ruling Hawk party has elected a Prime Minister. An relative unknown in the political arena, Crian Vayer, has been elected. The Dove part of Congress expressed reservations about the nomination, and will apparantly have a hard time coorperating with the new leader. In his Inuageral address, the Prime Minister adopted an aggressive stance against America. In his first Executive Order, troops are to be dispatched to the region, obtensibly to pressure America in capitulation. Some of the more radical members of Congress are suggesting that the treaty the American government negotiated with Napoleon for the purchase of the Lousiana territory is illegal, and that France has a right to occupy it. Ominously, the first troops dispatced are those to Florida and New Orleans, to assist the AA in their efforts.

To AA-
We're with you.
To AA-(secret)
We're with you, even if you want to push for territory.

To Pancho Villa (secret):
We applaud your fight for the poor people. If you need any aid, short of actually sending troops, just ask.

[gooberboob]

To all American States (secret): We must take a non-imperialist stance if our nations are to stand!! I am making a stand against the Dutch occupation of Latin American territory. Cuban Democracy is Latin Democracy, a Democracy which is strong and powerful, a democracy which doesn't need major revolutions three times a century to establish, it is a Democracy dedicated to the will of the people, and the people of Aruba wish to share in this power.

To France: Cuban Democracy is Latin Democracy, a Democracy which is strong and powerful, a democracy which doesn't need major revolutions three times a century to establish, it is a Democracy dedicated to the will of the people, and the people of Aruba wish to share in this power.

To Nicaragua: Pledge a MPP with Cuba, and Cuba will aid in the construction of a democratic government in Nicaragua. ((ooc: Cuban propagandaists are still in the area))

To Pancho and the Rebels in Mexico: Don't allow yourself to become a slave to the European powers, American states must band together if we are to achieve global respect. Cuba offers more aid to your forces for a pledge of America first allegiance
