AWWA Part III-The Great War(OOC-Now Closed)

[Bojikami]

Following the Great War, Ukraine-Romania will establish a pan-slavic alliance.

[Shrillland]

Now, I'm thinking that once the New Orleans conference ends, that will be the end of Part 3. Part 4 will start immediately afterwards and be called "Yesterday, Today, and Forever."

[Ruridova]

Following the Great War, Ukraine-Romania will establish a pan-slavic alliance.

Yugoslavia, Galicia(and later Poland), and Czechoslovakia will join.

Russia won't because it hates Ukraine-Romania. Until 1991, when the Republicans join because the Imperials didn't.

[Ruridova]

Golda Meir will be one of Rum's most ardent anti-Zionists, same with Benjamin Netanyahu.

- Golda Meir is not Mizrahi(Middle Eastern). She was born in Kyiv and was Ashkenazi. If she's not a Zionist, there is no logical reason for her to move to Rum. It would be more feasible for her to become some sort of Ukrainian politician if she's anti-Zionist, seeing that she was born in Kyiv, and that without Zionism, she has no reason to move to Israel. And in her case, Boji could claim her at any time, because she's born a Ukranian citizen.
- Binyamin Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv- but he is not Mizrahi. His parents were both immigrants and Zionists(meaning he presumably would be raised as a Zionist). His father, Benzion Mileikowsky Netanyahu, was a Polish Sephardic Jew and Zionist activist(born in Warsaw, which makes him mine) who was sort of infamous for his harsh view on Palestinians and other Arabs and Muslims- many attribute Bibi's own harshness towards Benzion's influence over Bibi. His mother, Tzila Segal, was Mizrahi(so she is yours); she was less Zionist, but she was still definently Zionist. So if my understanding of Rum's relationships with Zionists is correct, Benzion- if he comes to Rum- is going to be expelled, jailed, or killed(if he comes as part of the uprising). That means that he is not likely to meet Tzila, which means they won't get married and have children. And if Benzion isn't Zionist, he won't have any reason to go to Rum, meaning he won't meet Tzila, meaning no marriage and children. Meaning it's more likely that Binyamin Netanyahu won't even exist ATL.

There is simply no feasible or reasonable way for Golda Meir and Binyamin Netanyahu to wind up in Rum(and, in Bibi's case, be alive at all) if a Zionist state of Israel does not exist. If Golda Meir is anti-Zionist, she stays in Ukraine. If Benzion Netanyahu is anti-Zionist, or if an anti-Zionist Rum controls the Holy Land, Binyamin Netanyahu will never be born.

[Ruridova]

Would it ban the book at any point?

Probably not. They'd allow it's circulation, but they would crack down on Zionist sentiment.

I just read what the book entails, yeah, it's going to be banned.

No surprise.

Could foreign Jews be arrested for being Zionist? Because I could see that causing some serious trouble in terms of international relations.

Only if they do something illegal, like advocate the overthrow of the Empire, commit larsony, murder, assault, etc. etc -- Public support of Zionism is considered sedition and most foreigners who are arrested for are usually deported back to their home countries. Though for a period after the Zionist Revolt, the Rumite Empire put a suspension of Jewish immigration or pilgrimage into Palestine until the early 1960s, only repealed at Golda Meir's insistence as Grand Vizier.

So as long as they shut up and pretend to be someone else, they'll be fine. Got it.

If Rum persecutes people for being Zionist, it might be brought up as some sort of human rights issue on the global stage. Arresting people and charging them with felonies for thinking different is generally frowned upon in the modern era.

The Jews of Rum don't like Zionism because they see it as other cultural varieties of Jews trying to impose their will on land that isn't theirs. They dislike Zionists because they feel that Zionists want to destroy their prosperity, as Jews have almost no restrictions imposed upon them. The Rumite Jews who had lived there for generations were extremely angry after the Zionist Revolt and made up about 80% of the people who committed violence against Jews in the aftermath. Rumite Jews were angry at foreign Jews for coming in and wrecking up their place in society, as now the public was more suspicious of Jews for Zionist sympathies.

Rumite Jews would likely be viewed as traitors to Judaism taking the side of anti-Semites, seeing that they support the Jewish people continuing to be a Diaspora.

So you'd see Jewish mobs robbing and attacking Zionists.

Would these mobs be charged with crimes? You know, assault, battery, murder, so forth?

From 1964 to the early 1990s, Rum had a strict policy of immigration, everybody was thoroughly checked, as they didn't want a Zionist Revolt nor did they want another 1964 Mecca.

Sensible enough.

Major published works of note in the RP including some not yet published ICly

Georg von Licht / Dzhordzh fon Likht

Karl Eichemann, the protagonist, is sent to end the war and bring peace; however, catastrophe kills Eichemann and restarts the feud.

2. Neither Victory Nor Peace
The empires of Jiaozhande and Hakuchi, led by the shortsighted monarchs Kangsong and Tennohito, turn a war of words and baseless accusations into a devastating continent-wide conflict that leads to millions of deaths, mass rebellions, and ultimately their own deposition. The novel was published as a criticism of escalating tensions between China and Japan.

3. Blessed are the Persecuted
Jewish German Yaakov Fiegenbaum and his family live in a defeated 1930s Germany that turns to anti-Semitic politicians Ludwig Ernst and Johannes Heisenberg, who initiate ever-increasing persecutions against German Jews. The book chronicles Yaakov and his family trying to live through the persecution.

After the anti-Semites are deposed, the two try to rebuild their lives.

4. With Liberty and Justice For All
Black Confederate Miriam Robinson unintentionally becomes the leader of the equal rights movement in the CSA, but she gladly accepts the role, leading strikes and marches that force the Confederate government to grant equal rights to all citizens and end segregation. Surviving assassination attempts, she is elected President by a sweeping majority in 1964, cementing the progress made by the civil rights movement.

5. The Miserable Ones
Jan Janowski, a redeemed criminal who has broken his parole, must try to avoid the relentless Eugen Marschall, who seeks to put him back in chains. Meanwhile, Jan's adopted daughter Andzelika falls in love with Polish revolutionary Maksymilian Mysliwski- who is torn between his love Andzelika and his fellow revolutionaries Ostromir Wieczeslawski and Szymon Topolski. The revolutionaries rebel, but most die in the German response- though Janowski manages to save Maksymilian and bring him to Andzelika. Marschall, realizing that Janowski is indeed redeemed, kills himself; Janowski also dies shortly thereafter.

6. Vox Populi
Valentin Pushilin, head of one of the subdivisions of the Union of Federative Unified Republics, a Russia without a Tsar, works for the country's repressive dictatorship, established 80 years earlier in the 1910s. When a dispute about reform in the country leads to a hardliner coup against the country's reformist leader, Pushilin heeds the voice of the people and demands that the UFUR be done away with and replaced with numerous democratic states- a vision that ultimately comes true.

Canadian intelligence worker Edward Harper realizes that the Royal Intelligence Agency of Canada is breaking Canadian privacy laws with its spying program, and decided to steal classified documents and leak them to the press. Fleeing to the Confederacy, he begins releasing the documents, which reveal Canadian spying at home and abroad. The news spreads like wildfire, and he is variously declared a hero and a traitor as a global debate on surveillance begins. The book ends with the RIA's head telling the press that Harper has only released a tiny fraction of the data he took.

Muhammad Abbas

1. The Crescent and the Star

Chodren Dawa

1. The Effects of Leftism
The book begins in a totally uniform world- however, we soon learn that the hero, known only as Equality, has a hard time fitting in.

2. Obscurity
Architect Wei Nianqing and his colleague Se Jidu face difficulties as they lose out to architects better at sweet-talking clients. However, people eventually turn to Wei and Se's more inspired and modern architecture. Se turns on Wei and attempts to destroy his empire and kill him; ultimately, though, Wei comes out on top.

3. The East is Red
In Chodren Dawa's first play, she describes an alternate future where China is not as fortunate as it was. In several wars over opium and rebellions over everything the emperor does, China grows steadily weaker and more divided before having the monarchy overthrown and a period of total warlordism break out. As the period of warlordism ends, a period of ideological warfare breaks out(supported by the Japanese, who invade and establish various puppets). Ultimately, China winds up under a group of dictatorial rulers who must be defeated by the government-in-exile of China's brief period of democracy. After the return of peace and liberty to the country, it is unified, strong, and happy at last.

4. The Asian Manifesto
Chodren Dawa here outlines her plans for the creation of a libertarian Asian Union, dominated by China. Though initially weak, this Asian Union would grow stronger and stronger as time passed, eventually uniting Asia under one banner once and for all.

---

Li Xiagong

1. The Final Solution
In the most hated book ever written, Li Xiagong calls for the total extermination of 'Japonic races', declaring them to be inferior to 'Sinic' races. He also calls for the Chinese Empire to grow significantly, to the point where it spans the entire Orient.

---

Tamerlan Jaharnaev

1. The Autumn of Empires (play)
Based on Karl Jung's book, this play adaptation replaced Dong with Vostok(an anti-Russian move, which in unsurprising given that Jaharnaev was Caucasian). The ending is also modified: Alojzy's brother Wladyslaw finally finishes his brother's dream and guarantees Ojczyzna's independence.

Chaimas Galvanauskas

1. The Hope
Yitzhak Katsav, a Sephardi Jew living in al-Mayiquh, becomes a Zionist after deciding to get more in touch with his Jewish heritage. He becomes the leader of a Zionist group, which quickly becomes the global Zionist World Congress, boasting seven million members across the world. He goes before the League of Nations, and gives a lengthy, impassioned speech, pleading for the League to mandate the creation of a State of Israel in Rumite land, telling them that the only way for the long-persecuted Jews to ever know liberty and peace is to be returned to their homeland. The League, with the exception of the Rumites, agrees, and Katsav becomes leader of the new country. Within two years of Israel's creation, however, Rum invades, seeking to exterminate the Jews and reincorporate the territory. The international response is swift and harsh, and soon, the Rumites have been driven out of Israel and are fighting for their lives. Rum is divided up between its various ethnic groups, with the various new nations agreeing to work together in peace and cooperation to bring about a future where all people can life happy lives.

---

Emmanuel Carasso

1. The Lies of Zionism
Penned as a response to the growth of Zionism among most of the world's Jews, Greek Jew Emmanuel Carasso's "truth against Zionism" treatise claims that the global Zionist movement had no legitimate grounds for seeking the return of the Holy Land to Jewish hands. Carasso praises Rum's just and fair rule of the Holy Land, and says that it belongs to Christians and Muslims as much as it does to Jews.

---

Unspecified / Unknown Author

Now, I'm thinking that once the New Orleans conference ends, that will be the end of Part 3. Part 4 will start immediately afterwards and be called "Yesterday, Today, and Forever."

Okay. What year then?

[Unicario]

Golda Meir will be one of Rum's most ardent anti-Zionists, same with Benjamin Netanyahu.

- Golda Meir is not Mizrahi(Middle Eastern). She was born in Kyiv and was Ashkenazi. If she's not a Zionist, there is no logical reason for her to move to Rum. It would be more feasible for her to become some sort of Ukrainian politician if she's anti-Zionist, seeing that she was born in Kyiv, and that without Zionism, she has no reason to move to Israel. And in her case, Boji could claim her at any time, because she's born a Ukranian citizen.
- Binyamin Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv- but he is not Mizrahi. His parents were both immigrants and Zionists(meaning he presumably would be raised as a Zionist). His father, Benzion Mileikowsky Netanyahu, was a Polish Sephardic Jew and Zionist activist(born in Warsaw, which makes him mine) who was sort of infamous for his harsh view on Palestinians and other Arabs and Muslims- many attribute Bibi's own harshness towards Benzion's influence over Bibi. His mother, Tzila Segal, was Mizrahi(so she is yours); she was less Zionist, but she was still definently Zionist. So if my understanding of Rum's relationships with Zionists is correct, Benzion- if he comes to Rum- is going to be expelled, jailed, or killed(if he comes as part of the uprising). That means that he is not likely to meet Tzila, which means they won't get married and have children. And if Benzion isn't Zionist, he won't have any reason to go to Rum, meaning he won't meet Tzila, meaning no marriage and children. Meaning it's more likely that Binyamin Netanyahu won't even exist ATL.

There is simply no feasible or reasonable way for Golda Meir and Binyamin Netanyahu to wind up in Rum(and, in Bibi's case, be alive at all) if a Zionist state of Israel does not exist. If Golda Meir is anti-Zionist, she stays in Ukraine. If Benzion Netanyahu is anti-Zionist, or if an anti-Zionist Rum controls the Holy Land, Binyamin Netanyahu will never be born.

It was already established that I got Meir and Netanyahu. Come on, man. Meir's movement to Rum was more on hand that her husband was a Zionist and she wasn't, and she ended up being permitted to stay behind and her marriage fell apart. She ended up getting involved in politics in Rum as a Jewish person to make their voice known without resorting to Zionism. There was this whole irony that the Zionists were crying like babies during the 1940s-1970s when the leader of Rum was a Jew. I'll give up Netanhayu since that's fine. Meir though, if Boji doesn't object, I'm taking her!

Anyway -- ZWC will be prosecuted with extreme prejudice, and when they try to mount the 1948-1953 Zionist Revolution, they'll be grinded into mincemeat by the Rum Army.

Fortunately, Bibi never plays a part in my country besides being a feared assassin. Moving on.

After the 1960s, Rum would no longer prosecute Zionists for being Zionists, they'd make it more like, trying to commit sedition by trying to cause revolution, or other things, with the intent of the State of Israel being illegal. Zionist views would be tolerated to an extent.

Meir though, if Boji doesn't object, I'm taking her!

It would make sense for Benzion to die as a Zionist fighting against Rum, so that's probably going to be his fate at the end of this.

Golda Meir is Boji's decision.

Anyway -- ZWC will be prosecuted with extreme prejudice, and when they try to mount the 1948-1953 Zionist Revolution, they'll be grinded into mincemeat by the Rum Army.

Prosecuted? In the Rumite courts? Or, when it comes around, the ICC? Is either likely to succeed?

Also worth noting that the ZWC officially condemns the Zionists who go to fight in the rebellion, and members who do are like to be suspended or expelled. Far from mounting the rebellion, they view it as a disgrace to the Zionist cause and the actions of terrorists and extremists. The ZWC is going to be an organization seeking the peaceful return of the Holy Land to the Jews, and a massive rebellion is most certainly not peaceful. Some fringe parties are likely to call them heroes, but the mainline parties and the ZWC as a whole will not condone violent acts in the name of Israel.

It goes without saying that there will be subcategories of Zionism. Religious and Secular Zionism, Cultural and Political Zionism- and, ATL if not OTL, Diplomatic and Militant Zionism. The parties of the ZWC will represent these varying types of Zionism, in addition to the political spectrum. The ZWC is also serving as a Jewish heritage service- teaching kids the history of the Jews and the Hebrew language(which is likely to be used among Jews and the WZC as a common tongue). It might also begin programs to help Jews- programs for the unemployed or homeless or jobless, daycare services, so on and so forth. There's also likely to be a small private security force, to make sure that Rum doesn't try to kill members, and also to be 'deployed' to protect Jews in states that are openly hostile to them.

After the 1960s, Rum would no longer prosecute Zionists for being Zionists, they'd make it more like, trying to commit sedition by trying to cause revolution, or other things, with the intent of the State of Israel being illegal. Zionist views would be tolerated to an extent.

Ok.

[Unicario]

There's also likely to be a small private security force, to make sure that Rum doesn't try to kill members, and also to be 'deployed' to protect Jews in states that are openly hostile to them...

Rum would refuse them entry into the country as they are an armed paramilitary force; not even because they represent Zionism.

[Unicario]

For the sake of diplomacy, Iulia II / Aysun has invited the leader of the ZWC to Ithaca, as well as the leader of Rum's Jewish League for a discussion. Also, the Jerusalem government (three Governors that rule over the city of Jerusalem proper) have assembled and proposed a plan to build a replica of the Old Temple in a different area of Jerusalem.

[Unicario]

Now, I'm thinking that once the New Orleans conference ends, that will be the end of Part 3. Part 4 will start immediately afterwards and be called "Yesterday, Today, and Forever."

Okay. What year then?

Maybe the early 1930s?

I think the ZWC would understand that, and respect the decision. It's highly unlikely they would be sent to Rum, anyways.

For the sake of diplomacy, Iulia II / Aysun has invited the leader of the ZWC to Ithaca, as well as the leader of Rum's Jewish League for a discussion. Also, the Jerusalem government (three Governors that rule over the city of Jerusalem proper) have assembled and proposed a plan to build a replica of the Old Temple in a different area of Jerusalem.

So I suppose the ZWC will have to hurry up and elect a President and a Knesset, so that the President and Speaker positions can be filled for the Ithaca meeting.

Will do. I have to do something IRL right now, but I'll post as soon as I can.

If you're going to invite the President of the ZWC, you might have to drop the ban on Chaimas Galvanauskas entering the country, at least for a bit, because I plan for him to be elected as an independent.

That was actually who I intended to invite! Don't worry about the "persona non grata" thing. Since he is in the company of the Calipha/Empress, he won't be accosted. But she's revoked it anyway.

Now, I'm thinking that once the New Orleans conference ends, that will be the end of Part 3. Part 4 will start immediately afterwards and be called "Yesterday, Today, and Forever."

And part IV is the last part right? Because were not going to be doing anymore timeskips after this?

Wouldn't say last, just the last one with a timeskip.

I'm going to estimate a world population of about 25 million Jews in ATL 2014 under the "core Jewish" definition, since the Holocaust never occurred and there were about 17 million Jews beforehand OTL(meaning that there are more Jews who can have more children meaning there are even more Jews). This means there will be about 30 million members of the "expanded Jewish" population(those with Jewish parents or spouses, children living with Jewish step parents, etc.).

The League, with the exception of the Rumites, agrees, and Katsav becomes leader of the new country. Within two years of Israel's creation, however, Rum invades, seeking to exterminate the Jews and reincorporate the territory. The international response is swift and harsh, and soon, the Rumites have been driven out of Israel and are fighting for their lives.

Emmanuel Carasso

1. The Lies of Zionism
Penned as a response to the growth of Zionism among most of the world's Jews, Greek Jew Emmanuel Carasso's "truth against Zionism" treatise claims that the global Zionist movement had no legitimate grounds for seeking the return of the Holy Land to Jewish hands. Carasso praises Rum's just and fair rule of the Holy Land, and says that it belongs to Christians and Muslims as much as it does to Jews.

2. A New Zion
A follow-up to his own work, The Lies of Zionism, Carasso floats the idea of creating a new Israel in Africa, carving out land from a European or Asian colony and creating a Jewish state. He says in the book that it would satiate the Zionist desire for a Jewish homeland, and allow for Rum to retain it's own territorial integrity. Proposed lands are Japanese Mozambique, British Rhodesia and Chinese Madagascar but he says that "almost anywhere with fertile land would do wonderfully."

Chaimas Galvanauskas / Hayim ben Tziyon

1. The Hope
Yitzhak Katsav, a Sephardi Jew living in al-Mayiquh, becomes the leader of a Zionist group which quickly becomes the international Zionist World Congress. He goes before the League of Nations, and gives an impassioned speech, pleading for the League to return Israel to the Jews, telling them that the only way for the long-persecuted Jews to ever know liberty and peace is to return home. The League agrees, and Katsav becomes leader of the new country. Within two years of Israel's creation, however, Rum invades, seeking to exterminate the Jews and reincorporate the territory. The international response is swift and harsh, and soon, Rum is divided up between its various ethnic groups, with the various new nations agreeing to work together in peace and cooperation to bring about a future where all people can life happy lives.

2. No Place Like Home
By now something of a formal rival to Carasso- with Galvanauskas representing the Zionists and Carasso the anti-Zionists- Galvanauskas refutes Carasso's proposals for the creation of a new Jewish state in Africa, as well as attempts by Russia to do the same with their Jewish Autonomous Oblast. Galvanauskas claims that no place but the Promised Land of Israel could ever serve as a true home for the Jews, and compares Carasso's proposal to the deportation of Native Americans to reservations by Canada and the Confederacy.

Emmanuel Carasso

1. The Lies of Zionism
Penned as a response to the growth of Zionism among most of the world's Jews, Greek Jew Emmanuel Carasso's "truth against Zionism" treatise claims that the global Zionist movement had no legitimate grounds for seeking the return of the Holy Land to Jewish hands. Carasso praises Rum's just and fair rule of the Holy Land, and says that it belongs to Christians and Muslims as much as it does to Jews.

2. A New Zion
A follow-up to his own work, The Lies of Zionism, Carasso floats the idea of creating a new Israel in Africa, carving out land from a European or Asian colony and creating a Jewish state. He says in the book that it would satiate the Zionist desire for a Jewish homeland, and allow for Rum to retain it's own territorial integrity. Proposed lands are Japanese Mozambique, British Rhodesia and Chinese Madagascar but he says that "almost anywhere with fertile land would do wonderfully."

Footage of the 1979 Rose Revolution

[Bojikami]

I have finally decided that under Mussolini, there would be no genocide of the Jews or any ethnic minority. Mussolini would simply isolate these groups in remote areas within Italy until they assimilated into Latin culture.

Jews would be exiled to the Pontine Islands, the Germans would be isolated in South Tyrol, and Hebrew, German, and French would be banned from use for official documents.
