1848 A World of Revolution IC

[World Anarchic Union]

The year is 1848. Revolutions across Europe and the world are planned with the power balance being upset and irrational over the past decades. The French Revolution was entirely successful and remains until this age with local councils having the power after executing King Louis XVI and his wife. With this success,soon, other revolutions were created in the Balkans, Russia, China, Japan and other parts of the world. France is a notable presence in this age as it has obtained large parts of Spain in the north, mainly Andorra, Catalonia, Aragon, Navarra. This sparked a revolution in Spain and Portugal creating the Iberian Revolutionary Council, an ally to the French Revolutionary Republic. Ireland had another revolution creating the Irish Revolutionary Republic in 1838. Now with numerous revolutions planned, there exist two sides:
The Revolutionary Alliance- France, Iberia, Ireland, numerous groups plannng revolutions
The Holy Alliance- Britain, Russia, other kingdoms in Europe and Asia
Which side will you be on?

FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY REPUBLIC

The year is 1848. France has enjoyed growth, prosperity and democracy in the last 40 years. The people are free from any monarch and decisions are made by local councils and the National Assembly whose president and Head of State is Louis Charles Delescluze. The tricolour is the worldwide symbol of resistance and revolution in this age.
After the French Revolution and the end of Robespierre's reign, ere came prosperity in France. Revolutiinary ideas were spread in Europe and managed to cause revolutions in multiple parts of the world, like Latin America with the guidance of Simon Bolivar. The Spanish Revolution happened in 1806 in multiple parts of Spain and eventually started in Portugal as well. General Napoleon Bonaparte in an attempt to assist the Spanish Revolution and gain land for France declared war on Spain and eventually defeated it because of the turmoil they were facing. France and the Spanish Revolutionaries agreed that France should receive Andorra, Catalonia, Navarra and Aragon and the Iberian Revolutionary Republic the rest of Iberia.
Napoleon soon managed to create a revolution in Belgium and incorporate it as a part of the French Revolutionary Republic, while also assisting Simon Bolivar.
An Irish Revolution happened as well with Ireland becoming a Revoltuionary Republic. Soon, Italy followed suit.
Russia and the UK with other countries that advocated imperialism and had monarchs created the Holy Alliance which would be in opposition of the Revolutionary Alliance or Revolutionary Council which was created by France and Iberia with Latin American countries, Ireland and Italy joining.
There is turmoil in every part of the world. Revolutions are planned and beginning to be aided by the Revolutionary Council. A new era has begun.

FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY REPUBLIC

The French Revolutionary Republic has increased their military after the success of Napoleon's wars. The French military is a military worth noting in the European continent. A strong enemy of France, democracy and revolutionary principles is the Holy Roman Empire. France has cut all ties with the Holy Roman Empire and has even went to war with Napoleon with the result of Belgium becoming a part of France and introducing to the oppressed land democracy and justice. Both countries denounce each other and tensions are high. There are multiple revolutions planned in secret and France will support each one of them that has the goal of introducing democracy and diminishing the influemce of HRE.
France has invited William the 2nd to Paris to discuss improving relations between the two countries and entering a non-aggression pact and a trade alliance with the Dutch Empire and the Revolutionary Alliance if the Dutch do not enter a military alliance with the Holy Alliance.

Istanbul, Ottoman Empire

Abdulmecid The First was in Topkapi Palace. He was looking at the papers which were about the political campaigns the three newly formed parties were doing so far. Young Turk Party, a Liberal party, had campaigns in Iraq and now they were coming to Anatolia and later to Istanbul. Imperial Party ,a Conservative and Nationalist party , had campaigns in Istanbul and Anatolia so far. It seems that they aren't planning to have campaigns in other areas. And Turkish Workers and Peasants Socialist Party, a Socialist party, had campaigns in all of Turkish Balkans and Syria. It seems like they will either come to Anatolia or go to Jordan.

Abdulmecid got up from his chair. He was expecting the victory of Imperial Party but he didn't want them to rule. He was sure that they will change Patriotism to Nationalism, causing Ottoman Empire to be seen more aggressive possibly. Other two parties were looking friendly towards to France which could be a problem later since most of the neighbours of Ottomans seems to be Monarchist. He felt forced to prevent parties to rule alongside him. He knew those parties were new to politics so they didn't know most of the things about Ottoman Policy and strategy it follows since only him and viziers know about the situation with all the details. For this he had a plan going on in his mind. A plan which would help him to prevent current parties to rule.

He called former Grand Vizier, Mustafa Resid Pasha and talked to him about the topic. Muıstafa was thinking like him but he didn't know what to do like Abdulmecid does. Abdulmecid knew about the new doctrine, Tanzimat(IOTL it was declared in 1839 but it was delayed ITTL because of the wars that happened in the Balkans and Civil War) and wanted it to be declared which seems impossible unless Mustafa becomes the Head of Government. He made Mustafa sign a paper to form another party and said him to find few viziers who will join to the party. He won't be taking place in party to show that he is neutral and to not cause another tension building up inside the Empire.

About few hours later, Mustafa came back to Abdulmecid room to tell him that he found enough viziers and former viziers to start his party. It didn't take much time for them to find the name of the party. It would be called Ottomanist Party. The party would be known as a Radical Party but won't be that Radical at all like Abdulmecid thought. It wouldn't be important that it won't be Radical and won't get elected because of this reason since there was a chance for them to achieve what they want until the next elections come. They will have 5 years after all. Abdulmecid already readied some sort of plan that would allow him and Mustafa to reform and re-stabilize the Ottomans completely in this 5 years. Now only thing left was getting elected...

FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY REPUBLIC

We are glad and a war with Britain shall be avoided unless Britain assaults us or our ally Ireland. If the Dutch Empire has no sides and is neutral, then there is not going to be an issu as we propose a trade alliance and a non-aggression pact between the Dutch Empire and e Revolutionary Alliance. This proposal has two requirements
1)Ireland shall not be provoked to a war by the Dutch Empire in no way and access should be allowed.
2) The Dutch Empire shall not support either side if war breaks out between two or more members of the Revolutionary and the Holy Allaince.

The French Revolutionary Republic would support the building of relations between France and the Ottoman Empire because of the support of the Ottoman Empire to hold elections and in order to have a non-aggression pact with the Revolutionary Alliance and the Ottoman Empire.

we agree to every provision except 1 because Ireland is still a British territory!

[Colonial Rhodesia]

plus the northwestern part of Belgium should go to me while the rest goes to you France

[Colonial Rhodesia]

I warn you my population may be tolerate of political or Cultural or even religious differences but if you declare war against Britain be expecting the Dutch navy to attack and if justified sink your ships on behalf of the Holy Alliance!

[World Anarchic Union]

plus the northwestern part of Belgium should go to me while the rest goes to you France

The people of Belgium decided to join France because of democracy and our national hero, Napoleon Bonaparte made their wishes come true. This happened 30 years ago and to give you a part of now French territory would not sit well with the people of Belgium.
Ireland revolted against cruel British treatment and any attack of the Dutch Empire to Ireland ships or vassals will be considered war.
I thought Netherlands was neutral. If there is a war and you sink French ships then you aren't neutral. If you sink French and British shios then you are.

Tehran, Persia

As was the custom, the great Shah was to give his new years address (Persia having adopted the Gregorian calender in 1935 as a step to Westernise the state). In it, he mentioned the great advancements that have been achieved during his reign, noting that the once small-scale, family-owned farms had been replaced by large, intensive farms and plantations, now dominating the countryside. He praised the progressive policies of his premier, which had greatly raised the standard of living of the average people and whose reforms had saved the state millions. The Shah announced that he had heard the demands of the people and that steps would be taken to eliminate discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, who totalled around half of the population, namely that against Arabs and Turks. Advice was given to the nobles and representatives of both durbars to not misuse the peoples trust and fight for justice and equality for the people. To the clerics and religious elite, he warned them not to step out of bounds and reminded them that he was the representative of God on Earth, the Commander of the Faithful. They were told to spread the message of peace and truth and not of violence, reminding them that the religion was a mercy to mankind not a tool to subvert and oppress. On foreign policy, the Shah said that neither alliance were beneficial to Persia and that any deal with any foreign power must not threaten the sovereignty of state. On the Ottomans, the age of ceaseless violence with them had come to an end, and that there must be anew policy towards them, welcoming peace and trade with the mighty empire. He ended his speech advising the populace to not dwell too much on their burdens and that the blessings of god to the faithful are innumerable.

France I still agree to the pact but not to turning on my British allies or aid your Revolutionary views after all I am the Netherlands a land of peace and freedom not a Revolutionary Republic and besides when we rebelled against Spain Britain gave us arms and volunteers while France watched as her Spanish counterparts murdered in the name of inquistion thousands of Protestant citizens and yet you want me to go against both you and the Brits that military Suicide!

[Colonial Rhodesia]

from the Netherlands to Britain-I have entered in a pact with France however should anything go wrong can you please send for troops and a few naval ships for send supplies and fire support. King William the 2nd of Holland and the Dutch Empire.

[World Anarchic Union]

Netherlands, What I mentioned was simply an example of your obvious non-neutrality. If you say, you are neutral and then threaten to go to war with France if there is a war with Britain then you are not neutral.

To:Persia
From:France
The French Revolutionary Republic would wish to establish good relations with Perisa and sign a non-aggression pact and a trade alliance between our nations. We belive Persia to be a country with much civilisation and history and a great country that has remained powerful after centuries. We await your further response.
With utmost respect,
Louis Charles Delescuze

Stockholm, Sweden, Swedish Empire
Sweden was an empire once again after a war against Russia with help from the UK over Finland. Sweden still relies on the estate society, which is replaced around the world by political parties. Sweden relied on what it relied on during the Great Power Age (1611-1721), world conquest. With relations established with USA, a country in North America, Sweden can get what it needed to finish it's goals. A meeting was held in the Swedish Parliament.

Helsinki, Finland, Swedish Empire
A protest for Finnish independence was held in Helsinki, Finland. Over 200 Finnish citizens protested against Swedish rule over Finland. 400 Swedish soldiers got to the scene and fired muskets at the rioting Finlanders, killing 10 and wounding 150. The protest ended with a bloody massacre.

[Colonial Rhodesia]

from the Netherlands to France- my country's neutrality and pro British tendencies are none of the French governments concern and as a result of your interference in Dutch affair beyond your concern we the people of the Netherlands declare that a State of war exists between the Dutch Empire and the Revolutionary Republic of France with the pact being nullified within 24 hours. yours truly King William the 2nd of Holland and the Dutch Empire.

sir you must be out of touch of reality because a decent sized portion of Belgium has a culture and language that has more in common with the Netherlands by the way this is also known as the province of Flanders and plus Belgium would rather be Independent and able to manage it's own future not one based on the decisions of a Paris bureaucrat who knows only what the Government tell them!
