OP Board
OP: Sveltlana
Vice-OP: Bujahla
Co-OP: The Kingdom of Glitter
RE OP: Alleniana
The aftermath of the Great War of 1913-1919 saw the world a new place, the product of six years of unrestricted warfare across the globe. Trenches still criss-cross the scarred European countryside. Some trenches were turned into mass graves and covered with corpses and dirt. Thousands of miles of minefields and barbed wire stand rusting, wet with the dew of the new morning that never came. Craters now are where once was, for example, a white farmhouse: the oxen are long dead, their powerful muscles gone with the wind. Perhaps there stands a monument on one end of the former battlefield, grim and dead in relation to the youth that fought and died for the sake of empires already on their deathbed. Perhaps there is no monument, but a hole in the ground with an assorted collection of bones.
A man once said that the worst disaster that ever befell Russia was the birth of Lenin, the second worst his death. The Russian Empire ended with the Great War, replaced by a fashionable red star and Marx's hammer and sickle. In the West are the Bolsheviks, sworn to follow Lenin, flying the red flags of revolution. In the Urals is Kolchak, his large volunteer army willing to sacrifice anything to avoid communism. The Reds and the Whites, that is what they are called. Many still believe that both are brothers and that Russia is pink, but now some believe that that is not the case. The Tsar has been forced to abdicate, and the royal family has been exiled from the country, and have taken refuge in Luxembourg, hoping to see the monarchy restored from afar.
In the west, proud France and Italy are also burning with the fires of Revolution: Communists are close to triumph in Italy, with only scant forces left to combat them; France has seen Paris burn twice over the course of three years, both times by her own countrymen. The country of the tricolor is locked into a war that has evolved into Spanish-style Guerilla warfare, with actives spread through the country fighting for either side. The German steamroller has been broken in the Great War; twice were the Russians about to reach Berlin, and twice did the valiant blood of the sons of Germany push them back with cries of Kaiser! Deutschland! The Hapsburg empire is nearing collapse, already there is open rebellion in Hungary, which the broken Austrian army cannot realistically put down without foreign aid. Britain faces the peculiar problem that the British wish to be independent from each other.
