The Upcoming World (AH 1950, OOC/CLOSED)

[Sanabel]

I'm thinking that realistically, the Republic could probably manage only one or two colonies, as they wold probably need a lot of effort on the peninsula. And Morocco was very important to the falangist cause, without it they would've lost.

I'm thinking you guys could have Angola(revolutionaries join your cause there), and maybe Equatorial Africa?

How about I have Angola, you have all other colonies but I have the area in the map including Seville? If not, then I will have Angola and Equatorial Africa.
I understand your point about Morocco.

I'd rather not give up Sevilla....but you can have it.

Especially since I'm going to school and need ya to request a canon change to Waz.

Thanks Nicki.

Canon change?
I don't mind if you want Seville, though.

I'll take it then. You take Equatorial Africa.

Like a plot/backstory change. Though I dont know if this is major enough for that.

I'm thinking:

Republicans assassinate Franco and regain more land in Spain, probably in '37. Mussolini and Hitler pressure Salazar into intervening. So he does. He helps the Nationalists secure land in Spain and their colonies, and makes the land into a Portuguese protectorate until Spain can be reconquista'd. Many right wingers evac to the Nationalist controlled lands. Salazar soon builds up his control over the land, and they become integrated into Portugal. They start a joint government, and the rest is history.

Okay. Did Spain or Portugal control Equatorial Africa at the time?

Seems fine. Maybe the Republicans weren't as fractured and a revolution happened in Angola and Equatorial Africa to join with the progressive Republican Spain.

[Gyrenaica]

Damn. I knew I should have made china stay commie. Too late to change.

@Soviets: in my history, the commie party was crushed before it gained support. Mao was assassinated early on, and so civil war never happened.

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

Finland SSR, I plan on Finland being Commie. This also means no Winter War. Please confirm/shoot down.

[Finland SSR]

A communist Finland, assuming a Red victory at the Finnish Civil War, would have gotten absorbed by the Soviet Union near instantly.

Irrelevant to propaganda. Doesn't your history say that you only crushed Mao in 1936 or something? We have a communist China rebel group anyway.

Oh, you edited it. Still, we have propaganda.

[Lauranienne]

Just a question, but would the 1948 Arab-Israeli War still taken place?

[Alistan]

Just a question, but would the 1948 Arab-Israeli War still taken place?

Nope, because the Kingdom of Egypt and other Arab states are defeated.

So, Israel is there and didn't need to fight to get independence? Would this also mean I'd control 'Palestine'

[Arvenia]

Reserve me for the Brazilian Empire (Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Peruvian Loreto Region).

[Finland SSR]

Reserve me for the Brazilian Empire (Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Loreto Region, Bolivia and Brazilian Antarctic Territory).

>Brazilian Antarctic Territory

lolwut

Also, how many things are you going to reserve? I think this is your third reservation or something.

Well I planned on Finland being a buffer state between the Soviets and democratic Scandinavia.

lolwut

Yes! I was going to be Spain and later Sweden, now I want to be Brazil run by Getulio Vargas. Also, if you talk about the Brazilian territory in Antarctica, it is called the Brazilian Antarctica.

You couldn't be Spain anyway - it was already claimed.

Also, this is god damn 1950. No Antarctica before 1959.

I replaced that with the Loreto Region in Peru. Long live VARGAS!!!!!!

[Lunas Legion]

China guy, would it be ok if I did warlord remnants in places like Yunnan?

[Lauranienne]

I'm guessing Israel still controls 'Palestine' in this timeline

It was Spanish.

Sounds good! I wonder how our relations will be? We will be pretty falangist.

Possibly like West and East Germany.
I wonder how I can handle the difference ideologies. The system will be republican socialism but maybe some areas will be more communist and Catalonia and Aragon more anarchist.

Reserve me for the Brazilian Empire (Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Peruvian Loreto Region).

I wait for my acceptance!
