CURRENT DATE: January 3, 1919 - January 22, 1919
IC: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=506244





INTRODUCTION

+ The Great War has devastated Europe. Old precedents, alliances, and whole empires are in shambles. A New Order is taking hold across the globe, and it will be up to you to shape it. Take the threshold of a nation, just beginning the interwar period and lead yourself to domination. Will you fight for your own survival? Or will you fight for the oppressed? Will you embrace the radicalism and extremism that now dominates Europe and Asia? Or will you fight to preserve the old status quo. The choice is yours. Lead to tyranny, or to utopia. In the end, however, we're all trying to make the grasses destroyed by war green once again. This is WTGGG. +


THE LORE
+ The sparks of war had been hashing since the last major war in Europe, and by 1910 they were ready to boil over. The once fledgling Ottoman Empire, conquerors of Constantinople, and the Empire who defeated the Romans, were now in a sharp decline. Dealing with heavy dissatisfaction both externally and internally, Balkan tensions are exploding into all-out war. In France, a bitter opposition to the government headed by radical socialists is taking shape. In Germany, nationalism and expansionism runs rampant. In Russia, the flames of revolution are sparking. In Austria, the ethnic minorities are being pushed to the breaking point. Between now and the outbreak of war in 1914, major events such as the Agadir Crisis will further inflame tensions. +

**ALL IRL HISTORY IS THE SAME**
**NO EVENTS CAN BE ALTERED THAT EFFECT BORDERS OR WORLDWIDE EVENTS**




+ The war is over, and Europe is left in shambles. Empires have fallen, and new hegemonies have risen. In WTGGG, guide the nation of your choice to greatness - or doom it forevermore. +





PLEASE READ

Heyo! Me here. If you're new to RP, here's a coupla tips that ought to help you through this adventure. This is required unless I say otherwise.

How to RP

Well, the title is pretty straightforward. Alright, let's see. Hmmmm.....

Perfect!

Okay. You're a young woman, taking a stroll along your neighborhood street when suddenly, a man pops up behind you! Oh no! He has a gun! Well, most newcomers to RP would usually get stuck on the first sentence. So let's get to the tips.

One of the most frustrating things about RP is how time-consuming it is. Usually, P2TM rps require at least a paragraph or two to properly Rp, and in the OP it usually says "no one-liners". A one-liner would be something like this:

"I hit the man in the face, take his gun, and shoot him dead and then I walk home."

No. Just no. You don't want to do this. In order to right a detailed, nicely-written RP post, it takes a while. Getting a cramp in your hand from typing? Good. Hard work does that. Sure, it might take an hour, but that's the beauty of RP. Learn some patience, and you'll be good to go.


Write out the details you usually wouldn't care about. Did your character accidentally bite their tongue while chewing gum? Write it! Do your shoes have red stripes on them? Awesome! When RPing, you have to incorporate details. Take this bit for example.

"I woke up and got out of bed. I walked into the kitchen and made some scrambled eggs. I ate them. Then I took a shower. Then I got dressed. Then I went outisde, got in my car, and went to work."

Not very much substance, right? Take this improved version.

"I woke up, a bit groggy from last night's party. But it was Monday, so I had to go to work. I didn't bother making my bed, and I strolled into the kitchen without a care in the world. What sounds good for breakfast? I thought. MmMmMmM. Scrambled eggs... I got a pan, and I cracked two eggs onto it. The sweet aroma of the sizzling eggs filled the small house. Ah, what a wonderful time to be alive. Once the eggs were finished, I sat down and ate them. Slowly. Ever so slowly. They were delicious! I quickly washed up the plate and fork, and then went into the bathroom. I undressed myself from my pajamas, and hopped into the shower. Baaah! Hot water! I warmed up to it after a while, and it was pretty relaxing. When I was done, I got out. I searched through my closet, and found a nice brown polo shirt to put on. I put on some khakis, and was ready to go! I went out in the hall and put on some Timberlands. Then, I went outside and got into my brand new, jet-black Land Rover. I drove to work, happy with my morning."

See? Much, much better. Would you rather have a plain, bland sentence, or a richly-detailed paragraph? I'd choose the latter, but I dunno about you.


Okay, now you should know the basics. This tab will be a list of links you could go to if you'd like to learn more! And remember, you can always contact me via TG.

History: (Please briefly explain history, don't just put "IRL")

Just after dawn on April 19, 1775, the British attempted to disarm the Massachusetts militia at Concord, Massachusetts, this beginning the war with the "Shot Heard Round the World." On July 4, 1776, Founding Fathers wrote the United States Declaration of Independence. They won the Revolutionary War and started a new country. They signed the constitution in 1787 and the Bill of Rights in 1791. General George Washington, who had led the war, became its first president. During the 19th century, the United States gained much more land in the West and began to become industrialized. In 1861, several states in the South attempted to leave the United States to start a new country called the Confederate States of America. This caused the American Civil War. After the war, Immigration resumed. Some Americans became very rich in this Gilded Age, and the country developed one of the largest economies in the world. Since then, the US has maintained a position as a global power.

I'd say that's possible, but it'd be unstable until you start cracking down and/or reforming. Warlords would still have internal power.

Long live Sun Yat-Sen! Long live the three principles of the people! May the blue sky and white sun fly eternally! Welp now that Sun Yat-Sen is going to be alive, the left KMT is probably going to have a lot more power. The CPC probably will never be kicked out of the first united front if they ever form in the first place. China might be the only openly socialist country since Sun Yat-sen wanted a socialist economic system and democracy for all.

When exactly is the point of difference? I'm assuming some important things can't be changed, but for some, could they be changed? Such as the Second Revolution succeeding in 1913 instead of failing?

The only things that cannot be changed are things that directly impact the entire world (i.e. A-H never collapsing, UK turning communist), or border changes.

Ah okay then. I'll have to think of a way for the second revolution to be successful then. Maybe Yuan Shikai was less popular ITL than OTL and the Beiyang army fragmented earlier or there was larger support for Sun Yat-Sen among the Beiyang army. Hmm, that means that China's relations with Japan would be pretty good right now. Just got to try to curb the rampant militarism and China and Japan could become great allies with the shared goal of kicking out Western Imperialists from Asia.

History:
The Republic of China was formed in the aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911. After decades of humiliation by foreign powers and centuries of Manchu rule, the Han majority populace rose against their foreign oppressors and Manchu rulers. They spread from the central and eastern provinces, with Sun Yat-Sen and his Tongmenghui, encouraging much of the populace in these regions. They picked up the slogans "kill the Manchu" and "expel the foreigners". During this revolution, military units in Wuhan, proclaimed their support of Sun Yat-Sen, forming the Wuhan soldier's soviet, with many other military units in the region flocking to their banner, making Sun Yat-Sen the leader of this fledgling revolution.

However, these soldiers were all provincial and garrison units and were still outnumbered by the troops loyal to the Qing Dynasty. To rectify this, Sun Yat-sen asked the Beiyang army to support the new revolutionary government, promising Yuan Shikai the presidency of the new Republic if he could convince the Imperial Court to surrender. Yuan Shikai would agree and in 1912, the Qing court abdicated, but in 1913, with increasing tyrannical rule and suppression of the official opposition, the Tongmenghui, Sun Yat-Sen and his supporters revolted against Yuan Shikai. The revolt began in the south, with several southern provincial governors pledging their support for Sun Yat-sen. Due to the Tongmenghui's support among the working class, most of the common soldiers and junior officers in the Beiyang army pledged support for Sun Yat-Sen's rebellion. Due to support of the Beiyang Army and the southern provincial governors, the Tongmenghui would be successful in their revolution, overthrowing Yuan Shikai, and placing him and his supporters under house arrest.

In 1914, with the onset of WW1, China would officially join the entente if they were given all German concessions in China, several British and French concessions. They would help the British takeover of Tsingtao, by sending most of the former Beiyang army, which amounted to 100,000 soldiers. During the siege, the Chinese would help overwhelm the defenders in several days, and managed to capture two cruisers from the German East Asia Squadron. Throughout WW1, they would seize more concessions in China including the Austrian-Hungarian concession, the Belgian concession, and the Russian concessions once Russia collapsed into a civil war. The Chinese army would also undergo modernization during this time, with the first military academy established in 1914, with its cadets trained from French, British, and Japanese officers. The army was also retrained and organized to as close to European standards as possible. By 1918, on paper, the Chinese military was one of the strongest in Asia, though it hadn't been truly tested in a large-scale conflict. However, the country was still divided due to warlords that ruled much of the western and northern parts of the country, with Republican rule strongest in the wealthy eastern and southern provinces.

RP Sample: viewtopic.php?p=38672567#p38672567

Other: Sun Yat-sen has ties with the Japanese government and is friends with several prominent Japanese politicians and business owners. The Tongmenghui and Sun Yat-Sen is also popular among overseas Chinese.

History: Basically Kaiser Germany but far more militaristic, didn’t stop at Paris during Franco-Prussian war but instead continued deep into the nation and even attempted to establish some puppet states which turned out to be a horrendous attempt to maintain due to partisans. Later the German Empire took a far more militaristic look, especially before the outcry of the WW1, participating in one form or another in all major European conflicts. Even before the beginning of WW1 Germany had already been long stockpiling on essential war materials due to the state war doctrine being Clausewitz’s Absolute War doctrine and as such even in 1918 while Germany can’t certainly attempt to make large pushes like during Somme, they neither the less still prove extremely capable and dangerous enemy, having the will and the resources to carry on the war for years to come. Although here they did allow Lenin to go through their lands to Russia just like IRL, communist ide@s are far less popular amongst the German people, mainly because the country is still “combat capable”- which is mainly due to pre-war stacking up.

RP Sample: Preparing for the offensive.
Special shock detachments will be formed, which will include only the best of the best fighters who have shown themselves in a special way at the front - they will be temporarily removed from the front for training in military educational institutions, as well as for training in the rear. The practice of field express schools for commanders will continue, but now they will also be organized for ordinary soldiers - this mainly concerns the Air Force and armored formations. In general, during the preparation for the offensive, the front will be on the defensive, with the only exception that there will be no tactical retreat, just like clearing the ground for "no man's land". Let's talk separately about the use of aviation in preparation for an offensive. Given the overall wide front, it is extremely important to ensure full coverage of the entire frontline and frontline zone by the network of ground observers in order to avoid the fact that there are "holes" that can be exploited by enemy reconnaissance aircraft (Remember The Bloody April). For this, a fairly large number of anti-aircraft artillery regiments will be transferred, which will be located at a more or less equal distance from the front line and each other.Anti-aircraft platoons armed with machine guns and automatic weapons should be included in each mechanized formation at the company level, and in each infantry unit at battalion level. Particular attention will be paid to the interaction between observers and the Air Force - it must be honed to automatism, which will be given special attention during the training of anti-aircraft gunners.
Directly offensive
In the course of the offensive itself, it is necessary as soon as possible, stunning the enemy with the rapid pace of the offensive. Therefore, I consider it necessary to schedule it weekly.
First week of the offensive. Large armored formations, consisting of K-Wagen and supported by Lk.I, Renault FT and Mark, are withdrawn into the vanguard, a massive offensive against enemy positions begins along the combat routes previously developed for each division. Infantry is moving directly behind the tanks, whose tasks include supporting equipment with fire and also preventing it from being hit by grenades, at the same time, tanks will cover the infantry from small arms. The troops will advance directly behind the constantly moving "line" of artillery strike - instead of just artillery preparation and the subsequent offensive here, the troops will advance in the course of artillery preparation. This will prevent the enemy from regrouping and taking up defensive positions. Although due to the possibilities of communication, this may lead to rare cases of friendly fire, we have reserves. The tips of the huge wedges must, in synchronized fashion, burst into the enemy's defensive lines, "locking" its retreating units into "pockets", which will then be closed by infantry and light motorized infantry going in the strategic rear, thus creating a fairly large number of "cauldrons".

Furthermore, while IRL they did allow Lenin to get through German territories to get to Russia, here they arranged an “accident” before his departure which resulted in Lenin’s and Trotsky’s deaths. As a result of this while the October Revolution still happened, it did to a far lesser extent than IRL which is very beneficial for the war effort- no

RP Sample: Preparing for the offensive.
Special shock detachments will be formed, which will include only the best of the best fighters who have shown themselves in a special way at the front - they will be temporarily removed from the front for training in military educational institutions, as well as for training in the rear. The practice of field express schools for commanders will continue, but now they will also be organized for ordinary soldiers - this mainly concerns the Air Force and armored formations. In general, during the preparation for the offensive, the front will be on the defensive, with the only exception that there will be no tactical retreat, just like clearing the ground for "no man's land". Let's talk separately about the use of aviation in preparation for an offensive. Given the overall wide front, it is extremely important to ensure full coverage of the entire frontline and frontline zone by the network of ground observers in order to avoid the fact that there are "holes" that can be exploited by enemy reconnaissance aircraft (Remember The Bloody April). For this, a fairly large number of anti-aircraft artillery regiments will be transferred, which will be located at a more or less equal distance from the front line and each other.Anti-aircraft platoons armed with machine guns and automatic weapons should be included in each mechanized formation at the company level, and in each infantry unit at battalion level. Particular attention will be paid to the interaction between observers and the Air Force - it must be honed to automatism, which will be given special attention during the training of anti-aircraft gunners.
Directly offensive
In the course of the offensive itself, it is necessary as soon as possible, stunning the enemy with the rapid pace of the offensive. Therefore, I consider it necessary to schedule it weekly.
First week of the offensive. Large armored formations, consisting of K-Wagen and supported by Lk.I, Renault FT and Mark, are withdrawn into the vanguard, a massive offensive against enemy positions begins along the combat routes previously developed for each division. Infantry is moving directly behind the tanks, whose tasks include supporting equipment with fire and also preventing it from being hit by grenades, at the same time, tanks will cover the infantry from small arms. The troops will advance directly behind the constantly moving "line" of artillery strike - instead of just artillery preparation and the subsequent offensive here, the troops will advance in the course of artillery preparation. This will prevent the enemy from regrouping and taking up defensive positions. Although due to the possibilities of communication, this may lead to rare cases of friendly fire, we have reserves. The tips of the huge wedges must, in synchronized fashion, burst into the enemy's defensive lines, "locking" its retreating units into "pockets", which will then be closed by infantry and light motorized infantry going in the strategic rear, thus creating a fairly large number of "cauldrons".

As I said earlier, alternate events can't result in border changes or things that effect the world as a whole (Oct. Revolution).

Miscalculated the numbers that I researched, my fault.

Can I not write down the exact number and type of aircraft that Germany has? Because that would be pain...


Yeah, just an estimate.

American gdp should be around 61 billion or so. The cost of ww1 to america was around 32 billion or 52% of its gdp. At least according to the source I used.
