I'm starting this thread with the goal of creating a topic in the library summarizing this conflict. In including WWI in my history, I have made the following assumptions a) The war took place between the same dates b) The war was fought in a similar manner, i.e. with similar technology and weaponary c) There was a similar number of casualties to IRL WWI d) The War was ended with a Versailles esque document Dyfedia was involved on the losing side of the war, capitulating and signing the treaty of versailles (or IC equivalent). Here is the relevant section of my factbook
So if everyone who was involved wants post something similar to the above here, we could figure out sides, belligerents, and then work on the course of the war, and I can try to put together a summary. Progress thus far: BELLIGERENTS Central Powers Ardian Empire Rus Empire Dyfedia Tytor Allied Forces Dartfordia Seaforth CAUSE COURSE Theatres? Naval Theatre Fronts? Ending Treaty? Conditions? Reparations? Edited by Major_Thom, 5th January 2015 - 03:04 AM.

Alright. I guess we are going with the theory that the Rus Empire was on the losing side. The Rus Empire joined in on the war to support their allies in ___ against ___. Calling together Rus' allies, they viewed themselves as a mighty power, able to destroy any who oppose it. However, as its enemies grew and grew, a longer, more powerful war grew. As its allies continued fighting alongside it, revolutionary fever spread among it's people, demanding peace, freedom and equality. This forced the Rus Empire to surrender a year earlier, on the conditions of losing its most western provinces in central Coft Aranye. However, this did not prevent a violent Revolutionary war, which ravened the country for many years, and resulted in the independence of countless states. I don't know if the Rus empire would be the primary aggressor, or an ally of the aggressor. If i have to start the war, I would be fine with it. |

At the time, Ireden was a bunch of small territories acting as one nation, only without a central government. We can assume most Iredic nations would have stayed out of the war, however some of the larger ones could've been persuaded to base troops for enough cash money.. | |||

As far as Achkaerin goes think along the lines of Switzerland i.e. neutral so possible openings for negotiations there, with the memory of a civil war Achkaerin wouldn't jump into a world war- it would have to be attacked first before anything like that happened.

We can have the Ardian Empire be the original aggressor. After all, it has (I believe) already been established that they were dismantled a la Austria-Hungary after the war. As for Tytor, the following is what I was thinking; A long-time ally of Imperial Ardia, the Grand Principality of Tytor entered the First World War on their side on December 30, 1914. Tytorian troops fought in several major engagements throughout the war, and Tytorian ships fought in the Battle of _______, the largest naval battle of the war. Ultimately, total casualties nearly reached two hundred thousand, a number which helped create vast dissatisfaction with the monarchy. This unrest would result in the People's Revolt of 1922, which lead in turn to the brutal Communist Period. Ironically, it would be the long years of communist rule that would finally lead to Tytor's modern constitutional monarchy. Edited by Tytor, 3rd January 2015 - 05:30 PM.

So as far as I can tell, the central powers are Tytor, the Ardian Empire, the Rus Empire, Dyfedia, and the only allied side we have thus far is Dartfordia? | |||

I would be interested in adding something if possible. The 'actual' location of Berrean before I adapted it to fit TIO Geography was between the French-German border and the history I created then put Berrean in as a pain in the backside - helping neither side but still causing trouble. As a result this nation went into a short civil war after having to pay for damages (or whatever it's called) caused. However this isn't really possible in this particular scenario, but I would be interested in contributing (if possible/'physically' possible) in some form - either similar to what is mentioned above, or allied with either one of the sides - Just as long as the outcome for me can lead to a financial crisis and civil war. |

The issue with WWI is that it was trench warfare, which means we would need to have established fronts somewhere - and with our assorted splattering of nations that isn't really possible. | |||

well, right now I see two possible fronts. One near or in the Illumic and one that Dartfordia deals with somehow. Toshikawa, would have enough economic strength to host and hold it's own front, though not for long without support. | |||

I wish I could be involved more but that would require a complete over hall of what I have planned for Iredic foundation. The most I am willing to curve my history for is 320,000 men from the various functioning mini-kingdoms if you will at the time in Ireden. They wouldn't have been opposed, but would all have been supporting a certain side of the war, more likely the allies and they'd definitely have been involved in any sort of Illumic front. Maybe 60,000 dead, depending on the severity of the war. Major Kingdoms at the time were 'Eirland (no comments please),' 'Lymra,' 'Hjitad (Large minority ethnic group nation),' 'Breiy' and 'Liiln.' There were others though. The Republic of Galicia would've been involved in the war heavily, most likely with the allies again, contributing maybe 100,000 men. |

Seeing as Fahrland is so close to where I assume the Rus Empire existed, it would be a perfect place for a long trench line to develop. Fahrland could have been one of the main battlegrounds (which would provide a good explanation for our long isolationist stretch and our peculiar government style). It wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that Seaforthian troops came in to bolster our troop numbers as well. | |||
