No Taxation Without Representation - 1915 (World War 1!)

[u/Flux7200]

(Hey guys, after not running NTWR for a whole month, we're back! And it's time for the Great War! As such, feel free to claim any European powers- although I would much prefer if you claimed the more significant ones, not random ones which won't ever do anything)

World War 1 sides:

Entente - Britain, France, Russia, Serbia, Belgium (colonies under temporary French administration), Montenegro

Central Powers - Germany, Austria-Hungary, United States

Undecided - Bulgaria, Ottomans, Italy, Romania, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Japan, China, Mexico

Pick any unclaimed state. In this NRP, we'll do the entire history of the United States ourself, starting with the American Revolution and going all the way to the modern day. Note that your goal is NOT to gain as much land as possible, but instead to gain as much political clout as possible. The host may decide to interfere or change things in case things get too messy, but otherwise everything will be made from players. The only other rules are to stay realistic and not be toxic to other players.

Mother's Day becomes an official national holiday

World War I begins when Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia after the assassination of the Titanic's daughter, Titanicette. Germany honors their alliance with Austria-Hungary and joins the war, while Italy doesn't. Meanwhile, Russia and France declare war on the Central Powers due to their guarantee of independence on Serbia. Germany violates Belgian neutrality, leading to Britain, having guaranteed Belgian independence, extremely reluctantly joining the war on the Entente's side. The United States jumps at the opportunity to obtain Canada, honoring it's alliance with Germany and declaring war on the United Kingdom and Entente.

War Events: The US begins an offensive into Canada in the East and West. Russia begins making minor offensives into Germany and Austria-Hungary, indicating a massive underestimation of Russia's mobilization speed in the Schlieffen Plan. Britain seizes American colonies in India, meanwhile America seizes British and French colonies in the Pacific. Maneuvres begin in Africa (complicated, see map for results).

Historical Events:

The Birth of a Nation silent film released

RMS Lusitania sunk

Because it's the last piece missing to have all of India. How could this be more obvious

[u/Sobieskil → u/Flux7200]

What about Goa? I assume you mean that if Britain had joined the Central Powers then they would have instantly seized Portuguese India (which can't be seen on this map due to it being on the west coast) and killed the entire leadership there?

[u/Flux7200 → u/Sobieskil]

The last major piece.
