Hullo!

Sorry this is a little bit late, but better late then never, eh? The subject for this fortnight's map challenge, if you choose to accept it, is thus:

"The revolution has failed! Make a map showing the aftermath of a failed revolution."

I'd like to note that there is no real restriction on what your map shows, provided it can be linked to a failed revolution.

This round shall finish on Sunday, the 21st of February.

!THIS THREAD IS FOR POSTING OF ENTRIES ONLY!

Any discussion must take place in the discussion thread. If you post anything other than an entry to the contest here you will be disqualified from competing in this round of the contest and we shall have to make a phone call to your mother, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

So the challenge has been made; do you have what it takes to pick up the proverbial gauntlet? Do you have the guile to take on the greatest of AH.com's Cartographer-Artists? Are you ready to face the cruelty of the masses, they who hold the very reins of this world (or at least the results of the contest)?

The Cultural Revolution in China plunges the country into economic and political chaos. There's another Great Famine and both urban and rural Chinese revolt against Mao's government. The PRC falls back to the northern provinces, and is unable to garrison the separatist-plagued fringes (Tibet, Outer Mongolia, Manchuria, Sinkiang), which it is forced to give autonomy (read: de facto independence). The ROC re-invades from Taiwan. The ROC's army is not nearly large enough to conquer China when they first land, but mass defections from the PRC and citizen-militias soon swell their ranks. The US and its allies are still bogged down in Vietnam, but they send money, what materials they can spare, and their good wishes. They also extend diplomatic recognition to the ROC as the rightful government of China, and the ROC still has a permanent spot on the Security Council. In the provinces caught in the middle it's simply a return to the Chinese Civil War, and they feel no loyalty to either side. Someone steps forward and claims to be the rightful Qing emperor, and the people are so desperate for stability they accept him. A more "moderate" (than Mao, anyway) Communist leader named Deng Xiaoping sets up the People's Republic of Sichuan, which is Communist but not aligned with the PRC or anyone really. And a bunch of ambitious generals take advantage of the power vacuum in Yunnan (where the spheres of influence of the ROC, P.R. Sichuan, and North Vietnam overlap and cause chaos) and set up a number of tin-pot jungle dictatorships, the so-called Guerrilla Republics.

The Communist revolution was crushed by the Whites, and Russia ended up under a one-party, right-wing, military-dominated regime. In the 1940s, Russia avenged 1904-1905 and drove the Japanese off the mainland (which led to some extensive political turmoil in Nippon, and by 1959 the hurried departure of the Emperor). Unfortunately, in a fit of Victory Disease, the Russians annexed much of N. China to their Empire. By 1959, their principal puppet state is on the way to collapse, requiring military occupation, and nationalist terrorism is on the rise in Manchuria as well. The elderly Supreme Commander and Protector of the Russian People feels sure, that once the Chinese capital has been occupied, all this nonsense stirred up by outsiders will soon come to an end... :rolleyes:

The Dreikaiserbund between Imperial Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Imperial Russia survives into the early 20th century and Germany succeeds in politically isolating France from the rest of Europe.

The French government is seen by many as weak, corrupt and compliant, creating support for radical revolutionary political parties in the French Third Republic. These revolutionary movements, however, are unfocused and fragmented. Many hope to create a socialist French state, whereas other parties are focused more on revanchism, and ending Germany as a significant power in Europe.

There are allegations of major political parties fixing the vote during the 1911 legislative elections, leading to widespread unrest. This culminates in a revolution begun by the Parti Nouveau and their little-known leader René Henri Monfort. The revolution fails, resulting in the death and capture of several members of the Parti Nouveau, including Monfort.

Monfort decides to take advantage of the press coverage of his trial. Every word he says is printed in the newspapers the next day, allowing him to paint himself and the Parti in a positive light, as well as championing their revanchist policies. Public support for Monfort and the Parti increases, yet the judge at Monfort's trial still gives him a harsh sentence. However, he successfully pleas against the sentence on the terms of malicious prosecution, and his sentence is greatly reduced.

For the next five years Monfort maintains a position as an important and popular political figure, and manages to radicalise a large portion of the French people in favour of his revanchist aims. He is elected President, and the Parti Nouveau wins a majority in the French Parliament. Their main rivals in the Parliament are the socialist, left-wing Parti républicain, radical et radical-socialiste (Republican, Radical and Radical-Socialist Party). Their leader is suspected of, charged with, and found guilty of treason by passing confidential information to German spies, leading to a great deal of anti-socialist and anti-communist backlash, and the banning of the RRRSP from Parliament.

With their power over government secure, Monfort and the Parti Nouveau set out what they hope to achieve for France. This includes the end of French political isolation, the end to Germany's colonial empire, and the reclamation of core French territory. The extent of "France's core" is debated over greatly, with the most moderate people believing that the only land France need reclaim is Alsace-Lorraine.

The piece of propaganda below shows the greatest extent of France's claims on their neighbours.

The Parti Nouveau's explanation for these claims are thus:
-All French speakers must be united under one state.
-The Rhine is the natural eastern border of France.
-Other states must be conquered or subjugated in order to keep them from falling into the oppressive German sphere of influence.

Vive la France.
