Explain the AH Quote

[Moetron 9000]

"You see sire, the Russian Civil War is divided among the East and the West, the principalities of Orthodox patriarchs in the west and the khanates of Zoroastarians in the east. How should we proceed?"

A member of the Swedish general staff to King Charles XIV John during an emergency meeting of parliament in the month following the mass rebellion of aforementioned Zoroastrian nomads in the Siberian tundra in the winter of 1824. The steppe peoples of Central Asia had adopted that particular religion following the mass exodus of Zoroastrians north from Persian during the Islamic conquest and the mass persecution of non-Muslims that followed. While the Princely Commonwealth of Russia had managed to lay claim to the lands east of the Urals in the 17th century, she had never been able to truly tame it, and after a series of disastrous attempts at forced conversion by the ultra-religious Grand Prince Alexander, the khanates finally rebelled against their Russian overlords. Charles John would eventually opt to throw in with the Zoroastrians over his Christian brothers, and by 1830, the Confederacy of Siberia was an independent state, stretching from the Urals to the Pacific.

"If I told you that there was an army of a hundred thousand Ottoman Turks marching here right now to help us fight these Austrian bastards, would you believe me?"

A rather bemused messaeger informing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that the Ottomans have surprisingly sent forces to help deal with the Christian Wars of the Catholic HRE and the Orthodox Commonwealth. Later communications would reveal in exchange for this, the Ottomans request support for the small cities remaning of Granada to reform Al-Andalus by stopping the Habsbergs, which the Commonwealth agreed, resulting in most of Spain and Portugal being under the new Al-Andalus with the Basque as a vassal and the Anglo-French Diarchy as a rival.

"Praise Mazdak, who died for our sins. He may have come from the land of Persia, but Rome will always be his homeland. For every man is an emperor and we are all brothers-in-arms, peaceful farmers yet willing to take up arms to protect our great Roman Empire under martial pacifism. Praise Mazdak!"

"Praise Mazdak, who died for our sins. He may have come from the land of Persia, but Rome will always be his homeland. For every man is an emperor and we are all brothers-in-arms, peaceful farmers yet willing to take up arms to protect our great Roman Empire under martial pacifism. Praise Mazdak!"

The ravings of Dragonborn preacher Algebrosh Razhak in proselytism towards his martial-pacifistic faith in worship of the Draconic god Bahamut through his main prophet, Mazdak, former Persian Immortal who defected to the Western Roman Empire after converting to the worship of Bahamut. This faith did come into competition with the Collected Churches of the Squared Circle, particularly with the Church the Sporting Entertainer under Father Vincent, Son of Mahon, and the Church of the Masked Saint, as taught by the Masked Saint himself and his sometimes partner, The Blue Beholder. The Churches of the Squared Circle did eventually prove to be more popular among the Romans, as alongside the normal efforts of proselytism, the Faiths of the Squared Circle would also take part in Rome's gladiatorial shows, and also showed more often that their techniques had more use in the field of battle than the ones taught by Mazdak, due in part to the Squared Circle's emphasis on full contact sparring rather than kata and point sparring. Despite this, both faiths are still practiced in the modern day, and the heads of the respective faiths, both at the time and now, harbor no real ill will towards one another, even if the Prophet Mohamed Ali, head of the faith of the Church of the Gloved Fist, thinks that Mazdak was never a fighter.

"The Union of Kings will stand, as it always has, against threats to our world. Whether that was the Osmanid Caliphate attempting to take the lands of Eastern Rome, the antisemitic Austrian National Socialists of 1940, or the New Caliphate, as it calls itself, attempting to wipe out the Kingdom of Israel-Jerusalem yet again. Always remember, that an attack on one of our Kingdoms is an attack upon the Union of Kings." King Juhani Virtanen XXIII of Finland.

An internal memo distributed among the Union of Kings - an union of reactionary monarchist political parties, each seeking the imposition of Absolute Monarchy over the country it operates in. The UoK was founded in 2054 - notably, in the previous year, a bloody Coup d'Etat in Belgium occured and the Lesothoan Referendum on unification with South Africa was passed, both resulting in the very definitely and totally final abolition of Monarchical government on Earth.

"This land is your land, this land is my land
From Dubrovnik to the Dalmatian lands
From the Salvonian Forest to the Istrian waters
Not even a single Serb shall be."

 

[I'tikaf]

"This land is your land, this land is my land
From Dubrovnik to the Dalmatian lands
From the Salvonian Forest to the Istrian waters
Not even a single Serb shall be."

An altered version of the poem " This land is your land, this land is my land " which was used as the anthem of the Serbian Socialist People's Army or the SSPA. The SSPA was a resistance group from 1948-75 which fought Nazi attempts of the Aryanification of the Balkans. The USA first began supplying the Resistance group in 1950 after the German Reich's first detonation of a nuclear bomb on Birmingham which finally ended World War 2. Fuhrer Heinrich Himmler was reported as saying this of the group " Those Filthy Slavs is a thorn in the De-Slavicization of the Balkans. It is the duty of every Aryan Soldier to Fight and Win against such Üntermenschen ". The Resistance under Josep Tito would severely hamper the German Warmachine and was one of the many factors leading to the downfall of the Reich according to HRH Şehzade Mehmet Osmanoglu (Acclaimed Historian and the First Ottoman Royal to gain a Masters in Twentieth Century History) of the Ottoman Royal Institute of Ankara.

The last words of a Muslim soldier before he stabbed Joseph Gobbels in the throat, as part of the last great battle against Nazi Europe, consisting of the USA and the Middle East against the German Reich and their puppet states. The soldier in particular killed many of the high command and background checks reveal his pregnant wife and her family were of Jewish descent and thus died in the camps.

“Praise the great feathered serpent, who defied the tyrant god to provide with the knowledge of good and evil!”

The final words of Belgian Prime Minister Jan Vandroogenbroeck, before his removal (as mentioned earlier) by the European Common Defence Forces (the Military of the European Union) in 2053. His removal was then marked by the deposition of the entire Belgian federal government, including the King and both the Federal, Regional and Linguistic Community Legislatures, Executives and Judiciaries, and a period of direct EU rule over Belgium. Though unprecedented, this was neither the first nor the last instance of the EU taking over one of its member states following the passage of the Treaty of Sarajevo (which also transfered defense and foreign affairs matters to the EU, turning the EU states' from independent states under a supranational union into subnational units of a federation), and also not the most infamous -

"Citizens of England and Wales - This is the Voice of Europe from Glasgow! As of today, the European Common Defence Forces have assumed control of 10 Downing Street and are working to ensure a speedy and pain-free Brexit reversal..."

Spoken by an unidentified radio propagandist the people of the Union of England and Wales called 'Baldwin Brussels' during the Euro-Anglo War of 2059 that saw the 'liberation' of England-Wales from it's so-called 'tyrannical' government under the Junta of Lord-General William Athelstan. The European Union under President Jean-Henrico Bonn would announce a successful 'recovery' of the last of the former British nations at the dawn of 2060.

"Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you
In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you
The ink flows down into a dark puddle
Just move your hand - write the way into his heart!
But in this world of infinite choices
What will it take just to find that special day?
What will it take just to find that special day?"

"I did not expect Queen Victoria to marry the Emperor of China..."

Oda Hideyoshi, the Emperor of China (de facto the shogun of Japan and the ruler of a series of fortresses in Korea, Manchuria, Nanjing, and Guangdong), sought an alliance with the Spanish against the Ming Dynasty, and hence arranged a royal marriage with the Viceroy of the Philippines, Queen Victoria de Trastámara-Cortés-Montezuma. Since Oda Hideyoshi had only converted to Catholicism five years previously, this came as a surprise to some, such as Fernando de Borbón, the prime minister of Aragon who said this quote.

Utter by Joseph Stalin, a member of the Politburo about fellow member Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, known more commonly as Beria due to his rise to power in the Soviet Union after the unexpected death of Lenin. He won the power struggle against Trotsky by seizing control of the bureaucratic faction that Stalin had created but lost due to suffering a mysterious poisoning attempt that left him in a coma mere days after insulting Beria as a thug. Beria would rule the Soviet Union for decades as Premier-Marshall of the Soviet Union, making the joint-office of Marshall of the Soviet Union and Premier of the Soviet Union the defacto head of government and state in the USSR until the reforms of the 1980's.

"The fallout from Operation Honeypot has been staggering, there isn't a single major politician that hasn't been directly linked to the scandal. While the President is facing impeachment, the people impeaching him are also facing their own criminal charges and their hopes to bury the scandal by offering the President as a scapegoat have failed miserably. Revolution is eminent."

 

[CountDVB]

A reporters' take on the Honeypot Scandal, a fallout involving the use of women of politcal pawns in government while also being a clever reference to honey being like gold and referring to the role of corperations in the thing. Many politicians would end up being jailed and to prevent revolution, many emergancy votes would be done to maintain order. While most emegrancy politicians were either lame ducks or former politicians drudged out of retirement (such as former Senator Bernie Sanders, one of the few politicians not involved at all with the scandal), some were new and hungry for change. This would lead to the rise of new parties, mainly the United Party, a left-wing party who took majority fo the House and Senate and proceeded to help launch several reforms and lead in the lawsuits of the remaining politicians and corportations involved. Despite a rough first year, it was bery beneifical in the long run that brought a new Golden Age for the USA.

This describes Operation Honeypot, an attempt by US to Liberate thailand from communist regime there. Despite the operation being successful, the bribery scandal from defence contracters and Thai royal family have caused the scandal. Afterwards, the revolution happened and dozens of the states seceded. joined Mexico texas split into american section and mexican section.

American concordance was signed to confirm this.

Announcement made by President Horace Greeley in 1863 that finally concluded the issue of the collapsing Republic of Texas. Greeley was the fifth consecutive Whig President after Henry Clay's election in 1844 (followed by Daniel Webster, William A. Graham, John M. Clayton, and Greeley himself), and established the official boundaries of the borders of Mexico and the United States. The extent of the US' western boundaries would be completely settled when the United Kingdom ceded the Oregon Territory to the United States. The stable relations between the two countries assured that Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna would remain President of Mexico for the rest of his life.

"George McGovern has become the first man since James Monroe to win every state in a Presidential election."

Walter Cronkite, following the devastating victory of George McGovern over Incumbent Richard Nixon in the 1972 election. The numerous illegal activities that the Nixon administration undertook were leaked when G. Gordon Liddy - leader of the so-called "White House Plumbers" - had a crisis of conscience in police custody following his May 1972 arrest for coordinating the break-ins of hotel rooms and offices belonging to members of the Democratic party within the Watergate complex. While McGovern had run a lackluster campaign, and while pundits predicted that he would likely be defeated in a landslide at this current pace, the "Liddy Scandal", as it came to be known, resulted in the Democratic candidate receiving 537 electoral votes - one faithless elector going to Libertarian candidate John Hospers - and 80% of the popular vote; Nixon had refused to call off his campaign, in spite of mounting pressure for him to either be impeached or to resign. McGovern took office before impeachment proceedings could commence, but Nixon was later tried and convicted as a private citizen, with E. Howard Hunt's testimony joining Liddy's - both were offered plea deals by the Senate investigative committee - to damn Nixon to ten years in prison on a mass variety of charges. The former President would only last six years of his sentence before dying of cardiac arrest during the night in his jail cell.

"There once was a great man who, in the face of overwhelming odds, and in the face of a better trained, better equipped, and better organized army, told his troops 'Not one step back!' That man is dead now. He died, standing on his feet, refusing to move even one step back in the face of an overwhelming storm that threatened to tear his country apart. Tonight, we too may die, just as this great man once did. But tonight, we too will die standing on our feet. We too will die! I tell you! We too will die, taking not one step back!"
