"Read my lips: I will end Red France. There will be no more Jacobite terrorists, no more propaganda, no more calendars to worry about."
Regent Haig of Great Britain following the first anniversary of the 1916 Paris Rising and subsequent establishment of the French Fifth Republic, on his policy to continue war against both the Russo-German Duumvirate and the Jacobin Brotherhood at the same time. Unbenknownst to him, Haig's barnstorming speech from Buckingham Palace, far from outlining a renewed resolve to fight against Britain's enemies, coincided with the shock Armistice of Prague which ended hostilities between the Duumvirate and Austria-Hungary. Following the collapse of her foremost continental ally, Haig was summarily ousted following a palace coup by elements of the civil service sympathetic to the Prime Minister, Lord Randolph Churchill, who subsequently assumed the regency for himself and merged it with the office of Prime Minister to become the first President of Great Britain.
