Our League of Nations
- Thread starter CountofDooku
- Start date
Hard to say, the LON could survive until modern times here despite some failues, or crisis if we want, or being disbandet like OTL.
While I don't mind LoN continuing to exist but it was gonna collapse and disbanded since everyone started to leave so...
Well, let's keep on going. After all, someone needs to help organize the mess when the war ends and it will help reinforce the importance of the League.
Not only that we could be TTL Allies leeding attacked and threatened member nations during the World War and aid End it again after causing some of it to rise in the first place, as a means to redeem ourselves again.
The Peace Front
With the League of Nations remaining neutral in the growing crisis and conflict in Europe, trying their very best, even if sometimes that was not enough the major supporters of the League so far, the Americans, the British, including South Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Raj/ India, and Burmaas well as in parts the Arab Nation, as well as the French, Spanish and Italians formed the League of Nations Peace Council, in which each of thus Great Powers of major Regional Powers would get a seat and aim to protect peace and stability for the League of Nations in their part of the world. With the last Republican forces surrendering the Spanish Civil War finally ends, a little after the official Nationalist/ Monarchist and Catholic Church deceleration of it being over. In Germany Adolf Hitler orders the planning of Operation Staufer, also known as Fall Schneeweiß, the planned invasion of the Soviet Union, thanks to secret negotiations with the French and British to not contest each others borders, or attack one another. In Turkey the twice prime minister Refik Saydam forms a new local government. Inside the Arab Empire and Union meanwhile, the local Kingdom of Mesopotamia sees King Ghazi die after an automobile accident, resulting in his son Faisal II becoming King of Mesopotamia. The border clashes between Hungari and Romania, also known as the Hungarian-Romanian War end in some minor territorial changes, mainly thanks to German negotiations, which in return secured them the majority of Romanian oil exports. Meanwhile the Polish Foreign Minister Colonel Józef Beck signs the Treaty of Poland-Lithuania with the Germans, a guarantee of ethnic Polish lands in the Rest of Poland, as well as an acknowledgment that in any war against the Soviet Union/ Russia, the Germans would aid their Polish “allies” in regaining lost territories of former Poland-Lithuania in the East. Mewanhwile Italian ambitions in the Balkans are hindered by the larger Yugoslav Federation and a strong Greece, which is why Italy attempts to get Romania and Turkey into it’s Latin Alliance, Federation and League. Seeing how the League of Nations works together with the Latin Alliance in the Southwest and the Soviet Union in the East, the Axis Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey leave the coalition of nations, while Bulgaria, now a part of Yugoslavia is hesitant to do the same and some of it’s monarchists and nationalists about a Union with Greece to revive a pseudo-Byzantine Empire. At the same time the French Foreign Minister is convinced in talks with the Soviet Ambassador, that the Latin Southern European Alliance and other European nation States aided by it would form a strong Peace Front with Great Britain, Yugoslavia and Greece to deter any attempt of the Axis to start a European War. Officially the Soviet Union joins this Peace Front to be defended in chase of German aggression and a first strike against them from Central Europe. In the United States meanwhile Billie Holiday records first anti-lynching song called Strange Fruit, while five days later the Federal Security Agency (FSA), Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC, or 3C) and Public Health Service (PHS) are founded in the Untied States. Feeling secured with the pacts made with French and Italy to the West/ South, Adolf Hitler in a addressing speech to the Reichstag, declares an End of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, as well as any form of non-aggression and coexistence between the National Socialist German Reich and their Axis allies towards the as he calls it, Judea-Bolshevik Enemy of all Mankind, the Soviet Union.
What to do about Hitler?
A) A economic embargo should teach the Germans to become more peaceful again.
B) Diplomatic pressure is more then enough.
C) Form an official European Alliance against the Axis and all other Aggression.
D) Surely he can’t be mad enough to start another European War, can He? Let us remain calm and wait for now.
NOTE: To avoid your answer to be seen as spam, please write a short sentence to each (that you chose A, B, C, or maybe why you choose so, maybe that can even convince others to vote the same as you did).
I'm tempted to go for D since I want the LoN to disbanded but forming a European Alliance between the Allies and pro-Western nations in the Balkans so... going with C.

We should support pro-Western and pro-Federation in Austria-Hungary so the Soviet Union doesn't spread it's ideology into the Balkans, of course we're gonna need to have give their claims on Poland's and Ukraine's land.
*Also nice reference to Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator", love his speech scene.

Me too, not only was the speech itself great, laughing about authoritarian monsters and thereby undermining their authority is one of the best things one can do instead of taking them serious and giving into them in the first place. ;D
Yup too bad the US population was stupid enough to allow Mccarthyism become a thing and ruined Chapin's life... sometimes I hate this country...
Whilst we should, as much as possible, seek option (B), a combination of (A) and (C) may be necessary.

If Europe does enter into war again, all parties must be aware that the non-participant nations shall not tolerate a violation of their sovereignty, and shall act against the aggressor.
C. The threat being posed by the Axis powers is too great to be ignored.

As John Stuart Mill said: “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
Or as we know it, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Europe will not be swarmed by irredentism or autocrats again, lest this plague spread across the world and bathe the land's soil in the blood of brothers. We must prepare to combat his forces and let them know that such delusions of cruel grandeur have no place in the future.

A). We need to completely embargo all of Germany in order to destroy Hitler's war machine.
