Our United Nations

[CountofDooku]

With the End of the Second World War, the United Nations planned to play a much greater role in the world then the League of Nations ever had done, meaning they wished to prevent future conflicts and future wars of any kind whenever possible. At the same time the defeat of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan lead many to believe that a new conflict between Democratic Capitalist West and Authoritarian Communist East was rising. Some believed the best way to prevent this from happening, as well as strengthen and secure the United Nations like the League of Nations never had been would be to ensure that the Peace after the Second World War would not be dictated by revengeist and nationalist ambitions of the victors, but by a Peace Conference made up by all member states and nations within the newly formed United Nations. Things to discuss were plenty, as the Greek Civil War provided a first glimpse of things to come if the increasing rivalries between West and East could not be limited.

A first step therefore was not only to conduct a final peace treaty which would establish the new borders in Europe, but to determent what these borders would be, starting in Germany were the various partition plans of Germany would be debated once more, going south to Austria, were it would be decided if it should be partitioned like Germany as well, leading to Yugoslavia and nearby Albania, were Tito and the Government-in-Exile could agree that neither of them wished to fall completely under Stalin’s influence, as the British had also made it clear they wished no Soviet occupations and control outside of the regions they had taken with their armed forces, until finally in the South the Greek Civil War needed to be addressed. Further east the Partition of Persia between American, British and Soviet forces to secure the vital supply line during the Second War was no longer needed and the country could be liberated once more, but Persian Communists already hoped that the Soviet controlled zone in the North could help them proclaim a Socialist Republic of Persian People (Socialist Republic of Persia) against the ruling Shah Monarchy and by taking over, also secure the Soviet route to the warm water harbors of the Indian Ocean.

In the Far East meanwhile Chiang’s Nationalists, Mao’s Communists and Yan Xishan fought for dominance of Northeast China and Manchuria, while the East Turkestan People’s Republic, similar to the Mongolian People’s Republic looked like the Soviet Union and Stalin wished to carve out parts of the Chinese Republic for themselves. Further Untied Nations peace treaties would also have to clarify if the Korean People, once enslaved under the Japanese Empire could reunite their Peninsula as an independent Nation State and if said country would be more pro-West Capitalist or pro-East Communist. Similarly in Japan the Question if Japan should and would be occupied and maybe divided like the German partition plans needed to be talked over as well. Meanwhile in Southeast Asia, there was the question what should happen with the former European and American Colonies and Protectorates, with the Philippines demanding full independence as a United Nations member state, while in Indochina local socialist, communist and even Nationalist Chinese backed independence movement had already one sided proclaimed the independence of Vietnam, Laos and later Cambodia from French rule while further south the Indonesian Republic had declared it’s independence from the Dutch East Indies. Here the question was if these independence proclamations should lead to United nations member states and new countries forming, possible sparking a wave of decolonization and peaceful, as well as aggressive independence movements all across Asia and Africa, or if these regions should be given back to their former colonial and imperial owners.

It was decided that neither Austria, nor Germany would not be divided and that a mix of the 1st American Plan and the British Partition plan would be implemented. While it was decided that Yugoslavia would become a neutral buffer state in between the Western Capitalist Powers and the Eastern Communist Ones, Stalin claimed he could not control the local Socialists and Communist rebels with some of them accidentally finding their way to Soviet advisors, training and weaponry, to overthrow the Government, while Tito tried his best to keep the multi-ethnic state under a single government, together and out of Stalin’s reach now that the West supported him. In the Greek Civil War the King and Athens government was recognized and because of that few direct support for the Communists in the Northern Mountains arrived trough Bulgaria, meaning they would ultimately loose in the End. Similarly in Persia the Shad was accepted, but the Communists in the North tried to set up their own counter-government. Similarly in the Chinese Republic the Nationalists who saw some warlords like Yan Xishan now back the Nanjing central government, had a hard time getting up control back in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, were local autonomy was to be given to ethnic minorities and similar to East Turkestan and Outer Mongolia, the Chinese Communists under Mao would use this move to set up their own Moscow backed Inner Mongolian People’s Republic and the Manchurian People’s Republic alike. First tensions then came when Stalin intended to give Inner Mongolia to the Mongolian People’s Republic and secure Manchuria as the Manchurian People’s Republic, while Mao Zedong himself opposed this idea and hoped for a united Chinese People’s Republic, engulfing all of Greater China under the Chinese Communist Party. Korea in the meantime was to be remaining united and independent, but just like in other places, Stalin claimed to have little control over local Communist forces and guerrillas overall, which was a lie in most of this chases. Japan itself was also remaining unified and the Soviets would gain the northern Islands, but not End up in occupation zones. Because of that Stalin either encouraged local Communist rebels and guerillas to take over violently, but at the same time offered a different solution.

The United Nations should neutralize these occupied and contested countries trough what Stalin called a guided democracy for the former Axis Powers and their allies across the globe. Under it a certain percentage of their local governments (25%) would go automatically to the Socialists/ Communists and an equal amount to the Liberal Democratic parties to prevent a majority and rise of a fascist, nationalist regime ever again in these countries, at least until they would be thoughtfully thanks to education, propaganda and a new generation freed from all remnants of nationalism, fascism, imperialism and monarchism. Secretly however Stalin had ordered local left-wing parties, guerrillas and rebels to take up arms and take the contested countries trough means of force, should the West not neutralize them now, so the Communists could take them over from the inside later on. In the Philippines local nationalists, the independence movement and the Americans meanwhile after the chaos and collaboration of the Japanese occupation and war had agreed to follow the slower American plan, so that the Philippines would be rebuild and stabilized as a republic before gaining true independence. In Indochina meanwhile the nations of Annam (ethnically Vietnamese, Tribal Mon-Khmeer, Yao/ Man, as well as minor tribes and ethnics), Cambodia (ethnically Cambodian some Laotians), Cochinchina (ethnically Mon-Khmer, Vietnamese, Tribal Mon-Khmer), Laos (Lao/Tai, tribal Tai and tribal Mon-Khmer) and Tonking (ethnically Vietnamese, Tribal Tai, Muong and Yao/ Man),gained full independence and became the newest nation states to join the League of Nations. While the French withdrawal cost unrest in Mainland France and unpopularity for de Gaulle and other projects of his like a more united Europe, it strengthened local nationalist and monarchist factions against socialist and communist rebels, like the Indochinese Communist Union Forces under Ho Chi Minh. In the Dutch East Indies, the Dutch gave all control to the Republic of Indonesia and like in Indochina, the local, from the European Colonialists freed, but American and European support backed Nationalist governments and even authoritarian dictatorships and tyrannies just as long as they keep socialists and communists out of power there. The former Italian Colonies, or occupied territories also had to be dealt with. Abyssinia (Ethiopia) was given independence once more, but the question remained if Libya (Tripolitania and Cyrenaica), Eritrea and Somalia should get independence as well and if Eastern, ethnic Somalian Ethiopia should be returned to Abyssinia/ Ethiopia, or given to an independent, or British United Nations mandate of Greater Somalia.

 

[CountofDooku]

Italian Libya was divided into Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, both Untied Nations Mandates until they would be fully build up as nation states while Greater Abyssinia/ Ethiopia was given most of former Italian East Africa, bur with immense internal Autonomy for the provinces of Eritrea and Greater Somalia. Meanwhile under what Stalin would call Guided Democracy (GD) was introduced into Germany, Austria and Japan, as well as Persia to keep these countries from becoming hot zones of a yet Cold War, but to also ensure de-nazification, the End of fascism and monarchism in these areas and build up new democratic republics, which the Eastern Comintern believed would trough elections become more socialist and communist and the Western Allies believed would become more democratic, republican and capitalist. While Korea was officially not part of the Guided Democratic Nations (GDN) which were kind of United Nation Mandates, it maintained it’s occupation zones. Meanwhile in the German Soviet occupation zone, Stalin ordered the dismantling of all heavy industries and much of the infrastructure, in the hopes of making Germany a more agrarian nation state, unable to threaten it’s neighbors ever again, similar to the Morgenthau-Plan, while also using these materials and riches to rebuild the war-thorn Soviet Union. At the same time German Parties, who had in unitary of majority voted in favor of the Ermächtigungsgesetz (Enabling Act) that had allowed the Nazi rise to authoritarian power and dictatorship were outlawed under the new German laws that forbid every Nazi organization, party, movement, or those closely collaborating with these organizations.

This included the NSDAP, the Nazi Party itself (which would be attempted to be replaced by right-wing Germans with the Socialist National Party of Germany/ Sozial Nationalistische Deutsche Partei), the Catholic Centre Party Zentrum (which would be mostly replaced by the Christian German Party/ Christdeutsche Partei), the DNVP (which would be mostly replaced by the German People’s National Party, Deutsche Volksationale Partei, DVNP), the BVP (Bavarian People’s Party, which would be mostly replaced by the Bavarian Free State Party, BFP), the DstP (which would be mostly replaced by the State Party of Germans, Staatliche Partei der Deutschen), the CSVD (which would be mostly replaced by the Social Christian Party of Germany, Socialchristliche Partei Deutschlands, SCPD), the DVP (which would be mostly replaced by the People’s Party of Germany, Volkspartei Deutschlands, VPD), the Landbund (which would be mostly replaced by the German Land Partei, Deutsche Land Partei) and the DBP (which would be mostly replaced by the Farmers Party of Germany/ Bauern Partei Deutschlands, BPD, later splitting into it’s more center-right original and the more center-left PDB, Party of German Farmers/ Partei Deutscher Bauern).

Only the Socialdemocratische Partei Deutschlands/ Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands/ Communist Party of Germany (KPD), beside some minor ones, or the former larger ones, renaming, re-branding and reorganizing under Guided Democracy survived in Germany and partial in Austria, which was why the Western Allies and Capitalsit Powers feared a left-wing election victory and Germany, Austria and other places falling to the Soviet Union in the next elation, leading to them hastily aiding the other local parties to reorganise and even partial help coordinate and finance their election campaigns in the sectors they themselves controlled, while in the Soviet Zone most beside the SPD/KPD were not allowed to make any election campaigns and both would in local cities and provinces form a coalition government known as the new Socialist-Communist Unity Party of Germany/ Soczialistisch-Kommunistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands (SKED). While not supported by western German SPD and KPD local party groups, their own dependence on Soviet Union and East Block support meant they also did not outright oppose this coalition, leading to a new strong Socialsit-Communsit-Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist German Party in the east.

In Japan meanwhile the question arose if the End of the Japanese Empire not only meant the End of State-Shinto, but what position the Japanese nation and state should have in the future regarding the national religion of Shintoism. With this the question also arose about the Japanese Emperor itself, previously believed to be a living god, or at least a descendant of one. At the same time the support of the United Nations for the Greek Government in Athens meant that the British, who aided the Greek monarchy and nationalists on the ground against the Communist Guerrilla in the northern mountains had further legitimacy in the eyes of the world, which would allow for it to get more backing from London with additional forces, as well as having other member states of the United Nations help finance the conflict, the Royal Greek National Army (RGNA) and the British Forces in Greece (BFG) themselves to win the war and end the conflict within the next years. At the same time, not quit satisfied with the growths of socialist and communist movements within the efficiently neutralized guided democracies around the globe, Stalin instructed local communist parties, movement and forces to aid local independence and nationalist groups to proclaim their own nation states, which effectively would be puppets of the Soviet Union. Among those were the so called Ainu People’s Republic in former northern Japan, the island of Hokkaido, with Sapporo as it’s capital, as well as the Manchurian People’s Republic in former Manchuria, much to the dismay of the Chinese and their government and leaders, like Chiang, Mao and Wang. Of the overall 43,000,000 people living in the Manchurian People’s Republic, ironically only 2,800,000 real Manchu arrived, as the original Manchufication of Han Chinese under the Qing Dynasty had long reversed with the Han Chinese in modern times making up the majority. In the Ainu People’s Republic things looked similar, with around 20,000 Ainu living on the island 3,700,000 people living in the island, meaning ethnic Japanese made up the majority, even if Russian estimates assumed around 200,000 ethnic Ainu might live on the island, having been Japanized over time by the Imperial Japanese Regime.

 

[CountofDooku]

Partially influenced in their decision by the Americans and British, who backed them against growing Soviet Communist influence in Asia, the Japanese Republic was allowed to keep State-Shinto, which remained the Japanese national state religion, but the Emperor himself was only kept as a religious symbol, completely disconnected from any real power. Still because of that he became a prominent figure for both radical theocratic religious elements, imperial monarchist and ethnic nationalist groups alike in the Japanese Home Islands during the Cold War. At the same time Joseph Stalin could proclaim some diplomatic and foreign relation victories, first with the implementing of guided democracy, which gave socialist-communist parties a fixed guaranteed influence, no matter their actual support in the population, then trough the creation of the Ainu People’s Republic and the Manchu People’s Republic, nation states with so small own populations and economies, they depended on survival on Soviet Union aid, which meant Stalin and the Soviet Union would gain massive influence over their external and internal politics and decisions, or otherwise would abandon them to Han Chinese (Manchuria) and Japanese (Hokkaido) claims on their territory and nation as a whole. While the Nazi Party, as well as aiding, supportive close tied organizations are outlawed and Nazi German War Criminals trialed in Germany, the General Confederation of Labour is founded in Argentina and the Indonesian People’s Army, as well as the Indonesian Socialist Party (ISP) and the Indonesian Communist Party (ISC) try to create a more left-leaning Indonesian People’s Republic, but their supposed coup leads to a purge by the military against them, so that the United Republican States of Indonesia (URSI) establish their own New Order of Guided Democracy under Koesno Sosrodihardjo (Sukarno) and Mohammad Hatta and create their own local ideal and ideology, Nasakom (Nasionalisme/National-Agama/ Religion-Komunisme/ Communism) in an attempt to blend Javanese Nationalism, Islam and Communism into one inside a unitarian authoritarian presidential republic. During their so called Indonesian Socialist-Communist Purge, or Indonesian Mass Killings between half a million to two million people would die.

While the last Japanese soldiers surrender to the Allies on Taiwan, securing the island for the Nationalist Chinese Kuomintang by doing so on the long run, the Indian Republic/ Republic of India officially joins the United Nations as it’s newest member. Some Indians still believe former British Raj could stay a united, strong South Asian country and nation state, but the All-Indian Muslim League (AIML) under Muhammad Ali Jinnah, fearful after the Indian Hindu Nationalist Swadeshi Movement feared a dominance of Indian Hindu over their own people as a minority in such a nation state and therefore preferred the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim Nation State of their own. Because of his recent success meanwhile and because relations with the Chinese Communists and their Chinese Soviet Republic/ Chinese People’s Republic had already soured over the annexation of large parts of Inner Mongolia into the Mongolian People’s Republic, as well as the independence of the Manchurian People’s Republic, Stalin now tried to cement his hold on Outer China compared to China Proper (and therefore his control over much of Central Asia and the Far East) by getting the United Nations to recognize the independence of the East Turkestan People’s Republic as well. The East Turkestan People’s Republic had already shortly existed as an Islamic breakaway nation known as the Turkic Islamic Republic of East Turkestan/ East Turkestan Republic in western Xinjiang (East Turkestan) and had the support of many Turkic, Uighur, Kazakh and Kirghiz ethnic people and local religious Muslims when the Uyghur Separatist Ili Rebellion was backed by the Soviet Union as the so called Second East Turkestan Republic/ East Turkestan United People's Republic. At the same time the Mongolian People’s Republic annexation parts of the totally claimed land of Inner Mongolia and made preparation to invade the rest of it to annex it as well. Both the Kuomintang Nationalist and the Chinese Communist Party protested, but it was undeniable the Soviet Union had the support of the majority of the ethnic groups living in Xinjiang Province with the exception of the local Han Chinese minority, which the local Turkic, Uighur, Kazakh and Kirghiz ethnic people claimed to be colonial imperialists. At the same time the Western Allies alongside the Chinese United Coalition Government warned Stalin and the Soviet Union to outright annex the East Turkestan, Mongol and Manchurian People’s Republic as Soviet Socialist Republics into the Soviet Union.

Fate of the Second East Turkestan Republic/ East Turkestan United People's Republic vote here!

 

[CountofDooku]

 

[CountofDooku]

After the vote of the local population the Second East Turkestan Republic/ East Turkestan United People’s Republic was fully recognized as an independent nation state with all it’s claims. While the Alleid forces tested captured A4/ V2 rockets the trial against Nazi’s their supporters, sympathizers, collaborators and all organizations linked to them across former Nazi occupied Europe began. Not only were former Nazi organizations and those aiding and supporting them banned, captured leaders of theirs like Pierre Laval, Vidkun Quisling and many others are trialed and either imprisoned for life, or sentenced to death. To overlook that despite all things done by the Nazi’s their supporters and sympathizers these trials, as well as others are fair, the United Nations UN International Court of Justice, or World Court is founded to not only trial such dictators, tyrants and war criminals who had done crimes against humanity, but to also overlook that courts in it’s member nations are fair and just, not like the Nazi Germans internal ones, which had been misused against political enemies. Inside the newly founded United Nations the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Quebec City, is meant to help with food wast and redistribute it, so that food shortages and famines never occur again, not in times of peace and not in times of war.

At the same time the Mongolian people vote for full independence of the Mongolian People’s Republic from China for good and soon the Manchurian and East Turkestan People do the same symbolically to prove to the United Nations that they are independent nation states now, secretly encouraged to do so by Stalin and the Soviet Union. For the first time Woman can vote in the French Legislative Election, something soon spreading trough most of Europe and later the World. After some resistance and debate, with all support and supplies from Japan ended the Japanese forces in Formosa/ Taiwan finally surrender to the Allies, who give back the island under Chinese jurisdictions for the Republic of China. In Indonesia members of the Indonesian National Revolution attack British and Dutch civilians after British and Dutch forces had left the nation state in a radical attempt to get rid of all remaining Europeans, as well as colonial and imperial remnants from before their independence. Besides American and Europeans, Chinese foreigners, influential especially in Indonesian trade are also persecuted by radical Javanese Indonesian movements, terror groups and mobs. The Chinese recently opposing to the United Nations that had accepted the liberty of East Turkestan, Mongolia and Manchuria, as well as their own vote in percentage of their overall population in regulars to the overall world population now suddenly calls for a UN assurance of American, Chinese and European civilians and citizens in Indonesia, a notion in which they are supported by the Americans, British and Dutch. At the same time the former British Raj/ British India hopes to join the United Nations as a undivided nation state and it’s newest member.

The United Nations International Court of Justice was decided to look and judge over international law and order, as well as to rule and oppose to outright injustice and misjudgment of member nations, in a way that those effected could apply to it to have a United Nations legally binding judgment spoken atop of the previous one, no matter to what outcome the UN International Court of Justice might come. Meanwhile in Indonesia, the UN was sending Peacekeeping Forces to ensure the protection of all citizens there, something the newly independent Nationalist Indonesian government did not seam to keen upon doing itself. Most effected by their own citizens and at the same time also most capable themselves, the Americans, British, Chinese and Dutch were sending peacekeeping forces. Those however were nearly outright attacked by nationalist Indonesian Civilians wherever they landed and even by Indonesian Army and Navy forces, after the Indonesian government claimed the UN had allowed them to reclaim their colonial empires and subdue the Indonesian people once more as a colony. At the same time the non-Javanese, non-Muslim part of Eastern Indonesia used the distraction and conflict to proclaim their independence, claiming violence against American, Chinese and European foreigners were just the beginning and that the Nationalist Indonesian Javanese Muslims would target their animist, christian and ethnic minority regions next, if they were given the chance, so independence and liberty would be their only chance of survival, peace and prosperity. With the acceptation of a majorly Hindu/ Hindi Inda and a major Muslim Pakistan in Southeast Asia out of British India/ British Raj, there now was even precedence for such a move by the United Nations itself. The independence of Burma, India/ Hindia and Pakistan however was not without local ethnic and religious clashes, conflicts and riots between both groups over which land should be given to whom and at the same time Animists, Ahmadists, Christians, Hindu and Sikh in Pakistan, as well as Christian, Buddhists, Sikhs and Muslims in India, especially in the Nothwest and Northeast lead to claims and protests of local groups that Punjab as a Sikh State, Manipour as a Christian one and others like Sind, Dravidia and so on should have their own local freedom, liberties and independence, either as autonomous provinces or full nation states. All of that while not even the question of princely states was truly fixed in general with many Hindu and Muslim ones remaining isolated inside of the other religions India or Pakistan.

While the International Labour Organization is founded and soon attacked for close ties with socialist and even communist parties and Labour Unions, Columbia joins the United Nations. In Indonesia, British and Dutch fight Indonesian Nationalists, partial paramilitary, partial joined by the Indonesian Army in the Battle of Surabaya killing between 8,000 and 16,000 during the urban fighting in around three days of heavy fighting, resulting in voices by some that foreign, Non-Indonesian forces should leave the Indonesian National People’s Republic immediately. In Manchuria, the Chinese Nationalist Kuomintang tries to retake the provinces from Chinese Communist control. Meanwhile the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission tries to overlook and redirect nuclear fusion research into a more peaceful route. The bringing of Nazi scientists to America to help with research sparkes outrage ans some Untied Nations members instead call for these people to be trialed by the UN for their war crimes. Simultaneously the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is founded in London. In Northern Persia, the Tudeh party forms the Azerbaijan People’s Republic within the Iranian nation, supported by Soviet Troops who claim the local independence vote after the bloodless coup is legit. The question is if the Untied Natiosn accept the new nation state, ir if it will unite with the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic that is part of the Soviet Union. While the Nuremberg trials against 22 major Nazi War Criminals in the Palace of Justice begin, the US Ambassador in China Patrick Hurley claims the recent actions in Manchuria hace sparked mistrust between Chiang Kai-sheck and Mao Tse-tung, that could lead to the breakup of the Chinese Untied Government and a return of the Chinese Civil War. Meanwhile young Pakistan and Persia face problems with the 1945 Balochistan earthquake that causes a tsunami and kills around 4,000 people. Marshal Tito as president of the Federal Republics of Yugoslavia meanwhile claims neutrality between West and East and intensifies his armed conflict against Communist Rebels in the Eastern Mountain Ranges.

The United Nations decided that the various religious and ethnic minorities in the former British Raj/ British India would be allowed full independence and provincial autonomy, whichever they would choose. Most would choose to do so, others remained with India and Pakistan fearing the other, or a third nearby nation state and power, might invade and annex them if they were to small or weak, or hat pro-Capitalist and pro-Communist guerrilla forces might topple their government, if they lacked the means to defend themselves from such threats on their own. Doing so also created a whole mess of enclaves and enclaves, new trade borders that would limit and decrease overall travel and trade in between the formerly under the British untied regions and lead to economic problems that various pro-Western and pro-Eastern groups attempted to use for their own benefit to overthrow a disliked government, or get their own ethnic and religious faction to gain the power in these nation states. With local political, ethnic and religious rivalries, political movements and parties, quit a few borders were closed between several of these new nation states, even further decreasing overall trade, transportation and travel between them all, as some of the roads and railways needed to pass trough several of the now independent, new nation states to reach their overall destinations, or vital harbor cities. This increased overall shortages in needed resources, goods, food, or even workforce that now no longer could travel from the place they lived in, to the place they worked in, or vice versa. Meanwhile in Indonesia, the Chinese, Dutch, British and Indian intervention peacekeeping forces, were replaced by more mixed UN ones, but this only resulted in an even more fierce and escalating Indonesian National Resistance against this invasion forces, as they were viewed and to the vote by the majorly non-Javanese, non-Muslim part of Eastern Indonesia to outright apply membership at the UN as the independent East Indonesian Republic. In Persia meanwhile the Azerbaijan People’s Republic announced independence, led by the Tudeh Party had no overwhelming simple majority and so the two sides prepared to retake the region militarily (Persia), or to set up local defenses and an independent nation state administration (Azerbaijan People’s Republic), which at the same time alienated the Communist Party of Persia (CPP) from the Soviet Union backing this move to break up their country and nation state of a potential future Persian People’s Republic (PPP). At the same time the UN response to the 1945 Baluchistan Earthquake and Tsunami was rather fast, but not as efficient, as it could have been, since the breakup of India and Pakistan crippled much of the eastern supply routes with border skirmishes and closed roads as a result of that, while the western Pakistan routes and the Baluchistan own ones from the ports at the coast, like the Oman owned port of Gwadar. New Baluchistan independence and autonomy did at the same time not aid the locals in settign up a working infrastructure and government to coordinate it all, but Baluchistan Nationalists had other priorities at the moment.

Ainu and Japanese Socialists and Communists taking over control of Sapporo and the Hokkaido People’s Republic

In their majority the United Nations voted to accept the independence of East Indonesia, with only the Javanese Muslim Indonesian Republic (known from now on as Javanese Indonesia, Muslim Indonesia, Islamic Indonesia, or West Indonesia) as well as fellow independent Muslim/ Islamic Nation States and Groups voting, or voicing their opinion against East Indonesia becoming independent, a situation that would later happen nagain in North Sudan/ South Sudan/, Cyprus and a few other places like Nigeria. At the same time the Indonesian resistance against United Nation Forces send to keep the riots, uprising and violence against local minorities like the British, Dutch, Americans and Chinese in line was spilling over into British Malaya, were some Malayans and Javanese wished to unify their countries ether as Greater Malaysia or Greater Indonesia, threatening to escalate the conflict and also one day spread over into other neighboring countries, like Eastern Indonesia again. Meanwhile Josef Stalin and the Soviet Union were conflicted over their part of northern Japan, were like in the Kurlian Islands and Sakhalin the Ainu, now free from Imperial Japanese rule and cultural and religious assimilation were heavily supportive of the Communists, but were such a small minority, no one outright wanted to declare the Ainu People’s Republic, in fear they might alienate most Japanese on Hokkaido itself, and also loose the chance to proclaim a much more important Japanese People’s Republic later on. As a result of that the People’s Republic of Hokkaido, with the capital Sapporo, found itself in a strange place, not knowing exactly if they now were an Ainu People’s, Japanese People’s or Federated Hokkaido People’s Republic to be honest. In the rest of the world meanwhile Eurico Dutra becomes the new elected president of Brazil and the French nationalize the banks of Banque de France, BNCI, CNEP, Crédit Lyonnais, and Société Générale. In Athens Communist demonstrate against the Greek Civil War, sure that fighting no longer will bring them victory, which was why many of the Greek Communist Party and the Greek Socialist Party now seek more peaceful means to come to power. One day later the United States, thanks to a vote of the US Senate of 65 to 7 approves joining of the United Nations and officially does so. In the span of a week, famous and infamour US General George Patton is involved in a car accident in Germany, which injuries will kill him before the End of the months, while some conspiracy groups make the remnant leftover Nazi-supporters (Werewolf), or Communist Guerrillas responsible for the attack on the high ranking US General, in an attempt of the left and right-wing factions to blame the other. At the same time the United Nations vote about the question, if a World Bank should be establish to regulate international finances, transactions and exchange rates of currencies.

 

[CountofDooku]

The United Nations decision to establish a World Bank they would support to regulate and control international finances, transactions and exchange rates of currencies would be the first one to be voted on without any opposition to it at all. Shortly after the Western Allied Nations recognized the Austrian Republic in it’s 1937, while the eastern Communist Nations did the same, but did so for what they called the Austrian People’s Republics to legitimate the socialist and communist forces in the Austrian nation state. With radar bouncing off the Moon, Project Diana manages to calculate the exact distance between Earth and the Moon, while also proving communications from Earth into Space might be possible, opening the doors for the coming Space Age. The People’s Republic of Albania is declared by Enver Hoxha, who declared himself it’s prime minister and head of state. A weak later Charles de Gaulle head of the French provisional government resigns, while the United Nations Security Council holds its first meeting at Church House, Westminster in London. A few days later, General Dougles MacArthur starts the International Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo to trial Japanese war criminals. A day later Charles de Gaulle further resigns as the president of France. Similar to the Azerbaijan People’s Republic, Oazi Muhammad, leader of the Iranian Kurds, declares the Republic of Mahabad, or Kurdish (People’s) Republic on Chahar Cheragh Square in the city of Mahabad, hoping for support from the Soviet Union and the rest of the United Nations, while at the same time the National Intelligence Authority and its operational branch, the Central Intelligence Group, the later Central Intelligence Agency are formed. While the League of Nations Permanent Court of International Justice holds it’s last session to be replaced by the United Nations International Court of Justice, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia adopts a constitution modeled after the Soviet Union, to grand it’s six constituent republics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia equal rights and voices to keep Yugoslavia more united and cooperative then it had been in-between the wars in hopes this could help heal the wounds of infighting of various ethnic and religious rebel, partisan and resistance groups that had occurred during the Second World War.

 

[CountofDooku]

With the independence of the Azerbaijan People’s Republic and the Republic of Mahabad, or Kurdish (People’s) Republic, which become Soviet Union influenced, the Soviet relations to both Turkey and Persia deteriorate and leat to the two countries and nation states to become much closer to the Western Powers of Europe and the Americans ever since. While the Norwegian Trygve Lie becomes the United Nations Secretary-General, Hungary officially ends it’s kingdom and instead becomes a People’s Republic, supposedly on the will of the Hungarian people, but secretly heavily guided and influenced by the Soviet Union. Shortly after the Gouzenko Affair reveals that communist spies in the Soviet embassy in Ottawa had smuggled atomic bomb secrets to Russia, violating previous agreements and treatments about the neutral, peaceful use of atomic energy, leading to several protests by other members of the Untied Nations. As a result of that the same day that Juan Perón becomes the newly elected president of Argentina, the United Nations debates how far the Soviet Union can be trusted with nuclear energy, now that they had gained access on how to create nuclear atomic bombs similar to the American ones.

 

[CountofDooku]

The Question of the usage of Nuclear Energy and the power of the Nuclear Bomb shown, the most devastating weapon ever created by Mankind, had lead to the United Nations having a series of discussions and topic on the issue in general, with the overall census, that the United Nations themselves would keep a close eye on the Soviet Union, as well as other nuclear programs around the world, including the one the United States of America had with the intention to promote and support a civil energy usage of the technology, but no overall usage as weapons of mass destruction. Ironically this was one of the therms the United States of America and the Soviet Union itself. At the same time the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission (UNAEC), created to deal with the problems raised by the discovery of atomic energy made a series of proposals. First that scientific discoveries should be shared on the terms of peaceful use, to prevent accidents and dangers, second to control Atomic energy in a way it’s peaceful use would be guaranteed, third to prevent any national armament of atomic weaponry and to have all weapons of mass destruction be destroyed, last to control and ensure that the states complying would not violate and bypass any of this ideas. Agreeing to the overall control, the General Assembly and the Security Council then were shocked, when the United States representative to the Commission, Bernard Baruch presented the so called Baruch Plan. The United States, at the moment the only nation with atomic bombs, would destroy their atomic arsenal under the condition that the UN imposed controls of atomic development could not be subject to any United Nations Security Council veto and that the UN would strictly control and trough sanctions and other means ensure no other country would ever be capable of producing atomic weapons arsenal and use the atom energy for anything else then peaceful means. While the plan was overall passed, the Soviet Union did no agree to it and remained absent in the proposal to the Security Council. Some therefore believed the Soviet union played for time, until they themselves would have perfected a means to create an atomic bomb, a moment upon which the United States no longer would get rid of their own arsenal. The question now was if this Jinn could be forced back into the bottle or not.

 

[CountofDooku]

While the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission decided upon a solely peaceful use of atomic energy, even if some Americans and Chinese, as well as some Japanese argued the dropping of two bombs had shortened the Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War significiantly and overall saved many lives otherwise lost from continued fighting in China, Southeast Asia, or the Invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. Without an overall ban of atomic power and energy in general, both militarily and civil, the Americans agreed to give up their own nuclear arsenal, under the condition the Soviet Union’s nuclear program would be United Nations (inclusion American observers) controlled. To this Stalin objected, as well as other high-ranking Soviet Union government and military leaders, claiming the Capitalist Imperialists of the United States could use such opportunity to sabotage them and should instead give up their own arsenal right now, instead of waiting for UN control of Soviet Nuclear Energy and use, while at the same time demanding on the basis of transparency and fairness that Soviet observers would be allowed in United States nuclear facilities to ensure the Americans were not secretly continuing to build more bombs, which naturally the Americans opposed. At the same time neither side seamed to truly trust a UN observer control without their own observers be part of such a procedure it seamed.

In the meantime, according to treaties, British withdraw their last troops from Persia, something the Soviet Union refuses to do equally from Northern Persia under the claim that doing so would threaten the independence of the local Azerbaijan and Kurdish People’s Republics. Meanwhile Ho Chi Minh is elected leader of the Communist Party of Indochina (CPI), an umbrella organization for communist and socialist parties in Annam, Cambodia, Cochinchina, Laos and Tonking who wish to eliminate the local aristocratic monarchic, democratic republican and capitalist rule to establish local ethnic people’s republics of their own and in the dreams of Ho Chi Minh, a united Indochinese People’s Union (IPU) to better defend themselves against influence from the Kuomintang lead Nationalist Chinese Republic. Three days later Churchill says in a speech at Westminster College that an Iron Curtain is faling over Soviet Union Controlled Eastern Europe, South Asia and East Asia. Less then a week after his announcement as Chairman, Leader and President of the CPI and IPU, Ho Chi Minh leads guerrilla forces to attack government and military facilities in Tonking and Annam were his supporter and militia base is strongest, while Cambodia and Cochinchina only has a minor militia force operating within, cut off from the rest and Laos remain unaffected for now at least. So while Reunion, Martinique, Guadalupe and Guinea become overseas departments of France and the United Kingdom grants the British Protectorate that was the Emirate of Transjordan independence, hoping that local Arab and Jewish populations would coexist in the Western and Eastern parts, the War in Indochina starts.

In the Indochina War the United Nations attempted to find a peaceful solution between both sides and to ensure exactly that mixed UN forces were send to aid the local French forces, as the British and Dutch were still fighting in Indonesia, but at the same time not all former Japanese Garrison forces returned, as the local governments tried to enlist some as mercenaries and others stayed behind joining the Guerrilla forces uprising against them and the return of European rule, just like some had done in Indonesia, so that while Japan was defeated, so would be the former European Colonial Empires the Japanese had tried to take over. At the same time the reluctance of the USA and the SU to allow UN inspectors to overview their nuclear programs became more and more diplomatic problematic, the more other nations interested in the technology and using in according to the regulation put diplomatic and partial even economic pressure onto them. Reluctantly the United States and the Soviet Union would ultimately agree later on and at least also accept their own allies, who were UN members to serve as UN inspectors of their nuclear facilities. Meanwhile the Aleute Islands were struck by an Earthquake and the Malayan Union formed, as the trade city of Singapore became a cronw colony of the British Empire. Meanwhile in the Philippines the Japanese Lt. General Masaharu Homma is executed as the one responsible for the Bataan Death March. Malta received a tragedy when an Air Arm Fleet collided above a residential area, killing crew members and a dozen civilians on the ground alike. For the first time the Japanese Republic, following the northern Hokkaido “Japanese-Ainu” People’s Republic who had done so a months earlier, women were allowed to vote for the first time in elections for the House of Representatives and the Imperial Diet, the People’s Diet in Hokkaido.

At the same time members of the Nakam, the Jewish Avengers managed to poison food supplies in Nuremberg and kill of a large portion of a SS Prisoner of War Stalag XIII-D, resulting in some investigation, but the majority of the group had already left Germany when concrete clues were analyzed. Meanwhile Syria, meaning Greater Syria, including Lebanon gains independence from France and hopes to be officially recognized by the United Nations, something the United States and the Soviet Union out compete with each other to do, so to start good relations with newly independent nation states the first and sway them into a more Western Capitalist, or Eastern Communist direction. With the establishment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and other United Nations Organizations formally, the League of Nations finally hold’s it’s last meeting and disbands itself, transferring it’s mission to the United Nations in hopes it would handle things in the future better then the League of Nations had done before. The Unites States meanwhile recognized Josip Broz Tito’s government over all of Yugoslavia, quickly followed by other Western Powers like Britain and France, to completely break the Yugoslavian United People’s Republics out of the Eastern Block, away from Stalin’s Moscow and Soviet Union influence by doing so, which results in Stalin secretly increasing support for the local Socialist and Communist anti-Serbian rebel cells inside of Yugoslavia. Meanwhile the Swiss establish Pestalozzi Children's Village (Kinderdorf Pestalozzi) as a means to house and educate orphans of the Second World War according to Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi’s principles. Shortly after the Tokyo War Trials for crimes in the Chinese, Asian and Pacific Theatre of the Second World War begin, accusing especial the Imperial Japanese Military leadership, like Hideki Tojo, Shigenori Togo and Hiroshi Oshima.

With Syria being accepted as the newest member of the United Nations, it was agreed upon that if any ethnic and religious minorities wished to become independent in the future, they should be allowed to do so. This included the Southwestern Christian Levantines and Shia Lebanese of Lebanon, but also the Alawite Western Mediterranean coastline, the Druze South and toher non Arab Syrian and non Sunni. While in Australia 800 Indigenous Aboriginal pastoral workers begin one of the longest industrial strikes of Australia's history in Northwest Western Australia and are soon supported by socialist, communist and trade union movements and parties, Japan sees the foundation of Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering (later Sony), while in Italy, the abdication of King Victor Emmanuel III and his son Umberto II sees the end of aristocracy and monarchy to transition from the dark fascist and nationalist past truthfully in a more democratic and republican future in which socialist and communist movements, parties and trade unions would dominate the industrial northern Po Valley. In the United States advanced Nazi weaponry, like the V2 is tested, often with fled Nazi Scientists accompanying them. Weaponized and civil use of Atomic energy meanwhile gets more fearful traction when Dr Louis Slotin of the Manhattan Project triggers the reactor fusion by accident and nearly leads to a catastrophe on the Los Alamos National Laboratory. While he can save his coworkers from worse, Slotin himself suffers a lethal dose of hard radiation, proving the danger of the new energy and powers of fusion even without direct military use. Transjordania becomes a Hashemite Kingdom under King Amir Abdullah in the Treaty of London and a Jewish Hebrew Settler Republic, separating both country half's into autonomous regions or provinces to administrate themselves in hope of ending Arab-Israeli, Jewish-Mohammedan (later officially in the United Nations so called Muslim, or Islamic) tensions and rivalries in within Transjordania. Shortly after elections in Czechia and a week later Slovakia see the Socialist and Communist Parties emerging as the strongest factions to take power and abolish overall elections with their local United People’s Government Coalition shortly after, before the voters could oppose the Eastern Block in later elections and wish for participating in the later Marshall Plan and other pro Western coalitions, alliances and trade agreements. Fearful of the self-proclaimed Communist People’s Republic of Greece/ the Greeks the so called Kingdom of Hellas is proclaimed in the South and Greece celebrates is return to monarchy and nationalism (the regaining of Greek ethnic regions from Albania and Bulgaria after the Second World War and their own claims on Albania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey for irredentism ethnic Greek regions).

Rivalries between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots lead to the question if Cyprus should become independent and if such a Cyprus would be a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the decolonized, former British Empire. Especially now that King Paul of Greece had held a referendum with support of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus and the Greek Cypriots, who were in their majority (97%) in favor of a union with Greece. Any vote however was immensely opposed by the Turkish Cypriot group and the Republic of Turkey alike, as the Greek Cypriots outnumbered them 5:1 or 6:1, so any voted on decision would automatically be in their favor. As a result a personal union with both Greek and Turkey was proposed by some, as well as the possibility of a completely neutral Cyprus and even a division of Cyprus in a Greek and a Turkish half, which however had the problem, that both groups were living all over the island and not in specific areas and regions. Meanwhile Ion Antonesco, Conductor (Leader) and Prime Minister of Romania during the Second World War was sentenced to death by the Bucharest People’s Tribunal in the new socialist and communist nation state. In Indochina meanwhile the communist Viet Minh tries to resist the newly independent national governments backed by the Republic of China and establish their own Communist Indochinese Union instead as a stronger local nation state. At the same time the Italian referendum and general elections saw Italy turn from a monarchy into a republic, which for the first time allowed women to vote and saw the Christian Democratic Party (CDP) gain most seats in the election, so that their Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi could start an era of Christian Democracy in Italy. As a result of that former King Umberto II of Italy leaved the country to go into exile in Portugal. In Indonesia, president Sukarno meanwhile encourages his supporters to increase the resistance against UN Forces, which mainly consist of Americans, British and Dutch to fight for Indonesian independence and Greater Indonesian rule over all islands. Inside the United States of America meanwhile the War Relocation Authority, administering the internment of Japanese Americans is abolished and gradually the Japanese American’s interned in their camps are released one after another.

The Cyprus Question was ended with a sort of compromise, with the Nation od Cyprus becoming independent, while at the same time it’s Greek Provinces became part of Greece and the Turkish Provinces part of Turkey in provincial personal union. This meant that both Greece and Turkey had a saying in their own ethnic minorities on the islands to safeguard their interests, while at the same time Greek Cypriots could vote in Greek elections and Turkish Cypriots could vote in Turkish elections. At the same time Cyprus also had it’s very own elections and governments, to represent the island as a whole to the outside world, so that no trade and other problems would arise on it. In reality this mean the Greek and Turkish province had not only internal autonomy over most of their internal workings, but also were part of Greece and Turkey, as well as it’s laws and legislation's if they wished to be and accept them. This Cyprus Compromise, as it was called, would lead to further crisis and conflict down the line as Greek and Turkish Nationalistic groups tried to increase their own foothold and influence in the ethnic provinces of Cyprus by actively encouraging more Greek settlers from Greece and Turkish settlers from Turkey to come to the island as they pleased. Knowing how this would further increase instability, the Cypriot Government could do little about is as Greeks could freely travel and settle in the Greek parts and Turkish could freely travel and settle in the Turkish parts. In reality however both would cross over in each others parts with the goal of changing the ethnic makeup of these provinces to their own favor, leading to local clashes, riots and increasing instability and infighting, that threatened to become a nearly Cyprus Civil War situation in the future. On August 4 the Dominican Republic is victim to an Earthquake of magnitude 8.0, that hits the northern part of the country, killing around 100 and leaving 20,000 homeless. On August 7th the Turkish Strait Crisis escalates, as Turkey, neutral during World War Two is pressured by the Soviet Union to accept joint military control of the passage, as the Soviet Union fears a pro-Western Turkey might block of their connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean and the situation escalated as both Turkey and the Soviet Union increase their forces along the Armenian-Georgian border regions between them, were the Armenian SSR and the Georgian SSR demanded their ethnic and hsitoric claimed territories in Turkey. Because of this the Soviet Union immediately supports the Kurdish Democrat Party in Iraqi Kurdistan and encourages it to claim ethnic Kurdish territory in Persia/ Iran, Turkey and Syria with Soviet Union backing, to put increased pressure on Turkey/ Ankara and Persia/ Tehran at the same time, leading in return to Turkish-Persian cooperation against them.

In the Crisis of the Dominican Republic Earthquake, the United Nations send all possible help they could, while in the Turkish Strait Crisis the Turks and therefore an ensured International Neutral Strait was backed, not deescalating the situation overall, but for the moment forcing the Soviet Union to back down for now. On September 2nd the new Indian Interim Government of Jawaharlal Nehru as vice president, begins the official transition from the British Raj to full independence for India and Pakistan. Because of differences between Unionists of both new nation states and immensely rivaling local Pakistani Muslims and Indian Hindus violence erupts in the streets of Bombay and later other places, threatening to escalate in local unrest, civil war, or war between both nations. Bulgaria gets rid of King Simeon II after a referendum, forcing him to leave and declare the Bulgarian People's Republic. On behalf of Winston Churchill, a so called Council of Europe is introduced as an idea to uphold democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Europe among the local nation states. In Australia the federal election of 1946 sees the Labor Government re-elected and George II of Greece returns to Athens as King of a constitutional Monarchy. Meanwhile some, especially from the Eastern Block questioned how the massive influence of companies and conglomerations on governments trough financial and other means could be limited, to lower the influence of non-elected, non-people oriented groups and individuals on politicians and elections, giving worst-chase scenarios from corporate nation states and influences from Nazi Germany to Imperial Japan.

During the increasing ethnic and religious tensions between India and Pakistan, which had turned into violence, the United Nations had decided to send a Peace Keeping Force (PKF) to End the violent conflict and negotiate between both groups. At the same time the Council of Europe, as a means peaceful cooperation throughout Europe was decided to be supported by the United Nations in any way possible. At the same time the neutral International Trade Organization was empowered to serve as a Cooperation and Company de-monopolizing, to prevent financial and influential organizations to take over whole markets and even influence politics and other aspects of life whenever possible. By October 2nd the Communists had completely taken over Bulgaria. Shortly after France forms it’s Fourth Republic, by adopting a new constitution, while a day later the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is created. The next day Herman Göring is found dead in his cell, he had poisoned himself two hours before his scheduled execution. The next day the remaining Nazi War Criminals sentenced to death in the Nuremberg Trials are executed by hanging in the Palace of Justice. Near the End of October, the United Nations General Assembly finds it’s permanent seat in Queens, New York City. The United Nations Peace Keeping Force in India and Pakistan (UNPKFIP) having only shortly arrived in the major cities, attempts to stop the Bihar riots, were in the Indian state of Bihar, a Hindu mob targets Muslim Families, resulting in assumable 200 to 3,000 estimated death overall. In Indonesia a truth is declared between Indonesia Nationalists and the UN Forces in the country, while in Vietnam, riots against French Colonial Rule result in 6,000 dead Vietnamese.
