Our United Nations

[CountofDooku]

The United Nations resolution for the Planned African Decolonization came to the conclusion that the European Colonial and Imperial borders would only create chaos and anarchy, which was why the merging of larger cultural, lingual and religious groups, large enough to form truly functioning nation states was agreed upon by all in the event of African regions becoming independent, which would require a united effort and planning, so the United Nations Ministry for African Decolonization (UNMAD) was formed for this purpose.

The increasing conflict with the Javanese pan-Indonesian Nationalists and the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces in Indonesia, to protect Chinese, European, American and other ethnic and religious minorities in the former Dutch East Indies, led to an overall debate if the mainly native West Papua Guinea/ West New Guinea should remain in Dutch hands until a unified local nation sate would emerge, while the mainly Animist and Christian non-Muslim Eastern Indonesia State of East Indonesia (Negara Indonesia Timur Oost-Indonesië) or to the local natives Negara Timur Raya (the State of the Great East) should with United Nations aid and protection become a completely separated own nation state entirely.

Meanwhile an earthquake in the Ancash Region of the Quiches District in Peru, measuring 7.4 on the Richter magnitude scale kills at least 1,400 people and leaves many more wounded and homeless. The Netherlands agree to watch over West Papua until it forms it’s own independent national identity on behalf of the United Nations, should the General Assembly agree to that proposal. At the same time riots in Haipong Vietnam kill French citizens and settlers there, leading to the retaliation of French local cruisers firing into the city, killing thousands and threatening to create another local conflict. Like in Indonesia it is a question of protecting former European colonists and minority citizens rights in newly liberated nation states, that seams to pop up frequently enough to warrant a United Nations resolution to the problem. Afghanistan, Iceland and Sweden are accepted into the United nations as new member nations. To oppose the in their eyes illegitimate vote over the future of their All Indonesian Nation State, the All Indonesian Javanization Organization (AIJO) is formed to colonize the outer islands of at least Western Indonesia quickly with Javanese Muslims, sparking increasing opposition and unrest in Aceh.

In the chase of the Indonesian Independence Referendum, the members of the League of Nations agreed that the non-Javan, non-Malayan, non-Muslim Eastern Indoensia region should become it’s own Nation State, the State of East Indonesia (Negara Indonesia Timur Oost-Indonesië), or the State of the Great East (Negara Timur Raya), winch would however not include the majorly tribal region of West Papua New Guinea, winch instead should remain a League of Nations, until the local groups had reunited to their own functioning nation state and proclaimed a shared desire to become independent themselves, or join the Eastern part of the island. In chase of the Ancash Peru Earthquake the United Nations decided to send volunteers, medicine and other needed goods to ensure the local survivors will be well cared for. As the result of many growing conflicts in decolonized regions of Southeast Asia, especially India, Indochina and Indonesia, the overall problem of decolonization and local minority rights was addressed and the majority of the United Nations agreed that there was an overall need to protect Colonial and Imperial settlers in former colonies just like any other local citizens to ensure, justice, peace and prosperity. In Mexico, Miguel Alemán Valdés becomes president and the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling is agreed upon and signed. A week later the Winecoff Hotel in Atlanta, the United States burns, killing 119 people.

A few days later the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) is founded, shortly before the United Nations end diplomacy with the last major Fascist/ Nationalist nation in Europe, Franco’s Falangist Spain and advises it’s members to do the same, while in France the socialist parties form a government under Léon Blum. At the same time the Persians/ Iranians send in troops to recapture the Azerbaijan People’s Republic, backed by the overall Red Army Forces nearby, marching onto Mahabad.

A few days later Siam, the later Thailand (1949) joins the United Nations, while in nearby Indochina, especially Vietnam, were Viet Minh and Viet Cong begin to oppose the local government and fight Europeans (especially French) and other local minorities. In Japan 1,362 people are killed during the Nankai earthquake, while the Havana Conference deals with organized US crime bosses in Havana, while the French Fourth Republic is founded. At the same time the Soviet Union builds the first artificial, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction in Europe, the nuclear reactor F-1, while at the End of the months the Proclamation 2714 by U.S. President Harry S. Truman ultimately marks the officially end of hostilities of the Second World War at the End of December.

During the Iranian Crisis of 1946 the United Nations decided to continue to seek a peaceful resolution between the Soviet Union and Iran, without committing military forces. This resulted in Persian/ Iranian forces occupying much of the Azerbaijan People’s Republic, whose government therefore fled northwards to the Azerbaijan SSR, were they would proclaim the Azerbaijan Union and their incorporation into the Soviet Union, to legally prevent Persia from annexing their shortly independent nation state again, while also at the same time the Kurdish People’s Republic further west debated, if they should join the Soviet Union, or like nearby British influenced Iraq use the South Persian British Anglo-Persian Oil Company to secure their independence. While nothing came out of it and the Kurds in opposition to nearby Turks, Iraqi and Persians grew closer to the Soviets with their own Kurdish Socialist Party and Kurdish Communist Party once more, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company aided the Persian Kingdom and Persian Irredentism/ Greater Persian Ambitions against Soviet Growing Influence in the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia. The question was would the situation now escalate or would the backing of the Persians by the British, British Empire, Commonwealth of Nations and it’s Dominions be enough to End the Soviet and Red Army support for the Azerbaijan People’s Republic and resolve the local conflict, war and border tensions, that now also spileld over into Persian Turkestan along the Central Asian Soviet-Persian border. Meanwhile the United Nations was supportive of the United States of America to purchase Greenland, of Denmark was willing to sell it, winch would have allowed the USA to dominate the Arctic Circle and threaten the Soviet Union across the Northern Pole as efficiently, as the Soviet Union could across the region itself. The Danish were offered $100 million and a 99-year land lease was proposed, but while the Danish were open to the decision in 1941 against the German threat, they had not automatically agreed to do the same for the new post-war threat of the Soviet Union.

When the Danish not agreed, the United States claimed infrastructure and military buildup on the island by them during the Second World War had been massive and Denmark now owed US investors $70 million because of that, resulting in the Danish answer that if that was the chase, the overall price for Denmark would be acceptable with $1 billion. Danish trade and resource extraction was also seen as an argument, even if Greenland not contributed anything to the Danish economy and some Danish saw it as a situation similar to Britain and the former British Raj. In the End no purchase was made and instead the American Forces were allowed to stay in exchange for paying the costs of their own operational bases, while also giving the Danish some money in exchange for keeping them operational there, an agreement that would become obsolete later when the North Atlantic Trade Organization had both countries as members. During the Nankai Earthquakes the United Nations helped in any way, shape and form possible. While the United Kingdom in 1946 to 1947 suffered one of it’s worse snowfalls in the 20th century, while the Canadian Citizenship Act allows for a separate Citizenship from the overall British (Imperial) one for the first time.

In Denmakr Prince Gustaf Adolf dies in an aircraft crash, that also kills 21 other people, along them also Grace Moore, an American opera singer. Meanwhile at the End of January, the Communists take full control over the Nation of the Polish People’s Republic and while growing closer ties to the Soviet Union, also claim further westward lands from East Germany in compensation for German War crimes during the Second World War and also for the Polish territories in East Poland that had even after the Second World War remained Soviet Union annexed from the German-Soviet attack and division of Poland that had started the World War in Europe.

The demand of the United Nations to End the Azerbaijan Conflict peacefully, or threaten sanctions, embargo or otherwise punishing those not cooperating. As a results the Persians retreated from the Azerbaijanian People's Republic, winch efficiently remained a part of the Soviet Union, at the same time the Soviet Union had the Turkestan/ Turkmen SSR retreat ouf of Northeastern Persia at the same rate Persians were retreating out of Azerbaijan. With this the Azerbaijan-Persian Crisis as it was called was over for now with both sides backing down. At the same time the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company while still operating in Southern Persia was seeing the retreating of Imperial British Troops protecting the South Iranian Oil Fields from Persia giving over local security to Persian police and army forces, to ensure that the Persian Nation would be more independent and stronger to ensure it could withstand any future Soviet Union aggression better then before. While in the Yukon Territory the lowest ever recorded lowest air temperature in North America is recorded. In Poland Boleslaw Bierut becomes president, while the United Kingdom spends £25 million for the cultivation of peanuts in the Tanganyika territory.

The Paris Treaties from Paris are signed between the Allies of the Second World War and the former Axis Powers of Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Finland, leading to the agreement of Italy to cede Istria to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and bringing Yugoslacia even closer to the Western European and Western Alliance Powers by doing so. While a meteroid hits Sikhote-Alin in the Soviet Union, the Burmese Government and General Aung San reach an agreement with the local ethnic minorities of the Shan, Kachin anc Chin at the Panglong Conference, were U Aung Zan Wai, Pe Khin, Major Aung, Sir Maung Gyi, Dr. Sein Mya Maung and Myoma U Than Kywe negotiate for a Federal Republic of Burma in winch all ethnic and religious groups are fairly represented and live in cooperation and prosperity.

While th Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist use this incident to denounce the legitimacy of the KMT to rule over Formosa/ Taiwan, or the rest of China, some local Native Taiwanese and even Han Chinese disillusion with Chiang, his KMT and the Chinese Mainland Communists and Federalists alike claim before Chinese and Japanese rule the Republic of Formosa as well as formal local Kingdoms to fight for a complete independence from any Mainland control and power on behalf of their very own autonomy and liberty.

As decided by the United Nations the Republic of Formosa was born as native indigenous land of aboriginal Taiwanese people to be governed by themselves in the center and east of the island, while the North and the Southwest, ethnically Taiwanese Hokkien related to the same Chinese Mainland group remained in control of most major port and industrial cities, making Farmosan Republic imports and exports heavily depending on them. At the same time Chiang Kai-Check feared an increasing number of ethnic and religious minorities to be swayed by the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese People’s Republic of the North, which was why he supported autonomy for Turkmen, Uyghur, Mongol, Ma Hui, Tibetan and other regional local minorities in the West and South of China, easing up on previous attempts to get the local Cliques and Warlords to firmly under direct Nanjing control in the hopes that doing so would keep them more inclined to remain with the Nationalist KMT; then the Communists to the North.

In East Africa meanwhile the former Italian Colonies. There Beja becomes independent in East Sudan, Abyssinia/ Ethiopia is reinstalled in ethnic Abyssinian/ Ethiopian lands and the ethnic minorities of the Oromo in the southeast, while the Oromo and the Greater Somalian nation states also become independent nation states of their own. Former French Somaliland meanwhile became the State of Afar and with aid of French Communists in the region. While the Ethiopians opposed the dismantling of their country, the Alleis held control of it since during most of the Second World War when italian East Africa was defeated and in agreement with their own decolonization plans among ethnic lines, aided the local minorities, much to the dismay and opposition of the Ethiopian Empire and Orthodox Ethiopian Chruch who claimed these lands back, even stronger so now that they had fallen under Mohammadan (later Muslim called) and Communist rule in the East. In fact this new reality was the only reason the back-stabbed Ethiopians not outright joined the Communist Block against them, despite being a Christian Empire. In Sicily the local Socialists and Communists attempt to make gains by supporting Salvatore Giuliano and Sicilian Separatists, killing 11 in brutal protests and terror attacks for their cause.

After the World War had broken apart the world, the intentions of the Marshall Plan would not only rebuild war-destroyed Europe, but also bring it closer back together. Sadly for most in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union opposed it immensely, fearing western Capital, Capitalism and over ideology, liberalism, democracy and republicanism would undermine their own Soviet Union and Red Army control over Eastern Europe. In opposition to the so called Marshall Plan, the Soviet Union introduced it’s own Molotov Plan, to provide aid and rebuild the countries and nation states in Eastern Europe, to keep them under influence and control of Moscow, Russia and the Soviet Union for good. This way Soviet Influence and Control in Eastern Europe was cemented, while officially the local socialist and communist nation states and countries did out so out of their own free will, the free will of their government and the free will of their people.

The United Nations while in general support of the Marshall Plan and Molotov Plan to help with the overall buildup of Europe after the Second World War, also gave strict warnings to any attempt by foreign nation to aid and impose unlawful undemocratic regimes of capitalist, communist or other ideological, economical or other system to run the newly liberated nation states and countries, not only to keep them free after they had just been liberated from Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan, but also to place restrictions and international sanctions upon those who would interfere with any such voting rights, or other intervenes into the general functions that the United Nations Security Council would then have to address, which was why the United Nations also hoped to keep the Security Council members, permanent and non permanent basically equally divided between Western Capitalist, Eastern Communist and Neutral members alike.

To further divide themselves from the culture, civilization and religious of their neighbors, the divided South Asian regions would all adopt their own time ones, leading to a time zone mess in Southern Asia. With this on the greater Indian subcontinent, with a mixed population of Hindu, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Zoroasters, Jews, Christians, Muslims and Animists become finally completely independent and are also forced to acknowledge the independence and borders of one another, something the governor-general of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Prime Minister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan and the Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru did not like as their Indian-Hindu and Muslim-Pakistani ambitions are not realized, while Viscount Mountbatten of Burma, Governor-General of India Louis Mountbatten celebrates the treaties as a guarantee that would secure stability and peace in Southern Asia.

At the same time the United Nations had come up with their own version of the Marshall Plan and Milotov Plan, the much more neutral United Nations Plan, which however was opposed by both the United States of America and the Soviet Union and their allies, as ironically to ideologically and political motivated in comparison to their own versions, bu had great success in neutral nations in general and especially the Third World. Originally the Soviet Union wanted to intervene in Hungary, to ensure a loyal Socialist and Communist country there, but direct support for Hungary's decision by the West let fear of another to direct confrontation, like in South Asia and East Asia rise, while it could also alienate other nation states in Eastern Europe at this point, so with heavy diplomatic protest, the Hungarians were allowed to go their own way, for now. While the Agentinian Congress agrees upon Women's suffrage, a first bug in the Harvard Mark II electromechanical computer is caused by a malfunction. Between the carious Indian Subcontinent Nation States, a total of six million people is exchanged, depending on their nationality, ethnicity and religious, as each of the newly independent and partially one another rivaling new nation state in the South Indian Subcontinent.

The speed of sound is broken by United States Air Force test pilot Captain Chuck Yeager flying a Bell X-1 rocket plane for the first time in human history. As a result of the Indian Subcontinent Massacres war breaks out between the various nation states with border clashes and would continue as a regional conflict becoming known as the Indian Subcontinent Wars from 1947 to 1948. As a result of this nearly all local nation states would establish diplomatic relations with one of the two leading major superpowers, the United States of America and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics to get aid and support by them. As the result of the conflict several more national provincial governments set up in the involved nation states supported by the central governments were nationalist ethnic and religious extremist governments took over in wave of the recent escalations, threatening to even endanger the overall situation further.

The riots in Transjordania, also lead to Yemeni Arabs attacking Mizrahi Jews in Aden, while in Jerusalem the local riots and unrest are ended after the United Nations Partition Plan for Transjordania. It is decided that Transjordan will be divided into a Jewish and Arab nation state, each with their own local autonomy and parliament, but that they will have a customs union between them and also share foreign policy as a confederation of their two equal member states, divided by the River Jordan. Regional parliaments make up local laws and decisions for their two people, while money, a customs union and overall military security against foreign nation states claiming their land in the name of Pan-Arabism are shared. The Jewish, Hebrew and Israeli Parliament is in Tel Aviv, the Arab and Muslim one is in Amman while a shared one meets in Jerusalem as a divided and equally administrated neutral city, with a Jewish West and an Arab East. Here the local Bahai, Christian and Druze minorities are also represented in the neutral Holy City in the so called Council of Jerusalem, made up by a Jewish Israeli, a Transjordan Arab, a Bahai, Christian and Druze representative, who can decide overall Transjordan matters as a council of advisors by majority and also have a veto regarding anything affecting their own ethnic and religious minorities.

But the most significant event in Europe that year is the 1948 Italian General Election, which as the first democratic, universal suffrage one held in Italy and the first one truly after Fascist Rule sees the Popular Democratic Front Communist-Socialist Coalition win over the Christian Democracy Party.

Over the course of this coalition the Italian Monarchy will be completely abolished and outlawed, as will all national and fascist parties, resulting in the creation of the pro-Soviet/ pro-Russian Socialist Italian People’s Republic (SIPR), despite massive attempts to rig the election by the American-backed Christian Democracy groups, which further help to legitimize action against them by the Communist-Socialist Coalition later on. American Propaganda quickly in opposition to that come sup with a propaganda series called the Italian Way, which sees Mussolini Chained to Hitler in the First Image and Palmiro Togliatti alongside Guiseppe Saragat, of the Popular Socialist-Communist Democratic United Front Coalition be chained in a similar matter to Stalin on the Second Image.

Transjordania - Arab War

The Italian Socialist-Communist Coalition as a more pro-Soviet/Eastern Bloc was on the forefront of leading Western Socialists/Communists to distance themselves from the East and pursue their own models better fitting for their Industrial Nations that were so different from the Eastern Agrarian Societies already. A neutral, non-aligned bloc from the Eastern Warsaw Pact for now, the Italian Socialist-Communist Coalition, similar to the Fascist before cracked down hard on the Mafia, as well as other powers and factions beside them in the Italian State. While not atheist as the Eastern Communist, but Secular the new Italian-Roman Concordat clearly stated that with the agreement to leave Vatican City governed by the Papacy, the Papacy itself in return had given up earthly control over Central Italy, Italy and the Catholic World in general to secular governments, the Italian Socialist-Communist Coalition explained and to ensure that Priests and other Catholic Church members were prevented of holding any public office, just like non-Catholics could not hold any office in the Papal State of Vatican City. This natural alienated some Catholic Nations like Spain, France and Latin America, damaging the relationship of their governments and population towards Italy, which partly weakened Italian economy, trade and industries. With this the Italian Socialist-Communist Coalition had another claim that the Catholics and Papacy were secretly working against the Italian People, their freedom and liberties, while at the same time contacts with Tripoli and Cyrenaiva, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Syria and Judea-Jordaniawere strengthened.

In the Transjordan-Arab War the United Nations decided to give medical, food and other humanitarian aid to both sides, but prevent the shipments of offensive weapons and other military goods, at the same time they clearly recognized Transjordania as the Defensive Victim and the Arab Nation States as the Aggressors, which was why defensive weaponry for Transjordania while not allowed, was tolerated by looking the other way during shipments for the Transjordanians. With a much better trained and efficient Israeli-Arab Trans-Jordanian Army this Transjordan-Arab War would last until November 1948, resulting in a massive overall Transjordan victory, that then would result in new problems for the United Nations in the Middle East.
