As part of the “Ulster Agreement” between the Second Irish Free State and the British National State (ruled by Oswald Mosley and his vitalist British Renaissance Party), Northern Irish Protestants who want to leave Ulster are preparing for evacuation ahead of the planned transfer of Ulster from British Rule to Irish Rule that is scheduled to take place on May 12, 1960.

However Northern Irish Protestant paramilitaries (now calling themselves Ulster Self-Defence Brigades or USDBs), feeling betrayed by Mosley and his government, have refused the order to lay down their arms and have instead started to launch terrorist attacks on Catholics and pro-Unification Protestants throughout Ulster as well as attacking British troops and the incoming Irish soldiers*.

* = The Irish National Army, aka the Free State Army/Regular Army, is to be taking over the duties of the British National State Army in Ulster in regards to keeping the peace as the Irish Republican Army and Ulster Self-Defence Brigades both lay down their arms as part of the Ulster Agreement. The Army is to do this by declaring martial law throughout Ulster and enforcing the disarmament of the IRA and USDB until such a time has passed where the Irish Government is comfortable with ending martial law in Ulster and a civilian government can be set up.

Victory of the USSR in the Cold War - Sci-Fi Movies (part 1)

Now few people remember that in addition to the political and technical front, the Cold War had another front - the cultural one. More indirectly than directly, cultural figures competed with each other, working on the image of their own regimes. The decade that started with Yuri Gagarin, and ended with Red May in Paris, gave the world another phenomenon - Fantastic Films from the East.

Pavel Vladimirovich Klushantsev (12 (25) February 1910, St. Petersburg - April 27, 1999, Leningrad) - Soviet cinematographer of the highest category (1939), film director, screenwriter, writer. Honored Artist of the RSFSR (1970). This person can be called the Godfather of Soviet fiction movies, a true revolutionary in the field of special effects. He laid the foundations for the subsequent development of his popular science films and a fantastic hit Planet of the Storms.

Planet of the Storms and Encounter in space - Movie footage

In addition to space works, films were created where the action took place on the Earth (such is the fantastic melodrama Amphibian Man) and numerous fairy tale films.

The completion of the first wave of Science-Fiction films was a two-part film created at the specially created Central Film Studio of science fiction films by Alexander Belyaev (created on the basis of the Ukrainian film producers - Odessa Film Studio and Dovzhenko Film Studio) - Andromeda Nebula.

The first Lunar Expedition, and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat in France and Italy, turned the whole world - it seemed what was shown in the film to become a reality .... The decade ended with the accompaniment of the anthem of the Communist Utopia.

Anton Mussert and the National Commonwealth of Holland

Anton Adriaan Mussert, de Lieder of Holland (used to be commonly called the Netherlands prior to Autumn 1939).
​

Mussert was born in 1894 in Werkendam, in the northern part of the province of North Brabant in what was then the Kingdom of the Netherlands. From an early age he showed talent in technical matters and on leaving school chose to study civil engineering at the Delft University of Technology. In the 1920s, he became active in several far right organisations, such as the Dietsche Bond which advocated a Greater Holland including Flanders (a Dutch-speaking part of Belgium).

On 14 December 1931, he, Cornelis van Geelkerken, and ten others founded the Nationaal vitaalblok (NV) or National Vitalist Bloc - the Dutch counterpart to Oswald Mosley’s British Renaissance Party and Italo Balbo’s (North) Italian National Fascist Party. In its early years, the NV had a small but steady membership including several hundred Dutch Jews as it was, like every good vitalist party, tolerant of religion and not anti-Semitic. In fact, the NV boasted the highest amount of Jewish membership for any vitalist party outside the Ottoman province of Palestine. Mussert even said that every Dutch Jew is welcomed in the Nationaal vitaalblok.

A 1933 demonstration at Utrecht attracted only 600 demonstrators. A year later, the NV rallied 25,000 demonstrators in Amsterdam. The NV received 300,000 votes in the 1935 parliamentary elections - Mussert’s Bloc would only win 5% of the vote. In 1936 a major economic depression struck the country, causing tens of thousands to lose their jobs; the banks completely crashed, businesses folded up, and people began to starve.

This was all made worse due to horrible decisions made by the German-backed Dutch Government. With the government unable to alleviate or solve the crisis, the Dutch population at large turned to radicals who seemed to offer a way out - the Communists and Vitalists. To the ordinary Dutchman, the preachings of Mussert’s vitalist ideology; in particular class collaboration (which spoke to the harmonious nature of Dutch society), a strong military, and economic revivalisation, seemed like a gift from the heavens. Just as well there was mounting anti-monarchist sentiment among the people of the Netherlands.

The long standing Dutch Monarchy had been reduced to a mere German puppet, and one that wasn’t seen as all that important to Berlin either, allowing a small number of German troops to be stationed in the country. Add to the fact that the royal family lived very comfortably whilst the Dutch people starved and you had a recipe for hatred against the centuries old Dutch monarchy.

These series of unfortunate events, led to the NV making serious gains in the 1939 parliamentary elections with the Bloc receiving a 65% of the votes - membership in the Bloc skyrocketed from the thousands to the hundreds of thousands. Mussert quickly expanded the NV’s own blackshirted version of the British Stewards/North Italian Grayshirts called the Mussert Garde, which terrorised his opponents into submission and often times got into street battles with Dutch communists, collective nationalists, and occasionally the police.

The Mussert Garde in 1939.​

This terrified the reigning monarch, Queen Wilhelmina of House Orange-Nassau, who feared that a vitalist revolution or electoral victory was inevitable. In August of that year, Wilhelmina pleaded with the then aging Kaiser Wilhelm II to send more troops into the Netherlands to bolster the Dutch Army and the small German Garrison in order to suppress the potential threat of a vitalist revolution.

But the Kaiser said he couldn’t for the anti-Tsarist partisan situation in Russia was getting worse with the introduction the Russian collective nationalists and the increase in terrorism by the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks (which was even starting to hit German cities).

Wilhelmina of House Orange-Nassau, the last Dutch monarch.​

With no help coming from Berlin, Wilhelmina bowed to the inevitable and allowed Mussert’s increasingly popular Nationaal vitaalblok to take full control of the government and fled to Germany in exile. On 5 September 1939, Mussert declared the Kingdom of the Netherlands to be officially at an end and proclaimed a new vitalist Dutch state, the National Commonwealth of Holland, with himself as de Lieder or the Leader. The Mussert Garde was renamed the Nationale bewaker van het Gemenebest (National Commonwealth Guard). Mussert effectively ended 395 years of Orange-Nassau rule in Holland without firing a single shot.

Now in complete control, Mussert banned all other political parties and brought the Dutch press under complete and total state control. He also started a massive military build up as well and to soothe German fears, Mussert stated clearly in an international radio broadcast that the new Dutch Government would not seek action against the Kaiserreich so long as Dutch neutrality and territorial integrity was respected to the hilt and that the German garrison leave the country.

The Dutch Collective Nationalist Worker’s Party: Holland’s Outlawed CollNats

Ernst Herman van Rappard, founder and leader of the NCNA.
​

The Dutch Collective Nationalist Worker’s Party, or the Nederlandse collectieve nationalistische arbeiderspartij, was a Dutch collective nationalist party founded in 1931 and led by Ernst Herman van Rappard. Seeking to copy the collective nationalism of others, notably South Italian ruler Benito Mussolini, the group failed to achieve electoral success and was accused by its rival the National Vitalist Bloc (NV) of being too extreme. When the NV’s founder/leader Anton Mussert took power in Autumn 1939, the NCNA joined the ranks of all the other non-NV political parties that were banned indefinitely.

​

In his speech, Mussert also gave a brief criticism of the Vitalist Coalition Government in Paris for not banning collective nationalism outright like he did in his native Holland. But he stated that overall, he was and continues to be glad to have France as a brother vitalist state. The very last section of his speech would be immoralitised as the epitome of international vitalism’s feeling towards international collective nationalism:

“Race? It is a feeling, not a reality. Ninety-five percent, at least. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today....national pride has no need of the delirium of race. If these collective nationalists didn’t waste time and energy against those they saw as racially inferior than maybe they’d be in power in more than just four countries.”

Mussert’s Cult of Personality

​

Unlike most vitalist states, which are authoritarian, the National Commonwealth of Holland is totalitarian. The only other purely vitalist regime that is totalitarian is Ngô Đình Diệm’s Unitary State of Vietnam, which is a close trading partner with Holland.

​

Since achieving total power in 1939, de Lieder Anton Mussert and his Nationaal vitaalblok have banned all other political parties in Holland along with instituting state-run media, established a secret police, and set up a cult of personality centred around Mussert. By 1950, de Lieder’s Cult of Personality would be rivalled only by the Lãnh đạo of Vietnam (Ngô Đình Diệm) in terms of scope, size, and overall strength.

Cremation of Ideas

​

Starting on 1 May 1940, the Nationaal vitaalblok’s book burnings were a campaign conducted by the NV’s youth group - the Dutch Student’s League or Nederlandse studentenliga (the "Nsl") - to ceremonially burn books in Holland. The books targeted for burning were those viewed as being subversive or as representing ideologies opposed to vitalism. These included books were written by collective nationalist, pacifist, classical liberal, anarchist, socialist, and communist authors. The first books burned were those of Karl Marx and Benito Mussolini.

Victory of the USSR in the Cold War - Sci-Fi Movies (part 2)

By the beginning of the 1970s the world had already changed completely and irrevocably - flights in outer space were becoming more and more reality, West Germany was torn apart by guerrilla warfare, American military adventure in Vietnam finally failed, and the USSR was steadily on the way to reforming its Own System.
The Space Fantastic Cinema of the 1970s became more serious and dramatic, greatly reducing the pathos of the triumph of progress and humanity.

One of the most significant films of the early 70's, is the adaptation of the novel by Stanislav Lem "Solaris", directed by Boris Nirenburg and Lydia Ishimbayeva. Throughout the whole film there is a doubt, in the possibility of mutual understanding between people and Extraterrestrial Intelligence. At one time, as if in a polemic with Solyaris, the "Orion Loop" was removed - this film ends with the phrase "We came in peace" and the crew returned to Earth, in order to begin preparations for the Contact.

At that time, fiction from the GDR began to develop actively - the most famous of them is the film Aeolomea.

Also for that time is characterized by the rapid development of children's fiction - the brightest children's films of this decade was the "Moscow-Cassiopeia - Teen in the Universe" dilogy.

World success was achieved by films of a similar genre from Czechoslovakia - for example, the film "Odyssey and the Stars" and the popular and now television series She Came Out of the Blue Sky.

The decade ended with another adaptation of Lem - the Soviet-Polish film "Inquest of Pilot Pirx".

The film was different with special effects, and received world fees, but lost the ideas and meaning of the original.

Oswald Mosley: Resistance Leader, Father of Vitalism, and Best Selling Author

Oswald Ernald Mosley.
​

Oswald Mosley would write a book in 1933 called “My Suffering” detailing vitalism and how the racist/anti-Semitic arseholes of southern Italy, Croatia, and Hungary dragged it through the mud. He also stated in the novel how French vitalist, François de La Rocque and his Croix-de-Feu Party were model vitalists who stayed true to the ideology unlike the Mussolinian collective nationalists of the world.

My Suffering would be a best seller in Britain, France, the Netherlands (later renamed Holland under Anton Mussert), Spain, the League of Free Nations (in particular the United States), and the German Raj (smuggled in of course).

Victory of the USSR in the Cold War - Sci-Fi Movies (part 3)

The beginning of the 1980s became a symbol of the completion of the historic process for many - abroad, Germany was unified, the dissolution of NATO and the end of the Cold War. In the USSR representatives of the conservative wing came to power for eight years, launching the period of "counterreforms". Nevertheless, the science fiction continued to develop rapidly - in 1980 the three successful fantasy films were released:
Per Aspera Ad Astra

Hard to Be a God

Space Mowgli

The first film told about the alien expedition found by an extraterrestrial girl with unusual abilities ... The film deeply touched upon the ecological and social themes. The next two films were screen versions of the works of the Strugatsky Brothers. "It's Hard To Be God" turned out to be very far from the original, turning into a dramatic love story of an Earthman and a medieval girl. The second film remained fairly close to the original, but it was coolly met by official criticism (here it was not without politics).

Three years later came out quite a fancy film "Moon Rainbow", but he did not make a special excitement, like the melodramatic film "Seven Elements", filmed two years later. It seemed like people are rapidly losing interest in a fantastic genre.

The real hits of the 80s were films about Alice Selezneva (character of books by Kir Bulychev) - "Visitor from the Future" and "Lilac Ball".

Both films were bribed in the image of the main character and soul music. The film received world fame, and was awarded to a number of international awards. This film was spoken by the then president of Walt Disney Production Frank Wells - "They say the Russians won the war, because they have more rockets." I do not understand anything about that, but I see them Alisa has already won the hearts of our children. victory of Communism. "

Meanwhile, the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee was Yegor Kuzmich Ligachev, a supporter of reforms. There were new times.

Wotan, what are the victorious USSR's reforms and counterreforms?

 

[WotanArgead]

Wotan, what are the victorious USSR's reforms and counterreforms?

I did not think much about this moment, but here's how it looks:
First of all, I changed the reform of management in 1957 - instead of complicating the bureaucracy Khrushchev revives the factory committees. After the 62nd, committees receive a number of broad administrative functions. In 1965, the economy is restructured. - The decentralization of the economy begins, the powers of local authorities are expanded to manage the economies, and the development of co-operatives has begun. As a result, you should get the Matryoshka model.

The 1970s are more pragmatic in this regard. Kosygin will rely on two areas - the development of computer planning, and the development of the cooperative sector. Culturally, on the one hand, the continuation of the "Thaw", on the other hand the emergence of allies in Europe will require the development of some mass trends in culture. Creation of independent public organizations will be done (but they will have few opportunities to influence the policy of the Party).

The 80th will be the time of leadership of the two conservatives - from the 80th to the 84th at the helm will be Yuri Andropov, until the 89th - Gromyko.
The first is a tough conservative. In the economy, a course will be taken to centralize, to restrict the cooperative sector. In culture and politics - the declaration of "absolute superiority of Socialism" - the reduction of political freedoms, the predominance of officialdom in culture. Gromyko is much more inclined to reform, but will continue to use "conservative" rhetoric.

Victory of the USSR in the Cold War - Sci-Fi Movies (part 4)

In 1989, the new First Secretary, Yegor Ligachev, announced the need for "reforming public administration in order to develop socialistic relations in society." This marked the beginning of the democratization of the political sphere in the USSR. A year later a sufficient bold film appeared - "The Hour of the Bull" based on the work of Ivan Efremov.

The reason for the scandal was the open letter of PRC Chairman Hua Guofeng, where he called the film "anti-communist provocation, discrediting the foundations of the socialist system" (the reason for this was criticism in the novel "formic Pseudo-Socialism", which in the novel was officially called China era "Cultural Revolution" ). Ligachev approved the answer, in which he stated that "he did not notice anything going beyond the framework of the Marxist-Leninist ideology"). A new round of tension between the USSR and the PRC began.

The USSR was waiting for great changes - the first free elections, a multi-party system, the "Law on Freedom of Information." Against this background there was another series of critical science fiction movies

From Communist to Falangist: The Fidel Castro Story

Fidel Castro as a lawyer.
​

A lawyer by trade, Fidel Alejandro Castro was a communist sympathiser before the Cuban Civil War and during its early stages. However, that was until he found out that his entire hometown had been massacred by the Cuban communists’ Revolutionary Popular Army of Cuba on March 10, 1956. He and his brother Raúl, together with others who had similar tragedies occur became ardent Falangists and formed the virulently anti-communist Falangist paramilitary group known as la Organización para la Erradicación del Comunismo (the Organisation for the Eradication of Communism) or OEC. With communist death squads rounding up anyone suspected of supporting the government (real or imagined), the group’s ranks swelled with new recruits.

The OEC was so good at its job in fact that they cleared out the Sierra Maestra mountain range in southeastern Cuba by April 1957. The mountains had been thought to be impregnable by the Cuban National Military’s General Staff as several attempts to disludge the rebels failed.

On January 5, 1958, Fulgencio Batista himself met with Castro in the Sierra Maestras and offered him and his OEC a job as part of a new special commando unit for the Cuban secret police, la Buró de Represión de Actividades Comunistas (the Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities) or BRAC. Fidel happily accepted, eventually Castro would rise through BRAC’s ranks to become its new director after the old BRAC Director Mariano Faget fell out of favour with Batista - Castro would als join La Falange Cubana in February 1959.

Castro in 1959, now director of BRAC, lights his cigar with a match.​

Relations between the National Unionist Party and the Criminal Underworld

Huey Long promising to crack down on the Crime Families in 1946.​

The National Unionist government was strict towards the Crime Families, where when Long and his ANUP were elected to power various crackdowns ensued on the Kingfish’s orders. Relations between the vitalist National Unionist government and the Crime Families were hostile, but that would change.

AUS Capital Forces soldiers* cracking down on a grocery store in Chicago that is a front to a crime syndicate in 1954.​

It would change with the German invasion and occupation in America. Thus the AUS Military and Government would go into exile to friendly vitalist regimes. Whereas many other AUS Military Forces would stay behind and fight a Resistance War. Huey Long seeing that the Mob was causing trouble for the Germans had decided to work with them wherein the case America is liberated, those who fought to liberate America would be pardoned of crimes. However, those who collaborated with the Germans would be persecuted.

A Great Lakes Syndicate gangster providing information to soldiers of an AUS Army cell in occupied New York.​

It would be during then that the AUS Forces in Exile along with their vitalist allies would provide weapons for the anti-German gangs like the AR-15 and AR-55:

Colt AR-15 Assault Rifle (supplied by Exiled AUS Forces under approval of the ANUP and Huey Long).

Colt AR-55 Battle Rifle (supplied by AUS and Vitalist Countries)

FN50 Battle Rifle (supplied from Vitalist Britain, France and Spain)

Mauser AK-52 Assault Rifle (easily obtained from the black market due to high popularity in the Third World as well its cheap/low cost or supplied from corrupt or anti-German elements of the Imperial Russian State Military)

Masked Great Lakes Syndicate gangsters armed with Russian Mauser AK-52 assault rifles shooting at German troops in a café.​

It would be after the occupation that the Crime Families would be pardoned by the AUS government. In terms of current status, they would refrain from actions against the AUS regime as well avoid spilling American blood. The Mobs would in an attempt to stay on the AUS' good side as well continue operations would turn their mafia enterprises into vitalist corporations which would end up benefiting both the AUS Economy and the Crime Families’ wealth.

* = The Capital Forces are the ANUP equivalent of the Nazi Party Waffen-SS, Baathist Iraqi Republican Guard and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in that they are a specialized military gorce that takes orders from the Party.

Capone’s New Corporate Empire: The Conglomerate ​

Capone and other former crime bosses-turned-vitalist businessmen heading towards the fifth annual “Grand Meeting of American Industrial and Commercial Captains” which has been held in Havana, Cuba since 1957 (sponsored by the Cuban Government).
​

With the pro-AUS crime organisations like the Great Lakes Syndicate becoming vitalist corporations after the Resistance War their influence expanded to international levels. The Syndicate would change its name to the North American Shipping and Manufacturing Conglomerate aka NASMC and expand into Central and South America. The NASMC was/is often referred to as the Conglomerate.

NASMC founder and chairman, Alphonse Gabriel Capone.
​

In both places, the illegal criminal activities that the Conglomerate engaged in as the Syndicate continued unabated and with relative impunity*. However, Capone’s now legitimatised empire stayed clear of committing illegal activities in Cuba, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil.

Anyone belonging to the Conglomerate who committed illegal activities in these countries was either taught a lesson by the Conglomerate’s private security force (see corporate army), called the Conglomerate Enforcement Agency aka the CEA, or given up to the authorities in the nation(s) were the crimes were committed. After which, the Conglomerate made up for the transgression(s) via public works projects and/or charities.

Francesco Raffaele Nitto, aka Frank Nitti, one of Al Capone's top henchmen, Nitti was in charge of all strong-arm and 'muscle' operations for the Great Lakes Syndicate. Nitti was later appointed as the Chief Officer of the North American Shipping and Manufacturing Conglomerate's Conglomerate Enforcement Agency by Capone himself in 1957.
​

The Conglomerate would also send arms and elite members of its CEA known as “specialists”* into places like Bolivia and Argentina to aid vitalist and/or falangist rebels there. All the while, the AUS Government would turn a blind eye to the Conglomerate’s activities abroad. After all they were doing crimes in other countries that weren’t vitalist and even actively helping vitalists/falangists in their struggle for power, so why should the AUS care?

A little bit of Fun from my TL.

On March 3rd 2005 , this photo appeared on on the front cover of Britain's famous (read infamous) Challenger Mens Magazine as the first in a series of raunchy photos of a very sexy looking woman. Mostly this would have gone unnoticed by the general public, but these photos would end up causing a constitutional crisis that would divide public opinion in the empire and bring a government to it's knees. This was because the women in the pictures was Princess Victoria of York, second in line to the British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Rhodesian, East African, West African and other Commonwealth thrones, future Empress of India as well as future head of the Anglican Church and Defender of the Faith.

So shocking was the revelation that the Most Powerful and Recognisable Woman in the world to be would offer her self up like this that reportedly the Rate of Heart Attacks across the Empire/Commonwealth skyrocketed by 30 percent. However, the real problems started when the Conservative Prime Minister Lord Milton condemned the pictures in parliament as "A disgusting display of everything that is wrong with Modern Britain", backing comments made by leaders of the Anglican Church earlier that morning. however, to his surprise, he was received with a public backlash, with up to 70 percent of people polled stating that the pictures did not hurt the Image of the Monarchy and 40 percent believing that it actually improved it. However, Princess Victoria stayed silent for most of the crisis, further fuelling tensions.... (Who wants more )

(ps: yeah, i know it's Meagan Fox, but from the descriptions i wrote, she is the closest hot chick from OTL i could find and yes, i know it's from those Armani shots she did not so long ago but i didn't show what on the inside of the mag didn't i.)

Japanese Settlement in Manchukuo, China, the PSA and Vacationing in Hawaii

Colonialisation propaganda in Japanese Korea circa 1940s.
​

With the continuing problem of overcrowding in the Home Islands (especially the major cities), the encouragement of colonial settlements in Korea, Manchukuo, and China was ramped up severely notches throughout the remainder of the 1940s into the 1950s.

Settlement propaganda in Manchukuo, showing the nation as beacon of opportunity for Japan's middle class and lower class.​

Beginning in 1953, after the last vestiges of significant anti-Japanese partisan activity was crushed, Japanese immigration and settlement in the Pacific States of America was greatly encouraged by both Tokyo and the Nixon regime. Very soon, the white Americans in the PSA found themselves as second-class citizens in their own lands and witnessed the incoming Japanese settlers be given first-class citizenship and preferential treatment by the PSA government.

The Return of the Kingdom of Hawai'i

David Kalākaua Kawānanakoa II, newly crowned king of the restored Kingdom of Hawai'i.
​

With the establishment of the Kingdom in 1948, the Japanese needed to legitimise their protectorate more than just declaring it an independent nation and slapping on a name. Therefore, they looked for claimants to the Hawaiian throne and they found one in David Kalākaua Kawānanakoa II, also known as Prince Koke, a member of the House of Kawānanakoa and the only son of former Prince David Kawānanakoa and Princess Abigail Campbell Kawānanakoa.

Prince Koke’s coronation at Iolani Palace in Honolulu on the Hawaiian island of Oahu was a grandiose ceremony and the new king would take the name Kamehameha VI - he would rule as an absolute monarch albeit one depended on Tokyo. Very soon, the new royal government was staffed by Japanese officials and educated ethnic Hawaiians. The newly created Royal Hawaiian Armed Forces* were full of ethnic Hawaiians and the officer corps was entirely made up of Japanese officers (at lease for the time being), white officers and soldiers were discharged from military service and all whites were barred from entering service. Hawaiians nationalists* came out into the open with the establishment of the kingdom and started to demand that the so-called “White-Hawaiians” (aka White Americans) be deported en masse to the Pacific States of America. Kamehameha, wanting to keep nationalist support, did exactly that with all whites being deported (starting in January 1949).

The Japanese for their part, didn't care about the White Hawaiians and turned a blind eye to the deportations. To supplement the brain drain, ethnic Hawaiians were sent abroad to study in Japan. Additionally, the traditional indigenous Hawaiian culture and religion were both greatly encouraged by Honolulu and saw a massive revival. Christianity was outlawed by the monarchy, Hawaiian Christians were forced to convert to the old religion or face expulsion, imprisonment,
and in some cases even death. Shintoism would also be sponsored by the Hawaiian Government but never receive the level of sponsorship or enforcement that the indigenous Hawaiian religion got.

==========================

* = The armed forces are really just the Royal Hawaiian Army and a small coastal defense force that is essentially the Royal Hawaiian Navy. Hawai’i has no Air Force of its own, instead it relies on the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.

* = These nationalists - known as the ka Hui Libei Hawaiʻi or Hawaiian Liberation Society - had been growing in secret, in both numbers and extremism, since the Japanese victories against the USA mounted during the Japan-America War (especially when Japan got closer and closer to Hawaii).

The Kanaka Maoli, which means ‘true people’ in Hawaiian, is the flag of the ka Hui Libei Hawaiʻi and was quickly adopted by the royal government as the kingdom’s national flag upon its establishment.
