The 6th Anniversary of the End of the Great War and 2 Years Since the Great Depression Began In America
"Fucking Jerries, Ruskies and Yanks. I can't believe it's been 6 years since we lost the damn war and yet it hurts like I just heard the announcement on the radio. 'We'll never let the old flag fall' my ass. And those goddamn Frogs didn't help either, losing Paris so quickly, and to think they thought that what they scrounged up at Marne was enough to stop the Jerries. Well look at them now, they surrendered thinking it would save their asses and now the commies rule France. Jerry's smiling right now but once the Commune and the Union team up for some good 'ol revenge from both sides they won't know what hit them.
Meanwhile across the Pond, the Yanks were happy to sell us, and the Hun once our blockade fell apart in '16, everything we needed to fight the war, making a pretty penny off our struggle. Well, serves them right their economy is in a free fall, just wish it didn't extend over here as hard as it did. The Russians were worthless, and they started the whole damn thing. If they just backed off on Serbia none of us would be in this mess. And when they finally surrendered in late '17, millions of Germans came from the East to the West and overran what we had in France and then got stalled at the Alps in Italy. With that problem unsolved, they sent the majority of them to Middle East to help the Turks kick us out of there and now Kaiser Bill owns the Suez.
Then when the peace was finally agreed on in 1918, Germany stripped us, the French and the Belgians of all of Central and Eastern Africa as well as parts of Southern Africa save for Rhodesia, South Africa, and Bechuanaland. In the East, they took Singapore and Malaya. The empire was gutted. Then in 1919, India, dissatisfied with our rule, decided to kick us out for good, the Irish, South Africans, Egyptians, Aussies, Kiwis, and Canadians soon followed suit, with Canada receiving American protection.
Now we are left with Guyana, Hong Kong, Ceylon, West Africa, and several other scattered colonies as well as the overseas French colonies, a shadow of our former selves. But I, as many of my fellow brothers in arms and the people of Britain, have hope and confidence that we will rise again to our former glory, get revenge on the Fritz and raise the Union Jack across the globe again. The Sun may have set, but the Sun rises yet again.
And with the general election coming up for this year, a new face will lead Britain into the future, one can only wonder who it will be."
