Description

It is 1977 and Afro-Eurasia lays trampled under the European jackboot.

The German Empire

The restructuring of the world order after the Great War saw the German Empire assert itself as a truly global power. Though the transfer of a vast African empire of dense jungles and impenetrable climate was initially viewed as a strategic plunder, over the decades Mittelafrika has been shaped to the will of the German Reich. A scheme was devised to reshape central Africa into a new German heartland. This was the flooding of the Congo River Basin.

Though the German government continues to deny the deliberate displacement of the native African peoples as a central goal of the Congo Dam project, it nevertheless resulted in the destruction of what had been the homelands of thousands of millennia old cultures. Even native peoples outside of the river basin proper saw themselves expelled to several native “Homelands”. In recent years the German colonization of Mittelafrika has increasingly been labelled by human rights organizations as a genocide.

The Imperial Federation

The success of the Imperial Federation project saw the Anglos reach new heights of global dominance. The British Empire was transformed into a tiered hierarchy of Imperial control during the acts of imperial reorganization acts of the 1920s Member states of the Imperial Federation send representatives to the Imperial Parliament in London while maintaining power over local governance within their state.

With the exception of contributions to the Imperial Armed Forces and a Westminster veto, Imperial territories outside of the Federation have seen substantial increases in self-governance, with the Dominions possessing nearly unlimited legislative authority. The Imperial Protectorates, despite being De Jure autonomous, are totally governed by the Imperial System, as evidenced by the brutal reprisals carried out during the failed Persian Revolution of 1956.

The Partition of China

Despite thousands of years of Imperial Hegemony, the collapse of the Qing Empire in 1911 signaled the start of the collapse of native Han rule in East Asia. The Conference of Shanghai put an end to the decades of brutal civil war during the Warlord era, with China being divided up by the Great Powers. As the leading Power the Imperial Federation asserted its control over much of the Yangtze basin while Germany seized most of the Northeast. The secondary powers took the periphery scraps wherever they could.

The Beginning of the End for the European World System?

Though the European world order has been hailed by its proponents as the natural state of being for the world growing instability in the colonies have shaken the system to its core. The rising cost in blood and treasury of keeping the native population in check has fuelled calls for colonial downsizing by the electorates of European Powers'. Most of this sentiment is still focused on the increasing brutality of the fighting in China.

With the Ethiopian insurrection having broken the back of the Italian army in several key engagements the invincibility of the Europeans has been dispelled. With the Italian’s withdrawal from Ethiopia expected to be completed by the end of the Year it remains to be seen how much longer the boot of European oppression will lie heavy.
