### History

#### The Canadian Divide (1855)

When Canada secured its independence from the British Empire, it controlled from the Hudson Bay to Haida Island. The nation was never stable, though, and after a riot in Vancouver was heavily repressed, the Columnians felt like they had no other choice but to revolt. After 15 days of silence the West Canadian Insurgency began, headed by the Columbian People's Front. After only two months of combat, Winnepeg sued for peace. The treaty secured Columbian Independence, as Canada began favoring New France. However, the sentiment for revolution remained in Columbian culture. A thing that would amount to the 1910 revolution.

#### Reconstruction (1855-1900)

The country began growing bit by bit again. Foreign investors began looking for opportunities in Columbia. Eventually, they'd find one, The Columbian Gold Rush. This gave the government needed funds to rebuild the shattered nation. However, the Gold Rush would prove to be a blessing and a curse. Massive amounts of pollution occured in the area, not to mention the massive social inequality this would bring to the nation. Now, a lot of veterans were left poor and with no job opportunities. The revolution was put into action.

#### The Columbian Revolution and Civil War (1910-1913)

The Columbian underrcurrent of revolution and the awful life conditions for the lower and middle classes had pretty much pushed the people too far. With support from Britain, the Columbian Communist Party, and its allies took up arms and took down the aristocracy in Columbia. In the subsequent years, the Army and Revolutionaries would clash and eventually, the Red Army was victorious.

#### The Red Boom (1914-1929)

When The Great War began, Columbia succesfully reconstructed, and began growing rapidly. Mexico especially became a good ally of Columbia. Which is how Columbia joined the UNC. Britain and Columbia also became good allies, Columbia became a key member in the forming of the Comintern. Columbia became one of the best examples of socialist thought. Though now, the government is technocratic.

### Standings

Due to the fact that Columbia banned all other parties that weren't the CCP, this sector will cover the different factions in the CPP.

1. The 'Combine' Faction is the Anarcho-Communist faction within the CPP and advocates for a de-statization of Columbia and for a Makhnovia-style Free Territory to be established. They are led by Florence Custance.
2. The 'Workers' Faction is the Syndicalist faction in the CPP. They are heavily backed by France, and advocate for a Parisian Socialist state, with councils instead of the rigid central authority. They are led by Jeanne Corbin.
3. The 'Progress' Faction is the current one in control, and is technocratic socialist. They have wanted an advanced society that has no limits and can flourish with science. They are led by Kimball Cairou.
4. The 'London' Faction is the original faction that formed the CCP. They want a marxist state similar to Britain. Hence the name, 'London', they are led by Avrom Yanovsky.
