Scripted Events

The following are a list of scripted events to happen during the simulation.

## Definitive Events

The following events are definitive and bound to happen without any precursor conditions.

### 1932

* **Ernst Röhm** **Coup:** After the elections for the leader of the politburo, Röhm coups the German government, specifically against the leadership of Walter Ulbricht. The player decides whether the coup is successful; if it is, Röhm takes over the government and can lead as a dictator, or devolve power to a new leader. If not, the Republic holds firm. A successful Röhm coup can have stability implications, however.
* **1932 United States presidential elections:** The United States elections go ahead, with decisions from the player as to who the nominations are. These are to be confirmed with a mod. The likelihoods of the victor will also be determined by the mod, with the least likely victor causing instability.

## Conditional Events

### 1932

* **MacArthur's Intervention:** A Socialist Party or Alphonse Capone Corporate Party victory can opt for Douglas MacArthur to coup the government, which can be decided by the player. The outcomes of a successful coup is down to the player.
* **Monroe Enterprise Agreement:** If, by some odd circumstance that Capone wins, the United States can form the 'Monroe Enterprise Agreement', creating closer ties with the Conglomerate of Central America and a possible annexation, depending on the state of the Conglomerate's unstable leadership.
Jack Miles

**John Bramwell Miles**, otherwise known as **Jack Miles**, is a potential future Prime Minister of Australasia. He is a communist politician and the leader of the Australasian Communist Party. Miles believes in the formation of an Australasian Republic, breaking the country away from the United Kingdom, and creating new ties between Australasia and the Soviet Union, as a bastion of communism in Oceania and the Pacific.

While Miles winning is highly unlikely, a set of economic travesties in Australasia and a potential rise in Anglophobia could result in Miles coming to power as Prime Minister and maybe even Premier, should that be the path the player wishes to take.
Stanley Baldwin

**Stanley Baldwin, 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley**, or simply **Stanley Baldwin**, is a British politician who has served as Prime Minister twice and has been the leader of the Conservative Party since 1923. Baldwin first served as Prime Minister between May 1923 to January 1924, then again from November 1924 to June 1929, before losing the 1929 general election to the Labour Party. Since then, he has been the Leader of the Opposition to Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and the incumbent Prime Minister Oswald Mosley.

As Prime Minister, Baldwin oversaw Britain transition into a highly anti-socialist and sceptical nation because of the rise of the German Socialist Republic, being the main government leader to stamp out the revolutionary efforts of the 1926 General Strike. Despite this, he was pro-liberal progressivism, and encouraged equal franchise in 1928. Baldwin blames the ineffective leadership of MacDonald for the failure of the 1931 election, and has since reminisced the possibility of returning to power as Prime Minister, lest he be replaced by another such as the most likely candidate, Winston Churchill.
Haile Selassie

**Haile Selassie I**, born **Ras Tafari Makonnen**, is the current Emperor of Ethiopia. An absolute monarch, Haile Selassie came to power in April 1930 after the death of his predecessor, Empress Zewditu. Given Ethiopia's independence from colonial rule, Haile Selassie is a very influential voice in African politics.

Selassie has big plans for Ethiopia; as Emperor, he intends on modernising Ethiopia and bringing them properly to the world stage, while safeguarding national interests and his country from the grips of colonialism, as it had done against the Kingdom of Italy all those decades ago. But as Ethiopia progresses into the future, even Selassie isn't blind to the fact that she might face a grand challenge yet to come. And with Mussolini in charge with imperial ambitions, Selassie may encounter his greatest challenge as Emperor.
Wilhelm Pieck

**Friedrich Wilhelm Reinhold Pieck**, or simply **Wilhelm Pieck**, is the potential Stalinist leader of the German Free State. If the Entscheidung does not result in a clear decision between Hindenburg, Lettow-Vorbeck nor Ludendorff, then a socialist rebellion can occur. Pieck is the leader that emerges if Stalinism is chosen over Spartacism. This would bring the German Free State closer to the Soviet Union, rather than to its actual German predecessor.
Winston Churchill

**Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill**, or simply **Winston Churchill**, is a British politician for the Conservative Party who once served as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. Churchill rose to fame as the Home Secretary before the Great War, cracking down on the violent acts of the suffragette movements, before leading as First Lord of the Admiralty in the Great War. After that, Churchill went on to become Chancellor of the Exchequer, and with the rise of socialism in the new German Socialist Republic, led swift economic reforms back to the Gold Standard, resulting in the 1926 General Strike. In the strike, Churchill led the military to quell the rebellion, to prevent a revolution like the one in Germany, for which he was strongly commended.

A staunch imperialist and liberal progressive, Churchill has one day ideals of becoming Prime Minister, and with the growing incompetence of Baldwin, he may see that day come. If the time comes where Britain sees itself on a war footing and Prime Minister Oswald Mosley loses his stride, Churchill may be the beacon of hope Britain needs in a new axis of darkness.
Earle Page

Agrarianism

Australian Dominance

**Earle Christmas Grafton Page**, or simply **Earle Page**, is a potential future Prime Minister of Australasia. As leader of the Australia National Party, Page supports the Confederation, but believes that Australia being the centre of the Australasian Confederation is no coincidence, and through this states that Australia should hold dominance over the balance of power in parliament.

Although mostly in support of incumbent Joseph Lyons, Page still holds reservations in wanting to run for leadership, and in a future election, should Lyons do wrong on his promise of uniting Australasia properly, Page may finally have his chance. His ideals have often put him at odds with George Forbes, who he considers his New Zealand opposite; and holds firm that if a New Zealand-dominated government were to take hold, the integrity and stability of Australasia would crumble.
Kingdom of Italy

The **Kingdom of Italy**, or simply **Italy**, is a country in Southern Europe. It is the only European nation to be ruled by a Fascist dictatorship under Benito Mussolini, the Prime Minister and 'Il Duce'. The country is also a constitutional monarchy, with Victor Emmanuel III ruling as King. The country felt betrayed following the results of the Great War despite their promises for more lands in exchange for support after the 1915 Treaty of London, which Mussolini capitalised on, conducting the March on Rome in October 1922 and establishing himself as Prime Minister and Fascist dictator.

In comparison to the likes of the German Socialist Republic, the new Kingdom of Italy seeks expansion; specifically, through Mussolini's ideals of uniting all Italian peoples and conquering the Mediterranean, in the hopes of one day forming a new Roman Empire. Italy is one of the main countries to recognise the German Free State as the rightful Germany over the republic.

## Note on the History

Aside from some minor alterations in history, such as the extension of the Great War and the lack of relations between Germany and Italy, the majority of the Italian history is the same up until now.

### Stay with Mussolini

The player can maintain the status quo and stay with Mussolini in hopes of one day achieving the Roman imperial glory, leading Italy likely into war with the German Socialist Republic on the side of the Freistaat and the other European powers.

### The Balbo Coup

The player can choose to adopt Mussolini's infamous incompetence and have him eventually ousted from power in favour of Italo Balbo's National-Syndicalist front, abolishing the King and establishing an Italian Social Republic. This, in theory, could put Italy in agreements with the DSR, if the cards are played right.

### The King Takes Command

The player can choose to reject the Fascist tide and side with the King, to reinstate monarchic glory over Italy, or to pursue democracy once again.
Wakatsuki Reijirō

Liberalism

Progressivism

Baron **Wakatsuki Reijirō** is the current Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan since 1931. He has served as Prime Minister twice: the first time following the death of Prime Minister Katō Takaaki, and the second time following the removal of Hamaguchi Osachi, after which Wakatsuki assumed leadership of the Rikken Minseitō, or the Constitutional Democratic Party. The party promotes liberalism, conservatism, progressivism and some forms of social democracy, sitting in the Centre of Japanese party politics.

Wakatsuki has openly advocated Japan's position as the bulwark of Asia and has approved of its membership in the Council of Allies, often forming diplomatic negotiations with its most dominant ally, the United Kingdom. He believes that Japan is stronger as a member of the Council, with Britain approving of Japan's holdings in Asia and its influence in China in exchange for colonial vested interests to be maintained.

Wakatsuki as Prime Minister has been at odds with various other Japanese political officials, specifically Inukai Tsuyoshi of the Rikken Seiyūkai (Constitutional Association of Political Friendship), the main conservative party of Japan. Not only that, but since his rise to power as Prime Minister, he has overseen a conflict between the Japanese government and the Japanese military, specifically over attempting to sway the mind of the new and impressionable Emperor, Hirohito. Wakatsuki seeks re-election in the 1932 general election, of which will be a decisive battle for Japan's political future as the bulwark of Asia.
Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.

**Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr.**, abbreviated to **Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.**, is an American statesman and a potential candidate for the Democratic Party in the 1932 Presidential election. Despite supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt's candidacy, Kennedy tossed his hat into the ring in the case that the big three, including the reformist Roosevelt, the radical Huey Long and the liberal lukewarm Al Smith were not seen as good enough candidates for the Presidency.

While Kennedy himself does not have as much of an economic plan as the others, he has been seen as a candidate still worth taking serious note of, due to his commitment to softening American isolationism and forming stronger trade bonds with the likes of the United Kingdom and France, and potentially seeing the United States enter into the Council of Allies.
Corporate Party

Anti-Socialism

Anti-Prohibition

The **Corporate Party** is a new third party in the United States. Their ideology, which they have described as Corporatism, advocates for a dominance of politics through corporations and enterprises, with a focus on promoting international capitalism as a reaction to the rise in socialist ideas in Germany and the Soviet Union. The nomination for the Corporate Party in the 1932 Presidential election is Alphonse Capone, advocating for corporatist control in the United States to maintain the American booming enterprise, but also to end Prohibition and make alcohol a marketable product of corporate control. They were formed following sceptical reactions to the methods of economic survival presented by the Republicans and the Democrats.
Abe Isoo

Agrarian Reform

Pacifism

**Abe Isoo** is a Japanese statesman, Christian Socialist and the de facto leader of the Rikken Minseitō's social democratic wing. A more radical face among the typically centrist party, Abe advocates for agrarian reform, pacifism and democratic socialism, as well as preaching the Unitarian sect of Christianity. Formerly holding membership in the Shakai Minshū-tō, Abe defected to Rikken Minseitō as a result of Japanese politics' increasing polarisation.

Whilst Abe and his supporters have officially denounced Communism, he still remains in close contact with Japan's rising Communist movement, leaving many uncertain where his true loyalties lie. Accusations of corruption, underhanded tactics and influence peddling have severely rocked Abe's popularity, though support for the social democrats remains solid.

Should Japan's impending political crisis boil over into catastrophe, Abe may find himself at the helm of the Imperial Diet, with more ambition than sense and an entire house against him. Asia may yet find peace under his wing, enacting détente with China against imperialism and forming strong diplomatic unions with free nations across the continent.

Benito Mussolini

**Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini**, or simply **Benito Mussolini**, is the current Fascist dictator of the Kingdom of Italy. He assumed power in the 1922 March on Rome, in which he and his followers threatened the King, and boosted Mussolini into the position of Prime Minister.

Mussolini was once an avid socialist, before being exiled from his party for supporting the Great War in the belief that it would spur socialist revolution. In a way, Mussolini's prediction was right given the war culminating into the birth of the German Socialist Republic, but for Mussolini, the proof meant that he was destined for greatness. With this, he created a new concept: Fascism. His belief ensued a uniting of all Italian peoples under a new Italian Empire, which would span the Mediterranean and reform the Roman Empire to its new glory.

Culminating into the figurehead of Fascism in Europe, Mussolini declared himself 'Il Duce' of Italy, and currently leads a military campaign, with dreams of one day uniting all Italian peoples and dominating the Mediterranean. His ideology has put him at odds with the likes of Germany, but his ideas have spread to the likes of Erich Ludendorff in the German Free State, as well as activist Adolf Hitler, both with similar aspirations for their new German state.

Mussolini's grip on Italy, to some, may be seen as slipping; his loyal companion, Italo Balbo and his followers of National-Syndicalism may one day usurp his power, should Mussolini be cast from leadership for making the wrong move.
Labour Party

Nationalism (Mosleyite Faction)

The **Labour Party** is the governing part of the United Kingdom. It stands for a spectrum of centrist to left-wing agendas, but specifically focus on appealing to the working man in contrast to the aristocratic focus of the Conservative Party. The current party leader and Prime Minister is Oswald Mosley, a moderate socialist and staunch imperialist, who leads a nationalist faction within the party. Mosley led the party in the 1931 general election, becoming the first Labour Prime Minister to hold a majority government.
Maoism

Mao Zedong Thought

**Maoism**, otherwise known as **Mao Zedong Thought**, is a form of Communism present in the Communist Party of China as a fringe movement to the Communism of the 28 Bolsheviks. It was built and is spearheaded by Mao Zedong. The ideology encompasses the call for a socialist revolution in a pre-industrial and agricultural society, and puts first the peasantry as the revolutionary vanguard instead of the proletariat as presented in Marx's industrial vision.
Eric Campbell

**Eric Campbell** is a Fascist politician in Australasia. As leader of the New Guard, he promotes Australian nationalism in the Australian-New Zealand Confederation balance of power. In the case of a George Forbes administration and New Zealand dominance in parliament, instability can result in the Confederation breaking and Eric Campbell leading Australia in the fallout. However, such an event would likely result in intervention from the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth nations, to restore order and stability in Oceania.
André Tardieu

Liberalism

Laicism

**André Pierre Gabriel Amédée Tardieu**, or simply just **André Tardieu**, is the current Prime Minister of France and a member of the Alliance démocratique. Tardieu is a strong conservative Prime Minister along with President Albert Lebrun. Following the events of the March on Paris in May 1930, Tardieu and Lebrun committed themselves to clamping down on socialism in the public and in the government as much as possible. Because of this, Tardieu has become a hate figure amongst many French socialists, and some have even tried to assassinate him, albeit unsuccessfully.

Tardieu's current struggles as Prime Minister is maintaining the straight and narrow in the government. The alliance of conservative parties in the government against socialism has bred ideas of monarchism (and in some rare cases, Fascism) which has left the government strongly divided. Tardieu maintained that the government had to remain a unified bulwark against the likes of German Spartacism and communism, and has stated on many account that if France were to fall, then the German Socialist Republic would be able to reclaim their lands, which France cannot afford to do.
Republican Party

Conservative Factions

The **Republican Party**, or **Grand Old Party**, is a conservative political party one of the major political parties in the United States. It is the main rival of the Democratic Party. The incumbent President, Herbert Hoover, is a member. The Republican Party candidates have won every election since 1916, starting with Charles Evans Hughes and finishing with Hoover, dominating the entirety of the 1920s. The candidates for the Republican Party in the 1932 Presidential election are:

* Herbert Hoover (incumbent President)
* John J. Blaine (Opposing Three - most likely to win)
* Joseph I. France (Opposing Three - close to Blaine)
* James Wolcott Wadsworth Jr. (Opposing Three - supporting Blaine)
* Douglas MacArthur (Unofficial nomination)
Wilhelm II

**Wilhelm II**, born **Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert**, is a political exile living in the German Free State and head of the House of Hohenzollern who was once the Emperor (Kaiser) of the German Empire. During the Great War, Wilhelm II became a largely unpopular figure following what many perceived to be a needless extension of a war that was needlessly costing lives. Hatred from the German working class against the Kaiser mounted which resulted in him announcing his abdication, of which did not officially happen. A failure in the Great War in 1919 and a subsequent socialist revolution by the working class in 1920 sent Wilhelm II and his loyal government to East Prussia, while the mainland became the German Socialist Republic.

Although Wilhelm II is theoretically not in power, his presence is still known, and he has faith that one day he may be returned to the throne. His main contender for return is General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, who believes the way forward for the Freistaat should be to reinstall the monarchy as a bulwark against socialism, whether it be the unpopular Wilhelm II or his less experienced son, Wilhelm III.
Gregor Strasser

**Gregor Strasser** is a potential Volksführer for the German Socialist Republic, if certain conditions are met. Strasser's form of German Spartacism encompasses forms of Fascism and Antisemitism, of which he sees as vital for the survival of the Republic. He believes that the liberalisation of the ideology under Walter Ulbricht will only be a detriment rather than a benefit and its most inevitable path would lead to its self-destruction. Through these ideas, Strasser's alternative he calls Strasserism.

Strasser can be brought to power in the DSR through a coup, conducted by Ernst Röhm. If Röhm does not consolidate power into himself as a military dictator, he can choose to bring Strasser into power as the new Volksführer, with the implementation of Strasserism as the new form of German Spartacism.
Albert Lebrun

Liberalism

Laicism

**Albert François Lebrun**, or simply **Albert Lebrun**, is the current President of France since 1931 and a member of the Alliance démocratique. Lebrun is a strong conservative President who seeks to maintain the Republic under a strong rightist government. Representing the governing National Bloc and witnessing the growing power of the German Socialist Republic, Lebrun and his Prime Minister André Tardieu have committed themselves to keeping socialism clamped down as much as possible and to maintain France's integrity as a strong global player and member of the Council of Allies.

In May 1930, Lebrun witnessed the March on Paris, an attempt by radical revolutionary socialists to take control of the French government. He described this event as his grand revelation of the dangers of socialism, and he was appointed to the Presidency on the promise that no such event would happen again. As head of the government alliance, Lebrun has faced strong competition by the likes of monarchists who seek to establish Napoleon VI as the new French Emperor, but Lebrun has maintained that the integrity of the Republic must be maintained. Any stretch into the likes of monarchism would be detrimental to stability, and would be the perfect basis for a much larger socialist revolution.
Zhang Xueliang

**Zhang Xueliang**, or alternatively **Chang Hsüeh-liang**, is the son of Zhang Zuolin and a potential leader of Manchukuo. Along with his father, Zhang escaped from the Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek, retreating to Manchuria and making a deal with the Japanese for protection. His father is the Prime Minister of the country, and he serves as a military general in the Japanese military garrison in China.

With the possibility of his father dying, Zhang Xueliang can take over as the warlord of Manchuria, and appointed Prime Minister by the Japanese administration. Manchurian Prime Ministers do not have a set limit to their leadership, meaning if he comes to power, Zhang could rule as Prime Minister for an extensive amount of time.

Much like his father, as leader, Zhang would likely see Manchukuo enter war with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China to finally unify China again, and potentially see Puyi ascend back to the throne.
Corporatism

Supreme Capitalism (Alphonse Capone)

**Corporatism** is an ideology which advocates for complete corporate control over governments. It emerged as a reaction to German Spartacism and Stalinism, with the intention of upholding international capitalism and promoting a state of Enterprise-Government Monopolism, or businesses running the economy and the government together. These ideas were originally captivated as 'Supreme Capitalism' by American businessman and gangster Alphonse Capone as part of his newly formed Corporate Party.

Some have described corporatism as an obscure branch of both Classical Fascism and Paternal Autocracy, but many corporatists state that this is not their agenda. While corporatism in itself has been recognised as Right-Wing and Anti-Socialist, some corporatists such as Capone have used their wealth and corporate power to fund welfare groups and unions. Some would declare themselves to be a socialist movement, which has made corporatism an obscure ideology without a definitive position on the spectrum.
T. E. Lawrence

Colonel **Thomas Edward Lawrence**, commonly known as **T. E. Lawrence** and by his nickname **Lawrence of Arabia**, is a British war veteran who was renowned for his involvement in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Hashemite Kingdom of Arabia, as a British ambassador and diplomat. He is a potential leader of the country as a military occupier if a civil war kicks off between the Hashemites and the Saudis. After which, Lawrence can either keep power as a military dictator, becoming a rogue leader, or transition power back to the Hashemites, or establish a new Arabian state.
Li Zongren

**Li Zongren**, alternatively **Li Tsung-jen**, is a military commander for the Kuomintang and potential coup option. A staunch opponent of Chinese-Japanese collaborationism, he can coup the Nationalist government if Chiang Kai-shek agrees to the Ultimate Merger option of the Kuomintang and Manchukuo. If this is the case, Li Zongren can lead the Kuomintang into a two-front war against the Communist Party of China and the Japanese, which many would likely consider to be an impossible war.
John J. Blaine

**John James Blaine**, abbreviated as **John J. Blaine**, is a potential candidate for the Republican Party in the 1932 Presidential elections. Blaine is a Senator from Wisconsin, and tossed his hat into the ring as one of the opposing three (others including Joseph I. France and James Wolcott Wadsworth Jr.) to the incumbent Presidency of Herbert Hoover. Of the opposing three, Blaine has been described as having the most chance of winning.
Al Smith

**Alfred Emanuel Smith**, commonly known as **Al Smith**, is an American statesman and potential candidate for the Democratic Party in the 1932 Presidential elections. Despite his economic ideas being described as lukewarm in comparison to the reformist ideas of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the radical ideas of Huey Long, Smith still believes he has a strong potential to be nominated. The former Governor of New York was the unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic Party in 1928 against Herbert Hoover, but given the President's sour track record as of late, Smith believes a second attempt at a run would turn the tide and could see a President Smith later than hoped.
Bo Gu

**Bo Gu**, or **Po Ku**, originally born **Qin Bangxian**, is the incumbent General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. A member of the 28 Bolsheviks, Bo Gu took the reins as leader during the expansion of the CPC and the start of the infighting between the traditional Communists and the newly rising Maoist movement. His leadership since has been unstable as much as it has been fulfilling; while the CPC has seen expansion in the West under his command, infighting between Wang Ming and Mao Zedong has left his position widely criticised.

Bo Gu has several options ahead of him. To maintain power, he'd need to form a consensus between the Maoists and the traditionalists; whether that be give concessions to one side, or potentially punish both. If Bo Gu himself cannot do it, then his protégé, Zhang Wentian, might be able to, lest he sees his Communist Party fall into the grips of Wang Ming with Mao out of the picture, or see it embrace Maoism as its true way forward.
Brazilian Military Junta

- João de Deus Mena Barreto

The **Brazilian Military Junta**, consisting of Isaías de Noronha, Augusto Tasso Fragoso and João de Deus Mena Barreto, is the incumbent administration and military dictatorship in Brazil since 1930. Originally formed to oust President Washington Luís after a fraudulent election, the junta took power in October, with the expectation to hand power over to their rightful winner, Getúlio Vargas. In early November, however, Vargas was assassinated by a communist assailant, sparking conflicts between the Brazilian Integralists and Communists.

The junta has had to restore order through martial law on several accounts while trying to consider alternatives. For example, the junta ordered for the July 1931 São Paulo Massacre, which resulted in the deaths of sixteen revolutionary Communist insurgents by Brazilian soldiers. The methods, although brutal, helped keep the peace for longer.

However, the junta's grip over Brazil is slipping, and with calls for aid sent to the United States of America and countries of the Council of Allies to intervene, time will only tell as to how long the junta can remain alive for.
John Nance Garner

**John Nance Garner III**, sometimes nicknamed **Cactus Jack**, is the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives potential candidate for the Democratic Party in the 1932 Presidential election. Garner, much like fellow candidate Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., tossed his hat into the ring in case the big three, consisting of the reformist Franklin D. Roosevelt, the radical Huey Long and the lukewarm Al Smith, were not seen as competent candidates for the nomination. Despite this, Garner has thrown support behind the New Deal, as proposed by FDR, and a deal could be worked out between the two; however the lengths of which he supports the deal are not as high as one might hope, opposing its proposed deficit spending and labour union strikes. Garner does seek out the nomination, however, believing he would be a just President.
Italo Balbo

**Italo Balbo** is an Italian politician and close associate of the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Balbo previously served in the Great War, and too felt betrayed by the lack of reward Italy received following the 1915 Treaty of London. He joined and helped Mussolini in the March on Rome in October 1922 as one of the main four involved, being escalated to the role of a Quadrumvir in the Grand Council of Fascism. Balbo is a key Italian aviator and the current Minister of the Air Force.

Despite this, Balbo holds his own reservations. Despite his close relations with Mussolini, Balbo is a keen pursuer of National-Syndicalism, a left-leaning form of Fascism. It is highly possible that, in a scenario where the two disagree or Mussolini may one day be ousted from power, Balbo himself could usurp the role and lead Italy to greatness.
Strasserism

Worker-Based Fascism

Antisemitism

Fascistic German Spartacism

**Strasserism** is a potential ideology that can be pursued by the German Socialist Republic if certain circumstances are met. If the 1932 Volksführer elections go ahead with Walter Ulbricht winning, military leader Ernst Röhm can launch a coup on the grounds that the Republic is becoming too liberalised, and from there can choose a radical alternative by restructuring German Spartacism again. A potential option is going with Gregor Strasser, which would implement the tenets of Strasserism into the mainstream German Spartacist ideology.

Strasserism includes a Fascistic form of socialism, combining elements of ultranationalism, mass action and worker-based Fascism into its tenets. Strasserism also aims to corrupt the so-called 'Jewish elite' of Germany, believing that they are the puppet-masters behind the evils of capitalism.
National-Syndicalism

Militarism

Italian Nationalism (Italo Balbo)

**National-Syndicalism** is an ideology best described as a left-leaning and original version of Fascism. Recently, the ideology was brought back into the limelight following the rise of Benito Mussolini in Italy, and the activism of fellow Fascist associate Italo Balbo. The ideology holds to account various Fascist tenets, while incorporating a worker-based economy, syndicate-corporate alliances and in the case of Italy, Italian nationalism. While the ideology is only so far as far as a sub-branch of Fascism, Balbo's potential ascendency to leadership of Italy may be the driving point needed to push National-Syndicalism onto the modern stage.
Douglas MacArthur

**Douglas MacArthur** is the current Chief of Staff of the United States Army, and an unofficial ballot for the Republican Party nomination for the 1932 Presidential election. MacArthur, although unexpected to win, tossed his hat into the ring as a last resort candidate if the other candidates, including the incumbent President Herbert Hoover and the members of the opposing three (Blaine, France and Wadsworth), were seen as too unappealing for the party voters.

MacArthur has held strong prominence as of late, rising to prominence in his involvement in the Mexican Revolution. Since then, MacArthur became a strong symbol of American militarism and might, serving in the US Military Academy at West Point before later becoming President of the American Olympic Committee during the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. He finally became Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1930.

Now with some prominence to his name, MacArthur has held subtle ideas of one day becoming President, whether that be through his unofficial candidacy in the 1932 Presidential election, or at a later stage; or to take power potentially through a coup if the United States needs him the most.
Inukai Tsuyoshi

Revisionist Capitalism

Monarchism

**Inukai Tsuyoshi** is a Japanese statesman and leader of the Rikken Seiyūkai (Constitutional Association of Political Friendship), a strongly conservative and monarchist political party. A contender in the upcoming general election, Inukai has been a staunch opponent of the incumbent Prime Minister, Wakatsuki Reijirō, and his Rikken Minseitō (Constitutional Democratic Party).

Swayed by vested Japanese imperial interests, Inukai approves of Japan's membership of the Council of Allies, and holds military sympathies that Japan should be the guardian angel of Asia against communism. Moreover, Inukai has approved of military alliances with the likes of the United Kingdom, its strongest trading and military partner, with strong areas of contempt towards the United States and their growing strength in the Pacific.

Inukai, much like the Prime Minister, has overseen a rise in tensions and conflict between the government and the military, of which he believes a suitable option should be to emphasise the power of the Emperor, Hirohito, to handle the matter. A strong believer in Japanese national stability, Inukai believes the Emperor should become the symbol of guidance for the Japanese people that he is meant to be, rather than let him become a puppet on a string to the military. A possible election in 1932 could give Inukai that very foundation to save Japanese democracy and uphold the divinity of the monarchy.

Luís Carlos Prestes

(Not to be confused with Júlio Prestes.)

**Luís Carlos Prestes** is the leader of the communist insurgent forces in Brazil. Prestes took the reins as a leading figure of Brazilian communism following the assassination of Getúlio Vargas and the victimisation of the Brazilian communist movement as a result. Now with the Brazilian Military Junta slipping in its grip over the country, Prestes has become a figurehead of revolution, and is destined to lead the movement into combat with the Integralists.

Prestes is the most likely leader for Brazil in a scenario where the United States of America or the Council of Allies do not intervene in the upcoming Brazilian Civil War. Without much opposition and with German and Soviet support, Prestes can take over the country rather swiftly, crushing the weakened and disorganised Integralist forces, and return Brazil to its former glory as the token piece of South America.

Liberalism

Coffee with Milk Politics

(Not to be confused with Luís Carlos Prestes.)

**Júlio Prestes de Albuquerque**, or simply **Júlio Prestes**, was the elected President of Brazil before the Revolution of 1930 and the transition of power to the Brazilian Military Junta. Prestes was the chosen heir of previous President Washington Luís, and faced Getúlio Vargas in the election. Although Prestes won, the election was declared fraudulent and he never took office. When Vargas was assassinated, the Junta remained in power and Prestes believed a new Presidency would have to take hold. The only reason why it did not, was because the Junta believed martial law had to be put in place following rising conflicts between the rising Integralist movement and the insurgent Communist movement.

Prestes, however, still has a chance to become President. When the Junta's power eventually and inevitably slips and the Brazilian Civil War kicks off, possible intervention from the United States of America or the Council of Allies could result in democracy being reimplemented if both the Integralists and the Communists are beaten; in which case, Prestes, although an unstable leader given the events of the 1930 Revolution, may still take the reins as President of Brazil to lead his country into democratic reconstruction.
Alphonse Capone

**Alphonse Gabriel Capone**, or simply **Al Capone**, is a mob boss and entrepreneur who is also the candidate for the Corporate Party in the 1932 presidential election. Capone is widely regarded as the founder of the Corporatist ideology, being highly sceptical of the perceived failed methods of Republican President and candidate Herbert Hoover and the potentially extreme methods of the Democratic Party, such as the reformist and subtly socialist schemes of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the radical or Fascist methods of Democrat candidate Huey Long.

Capone's methods to tackling the economic crisis is by alleviating prohibition and making alcohol a marketable product again, as well as opening the United States to international enterprise, including the Banana Republics and European markets. Capone as well believes that the success of organised crime and underground companies in comparison to the Federal government is no mere coincidence, and suggests that enterprise control, which he dubs 'Supreme Capitalism', will save the American economy from collapse.

The Corporate Party acts as a third party in the election, but still has a substantial chance at making a difference, with some Republicans and Democrats seeing Corporatism as a potentially safe option in comparison to the other suggestions made by Hoover and the Democratic candidates. Although Capone has a criminal reputation, the lack of evidence to convict him has made Capone a rightful candidate in the election, one that he could win if he plays his cards right.
Lady Maud Leighton

**Lady Maud Alix Josephine Leighton** (born April 23, 1838 - died April 26, 1902) was a British noblewomen from the Victorian era, a photographer; She was the daughter of Liam, 9th Earl Leighton and his wife Alix Sunderland, a sister-in-law of Prince Alexander, Duke of Sussex after the marriage of her younger sister Hannah and an aunt of Princess Victoria of Sussex, Prince Edward, 2nd Duke of Sussex, Prince Charles Victor of Sussex and Princess Adelaide of Sussex. Her only brother was John, 10th Earl Leighton (b. 1839 - d. 1912); She married Duke Augustus of Oldenburg firstly and had Duke Alexander Augustus of Oldenburg. After she was widowed after the death of her husband (after a 4 years marriage), She later remarried to Lord William Leighton (her paternal first cousin) and had two daughters (Alix and Eliza) and two sons (Nicholas and Liam). She died at Leighton House in Sheffield, Yorkshire, *aged 64*.
Maurice Thorez

**Maurice Thorez** is a French communist politician, and one of the underground socialist agents against the government. Believed to be involved in the May 1930 March on Paris, an arrest warrant was called for him, but Thorez went into hiding across the border in the German Socialist Republic. Since then, he has been the subject of government propaganda against socialism.

Thorez has since waited for an opportunity to strike again. If the time comes when the Albert Lebrun and André Tardieu government falls, Thorez and his supporters can work to usurp it, and re-establish the French Republic as a new socialist state, whether that be aligned with the Germans, the Soviet Union, or standing alone in the upcoming Roterkrieg.
James Wolcott Wadsworth Jr.

**James Wolcott Wadsworth Jr.** is a potential candidate for the Republican Party in the 1932 Presidential elections. Wadsworth is a former Senator from New York, and tossed his hat into the ring as one of the opposing three (others including John J. Blaine and Joseph I. France) to the incumbent Presidency of Herbert Hoover. Of the opposing three, Wadsworth has had the least chance of securing the nomination, being heavily supportive of Blaine to take the lead.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

**Franklin Delano Roosevelt**, shortened to **Franklin D. Roosevelt** or simply just **FDR**, is an American Governor of New York and a candidate for the Democratic Party in the 1932 Presidential election. A liberal yet reformist economist, FDR has proposed economic reforms which he has entitled 'The New Deal' to bring America out of the economic crisis. Much like the other Democratic candidates, FDR has been largely sceptical of President Herbert Hoover's mishandling of the economic crisis and believes stretches need to be made for the American economy to bolster itself.

FDR is quite a keen candidate, despite some of his social views not aligning correctly with the country's. FDR has been described by many as too soft on socialism and not as isolationist as the people would want, which resulted in the loss of support from candidate Huey Long, and the initiation of his own campaign.

The New Deal, if implemented, is expected to bolster America out of the depression and back onto the world stage, if Roosevelt has the chance to implement it.
Ernst Thälmann

**Ernst Johannes Fritz Thälmann**, shortened to **Ernst Thälmann**, is the Home Minister of the German Socialist Republic. After the first Volksführer Karl Liebknecht was declared unfit to rule, Thälmann was widely regarded to be his suitable successor, and he ran for leadership against Walter Ulbricht and August Thalheimer. When the former revealed a potentially fabricated document suggesting that he was groomed to be the successor, the Rat der Kommissare backed Ulbricht who went on to become Volksführer. Thälmann and Thalheimer were both given government roles to maintain the stability.

Thälmann has since edged on his want to become leader. Following Ulbricht's declaration that there would be Volksführer elections starting in 1932, Thälmann announced his intention to run against his old comrades. An internationalist, Thälmann is a strong supporter of the ideals of Leon Trotsky in spreading the world revolution and establishing German Spartacism as the forefront model of socialism. Thälmann has also been hinted to want to regress the changes Ulbricht made to Spartacism, believing that the ideology should return to the ways of Liebknecht's original concept.
