What if the Maxifolian War For Independence Failed

## Background

In 1841 after the official downfall of the Sheaman Dictatorial Isle governor and times looking up for the Maxifolians with the official declaration of independence being signed in 1841 and the declaration of war against the British Empire. The problem was that this time the British government decided to invest heavily in the army and in 1846 with a long bloodbath of wars the Maxifolian government called for an armistice.

## Treaty of Shriel-Brit

The Treaty of Shriel-Brit was a peace treaty signed in the the capital city of Shriel-Brit that defined an official end to the long war of blood spilled and a new era of control over the colonies. The British Empire redefined independence and nationalism in Sheaman and crushed rebellious group by placing Queen Victoria as Empress of the newly named British East Pacific. The treaty was known as a violation of Sheaman rights in the country and the national identify of "Sheaman" was issued as illegal and was replaced as British or Pacifican British. The treaty also defined a system of segregation for non christians and harsh punishments for those specifically Maxifolian which stated that "those who identify and practise a Maxifolian religion or Maxifolian sub-religion will be prosecuted without trial and without question in the harshest way possible." Arthur C. Gray commented on this as a Maxifolian nationalist by saying "These no statements of treaty and constitution show much more pain for Maxifolian, Sheaman citizens who believe in a different life that differs from European culture. Instead this system will segregate people that are non-christians even those who supported and fought for the British would still suffering under being segregated into horrible stingy communities." Arthur C. Gray said these sentences in public on the 5th of April 1846 in which 30 minutes later he was arrested and tortured in public until he was hung. The treaty underlined that Queen Victoria held full authority over laws in the country and that parliament had absolutely no right to stand up against the Queen. In the middle of the treaty it stated that Max Colton-Gray and all known relatives to him would be prosecuted by death and Max Colton-Gray would receive the most painful punishment.

Many people spoke out against the treaty but those who dared to speak were criminalized by their own family and friends to be honoured a name and not death. Many people turned in their loved ones that spoke out against the treaty because they knew that they could profit off of it and not lose their life in uncovered. one famous protester called Hamilton Mill who was a Black slave who was transported to the colony in 1830 by poor conditions to work for a rich white family was released from slavery in 1834. Hamilton protested for black rights and Maxifolian Nationalism from 1834-1846 being arrested and escaping many times until he was finally caught and left to be murdered by a brown bear in 1846. Hamilton was the leader of the Black Nationalist Community of Freedom and Rights from 1834-1846 and was a member of the Maxifolian Revolutionary Council from 1838-1846.

## Early Oppression 1846-1856

From 1846-1856 strong control of nationalists and segregation was enforced (until a later date in the 20th century) which caused massive unrest in the population and a broken colony.

Whilst Lord John Russell was prime minister of the United Kingdom form 1846-1852 he strongly opposed the extreme measures taken against the people of the British East Pacific and was the first Prime Minister to step up against the "cruel rule" and take action. He demanded that Queen Victoria destroy the treaty and create a more fair treaty but Queen Victoria told him to "known your place" and he backed down in 1847.

Many people in the British East Pacific suffered a lot and only the wealthy capitalistic Christians held the authority with legislation in 1850 allowing any Christian to discriminate or harm a non-christian which was changed in 1853 to only include Maxifolians. Although people spoke out in numbers eventually it was impossible to even talk about nationalism because of the extreme measures taken to "neutralize the colony" by Queen Victoria.

When Henry John Temple became prime minister he also spoke out against treaty of Shriel-Brit and demanded actions be taken to change the treaty and create a British East Pacific government. Eventually in 1856 Queen Victoria considered his decision and decided to remove a few articles in the constitution including the extreme measures to oppress Maxifolians and non-Christians and the law that allowed the discrimination and killing of Maxifolians. She also granted the East Pacific colonies a government who would be appointed by Queen Victoria and reviewed by parliament every 10 years. WIth this the British East Pacific colony created a government and got granted some very basic reforming powers.
