Ending at Visegrad (January-March, 1916).

Treaty of Visegrad]

On January 4, 1916, the Allied Bloc and the London-Berlin Axis finally ratified the Treaty of Visegrad, ending the New Great War or World War II (as later historians would call it).

This effectively ended the majority of conflicts on an international scale related to World War II. The armed forces of the great powers began to return home, unless they were required somewhere.

But what was there to return?

The international economy was going through a very bad time in many ways, and the best ones had simply managed to stay afloat.

* The 1900s and WW2 years were the 'Lost Decade' of the United States of America.

* The British Empire was reeling in a hasty reorganization to crush internal revolts and try to save the pound.

* China was indeed destroyed.

* Most of the Latin American economies were in debt or in ruin. The Latin American economies in the best shape were Gran Colombia and Uruguay.

* Western European countries were reorganizing towards socialism.

* Germany was effectively divided, with the eastern part heavily destroyed.

And the list can continue.

If we talk about territorial and international situations, things were not much better. Similar to the 1901 Treaty of Paris, the 1916 Treaty of Visegrad was simply the basis for the next World War.

The British Empire abandoned (temporarily, according to English revengeists) Ireland to set out to crush the major Indian revolts in the northern Raj. Most of the old English territories remained in English possession.

In addition, they now occupied most of the African continent and Indonesia, which would be vital for important military and economic projects.

In a sense, the war saved and could be the destruction of the Imperial Federation. The British 'victory' would help the national unification of the federation states, they only had to survive a few more tests ...

The Russian Empire, by annexing some territories and colonies of old Germany, effectively solidified its dominance over the Russosphere on the international stage.

Northern China, most of the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and much of the Middle East. Now after the treaty, Tsar Nicholas II wanted to focus on ambitious new reconstruction and rearmament projects for the future.

Among the observable changes:

* Bohemia joined the Kingdom of Czechoslovakia, making Nicholas I king of Czechoslovakia. Although obviously without as much power as in Russia.

* Cilicia annexes the island of Cyprus.

* The Russian colonial empire annexed German East Africa (Tanzania and Uganda).

* Thailand made Cambodia a protectorate.

* Aceh and the Lanfang Republic annexed nearby territories.

* Novaya Gvineya now owned the entire eastern part of Papua New Guinea.

The Republic of China had regained the territory of Yunnan and Hainan, but now they faced a new struggle for power after the loss of northern China to Russia and the death of President Sun Yat-sen.

Japan turned Vietnam into a new protectorate at the cost of leaving the Philippines, ruled by Gregorio del Pilar.

Laos became a kind of condominium between Japan and Thailand, although Japan was the country that paid the most attention and resources to said condominium.

The United States didn't actually earn much, that was especially frustrating for American nationalists and revengeists. They had only managed to preserve their territories in Panama and Hispaniola, plus their sphere of influence in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador.

Everything else had resulted in a huge loss for the American giant:

* British influence extended through Chile and Peru-Bolivia, threatening even more in the future.

* The Free Republic of Mexico had annexed the Petén of Guatemala with impunity.

* The war objectives in North America and the Caribbean had been extremely unsuccessful against the Imperial Federation.

* The internal situation of the country was in decline for various reasons ...

Socialist Europe for its part solidified, and made plans for the support of socialist movements in danger in other parts of the world.

With varying degrees of success and failure of course.

In short, most of the people were not entirely satisfied with the Visegrad Treaty. But it was time to go home and prepare for the next world war, which would come sooner or later.

It was time to solidify profits, new colonies and areas of influence. Rebuild economies and armies.

It was not an easy task, but many countries would do it. Those who did not fell in the attempt or became a little more unstable.

*******

[International Politics: Middle East.]

*Persia:

Persia was effectively within the sphere of the post-New Great War Russian Empire, the Persians and Russians successfully driving out British influence from the state and eliminating British troops on Persian soil.

Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar remained monarch ... a solid monarch on feet of clay, now that Persia had a huge external debt to the Russian Empire, which instead controlled important economic sectors such as oil.

The Shah Mohammad had, indeed, outlived his usefulness to Tsar Nicholas II. The czar of the Russian Empire initially began discussions with the Shah of Persia, so that he will accept certain minimal reforms in economic and political aspects.

But after having lived through the constitutional revolts, the Shah refused. Of course, the Shah could do nothing about Russian influence in the Persian state.

Result of the modernization of the Persian Cossacks, the Persian military complex and the oil industry being, effectively, in the pocket of the Russian Empire.

This is why Tsar Nicholas II effectively started plans for a change of government in the Qajar dynasty.

But who was willing to help Nicholas II? Very simple, other members of the Qajar dynasty.

Nicholas II used various military and political assets displeased with the autocratic rule of Persia and who had survived the purges of the constitutional revolts.

This was Soleiman Mirza Eskandari, Prince Qajar and uncle of Iraj Eskandari, aged 8-9 (whose father, Yahya Mirza Eskandari, had died in 1909). Nicholas II planned early to make Iraj Eskandari the Shah of Persia, placing Mirza Eskandari as regent.

The Eskandari belonged to a much more constitutionalist and moderate politics than the main line of the Qajar dynasty, associating with Democrats, Socialists, and other center-left politics.

The Eskandari would be the political administrative face and heart, but the military would also play a vital role.

In this, the efforts of Nicholas II and the KGB were supported by the Russian-Persian general Feyzullah Mirza Qajar, another Qajar prince (with ties to Russia and Russian Azerbaijan).

Feyzullah Mirza Qajar conspired with the Persian Cossacks and other military personnel to effectively end the rule of his relative. An official young man, Reza Khan (later patriarch of the Pahlavi family), would be part of this support for the coup.

It would take some time, but Tsar Nicholas II was patient. He rebuilt the opposition to the Shah from within and waited for an effective change in the Tehran government, now working with the moderate opposition led by Soleiman Mirza Eskandari and the pro-Russian military from Persia.

In return Russia obviously promised capital investments to the new regime, some favors and allow certain reforms in the Persian state.

* Ha'il:

The signing of the Treaty of Visegrad allowed Russia to pay more attention to the southern Middle East, by previous Alexandrian policies, Tsar Nicholas II did not want to stick a finger in Palestine-Holy Land or Mecca.

They were too troublesome places.

So in reality, the Russian Empire didn't have much of a choice to deal with the situation. The pan-Arabists had gained much strength in the region after the New Great War.

With this, Tsar Nicholas II gave his approval to the unification of Palestine-Jordan (under the administration of Abdullah bin Al-Hussein) and the Emirate of Ha'il, led by Saud bin Abdulaziz (of the Rasheed / Rashidi Dynasty).

Of course, in return, the new country would obtain a notable debt to the Russian Empire (product of the resources that Russia had sent to Palestine-Jordan in the Middle East locust infestation, investments in Ha'il, etc).

While it was clear that Palestine-Jordan and Ha'il were to be unified, the unification was delayed somewhat by discussions about HOW the new pan-Arab state would be administered and other details.

It was clear that Saud bin Abdulazis would be the definitive monarch-head of state of the country, but certain autonomies and privileges had to be granted to tribes and regional authorities outside of the Central Arabia region (united by the forces of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar).

More specifically, Abdullah bin Al-Huseein asked for certain privileges in the Jordan area.

Then other issues would have to be discussed, such as the country's foreign policy ...

For the moment to seek a war against the British Empire (Oman, Yemen, the Trucial States) without support was stupid, but Egypt was, in theory, free ...

The idea of an even larger Arab country was extremely tempting.

*******

[Russosphere: North China]

Russia had established a total of 7 states in North China that made up the Russosphere in the region. A division based on ethno-cultural and geographical lines useful for the Russian Empire against southern China.

Russian dominance in the region was based, initially, on the armed forces of the Russian Empire present in the countries, the instability of the Republic of China to the south and regional allies.

But Tsar Nicholas II understood that this idea could not be maintained forever, a mixture of diplomacy, political reform and socio-economic policies was needed to keep the new states under Russian influence.

This is why Tsar Nicholas II proposed a new Great Reconstruction Program, similar to the one his father had used in the Middle East after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

This plan called for Russian investments for infrastructure development and modernization of the puppet states created by the Russian Empire.

Of course with plans to solidify the Russian influence in the medium-long term, it would be a bit difficult, since the Chinese people do not forget easily but there were many ways to make it cooperate.

The instability of the Republic of China was a huge advantage to the Russian Empire, it gave them time to keep the northern Chinese states in line with Moscow.

Indeed, at the moment, there was no organized force to carry out the unification of China. For the moment.

* Inner Mongolia:

Inner Mongolia was a state run essentially by Mongol princes, Buddhist authorities under the Bogd Lama, and politico-military allies of the Russian Empire.

The region had a huge advantage over Outer Mongolia, in that the latter was much more populated and settled (the region was not as nomadic and more agricultural-oriented than Outer Mongolia).

The downside is that it was full of Han Chinese, which could be a problem.

So the Russian Empire had to be very careful in its plans in the region.

Initially, the main plans of the Russian Empire would be the modernization of agriculture in the region and the modernization of transport and communications.

The plan was not only to make the region more economically productive, but also to link it to the great railway and communications system of the Russian Empire.

Russia had a huge advantage over Inner Mongolia, Russia had a lot of capital, many productive forces and many outlets to the sea.

Inner Mongolia needed Russia for capital, imports, and foreign trade beyond land borders. With the Russian domination of these sectors, Inner Mongolia should fall in line.

* Islamic Federative Republic of Gansu:

The Islamic Federative Republic is actually the state created out of the Clique of the Ma family, so it is not surprising that it was effectively (politically) dominated by the Ma and their Russian allies.

The northwestern region of China was complicated geographically and culturally.

There was enormous poverty, geographical diversity (the Tibetan plateau to the south, arid territories, etc.) and a variety of cultures (the Hui, Han, Mongols, Tibetans and other peoples).

But the region was strategic for a number of reasons, including the New Silk Road of the Russian Empire.

The Gansu territory proper contained the Hexi corridor (also called for obvious reasons the Gansu corridor), which was part of the new projects of Tsar Nicholas II.

Through Russian domination of Central Asia and the independence of the Ma Clique, the New Silk Road could expand to even greater heights.

Russia could now create a trade network that will pass through Anatolia, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Balkans, the Middle East, the Caspian, Central Asia and northern China.

A huge Asian corridor of goods, capital and people.

The project would bring even more economic growth to Russian capital and the region, begin to eliminate poverty, and sediment the control of Russia and regional allies.

The Ma were convinced by the financial aspects of the project. Instead, they had to control the politics and military of the Islamic Federative Republic.

How was this done? On the one hand, through religion and allies between certain ethnic groups, such as the Hui (Chinese Muslims).

And on the other hand, through the creation of small autonomies loyal to the central government led by the Ma Clique. A certain balance was maintained within the interior of the country while Russia's reforms and plans were planted in the region.

Although the country was on paper a republic, it was de facto an oligarchy led by the Ma family, in alliance with the flow of capital and influence from Moscow.

* State of Shanxi:

Shanxi was part of the three central landlocked provinces or 'Core Countries' created in the Russosphere by the Russian Empire after the New Great War against the Republic of China.

Shanxi was one of the poorest provinces in China (generally speaking, although it obviously had certain resources of value and centers of wealth).

But it was also part of the plans of the Russian Empire.

Russia gave the government of the country to an important figure, Yan Xishan, who became undisputed supreme leader of the country of Shanxi.

A promotion that was costly, since Russia had a very close watch on Yan Xishan. The KGB and allies of Russia kept the politico-military in line when necessary.

Why put Yan Xishan?

Partly because the man was helpful, committed to Shanxi's modernization and stability. With Russia having a high hand in the situation, Yan Xishan was loyal to Russia (as long as things didn't change).

Shanxi would become an important nexus in the plans of Nicholas II, the province would be part of the New Silk Road of the Russian Empire (connecting with the Asian corridor and the maritime routes of Shandong, Zhili and Russia itself).

This involved a flow of capital, which Yan Xishan could take advantage of for the modernization of Shanxi.

Russian-backed modernization, which also ensured that such modernization laid the foundation for Russian influence in the country (military, economics, and politics).

Indeed Shanxi was a military dictatorship led by Yan Xishan, but one that aligned itself with the economic modernization of the country and the plans of the Russian Empire.

* State of Shaanxi and State of Henan:

Henan and Shaanxi were in a similar position to Yan Xishan's Shanxi ... They did not have such effective leadership, but they were still 'core countries'.

Which meant that they were important hubs for transportation and interconnections between the Russosphere in Northern China, and other economic plans of the Russian Empire such as the new plans of Nicholas II.

But they had another equally important role, a military role, both defensive and offensive.

The defense of Henan and Shaanxi was vital to the deployment of military forces, and the protection of the western and eastern parts of the regional Russosphere.

Through Henan and Shaanxi, the Russian Empire was able to defend Shandong and Gansu, due to its direct position on the border against the Republic of China.

For this reason, Russia played a very important role in the modernization of the local armed forces and their infrastructure. Core countries had to keep up in case the ROC regrouped or there were problems in local countries.

This served not only Russia's military-economic interests, but also political ones.

Russian forces in the countries were responsible for many modernization and training programs, which expanded Russian influence in the agencies of those countries.

Nicholas II's plan with these core countries went quite well in several respects, although of course the fruits would take years to fully come out.

* Republic of Zhili:

Zhili is the old capital territory of the Qing Dynasty, with capital in the ancient city of Beijing. This was an important role, Zhili already had a remarkable infrastructure and vital importance for the Russosphere and the plans of the Russian Empire.

The existing infrastructure had to be modernized, and then continue the conversion of the country into an important economic, diplomatic, political and administrative center.

How to do this?

It was a relatively "simple" process, Russia had already successfully dominated Manchuria and Korea, which meant that the successful domination of Shandong allowed Russian domination of the country's maritime economic routes.

While Russia also possessed enormous influence through land routes.

This meant that Russia's economic plans and military domination in the region allowed enormous influence in the country, indeed the first presidents of the Zhili Republic were military personnel selected by the army and Russia.

In exchange for this, the army obtained certain benefits and Russia could successfully carry out its plans for the administration of the country.

Not only did Beijing have to modernize, modernization had to be expanded to other parts of the northeastern country of Old China as well.

Russia had plans to expand railways, radios and manufacturing industries to the region, taking advantage of the old Qing infrastructure that still remained.

Effectively using models similar to those that Russia used in Shanxi and Shandong.

* Republic of Shandong:

As mentioned, Shandong was important to Russia and Russia's plans were important to Shandong. The country was a new 'eastern gateway to the world'.

Because the imperial navy of Russia and the economic assets of Russia used Shandong and the nearby governorate of Korea as huge economic-military platforms.

The armed forces of the Russian Empire could use this 'gate' for domination of nearby waters and deployment of forces in northeast China when necessary.

And Shandong, due to its geographical position, was an important entry and exit site for products of the Russian Empire and the trade routes created by Russia in Indochina, Indonesia, the Pacific, Africa, etc.

Which benefited the interests of Russia and local collaborating elites, since it was more money with international trade.

Similar to Zhili, Shandong's early 'presidents' actually functioned more as military and administrators than fully elected presidents of the people.

It is true that reforms were planned, but the reform needed social and economic stability, which would only be achieved through a precise administration with a heavy hand.

All the countries created by Russia in China received different treatments, but at the core, they were the same. The hand of steel, with a silk glove.

An autocratic political-military domination, with important economic treaties and social reforms promoting improvements in stability and quality of life.

Nobody was fool enough not to notice it, but it was a very good deal that benefited many in the short and medium term.

*

The economic-military diversity in the plan was massive, depending on each country that Russia formed in its northern Chinese sphere of influence.

The main objective was trade and infrastructure, but Russia also seized economic rights and other measures for the economic domination of the puppet countries.

In other respects there were common policies, such as the growth of Russian influence in the army and the education of the citizens of the puppet states.

This through processes that Russia had already tried successfully before. Such as the construction of educational institutes, propaganda and the training of Chinese officers within institutes of the armed forces of the Russian Empire.

Among other measures of course.

[International Politics: Brazil]

Even before the ratification of the Treaty of Visegrad, Russia already had forces in the Federation of Rio Grande do Sul. After the treaty, there were already a significant number of Russian ships and military forces in the country.

Why?

Very simple, to avoid the unification of Rio Grande do Sul and the Empire of Brazil, led by Emperor Dom Pedro III.

Nicholas II had nothing personal against the Empire of Brazil or Pedro III, but it was still unclear whether losing the Russosphere's only country in South America was an acceptable move.

It was difficult to know if Imperial Brazil would be a good ally in the future. Perfectly the country could fall back into a civil war or become an enemy of Russia.

With the Russian intervention in the region, the Empire of Brazil could not make moves to take the Federation of Rio Grande do Sul. And any diplomatic attempt at post-Visegrad unification would fail.

Partly because of the elites of Rio Grande do Sul, who benefited more under the federal system and Russian support than in a single unified country under the monarchy.

This was a major first blow to the reunified Empire of Brazil.

The unification was not, in theory, complete. And the country's economy was heavily ruined as a result of falling prices for rubber, coffee, and other Brazilian exports.

The internal situation of the country was also still very problematic.

The economic inequality between the upper class and the lower-middle class was enormous, there were many problems within the administration and the international situation was not favorable for Brazil either.

In this, a new Brazilian generation began to emerge.

Both from the extreme left and the extreme right.

A young Luís Carlos Prestes and other associates would grow closely with the socialist education of Red Europe, starting the Brazilian communist movement.

Movement that is partly traced to Brazil's first civil war and the post-unification period after the Treaty of Visegrad.

Russia is not guilty, but it was a factor that helped the first blows against the new unified Brazilian monarchy.

*******

[Domestic Policy: Post-war Russia]

Russia came out of the post-New Great War as a 'winning' country (like most countries that ratified the Treaty of Visegrad), they had obtained some new territories and allied-puppet countries for the Russosphere.

Which would help in the period of re-construction and integration planned by Tsar Nicholas II and the Third Duma.

It is true that Russia had not been as destroyed as other countries (East-Republican Germany or Brazil), but now it had to carry out a new process of integration and economic restructuring.

The war economy had to change, Russia had to integrate the new territories that she and the Russosphere got, and there were also the important plans for a future war.

All of this required changes in the economy and enormous planning, preparation and execution.

Russia was entering the post-war period, led by Tsar Nicholas II and Premier Mikhail Skobelev, the Third Duma and the various ministers of this period.

First, the Russian Empire proposed to use the same tools that it had used since the Great Depression. The state would intervene in the economy to generate work through public projects.

Public projects that would put veterans (who did not remain in the military) and citizens (who lost their post-war jobs) who could work in the labor market.

Helping the integration of territories within the Russian economy and the Russosphere. Creating infrastructure, new jobs and other devices for Russian control.

But there were other problems as well, including the continuation of the Great Depression in the post-war period as national economies re-adapted to non-war economies and secondly ... native populations.

Czechoslovakia and Russia's new western territories (East Prussia / Königsberg) had very notable German populations.

Aceh, Lanfang, Russian Colonial Empire and Novaya Gvineya had new multi-cultural populations that had to be integrated into countries of the Russosphere with years and years of successful integration.

Czechoslovakia was now part of the fortress of the Russosphere in Central-Eastern Europe, and Königsberg was useful to the Baltic fleet of the Russian Empire in future conflicts.

At the moment they were not doing much, but they could be problematic in the future ...

Russia for the moment started a process of renaming the regions it obtained from Germany and placed strict surveillance on the liberated regions, including Czechoslovakia.

There were various plans for the Czech part of Czechoslovakia, both economic, military and political. Many Czech socialists were in a predicament, whether to stay in the country or flee to Red Europe.

In Russian Indonesia and Slavic Africa, plans had to be made for the expansion of infrastructure and integration of the new groups into a more common entity loyal to the objectives of the Russosphere.

Then of course there were other plans in the rest of the Russosphere (those who did not get much in terms of territory), the trans-Balkan railway was finished so it was time for more money and re-investment in the Balkans, there was little left to finish the Thai Canal and now we had to help Indonesia Russian with its new territories.

All with time and money of course.

Russia and its sphere of influence were under a new administration, the administration of Tsar Nicholas II.

The Tsar together with the Third Duma set out to restart the Russian economic giant and continue with various improvements to the Russosphere.

It was a massive program in various parts of Eurasia, complicated but possible with time.

But not free of regional problems within the Russosphere and Russia itself.

Premier Mikhail Skobelev was beginning to have problems with his health amid Tsar Nicholas II's idea of New Russia (a new generation), which complicated the stability of the far right and center-right of the Third Duma.

And factions within Russian politics and armed forces opposed Tsar Nicholas II's idea of New Russia, and the growing power of the Russian left (RSDLP, Trudoviks and others) in government.

A time complicated by various internal and external factors.

Fortunately, Russia had already built a strong base in the Middle East and most of Central-Eastern Europe, allowing the central government to have help and resources to keep the most unstable parts of the Russian Empire and the Russosphere under control.

When the time came, most things built in the Alexandrian period could be salvaged.

[International]

January 1, torrential rains extend for 10 days in Libya (Kingdom of Italy). This is actually something of a blessing, pure coincidence of course.

The rain delayed the columns of the Italian administration against Libyan rebels, who were able to mobilize successfully to escape the European troops.

The problems in Libya continue.

Blood transfusions start to become a bit more common after military medical advances during the New Great War.

January 4, the Treaty of Visegrad is signed. Ending World War II (New Great War, great Latin American wars, etc).

January 9, thousands of troops begin to return to their homes with the ratification of the Visegrad treaty after the last months of armistice and peace discussions.

Some troops however are left, especially for the newly occupied territories in places like the African continent.

January 11, the Free Republic of Mexico led by Pancho Villa and the United States, under the Clark administration, resolve to re-initiate diplomatic relations after the Treaty of Visegrad.

With the end of the Second Great War, the United States desperately needed the interoceanic canal for economic purposes.

Despite this, relations are still very tense. The United States, which sees Latin America as its backyard, does not trust a socialist government that occupies most of Mexico.

Civil protests in socialist Luxembourg against the country's recently 'independent' government.

The police successfully crush the anti-government protests.

January 14, trouble begins between the border of Socialist Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Some Irish from the UK escape to free Ireland, while Protestants and other defectors from socialist Ireland escape to Northern Ireland.

January 17, lawyer Manuel Estrada Cabrera becomes president of Nicaragua. President Manuel Estrada Cabrera rules in essence as a dictator who offers concessions to Americans and their businesses.

Thanks to this, he can carry out certain modernizations in the country (industries and transport) in the post-war period.

January 19, many Arab-Muslims escape from Italian-dominated Libya to the Federative Socialist Republic of Italy. This is obviously with plans to return to Libya in the future, after enlisting the support of the Italian socialists against European colonialism.

January 28, there are discussions to grant the right to vote to women in Canada (the Imperial Federation). The arguments do not go much for the conservative policy of the centralized British empire.

February 1, in Australia (Imperial Federation) begins the publication of the 'School Magazine' in New South Wales. This magazine is the oldest publication focused on children's education in the world.

February 3, a solar eclipse occurs, visible from northern South America.

February 4, the isolation of the Revolutionary Bengal is fortified by the destruction of various infrastructure by the British air force.

On the other hand, the Punjabi revolutionary movement can survive more successfully, thanks to the ties of the 'mineral water' trade with Persia and Afghanistan (which bring resources from Russia).

Due to this, various pro-Bengali groups or Indian revolutionaries initiate attempts to create another line of support for the Bengali revolutionaries, which comes from Thailand. But for this you would have to pass British maritime control or British Burma.

February 8, the Uruguayan musician Gerardo Hernán Matos Rodríguez approaches the Argentine composer Roberto Firpo with the score of a new tango in a musical café in Montevideo.

As a result of this, Firpo makes some arrangements and in November the first version of La Cumparsita is recorded, now one of the most recognized tango melodies in the world.

February 10, in the United States and Canada there are several attacks against businesses run by foreign citizens.

Partly because of rumors that foreign businesses hire other 'illegal' foreigners and not war veterans.

February 11, Emma Goldman is arrested for 'obscenity' under Comstock laws. This is because Goldman was speaking at a conference on birth control (birth control obviously not as advanced as in modern times, but it did exist to some extent).

February 14, the Empire of Japan begins a conference in Japanese Vietnam to try to keep the territory under control.

Bringing to the table several local leaders and groups willing to cooperate with the Imperial Japanese Navy (which de-facto dominates the Japanese government).

Of course, peace within Japanese Vietnam is ... complicated.

After decades of German rule, foreign control over Vietnam is most likely difficult to maintain.

February 22, fights between the different Vietnamese monarchist groups start due to different claims of 'legitimate' monarchs.

March 5, problems occur in several coastal cities of the Brazilian Empire, the result of several labor strikes and protests resulting from the bad conditions in the empire.

Result of years of civil war and great depression.

March 9, fighting begins within the Kuomintang forces of the Republic of China, between the right wing and the left wing of the party.

March 10, after important discussions, there are advances in the Palestinian-Jordan treaty for unification with the Emirate of Ha'il.

March 17, the sides of the new civil war in the Republic of China are definitively created.

On the one hand, in the city of Shanghai and the capital city Nanking is the right wing of the Kuomintang, led by Hu Hanmin with the support of Chiang Kai-shek.

On the other hand, in the south of the country (Canton) and the city of Wuhan (capital of this rival government), is the left wing of the party. Directed by Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai.

The right wing has lost a lot of support from old revolutionaries, who have gone to ally themselves with Liao Zhongkai and Qang Jingwei in the southern government.

However, the ROC military command is seriously damaged, and the fight is 'even'. What is clear is that war in general results in the suffering of the common citizen of the Republic of China.

March 21, official celebration of the inauguration of President James Connolly of Socialist Ireland.

March 22, J. R. R. Tolkien returns from military service and soon marries Edith Bratt (Edith Mary Tolkien).

In the future she Edith will be the inspiration for Lúthien Tinúviel (from The Silmarillion) and Arwen Undómiel.

March 25, Ishi, the last member of the Yana tribe, dies of tuberculosis.
