[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/i7CaVNd.png[/IMG]

France begins the early 1920s with a prosperous economy. And is making a ton of money after the first world war.
Much of which is spent of rebuilding land, infrastructure and agriculture that was destroyed in the previous years. This puts
the parts of the country that were badly damaged back in to shape. But they won't fully recover for about another 3-5 years.
France also proposes the League Of Nations put it's fist down and become stronger than it already is. Something that many European nations want,
however they need a ways of introducing it.
Aid is sent to Greece to support them in the Greco-Turkish war in whatever means they deem supportive from France. With a few thousand soldiers
sent to Turkey and assist the Greek troops.
Frances military begins to research advanced tank designs, plane designs and semi-automatic rifles. Things that are now necessary for France to
keep their dominance in Europe. If that's what they want.
France eases up feelings with Germany and attempts to be a lot more relaxed when it comes to the treatment of Germany in general. Germans see this as
something to be happy about. But their destroyed economies are something else to reckon with.
France wins 9 gold, 19 silver, and 13 bronze medals at the summer Olympics in Antwerp.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/nAiHrNh.png[/IMG]

Sweden withdraws from the League Of Nations. They call out the League, saying that Sweden wants good relations with the world. But believe the organization
is completely useless. Already, a weak pact has grown weaker. On the other hand; Sweden asks Norway, Denmark and Finland to join an alliance. Called, "The United
Scandinavian League". It'd benefit all countries within it to things such as free trade and mutual defense. Also a 'unified diplomatic voice'. All of which are however,
optional. Besides mutual defense.
Norway and Denmark accept the alliance offer. Finland on the other hand, refuses. As they have just come out of a war. And prefer to remain neutral for now.
Sweden denounces the Ottoman invasion of Greece. But don't take any economic or military action.
The military is now herald as a civilian service. They now help with a variety of projects across Sweden. They begin to build several hospitals whereas the medics work
as doctors. This relieves many Swedes from the economic burden of medical taxes. But, taxes are raised slightly in order to fund Sweden's new Universal Healthcare Act. Do to
be in place in 1 or 2 years.
The Swedish military now has 3 complete different branches for the army, navy and air force. As well as tank and infantry being two separate units. Drills now begin all across
northern Sweden. Hopefully training the military in mountain and winter warfare.

China promises land reform to peasents everywhere and that democratic councils in rural China are to be established. This offers the people of China with a greater voice in
governement.
Land taxes are phased out in favor of income taxes. And opium imports are cracked down on to curtail distribution of the drug. Clinics are also set up to get people off of
opium.
The army is beginning to be reformed. With a massive focus on discipline. And alliance is also worked out with the Marshall of Manchuria. Which begins to build up a strong army
that is professional compared to those of other Asian countries. This army is going to begin the Northern Expedition.
The army moves to take industrial cities surrounding Beijing and then, Beijing itself. Though Beijing has yet to be fully captured, a battle at the moment is ensuing. With harsh attrition
for the enemy armies whose supply lines have been cut. Many parts of the city however, have surrendered. After hash artillery bombardment. But the fighting has yet to be over.
A national bank is sent up and peasants are encouraged to set up a savings account. These funds are used to fund national railway, telephone and telecommunication projects.
Foreign investment too is encouraged and ports are being opened up to trade.
Research on gas operated rifles and the theory of Quantum Mechanics has begun.

to improve relations with between them and Germany, and accept.
The German government rebuild and repairs airstrips and naval yards to prevent them from falling in to decay and a state of disgrace. This creates many nationalized jobs and improves
the economy somewhat.
Germany focuses on improving their public school systems. Men are sent all throughout the country to evaluate the skills of the teachers and the structural stability of the schools.
If renovations are necessary, they are made. Few however, are made. As the Great War never made a huge advance within Germany.
German innovators and engineers are begining to design a new automobile that can out best the American Model T. Whilst still being affordable for the average German. Two models are designed:
Das Modell S & U. One has 30 HP, the other having 60 HP and 6 seats. Many foreign investors, preferably American, Dutch and French invest in German factories. Popping up factories in many parts
of the former industrial empire. Nevertheless, many Germans are employed now, though poverty is still a major problem. The Model T has two competitors. And the Wiemar government is making money.
An alliance is made with Greece and the UK. With the Germans allowing the Dutch to base their U boat designs off theirs.

It's 50 billion in 1920s money, so around 600 trillion dollars factored for inflation.

Sorry, thats the way it is.

[LoganIsAwesome]

But c'mon man let Germany get their economy back on track atleast

[Daniel Smith]

For the white Russian movement to succeed they need help from European powers

[Masterofstars]

[Funktastic Dog]

The whole point of the reparations is so they dont get rapidly back on their feet. So stop donating guys.

Because germans are fucking industrious.

The amount of money forced upon Germany, and how Germany had to take full blame for a war they didn't even start, is beyond fucked up. They hold as much blame for mobilizing their armies and responding just as France, Russia and the UK dot too.

I can see where you're coming from, however. If the US never got involved in the war, it would've played out much differently. And most likely in favor as the Germans. Since their spring offensive was a tactical victory. But by then the US military was arriving in the millions.

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;44431454]Wilhelm II was just over ambitious and ill advised, he could've been a great leader[/QUOTE]

Wilhelm's constant focus on the German navy was where he messed up. He payed little attention to the people and lives of the German people. Now I am not saying the people of Germanys lives were shit, far from it. Germany was one of the best countries to live in continental Europe.

Agreed. Let us not forget the firebombing of industrial German cities. To which Germany never fully really recovered
