The empire was still recovering from the Great War and the Depression surprised many government officials. Soon enough, the government took emergency measures to balance the budget and restore confidence in the pound by issuing an emergency budget, which immediately instituted a round of cuts in public spending and wages. Public sector wages and unemployment pay were cut by 10%, and income tax was raised in the pound. However, these measures were unsuccessful as unemployment rose and the gold standard dropped. After years of measures to combat against the depression, a slow recovery begun in 1934 because of the withdrawal from the gold standard and the devaluation of the pound. As a result, British exports became more competitive on world markets. The revolution in India was proving to be difficult to keep fighting, so they decided to let India become independent. Even know losing India was hard for the British, they still got their massive colonies in Africa and Asia. And with Canada becoming the new Jewel of the Empire, things were looking up from them. Now, the United States has fallen and Germany is in a state of revolution. The Allies have to end the simulation in Germany before either one wins.
