[OOC] World in Revolution: 1900

[Ampharos]

Oh snap! I didn't actually see the IC posts. Thanks!

What will China be doing, Ampharos??

@Kho, how exactly would I go about doing that, though?

Oh, just establish your military presence there, show them who's boss and put down revolt after revolt. OR you can take the nice option and bribe top officials so that you've got a nice puppet there ready to do as you command - and the Cubans just go about living their lives...until they rebel and kill your officials. Or you can start propaganda campaigns to make them feel part of the 'great American melting pot' which might work, but given the fact you've just conquered them...who knows.

But the question you should be asking is: Is Cuba worth the trouble? Establishing your dominance will take orders and money that can be spent elsewhere, why not just give its independence, so long as their foreign policies are adjusted to yours, and just let it rule itself without any trouble for you...bit like how Britain did with Afghanistan...

Most likely trying not to get horribly raped over the next fifty years.

I wouldn't mind a military junta coming to power when the Qing Empire is inevitably overthrown. It'd probably be the easiest way for Qing to modernize and survive war with Japan, assuming that the Japanese player is more or less interested in expanding into China.

I might PM Mag or somebody and seek some advice. I'm familiar enough with Chinese history that I feel comfortable playing Qing, but I'm certainly not knowledgeable enough to say that I wouldn't like some opinions on the matter.

Yes, that last option sounds like the best. Probably make sure they give me fleet basing and stuff. Gotta keep Gitmo of course.

Nicaragua Canal is best canal...EDIT: Doesn't Cuba belong to the United States right now?

>tfw no us backed panamian independence

Well, color me surprised. Someone else can take up the project now. French, Germans?

[AegonVI]

France has the rights to it, but huge massive civil war makes it unattractive, plus there is a reason they had the US but the rights. Best advice: Sell the rights back to Panama for money.

@Pasta, you won't like it, I'm afraid.

Careful. Britain and US may decided not to help you out in war if you decided to build the Panama Canal... We not of liking competition.

How exactly is the Boxer Rebellion going to be simulated in this game, as well as foreign spheres of influence within China?

I walked past their secret "no euros allowed" club tree house and I heard that they where planning on bombing Austria.
