    "Liberté, égalité, fraternité"


    France answers Belgians Call for Assistance, and Calls on the Entente to join it in it's defense of Belgium and Denmark from the Aggressor Germany.

    France having seen no justification for war against Denmark, and seeing it as an attack on both Denmark and Belgium due to their full Alliance, answers Belgium's call for defense of them and their ally. Knowing the scale of this conflict France, has called upon the Entente to come together and rally towards victory!

    England uphold its Guarantee of Belgium being attacked and that the conflict should not be escalated. As Germany has escalated the conflict by invading Denmark and escalating the war England joins France Belgium Denmark and it's Commonwealth to stop the Barbaric Germans.

    England Declares War on Germany and so does it's Commonwealth.

    England Declares Full Mobilization of it and it's Commonwealth

    "Съ нами Богъ!"


    The Russian Empire annuls Non-Aggression Pact with the German Empire.

    His Imperial Majesty Czar Nicholas declares that a righteous people like the Russians cannot be friendly with the warmongerers and barbarians in Berlin.
    Invading Denmark was a crime and the German government must be brought to justice.
    After failing to justify it's invasion and continued hostile actions against the Kingdom of Denmark the Russian Empire demands that the German Empire ceases all military action against its neighbours.
    Furthermore the powers of the Treaty of Sevastopol will hold a meeting about possible actions in this conflict.
    There will be no hostile action by the Russian Empire until the meeting has been concluded.

    The Republic of Portugal declares war on Germany. Entering into the Third Schleswig War
    In honour of the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373, The Republic of Portugal sees no alternative other to enter the war against Germany.
    We must not allow Germany to bully its way into Europe.

    Portugal declares full mobilisation of all military assets including its Navy.
    We will take every step possible in order to ensure the safety of our allies and our people.

    "Disgusting!"

    The German Empire releases formerly *secret* correspondence between the French Ambassador and the German Ministery of Foreign Affairs.

    France informed Germany that it was going to march into the Netherlands, Germany strongly opposed that according to its word by threatening to march into Denmark in order to disarm Denmark as well, a thing that was expected to be strongly opposed by France. However, France even agreed to that in order to gain a reason of war against the Netherlands! Therefore, it was expected to have both the Netherlands and Denmark disarmed in order to restore peace in Europe. Later, France leaked Belgian plans, offered Germany territory in the Dutch East (which were denied as the empire does not seek expansion but peace) and even sank low enough to give words which it broke later on.

    France is nothing but a traitor. France broke the Franco-German-NAT, France conspired against the Netherlands as well as against Belgium and Denmark, France is nothing but a traitorous nation built upon lies. Whoever follows France to War, follows a traitor and an enemy to the European order of peace. France's word is worth nothing.






    A large statement on the recent developments will follow as soon as Denmark has reacted to Swedish-German messages which had allready been sent before Belgium declared its unjust war and included a request for a peaceconference on Swedish soil.




    Seeing the hard-forged NAT between Russia and Germany being broken due to French conspiracy is saddening his majesty deeply.

    Great European War.

    What started out as a possible contained war between Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark has swiftly exploded into a growing European wide conflict. Following the German invasion of Denmark on the 16th July, Denmark's ally, Belgium, were swift to declare war upon Germany in support on the 4th June 1914. This declaration begun a chain reaction of alliances. On the 6th France declared war upon Germany, much to the horror of the German and French diplomats that had worked so hard to try and reach the non-aggression pact that had now been broken. The 8th saw the British declaration and the 12th the Portuguese declaration. In a bid to try and end things swiftly peace negotiations between Denmark and Germany were held in Sweden. They did not last long and after three days the German delegation left Sweden empty handed and fuming.

    Though Russia has kept out of the war but has instead formed the The Treaty of Sevastopol. This treaty stands as a great threat to Austro-Hungarian, who was also yet to enter the war, goals in the Balkans. Calls for peace discussion by the Ottomans Empire stalled due to the sudden explosion of the Third Schleswig War seeing one of the best possible routes for a prevention of escalation ended. The mood in Vienna and St. Petersburg were both respectively dim with pro and anti war groups arguing day and night over where the governments of each nation should go. Rome also was feeling great strain in its parliament, only with ministers arguing over if they should remain with the Central Powers or join the Entente much to the dismay of Germany. Across Europe this same argument was being had with Sofia, Ankara and Bucharest feeling this push and pull very strongly within parliament and its people.

    The Netherlands saw the victory of the “Sociaal Democratische Arbeiders Parti” in the elections that had been declared two months prior. This victory has seen the ousting of the passive Liberal government under Pieter Cort van der Linden who had unwisely given the vote to the Women of his nation in a hope to win the election. This sudden introduction of suffrage had resulted in much chaos in many of the more conservative area of the Netherlands with many women being blocked from voting. The new government under Pieter Jelles Troelstra won by a good margin with promises of crushing the invading Belgians, better worker’s rights, revenge for the French blockade and once victory was achieved the forcing of Belgium to pay for the war!





    Lambs for the slaughter

    The slaughter experienced during the month of June during this war has sent shock waves through both warring nations. The weapons of war, that due to the small offensives and swift fights had yet to be understood, now displayed their full colours. On the morning of the 4th June the Dutch Zuidelijk Veldleger launched a massive offensive into Zeeland in a bid to recapture it. Dutch troops from the 1ste and 2de Korps smashed headlong into the dug in troops of the Belgian 1ère and 2ème Division d'Infanterie. The initial bombardment onto the Belgian positions had little effect on the men who were dug in lick ticks. Not knowing the failure of the bombardment the Dutch forces began their offensive into Rilland. To their horror the small pass had been turned into a killing ground like none seen before. Belgian machine guns raked the advancing Dutch troops wave upon wave as Belgian artillery who were zeroed into the ground rained shrapnel upon the helpless Dutch. Four times the Dutch came on and each time they were cut down. The assault was an utter failure. In Noord-Brabant a smaller dutch offensive also met with little success. Troops from the 14de and 15de Infanterie Divisie were unable to make any headway into the Belgian lines, defended by the 4ème Division d'Infanterie.

    The Belgians were swift to answer to the Dutch offensive with their own offensive across the whole front. From Zeeland to Limburg the Belgians begun to pound Dutch positions with artillery. Behind it came the Belgians. The scale of the operation though was to be their down falling. Due to the Dutch offensive many Belgian positions had lost what little ease of communications they had and were forced to use riders. This resulted in poor coordination between artillery and infantry as well as between Divisions. Artillery bombardments ended short or fired over Dutch positions. In Limburg the 6ème Division d'Infanterie was hit by their own barrage as it fell short on the advancing men. The offensive failed to gain any ground and was an utter slaughter. In the space of 3 weeks the Belgians lost 27 thousand men to the Dutch 32 thousand men with neither side gaining anything.

    The war at sea however saw the Dutch navy smash the Belgian Navy at the Battle of the Western Scheldt Estuary. Lead by the the HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën the numerically superior Dutch navy smashed into the Belgian Navy as it lay in waiting. The battle raged for 3 hours as the Belgian navy attempted to escape the onslaught of the Dutch. Within 50 minutes of engaging the Dutch has already sun the Light Cruiser Louise-Marie and the destroyer Godetia. As the dutch navy limped off towards the coast of England the destroyers Narcis, Castor and Van Haverbeke were also lost before they could reach the safety of their allies across the channel. The Dutch navy only major loss was the sinking of the destroyer HNLMS Panter. The whole time the French blockade on the Netherlands had been forced to watch on in horror as orders prevented them from firing upon the Dutch fleet.



    Blood and Honour

    The Third Schleswig War saw an escalation of epic proportions during the last month. This escalation was duly followed by killing on a scale never before seen in war. Following failed peace negotiations the German forces in Denmark where swift to continue their advance. This was met with no resistance at all to the great surprise of the 1.and 2. Jägerdivision who were leading the advance into Jutland. As the process of Island hopping went underway the German 1. Marinedivision found that both Funen and Southern Zealand were also utterly unguarded. The German forces were able to reach their objective in Southern Zealand completely unmolested. Even the massive Kaiserliche Marine roving the seas found nothing to do. It was as if the Danish had utterly given up. The only area of conflict was the skirmishing occurring between elements of the XIX. Armeekorps and the surrounded 4. and 6. Infanteri Divisons. After almost 2 and a half month of being surrounded the Danish forces were close to starving to death. Still though they refused to surrender to German forces surrounding them.

    It was in province of Liège though that the new weapons of war truly showed their abilities. The French 3éme Groupe d'Armée under the command of Général d'Armée Augustin Dubail marched into Belgium into Liège and launched the first French offensive into the Rheinland-Pfalz. The French Ve, VIe and VIIIe Armées smashed into the German XVII., XVIII., and IV. Armeekorps under the command of General der Kavallerie August von Mackensen. In their bright blue and red uniforms the French forces stood out light sore thumbs. As French regiments marched in close order across open fields with their colours waving the German artillery and machine guns showed Europe what these new weapons were fully capable off. The French forces were cut down in their thousands. The 21st June 1914 saw the loss of 23,000 French men alone. The Germans were not without heavy losses either. Despite repelling the French assault their counter attack into Liège was also met with difficulty and heavy losses. Like their the French the German forces were trying to fit hundreds of thousands of men in between the Netherland the Luxembourg creating logistical issues. Distie this though the German forces were able to push into Liège before the French were able to halt their advance.

    In Lorraine and Franche-Comté German forces were also able to make some headway into France. Despite a heroic defense by the Ier Groupe d'Armée where they were heavily dug in and fortified. Throughout the 19th and 20th German artillery pounded the French positions and assaults were launched to little avail. On the morning of morning of the 21st however the German XIII. And XXIV. Armeekorps finally managed to make a breakthrough the positions of the IIIe Armée. This breakthrough was soon being used to its full potential and men were poured into the gap. Though the French were swiftly able to stop the flow and halt the advanced it was still a massive moral victory for German forces. Both offensives however had been bloody affairs. French forces suffered some 58 thousands losses against the German’s 43 thousand. Such a massacre could not surly be sustained by both sides!

    At sea the Royal Navy had met with disaster at the hands of the Kaiserliche Marine. A massive fleet had set out from England with the intentions of heading for the Skagerrak straits. As they drew closer they were set upon by waiting U-boats. The british Cruiser HMS Drake was sunk by a direct torpedo to her rudder which left her stranded and taking on water. The HMS Goldfinch was also lost. The fleet were forced to retire from the hunting grounds swiftly before any more losses could be sustained.

    The Kingdom of Denmark is removed from the Scandinavian Pact

    After realising Danish stances and policies during and after the failed German-Danish peace negotiations, The Kingdom of Sweden has consulted with the Kingdom of Norway. The two countries have come to the conclusion that Denmark's actions and policies are no longer supportable. The outrageous refusal of a very generous (so have we deemed it) proposal, which had Denmark lose virtually nothing given the circumstances, have cast doubt on Denmark's ability to assess the current situation. Furthermore, it is our firm belief that The Kingdom of Denmark is being or was influenced by one or multiple foreign powers that would have suffered under this peace treaty. It is not in Sweden's and Norway's interest to have a satellite state within the Pact. Besides this, Denmark's reckless diplomacy with no regards to Swedish and Norwegian soldiers, that would have been called upon by clause 3 of the Scandinavian Pact, is unacceptable.
    All of this combined with Denmark's earlier diplomatic failures leave us no choice but to expel The Kingdom of Denmark from the Scandinavian Pact.
