Player Events

 * Boer Free State: Massive popular underground movements begin ooeration, their purpose is too overthrow the imperialist government, and too make a free nation, a secular non-imperialist one. They begin assassinating leaders, they also blow up the government buildings.
 * What does that even mean?
 * I don't think you even have an imperialist government ~Edgemod
 * No no they view the government as imperialist but it isn't.
 * Japan: Mil and eco. Tokyo is capital. The army consists of 150.000 men currently, and laws are passed to increase that number.
 * The United States of America: The United States begins a massive naval exapsnion program, seeking to convert the current Green-Water Navy into a "Great White Fleet". Theodore Roosevelt remains incumbent in office, and continues his process of  "Gun Barrel Diplomacy" in the Americas. Nations such as Brazil and Colombia are watched closely, fearing that they could rise to oppose the United States. The Navy orders 2 new Dreadnaughts for the Pacific fleet and 3 for the Atlantic, bringing the total number of Dreadnaughts up to 6 in the Pacfic and 9 in the Atlantic. 3 Destroyers are also ordered. The land based military stands at a modest 200,000 men, not including 50,000 marines. Low level violence against Native Americans continues, though many have been wiped out. Industry continues to be developed in the East, mostly New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The spread of industry is limited in the south and west, though the California area looks to become a promising center of industry. Farming conintues in the South and the West. Northern California and the Great Plains grow the majority of the nations food. Naval bases and Ship Yards are developed in Cuba and California. Railroad expansion continues as well. the state of Texas rebuilds following the hurricane.(MILITARY TURN)
 * Phillipines: The territrory under control of the US, is placed under military occupation. An additonal force of 10,000 Mairnes are sent in to stablize the territory. Combined with an active military force of 40,000, the US seeks to reclaim Manilia. (Eco turn)
 * Puerto Rico: The Territory is firmly under US grasp. Much like the Phillipines, Literacy and health improve in the territroy.The US continues to US the island as a strategic location, serving as a useful base in the Atlantic. Industry is improved as well. A small military force of 10,000 remains active on the island(Industry Turn)
 * American Pacfic: The sparsely populated territory continues to grow under the US. The Area serves as a strategic location for the US military and economic presence in the Pacific. The are serves as a refueling station for the American Navy. A military presence of 5,000 men remains in the area (Infrastrucutre Turn)
 * Republic of Hawaii (Protectorate of the US): The small nation remains under military occupation by the US. Pro-US Sentiment is currently high. Ship yards and naval bases are construcuted. (MILITARY TURN)
 * China: After years of being under the control of other nations, with The Middle Kingdom falling piece by the day, The Yellow Phoenix movement launches a coup against the emperor. The coup works, and China is now on the path to greatness. High Marshal Gang is named the leader of China, and he requests an alliance with Japan, to form the Pan-Asia Alliance, as a means of liberating Asia from the European invaders. We state our support for the Filipino Rebels. We begin recruiting men for the military, and build railways to link China together. We begin planning the conquest of Tibet.


 * ​ You should probably deal with the forgein occupations first
 * Italy: The country is shocked and in morning after the assasination of King Umberto I, and King Emmanuel III ascends to the throne. Some of the king's first edicts are implemented to help bridge the income disparity between Northern and Southern Italy, mainly by creating centers of industry in Sicily, improving infrastructure and education, and adding a new progressive tax bracket. The navy is built up considerably and the new king tries to rally Italian nationalists to help boost the military, which proves moderately succesful.
 * Libya: Further policies are implemented to attract Italian migrants, and many Italian language schools begin opening up in major cities, such as Tunis, Tobruk, and Tripoli. Plans begin to be made to reconstruct much of Leptis Magna and artificially recreate the city, but due to the costs and complexities of the project it still just remains in planning. Many orchards are created to try to stimulate economic growth and the search for oil begins.
 * Somalia: Policies are implemented to try to bring more Ethiopian Christians into the West of the country, while also bringing in Italians on the East Coast. Several military ports are built and a large railway project begins to undergo construction. A Italian-speaking university is built.
 * Dijibouti: Italian immigration is encouraged, and it proves more succesful than in Somalia. The region becomes a gambling hub for rich Europeans and Middle-Easterners, thus attracting a fruitful amount of buisness and income. A Italian-speaking unviersity is built.
 * Ethiopia: Ethiopians enjoy a level of autonomy, including ther own gendarmaries. Farming is incouraged so that it can then be exported to other parts of the Empire; these crops are mainly food crops. Many rich Ethiopians begin buying land in West Somalia. Several Amharic and Italian speaking universities are built.
 * Gujarat: The government continues a policy favoring Muslims over Hindus, in order to divide and appease. Cash crops are grown intensivley, mainly cotton. Several military ports are built and the region is reinforced with more Italian gendarmarie, as well as other colonial battalions from Africa, which are mainyl made up of Muslims.
 * Italian Diplomacy: We seek closer relations with Spain and Germany.
 * Sikh Empire: Maharaja Balarama Singh continues to be the Maharaja (High King) of the Sikh Empire, aided by Wazir Kanishka Chaudhuri. The nations' geographical region next to the Himalaya mountains means that mining is a large industry in the Northern regions. We try to estsblish trade with Afghanistan. Maharaja Balarama Singh in a speech says that the Wazir will no longer be appointed by the Maharaja but will be democratically elected, and a Parliament is established, it is called the Sasada, after the Punjabi word for 'Parliament', this means an vert important step for Democracy in the Sikh Empire. Farms are build near rivers which boosts the economy, and more Sikh, Jain, and Hindu temples are built in major cities like Lahore.
 * Your military is crap, you can't control Afghanistan nor Afghani Sikhs, and keep in mind that Afghanistan's sovreignty was generally in Britain's interest at this time.
 * Well then you should cross out "After massive tensions with Afghanistan" because it does not make sense with the meanibg "After massive tensions with Afghsnistan,. Maharaja" because it is not a meaning. Also in response to 'you can't control Afghanistan' then why was this not crossed out in Almost 2: "Britannia: we improve the military and economy. Military training exercises are requested with Germany, Japan and Scandinavia. To commemorate the succession of Pope Pius X to the Papal throne a wish for a royal mass is sent to all Catholic nations. As a present to the king he is bought 10 airplanes. The people of Britannia mourn with Serbia. A French man Loui Nasre has been captured after stealing various items from the homes of nobles and is to be put to death does France vouch for him?". See that last part?.
 * Russian Empire: We contiuee to build up our military, with currently numbers 1,200,000 men, with about 200,000 of them on active duty. by next year, we expect to add at least 80,000 men, as well as tank support. in order to upgrade our navy, we begin construction on several battleships and destroyers, due to be completed in 1902. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry.  Wanting to improve relations with other nations, We offer an alliance with the United States of America, and a Non-agresionon pact with Japan 
 * Colombia: Colombian Government looks for a change of neutrality. Meanwhile, the buildings is set to be built up in Bogota. Army is well restricted and troops in work. The industry and economy will prove. The talks in building a museum will decide the Government for option.
 * France builds its economy and military.
 * German Empire: We scream with excitement as the first Zeppelin cruises over the country with great honor. We invest in this and begin future productions as well as creating more of these. We request an alliance with Spain, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Sweden. We hope to improve trade relations with the USA and France. (Mil. Turn) We build up military and now have an entire army of 3,000,000 due to rapid expansion. Wilhelm II improves education and industry laws. The infrastructure as a whole is great and we are leading in technological advances. We look into lethal gases to create for our military and develop new armoured cars.
 * Southwest Africa: Mining is the main focus of the colony and we become very rich due to this.
 * South Central Africa: Now serving as an African military state, German South Central Africa carries out operations and military training as well as a resource mining area.
 * Tanzania: Economy Improves. The governing power rules with well established methods to keep the colony successful and without disagreement.
 * Gabon: Jungles are becoming a problem for getting resources and transportation as well as disease of animals in the jungles spreading to the people. German immigration here halts a great lot.
 * Asia and Oceania territories: Eco. improves.
 * The population of Germany in 1900 was 56,000,000. There's no way in hell that 5% of your population is in the military.
 * ​Italian Diplomacy: We accept the alliance offer.
 * Austria-Hungarian Diplomacy: We decline due to tensions with Italy.
 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try and start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate.

 * Russian Empire: so far our efforts to build up our military have been sucessfull, with about 120,000 men joining, 40,000 more than planed. We continue to work on our ships, ordering 6 more destroyers, in addaiton to what has already been planed. New Weapons are developed, notably the GTZ-25 bolt action rifle. Jobs in the railroad industry are continually expanding, with nearly 3,500 miles of railroad added, mostly in western Russia. Wanting to improve our international relations, we ask for an alliance with Italy, and a non-agressionn pact with japnn and Siam.
 * ​Italian Diplomacy: We would agree only to a defensive alliance.
 * Japanese Dip: Accepted
 * Siamese Diplomacy: Siam accepts the Russian offer of a non-aggression pact.
 * Japanese Dip: We offer Russia to join us in the invasion of China
 * The United States of America: The United States begins a massive naval exapsnion program, seeking to convert the current Green-Water Navy into a "Great White Fleet". Theodore Roosevelt remains incumbent in office, and continues his process of  "Gun Barrel Diplomacy" in the Americas. Nations such as Brazil and Colombia are watched closely, fearing that they could rise to oppose the United States. The Navy orders 2 new Dreadnaughts for the Pacific fleet and 3 for the Atlantic, bringing the total number of Dreadnaughts up to 6 in the Pacfic and 9 in the Atlantic. 3 Destroyers are also ordered. The land based military stands at a modest 200,000 men, not including 50,000 marines. Low level violence against Native Americans continues, though many have been wiped out. Industry continues to be developed in the East, mostly New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The spread of industry is limited in the south and west, though the California area looks to become a promising center of industry. Farming conintues in the South and the West. Northern California and the Great Plains grow the majority of the nations food. Naval bases and Ship Yards are developed in Cuba and California.

 * Italy: Diffusion of wealth continues, which results in popular support for the king, mainly among the Southerners and the poor. Centers of industry are upgraded and corporate taxes are lowered, but the minimum wage is raised, this results in stable rates of labor and higher standard of living. Salaries for members of the navy and army are increased marginally to increase enrollment. The military focuses mainly on building up the navy, and ship construction is set at an annual of 2 dreadnaughts, 3 destroyers, and 3 cruisers. Construction also begins of a large defensive line in the north of the country, right where the penninsula begins, the belief being that as long as that line is held a land invasion of Italy proper would be impossible. We begin looking into the midly-succeful zeppelin flying ships.
 * Libya: Italianization of the Libyan peopel continues. The government institutes a new policy in the south, granting more autonomy to the Berber people, further simplifying administration and appeasing the minority. Several factories open as King Emmanuel plans to incorporate Libya into a contributing de jure part of Italy.

The Italian government gifts the protectorate with a trans-Abyssinian Railroad, which is planned to connect all of the Italian Horn of Africa, and construction begins Addis Adaba to the spider-web out. Incentives continue to be given for Christians to move to Somalia.
 * Gujarat: Cash crops continue to be grown for a very large profit, especially now that it's aided with more cheap labor from Somalia.  Several military installments are built inland and on the coast.
 * Italian Diplomacy: We ask that our German allies share their reasearch regarding Zeppelins.
 * German Dip: We agree to share research. We also ask the Netherlands for their Central American colony in return for 8 million pounds.  ' 
 * ​Netherlands (MOD): We decline
 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try and start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate. Tensions spark with Germany over the ownership of several lands bordering Austria-Hungary, igniting a neglectable border conflict.
 * It's fine. Border disputes can be started by either side.
 * Thanks dax, i will remember that


 *  British Empire:'  We improve our railroad industry and military technology. With our military population at 10,000,000 we start massing 500,000 troops on the Eygptian-Afghanastan Border. '   We also set-up the state of Pacific for Australia, New Zealand and its near neighbours. We offer an alliance with the United States. We increase our presence in the Middle-East. We also try a new incentive of moving Europeans to Australia. We also deploy 1,000,000 troops to Australia and New Zealand to enforce the law. 50,000 of those troops are going to be taught Aborgini and Maori to help improve relations with the local tribes. We offer a free-trade deal with Germany as well.
 * ​One does not simply have a peacetime standing army of ten-million.
 * One does not simply amass half-a-million troops a mispelled non-existant border.
 * Aborigini is not a language. Also, the vast, vast majority of aboriginales are dead.
 * Chinese Dip: China would like the return of the Yangtze valley.
 * Sikh Empire diplomacy: We offer China our new Congreve Rockets, Volley guns, and massive trade in secret.
 * China accepts the offer.

Wait,    where did you get that much weaponry?

I developed and buyed them from other ones

Not only do only have almost no manufacturing ability, but I think China has far more of this primitive guns than you at this point. '
 * S ikh Empire: Trade continues with Afghanistan. We try to decrease European influence on Asia, as we want to remain independent. We also try to find a alternative to factories. Maharaja Balarama Singh dies, and his son, Pundarik Singh becomes the new Maharaja, he orders more temples to be built in Lahore and other cities . Military is improved  as most of people that are older than 16 sign up for the military, we also put research unto grenades, cannon and artillery, we also widely use cavalry . The Government also seeks closer relations and trade with other nation-states in the Indian sub-continent. More Jain, Hindu and Sikh temples are built, however, Islam is very rare in the country due to widespread Indian religions. In the south-west deserts are growing slowly, therefore the government makes 'lakes' under the deserts, and plants tree seeds over the underground lakes, therefore a green enviroment grows as many oasis' develop. Many Sikh scientists try to research how the 'Universe' and Earth developed. and many theories develop, one scientist, Akalsharan Mujamdar develops a theory that the beginning of the universe was when it was in a very high density rate and then expanded and that this happened 13 Billion years ago, giving birth to the universe, after that the universe cooled down and formed clouds, Akalsharan Mujamdar tries to make other scientists to support the theory and propose ideas to it, this theory is called the Big Bang Theory. We develop Heavy and Medium Congreve Rockets and Volley guns and test them. Economy is improven thanks to farms and Himalaya mining. 


 * A lot of this is just plain ridiculouse.
 * Colombia: The hopes of New York Stock Exchange crashes. Meanwhile, the military starts to build up on it's sensitive information on Colombian Government located in capital city Bogota. He thinks the navy is on sights too. For his exclusive interests to gain up a territory, the rockets will be likely to be delivered . ' 
 * Japan: We invade China with 200.000 men
 * Russian diplomacy:  in order to aid Japans's invasian of China, we attack china from the north, with 400,000 troops , and send 80 ships to attack from the south China sea, aiding our troops on land.

This means turning Asia into completely colonies pretty much, and the French are suppose to be a world police and war-ender. Not a greedy empire. Same with British.

Theodore Roosevelt remains incumbent in office, and continues his process of  "Gun Barrel Diplomacy" in the Americas. Nations such as Brazil and Colombia are watched closely, fearing that they could rise to oppose the United States.The Navy orders several more desroyers following the completion of the first order this past year. The development of the airplane continues, with the Write Brothers working to further their sucsesses, The land based military stands at a modest 210,000 men, not including 50,000 marines. Low level violence against Native Americans continues, though many have been wiped out. Industry continues to be developed in the East, mostly New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The spread of industry is limited in the south and west, though the California area looks to become a promising center of industry. Farming conintues in the South and the West. Northern California and the Great Plains grow the majority of the nations food. Naval bases and Ship Yards are developed in Cuba and California. Railroad expansion continues as well.Development aid pours into Colombia, Venezuela, and the Phillipenes. With the rise in Labour unions, Roosevelt begins a campaign of trust busting, in an attempt to gain popularity before next years election. Taft looks to be Roosevelt's replacement, with democrat Woodrow Wilson running as his opposition. The US offers to sell outdated military equipment to Venezula (MOD RESPONSE) (Eco TURN).
 * Phillipines: Following the end of the Fillipino war, the Us government begins to rebuild and develop the Phillipines, increasing literacy and health in the nation. Infrastrcuture is also developed, with more roads being built. (Mil Turn)
 * Puerto Rico: The Territory is firmly under US grasp. Much like the Phillipines, Literacy and health improve in the territroy.The US continues to US the island as a strategic location, serving as a useful base in the Atlantic. Industry is improved as well. A small military force of 10,000 remains active on the island.(Mil Turn)
 * American Pacfic: The sparsely populated territory continues to grow under the US. The Area serves as a strategic location for the US military and economic presence in the Pacific. The are serves as a refueling station for the American Navy. A military presence of 5,000 men remains in the area (EcoTurn)
 * Republic of Hawaii (Protectorate of the US): The small nation remains under military occupation by the US. Pro-US Sentiment is currently high. Ship yards and naval bases are construcuted. (Mil TURN)
 * Great post and all, but could you please cut a few of the reoccurring parts out?
 * The plan was to update it every 4 years with the new elections.
 * Russian Empire: We continue our push into China, adding 150,000 men to the frount line. This measure is sucessful and we continue to gain ground in China including several majoe cities. We continue to build rail roads, and have added about 2,000 miles to our railroad. We offer a ten year NAP to Germany provided they do not intervene in our invasion of China
 * Germany agrees to NAP.
 * France builds up its military and economy and invades China again.
 * ​Italy: Several more powers are reinstated to the aristocrats, but it ends there; the king also creates a new branch of the secret service solely to investigating nobles. after success in the expiremental penal colony in Puntland, several more are created in Somalia. A handful of penal colonies are also created in Gujarat, these being for Somali prisoners. The military focuses mainly on building up the navy, and ship construction is increased to an annual of 2 dreadnaughts, 4 destroyers, and 5 cruisers. A new policy is also implemented to draft criminals in time of war. More testing goes into zeppelins as research into conventional use may be drawing to an end; to hide the tests from other Europeans we create the test sites in Ethiopia.
 * Italian Secret Diplomacy: We suggest an idea to Great Britain, being that Italy and Britain split French East Africa, with Eritrea going to Great Britain and Somaliland going to Italy. We also offer an alliance. We also begin to arm and spread infuence over coastal South African tribedoms.
 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built. A few new harbours continue construction.
 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try and start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate. Tensions start to lessen, but alas, continue with Germany over the ownership of several lands bordering Austria-Hungary, resulting in a neglectable border conflict with the Reich.
 * Brazil:  We condem French, Russian and Japanese aggression. We begin influencing Guyana, and many begin to feel that Brazil should reclaim it's stolen lands. We request an alliance with the USA. Military development begins, as we try to modenrize our great country. We currently have a standing army of about 130,000 men, and are building artillery pieces as well. We ask Argentina for an alliance, and secretly propose a plan to divide up Bolivia. (Mod response) 
 * ​Argentina: Accepts
 * No. You have no reason to condem them like that. And also, as a relitivly weak nation, you can not influence a state that is a completly different culture.
 * Yeah, the condemning is extremely meta.
 * Colombia: We thank the US Government for the development aid that this will take a better version of military and economy to help. The Government of Columbia is impressed with it, will make Bogota much bigger into it.
 * The US offers to sell an outdated Dreadnaught to the Colombian Navy.
 * Colombian Diplomacy: We accept the offer for an outdated Dreadnaught to our Colombian Navy.
 * Norway: begins developing and modernizing the military. We begin a naval expansion program to bring our navy up to speed on the current world. Concerned over French control of Southern China, as it has given them more influence in the East Asia, and more power in the world overall, we secretly request an alliance with Germany, and ask for a NAP with Britain. The army currently stands at about 130,000 men. We request to establish a trade agreement with the US concerning our oil.
 * Iceland: naval bases are constructed on Iceland.
 * Greenland: plan are made to make a new port on Greenland.
 * Yeah no. You have no reason to even care about Asia
 * You misunderstand. I am not concerned about Asia, I am concerned about how strong France is now. 
 * That's about okay then. I still recommend you change the wording a little though. 
 * Italian D: We offer a trade deal and an alliance to Noraway.
 * Japan: Japan makes a full push to Tianjin, using the navy to blockade the city and using the full force of 250.000 to capture it.
 * German Empire: We try to improve relations to ensure and continue our alliances w/ Italy and Britain.  The new generation of college graduates puts a kickstart into the economy as useful education methods succeed and continue. We ask the Russians to trade goods. We manufacture a new standard german arms collection for each soldier. We finish creating deadly poison gases and begin production. Our military scientists now look into fully-automatic weaponry for frequent use in our military. We call for a secret military meeting with Italy in Berlin. We also let Austria-Hungary know to please stop. We would like to still keep the same borders without annoying disputes every year. We do try to ease this. We build up military now standing at 1,000,000. We declare war on the sovereign state of Poland. We begin a full scale invasion of the puny country. With 75,000 troops, 1000 cavalry, and 500 artillery, in the south we invade Lublin and Cracow. The north and central Polish area is invaded with a main force of 200,000 troops, 1500 cavalry, and 700 artillery which we use to invade Warsaw. With artilleries booming on the buildings, horseman riding up with great speed, men from many directions, and a fair amount of armored vehicles, Warsaw and Poland altogether is doomed. To up the battle force, we drop small bombs into the streets below from hot air balloons to scare citizens away to avoid too much death. 
 * To many troops, I'm pretty sure this is implausible.
 * Russian Dip: we agree with the trade deal from Germany


 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try and start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate. Tensions start to lessen, but alas, continue with Germany over the ownership of several lands bordering Austria-Hungary, resulting in a neglectable border conflict with the Reich. As the German invasion of Poland begins, Austria accuses the Reich of uneeded agression and will declare war on the German Empire in the defence of Poland

 * The Herero Rebellion in German South-West Africa rages on. Several more tribes join in the fray, and also make an example, resulting in more tribal revolts in the Boer Free State and other neighboring colonies.
 * <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">Pentecostalism continues to spread qucikly. Many protests are held accusing the government on violating First Ammendment Rights. A police office is lynched, and there are no definite leads, but it is beleived to be due to Christian sectarian violence regarding Pentecostles.
 * <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">Alright, what is this event leading to? I can find no OTL precedence for this event, no mention of violent sessecion in OTL, yet in this game it seems Pentecostals hate the US. Furthermore, searching for sectarian violence between Christans and Pentecostles led me to Latin America and India, not the US. If you want to argue that somehow violating the first ammendment of minorities lead to "many protests" in the US, then look to the crackdown on communism in the US. If this is leading to a seccsionist movement then I am calling this out as completly implausable. No widespread, religous based seperatist movement could have made grounds during this time. Even the Mormans, who where centered in Utah had a brief flirt with indpedndence that failed without any major battles. 

just because their rights arnt actulluy being violatec doesntt mean they dontt precivee them as violated. The rest i agree with though. ~fires
 * Going further, I am not violating their first ammendment rights, I am stopping a group that promotes violence against the US. The perivious event claimed that "some" more radical preachers promoted seccession. That is what they are being cracked down on against. Not religon. So I guess I sorta am, but at the same time the way the event arc was going seems to have put me in a corner. No other seccsionist groups, barring the aformentioned mormans and the Confederates, had/have much support, yet the way this event arc was going implied that I would be facing a violent uprsing in the future.

Plans are laid to help the 300,000 British troops sent to help Poland by Taking the port of Danzig, with British aid.
