Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Zearoth's right: for this to be a Great War, there has to be at least one other Great Power on our side, and Serbia isn't a GP. Who is our ally?

Nah, that was people supporting the socialists. Completely different group, and I say that as someone who said they were being short sighted and hypocritical.

Now that we're commie, if we survive we're ABSOLUTELY spreading the revolution to the Khedivate.

burning down europe will make africa relatively much stronger, thus burning down europe is anti-imperialist qed

Who's joining our side? Since things can't escalate to Great War without a pair of GP's in each side. I don't assume Communist Andalus has enough score to be a GP so quickly. Were the Germans the ones backing us in this crisis?

We're gonna be facing the Dual Monarchy and Morocco (as expected), along with Russia and New England. Germany and the United Republic have backed us, with Japan being another possibility (we might be able to convince them to join the fray).

That's just at the outset of the war though, a lot more nations will probably be throwing their lot in as well as things start heating up.

In exile, gulag, or a mass grave presumably.

Also yeah all the fash got garroted which means Al-Andalus is automatically better than the universe where we sided with the actual, literal fascists with a swastika on their flag.

So wait, after the main feature of both world wars was the fact that there were two big frounts with Germany in the middle, now you have engineered a great war in which every country has two fronts from Morroco to Al Andalus to France to Germany to Russia to Japan. Maybe more depending on how things go with Ibriz and other as of yet uninvolved nations. Everybody has multiple fronts upon which they can be threatened, the whole world will be striped with trenches.

Ibriz, China, the Berber Union, the Khedive, the Balkans, Egypt, Armenia, and Palermo are uninvolved, but maybe they'll stick a toe in at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if Poland and Provence get Belgium'd.

Edit: Although if Japan or the Khedive doesn't get involved, there's not really any imperialist powers on the side of Al Andalus to attack any of the colonies.

i'm assuming palermo and titoslavia will end up fighting with us, that could at least make the russians walk a long way before they can get around to murdering us

and yeah the alternating allies along an arc from senegal to siberia (and on to, uh, shikoku if japan joins with us) are pretty funny, how organic was that development? also, how close has a real life war come to that, with multiple multiple-front wars going on simultaneously? can anybody think of anything along those lines?

edit: the alternating arc could go even farther if the khedivate declared war against morocco and morocco's colonies in south africa had a border with the khedivate. then we could have it arcing across three continents and most of the world

Actually there wasn't. The black vizier was about noble privilege, not about race theory.
