eRepublikissa on nyt hyvää vauhtia puhkeamassa ensimmäinen maailmansota.
Maailmantaloutta ravisteleva lama sekä ATLANTIS:en ja PEACE GC:n väliset yhteenotot ovat aiheuttaneet diplomaattisten suhteiden heikkenemisen maailman valtioiden välillä. Tilanne on nyt eskaloitumassa eRepublikin ensimmäiseksi varsinaiseksi maailmansodaksi.
Brasilia on julistanut sodan Argentiinalle muutama päivä sitten.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/Brazil/law/774
Syyt sodanjulistukselle ovat vielä epäselviä, mutta ilmeisesti kyseessä on vanhojen riitojen selvittäminen aseellisesti ja Brasilian taloudentilan parantaminen. Brasilia lopetti neuvottelut ATLANTIS:en liittymisestä muutama kuukausi sitten, ja silloin asiaa perusteltiin tahdolla tehdä Brasiliasta eRepublikin kärkimaa. Nyt nämä imperialistiset tavoitteet ovat kulminoituneet sodaksi naapurimaata kohtaan.
Argentiinalla on tällä hetkellä MPP USA:n, Espanjan ja Ruotsin kanssa. Valtaisan koalition takia hyökkäyksiä ei ole vielä tehty ja on todennäköistä, että brasilialaiset odottavat muitten PEACE-maiden interventiota.
Apua onkin nyt tulossa indonesialaisten muodossa, jotka paraikaa äänestävät sodan julistamisesta Argentiinalle. http://www.erepublik.com/en/Indonesia/law/811
Indonesia osoittaa näin tukensa liittolaiselleen, ja on liittymässä sotaan Brasilian puolelle. Nähtäväksi jää, minkälaista apua Indonesia tulee antamaan Brasilialle ja mitkä ovat maan todelliset motiivit sodanjulistukselle.
Sillä välin Espanja on mobilisoinut joukkonsa ja katkaissut diplomaattiset suhteensa Portugaliin. Sodanjulistus Portugalia vastaan on äänestysvaiheessa ja näyttää siltä, että se menee läpi Espanjan kongressissa. http://www.erepublik.com/en/Spain/law/808
Espanjan ja Portugalin välit ovat olleet pitkään tulenarat, johtuen maitten RL historiasta sekä kuukausia sitten eRepublikissa käydystä Meksikon sodasta, jonka aikana Portugali esti Espanjan aikeet lisätä Meksikon valtapiirinsä valloittamalla ainoan maihinnousualueen. Suurella todennäköisyydellä tämä maihinnousualue tulee olemaan ensimmäisenä hyökkäyslistalla.
Espanjan hyökkäys Portugalia vastaan laukaisee MPP:t Ranskassa, Italiassa, Hollannissa, Indonesiassa, Brasiliassa, Venezuelassa sekä Pakistanissa. Odotettavaa on, että Ruotsi ja Romania joutuvat aloittamaan hyökkäyssodan Portugalia tukevia Euroopan maita vastaan, jolloin kriisi laajenee entuudestaan ja alkaa vaikuttamaan myös liittoutumattomaan Suomeen.
Hallitus ja eduskunta kokoontuvat kriisipalaveriin keskustelemaan Suomen ulkopoliittisesta linjasta tilannetta koskien.

The first world war is about to start in eRepublik.
Global recession and clashes between the ATLANTIS and the Peace GC have caused diplomatic relations between the world's nations to deteriorate. The situation is now escalating into eRepublik's first real world war.
Brazil has declared a war on Argentina a few days ago.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/Brazil/law/774
The reasons behind the declaration of war are still unclear, but apparently this was done to settle old disputes through militarily action, and to improve the state of the Brazilian economy. Brazil stopped negotiations concenrning joining ATLANTIS a few months ago, and the matter at the time was justified with Brazil's ambition to become the leading country in eRepublik. Now these imperialistic agendas have culminated into a war with a neighboring country.
Argentina currently has MPPs with U.S., Spain and Sweden. Because of the size of the opposing coalition no attacks have yet been made, and it is likely that Brazil is waiting for the assistance of other PEACE countries.
Help is now coming in the form of Indonesians, who are currently voting for declaring war on Argentina. http://www.erepublik.com/en/Indonesia/law/811
Indonesia shows its support to its ally, and is joining the war in the Brazilian side. It remains to be seen what kind of assistance Indonesia will lend to Brazil and what are their real motives behind the declaration.
Meanwhile, Spain has moblizied its troops and cut diplomatic relations with Portugal. Declaration of war against Portugal is on the voting stage, and it seems that it goes through in the Spanish Congress. http://www.erepublik.com/en/Spain/law/808
The Spanish and Portuguese relations have been flammable for a long time, owing to the countries RL history, as well as the Mexican War that happened several months ago in eRepublik, during which Portugal prevented the intentions of the Spanish to annex Mexico in its sphere of domination by conquering the only landing area. It's highly probable that the landing area will be the first on the attack list.
The Spanish attack against Portugal triggers the MPPs in France, Italy, Holland, Indonesia, Brazil, Venezuela and Pakistan. It is expected that Sweden and Romania will have to start a war of aggression against European countries that support Portugal, which further expands the crisis and begins to affect neutral Finland as well.
The government and the parliament will have an emergency meeting concerning Finland's foreign politicies regarding the situation that is taking place.

Thank you for the information
The eSpanish Government does not represent the will of the spanish citizens.
The eSpanish Government is a goon government (not the goons from Greece, Mexico, whatsoever, we have our own goons) who does not represent the will of Spanish citizens
Our allies must understand that this goon government is behaving without the force of the majority of the spanish population. They do not represent us. Hopefully they will leave after the war
my regards
This is the Second World War. The first World War started in beta when Romania attacked Hungary. Even the admins referred to that war as WWI
yes, Zoli is right...the WW1 was that between Romania and Hungary
so this may be the second...
Then again, the Romania-Hungary war is still on. I would treat it as a prelude to the real world war that is now about to erupt. The war between Romania and Hungary was not really as global as it seemed.
It was more global than you can imagine. Beside Romania and Hungary, there were 8 allies of Hungary, Sweeden sent all its troups to Romania and gave them 1000 Gold to fight, and soldiers from Turkey moved to Hungary to fight 🙂
"Brazil resigned from ATLANTIS a few months ago."
Has Brazil ever been a member of Atlantis? As far as I concerned they have never been. They said they would but joined Peace GC instead.
Great article though, Voted!
Zolli: In that sense it was global, but the war was still only between two countries. The definition of world war is of course open to interpretation, but I would say it means a war on a global scale with several fronts. Romania-Hungary War only had one front. It's really a matter of point of view.
Misho: yes, seems you are right. Thank you for correcting me.
Bolonia, maybe you don't agree with the Government but you can't say "The eSpanish Government does not represent the will of the spanish citizens."
Everytime, someone has asked about declaring war to Portugal, the most of the people agreed. Do I have to show you the surveys your people did.
Do I have to remember you that one of your party congressman proposed a war against ePortugal a few days ago http://erepublikspain.superforos.com/viewtopic.php?t=5771 and the Government wasn't agree, now, with the PEACE movements the situation has changed, and the Government has considereded it as part of a whole strategy against PEACE.
In the eSpanish Government there are many people hard working, you can't say they are goons.
Our allies must understand you are not "the majority of the Spanish population"
This is the problem in Spain, the people who doesn't accept not to be in the Government, the people that doesn't accept that others can think different from themselves.
If you don't want this war, make sure your congressmen vote NO to the war, because I think you can't be sure.
Thanks for the great article. I say we strap on your seatbelts boys, we're on for a hell of a ride.
To all CORRUPT fighters of ATLANTIS...
