The 6th Anniversary of the End of the Great War and 2 Years Since the Great Depression Began In America


"Fucking Jerries, Ruskies and Yanks. I can't believe it's been 6 years since we lost the damn war and yet it hurts like I just heard the announcement on the radio. 'We'll never let the old flag fall' my ass. And those goddamn Frogs didn't help either, losing Paris so quickly, and to think they thought that what they scrounged up at Marne was enough to stop the Jerries. Well look at them now, they surrendered thinking it would save their asses and now the commies rule France. Jerry's smiling right now but once the Commune and the Union team up for some good 'ol revenge from both sides they won't know what hit them.

Meanwhile across the Pond, the Yanks were happy to sell us, and the Hun once our blockade fell apart in '16, everything we needed to fight the war, making a pretty penny off our struggle. Well, serves them right their economy is in a free fall, just wish it didn't extend over here as hard as it did. The Russians were worthless, and they started the whole damn thing. If they just backed off on Serbia none of us would be in this mess. And when they finally surrendered in '18, over 50 divisions came from the East to the West and overran what we had in France. They moved with unstoppable force until they met the Italians, who gave them a right and bloody nose, with some help from us of course. With the Italians unsolved, they sent the majority of their free forces to the Middle East to help the Turks kick us out of there and now Kaiser Bill co-owns the Suez.

Then when the peace was finally agreed on in 1918, Germany stripped us, the French, and the Belgians of all of Central and Eastern Africa as well as parts of Southern Africa, save for Rhodesia, South Africa, and Bechuanaland. In the East, they took Singapore and Malaya. The Empire was bruised. Then in 1919, India, dissatisfied with our rule, decided to kick us out for good, the Irish, South Africans, Egyptians, Aussies, Kiwis, and Canadians soon followed suit, with Canada receiving American protection.

Now we are left with Guyana, Hong Kong, Ceylon, West Africa, Newfoundland, Jamaica, and several other scattered islands as well as the overseas French colonies, a shadow of our former selves. But I, as many of my fellow brothers in arms and the people of Britain, have hope and confidence that we will rise again to our former glory, exact revenge on the Fritz, and raise the Union Jack across the globe once more. The Sun may have set, but the Sun Rises Yet Again.

And with the general election coming up for this year, a new face will lead Britain into the future, one can only wonder who it will be."

Will Mosley here support King Edward VIII? I think in otl both Churchill and Mosley both supported the King and didn’t want him to abdicate.

Will King Edward be more involved in actual governance with Mosley as PM?

So, just so I've got it straight, the British and French lost WWI, and lost most of their empires. France went Communist, and Germany took most of their colonial empires? And Russia also went Communist but has just been sitting there? Well Germany is going to be in dire straights. They couldn't fight a two front war in the 40's, trying it in the 30's while also trying to control a massive empire full of people with no reason to be loyal to them... it only ends one way. Real curious what happened to the Ottomans in that mess, because it sounds like their empire never fell, which basically will rewrite everything about the Middle East. If the Ottomans are still in power, I wonder if South East Europe is still under their control. If the former British and French holdings in the ME are now German and/or Ottoman, The British will have a tough time playing the colonial game until Germany gets crushed in a two front war and goes Communist. Of course, a Communist Europe is not going to be cool with a reemerging British Empire...
