U.K.

- Our offensive into Africa stops. What were we doing?! We withdraw from Algeria, though this of course doesn’t make relations any better.

- Britain announces the closure of the Gibraltar Strait and Suez Canal for all military vessels, until further notice. We have effectively closed off the Mediterranean. This will be done in an attempt to stop the needless loss of life in a war against North Africa, which Britain opposes. We don’t wish for conflict with our allies, only peace in Africa.

- A massive Miners Strike begins in Britain and Iceland, temporarily crippling the British coal industry, which wasn’t too big to begin with.

- The Irish independence referendum is held, and 73% vote in favour of independence. The new state of Euire, though commonly referred to as just Ireland, is formed, and is for now separate from Munster.

- Designs for a war-mech are unveiled, and almost everyone notes the identicality with the AT-AT of Star Wars fame. The government defends this, but the design becomes the subject of satire and criticism from supporters and opponents alike. Despite all this, scientists stand by the design. (I like the design of AT-ATs, and frankly if FloweyFan can get away with his sevarantholopijsrj, then I can do this. Obviously it fires bullets, not lasers) (Also Panch sorry if you don’t like the design, I can change it if you want)
