UK Sep-Dec 1920

- We're looking to make some good money in order to save our disintergrating economy, so extensive development on oilfields in Kuwait and Eastern Arabia are begun, with the aim of significantly increasing British oil production. Also some development on the Brunei and Malaysian oilfields.

- Further rebuilding of the war's damage.

- A bill to allow women's suffrage is narrowly rejected, causing dismay and discontent amongst some of the populace.

- On November 5th, Bonfire Night, communist supporters march through London in spirit of Guy Fawkes. A Fascist counterrally is organised by Hastings and Mosley, and the two sides clash at Holborn. The Battle of Holborn, as it comes to be known as, leaves 17 dead, and further deepens the ideological divide growing in the country.

- Bloody Sunday happens (the 1920 one, not the warcrime one in the 60s). The IRA massacres 14 British officers, sparking a day of bloodletting and chaos which sends Ireland into further disruption. Consequently, martial law is declared in Ireland, and the British military moves in.
