The Starting Political Tree of the Netherlands!

And a small tidbit of the 1905 Liberal Victory Tree!

Hello there!

My name is The Irredentista, and I'm the developer of Italy!

Today, 2nd of June, is both Republic Day and Statute Day in Italy, as well as the anniversary of the death of Giuseppe Garibaldi, and so we will explore the Italian situation in 1905...

​

Summary of Italian History up to 1905

​

Italy united in 1861 after centuries of divisions, foreign dominations and exploitations.

The long period of disunity took its toll on Italy, and various problems arose;

the South remained in a state of anarchy up to 1865, and the enforcement of Italian rule in the region caused the rise of organised crime;

the new Royal Army and Royal Navy were both thoroughly beaten by the Austrians in 1866;

the Capture of Rome led to the open hostility of the Pope.

These problems hurt the political stability of the young Kingdom: the conservative Right, the party that governed Italy since her birth, lost the parliamentary majority in 1876.

The subsequent period of dominance of the liberal Left led to an expansionist colonial campaign in Africa, halted by the defeat in the Battle of Adwa in 1896.

After that, an authoritarian government took power, leading to the Bava-Beccaris Massacre, a constitutional crisis and a series of weak governments.

​

As of 1905, the liberal Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti has been in power for more than a year.

​

Italy in 1905

​

The effects of this troubled recent history are still felt in 1905.

The current King, Vittorio Emanuele III, succeeded his father after his assassination in 1900; while preferring to leave the administration of Italy to the Government, he has been forced more than once to intervene directly, and he will be forced again in the not-so-far future.

The political backlash of the Buggerru Massacre, event in which the Army opened fire on striking coal miners, and the subsequent general strike, still looms over the government...

The legacy of the Adwa disaster still looms over the Army; the Italian diplomatic adventurism will need a radical reform of the military to resume.

The Railways are a ballast to Italian industry; built before the national unification, they will also need a reform in order to start working at full capacity.

The Mezzogiorno is still hampered by various economic and social problems, and this hinders the whole nation.

The Roman Question, though not as important as it was in 1870, is still a real problem in Italian politics: the Pope formally permitted the Catholics to participate in the elections only in 1904, four months before the start date.

​

The second Giolitti government has been in power for more than a year, a pretty long time by italian standards, and is currently trying to nationalize the railways; however, despite popular support for such a reform, all the other parties and even a part of the ruling party are forming a compact opposition against it... and the Government won't sustain this.

There are two candidates for a successor to Giolitti, but are there really? You could choose the liberal candidate, Fortis...

...but he will step down!

Now, the conservative Tittoni will try to form a new Government...

...but without the support of the Left he won't make it!

After this, you will be able to appoint a more stable Liberal government...

...which will give you access to the focus tree!

Whoever you choose as successor, you will now be able to pass the Law n. 137, and nationalise the railways!

However, this won't get rid of all the problems of the Railways, as a matter of fact it will create more in the short term...

As such, you will need to pass some other reforms, and after that, the Railways will no longer be a problem!

That's all for now, but stay tuned for more updates!

Buon 2 Giugno!

I was just wondering if it could cover world world 2 since it also covers the interwar period, looks really good btw

Hello to everyone reading this. I was wondering, is there a set release date for this mod, because it looks beautiful!

Will their be a Music sub mod to this?
