Come, my fellow Imperialists, and join, let us debate how to go about restoring our nations' former greatness. Do not be frightened by silly anti-imperialists.

Cool. Heres a topic for discussion.

Would it have been beneficial to both the emerging German empire and the British empire if Britain had remained neutral in WW1 in exchange for guarantees that Germany would not challenge their see dominance? IE, German empire in Europe and Britain keeps its power abroad?

BDC
08-10-2005, 17:31
Oh for the days everyone was under Britain's shiney imperialistic boot, rather than just speaking English and thinking I'm American, like now.

Although going practically anywhere in the world and seeing how Britain's armies destroyed local wonders of the world and minor utopias everywhere does make me feel proud.

Maybe if Wilhelm II had suffered an "unfortunate accident" about oh let's say 1905. It might have happened. Could it have been beneficial maybe, the British felt a natural affinity with the Germans. And the only thing that drove France and Britiain together was Wilhelm's hell or high water desire to have boats like his grand-mother (Queen Victoria).

oh oh can i join. i am extrermely violent and utterly imperialist. i know how to make africa better.

step 1: get spies into country and learn all high political leaders daily routine, also make alliance with local rebels (theres gotta be some, its africa)
step 2: on the eve of the decleration of war have each one of the political leaders and rebels all assasinated via sniper rifle.
step 3: the now leaderless army should be crushed into a great pincer via paratroopers and ground forces, give gifts to locals and gain there trust and allegiance
step 4: instate a puppet goverment and call the new area a province.
step 5:build new homes, wells, roads, farms and import thosands of head of cattle. making the people love you.
step 6: train some high powered locals in polotics, put them in government.
step 7: set up army recruitment points and preach of the army benefits, recruit auxilia.
step 8: give it full state status and expand.

naturally thias is just the framework, there will be flaws, mistakes but until i try to do this plan...who cares.

Sign me up!

It's about time we restored some order in the non-European world. We need to take up our burden again and continue our task of spreading civilization and manners amongst those pityful natives.

But I'll settle for nothing less then a full restoration of French authority over half of North-America, the western half of Africa, half of India, the northern Middle East and South East Asia. And a few thousand Pacific islands to boot.

The noble savages who inhabit these lands are entitled to our 'guidance'.

We kicked the British out of the US for you guys, so we can't take it for ourselves now.

But why stop at Mexico? While we're at it, why don't we divide the whole of Latin America amongst ourselves too? The Iberians made a bloody mess of it anyway.

I hereby claim the best part, Brazil, in the name of France. :knight:

The members of the Imperialist Club must take an oath that they believe in the following:
1. The Right of Conquest is the foundation of Imperialism. Any country has the right to another as long as they are able to conquer it.
2. Autocracy is the sole viable way of governing an Empire.
2. That one must do everything in ones power to better the interests of the country and the Empire, even if it means overthrowing the present ruler if he is incompetent.

And finnally all British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealanders and other members whose home country is ruled by Her Most Brittanic Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, that they pledge to be loyal to God, Her and your Country.
Let us begin with some good singing:

God save our gracious Queen
God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.

O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter thine enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.

AziSerious curiousity warrants a serious reply:

We have to distuingish between the people and the State. The French Republic, for historical reasons, is fiercely secular. Catholicism, with it's centralised, authoritive structure has a tendency to form a 'state within the state', or even to control and replace it. And in the Ancien Régime, our clergy was particularly interwoven with the French state (read: nobility).
Organised religion / the Catholic Church had to be fought no less than royalist forces if the Revolution was to succeed.

The 'Cult of Reason' phenomenon was only during the Revolutionary years. But yes, reason and anti-clericalism is what makes a French citizen free. But that is a political statement. Many reactionary French still think that you can only be truly French if you're a pious Catholic. Me, I will personally rip of any visible cross or head-scarf that I see on any state-salaried official.

Of course, ever since the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, freedom of religion has been a constitutional right. What you do or believe in outside of the public sphere is of no concern to the state.

This secularism of the state goes to such extremes that the government even refuses to gather statistical information as to the religion of her citizens. There is therefore no official statistic, but a quick google search produced that in a: '2003 poll 41% said that the existence of God was "excluded" or "unlikely". 33% declared that "atheist" described them rather or very well, and 51% for "Christian".

Another source put France second on the list of nations with non-religious people:
'Belgium with 37%, France with 43%, and the Netherlands with 54%. France is the country with the greatest number of atheists: 14%.'

Azi Tohak
08-11-2005, 01:37
Very interesting. Thank you Louis. Where was the USA on that list of non-religious peoples? ~;)

To each their own is my official stance on religion, including atheism. I doubt I need to tell you that I personally am Christian, but after being 'frustrate' and 'angry' for a long time (not atheist per say...) I can understand that being preached to is amazingly irritating.

Anyway, I am reading Caribbean right now (yeah, I know, great source for historical info), but I am to the French Revolution, and the anti-Catholicism from so many people is palpable. Not knowing much about religion in Europe these days, I did not know how serious your claim was about no God or Queen in your country.

Thank you Louis ~:cheers:

Hong Kong might be a challenge, but for India, and the rest of the Empire, I would get the Commonwealth countries to give over more and more power to the Secretary-General and the Assembly of the British Commonwealth, until it has power over foreign policy, defence, and a few other things. I would then have the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs appointed as Secretary-General, then merge and split the posts, to have Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Secretary of State for the Commonwealth, who would have the responsibilities of Secretary-General, without having to answer to the Assembly, only the Prime Minister and Monarch

That wouldn't work. We need to keep the appearance of equality. So the commonwealth countries get a seat on the council. Give it power over the foreign policy of all members. Make all armies of the member nations the commonwealth army (for the sake of ripping off Andromeda) let's call it the high guard. Every member state gets to keep a home guard, which they control directly. Then we have the monarch with much in the way if direct control of the commonwealth. Make it so the no PM from any member nation has more official power (influence is another story). That way the other nations will think they have more say in their own destiny.

Make it like the mafia. You can have an equal say, but don't try and leave. ~;)

Oh, I would have kept the Assembly of the Commonwealth, but it would merely be to advise the Secretary of State for the Commonwealth, like the Imperial Congresses. It would become so that each nation is a puppet nation, with the governments of each appointed by the Monarch as Head of the Commonwealth. The puppet governments would act to please HM and HM Government, otherwise they would be axed.

Ha! I come up with the idea of an Imperialist Club and write the doctrine and establish the formal hymn of the British Imperial Club and I don't even get a prime post! And I do not want some Naval position or the RAF. My family has a long martial tradition (My great-grandfather was at the first day of the Somme and his father did much service in India) and I expect a post accordingly. *End ranting and raving mode*

As this is a club, it must be a good, traditional gentleman's club where gentlemen go to get away from their wives ~;) . So the club regulations are as follows:
1. All club members must be members of the Imperialist Club and have taken the oath. If you don't swear to uphold God and the Queen/monarch then you can go back to that atheistic, democratic, republican place of yours which has no hope of becoming an empire. The reasons are these: if you don't believe in God then God will not help you with your empire and you can't run an efficient empire on a democracy.
2. The alcoholic beverages will be at a greatly reduced price and will include: sherry, port, scotch whisky(other types are not drunk in a gentleman's club), rum, brandy and gin and tonics. Tea will of course be provided free of charge (coming straight from our latest acquisition, Ceylon).
3. The food will be made by a first class chef and be at a greatly reduced price for our members. However fast food will not be permitted under any shape or form.
4. Their will be regulated gambling on the premises for club members. However, the club reserves the right not to allow members to play, lest they lose great amounts of money.

There will be two further hymns of the British Imperialist Club.

I Vow to Thee, My Country
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.


Land of Hope and Glory
Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned.
God make thee mightier yet!
On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned,
Once more thy crown is set.
Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained,
Have ruled thee well and long;
By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained,
Thine Empire shall be strong.

Land of Hope and Glory,
Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee,
Who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider
Shall thy bounds be set;
|: God, who made thee mighty,
Make thee mightier yet. :|

Thy fame is ancient as the days,
As Ocean large and wide:
A pride that dares, and heeds not praise,
A stern and silent pride:
Not that false joy that dreams content
With what our sires have won;
The blood a hero sire hath spent
Still nerves a hero son.

Then i think you should invade/nuke the us before to start this as they have an old tradition of betrayal of their allies concerning suez.

The Commonwealth shall come to our aid if ever we are invaded -- look at the First and Second World Wars. Canada and Australia and New Zealand were hardly threatened, but still they came fighting the good fight for the glory of the Empire. If the US invades these isles, then Canada would surely help us, and attack the US.

Yes, the suez would be an ingenius idea, then we would have control over all shipping into the Mediterranean, so we could stop supplies to a good many nation, starve them, and make it somewhat easier to attack...

Listen, i dont want an argument but....The Coalition fighting during desert Strom was much like it is in the current Gulf War, split into zones. Britain had to take care of (i think) the SW and the W of the country, while America went up the centre into Bahgdad. The Exception being the air campaign where the loads was shed Jointly between the UK and US with countries like Austrailia and Canada providing a little air defence (kudos to Canada for being in its first independant war!).
The two problems in saying America did more are thus...The ground campaign lasted only 8 months and most of the Iraqi army surrendered upon sight, so not that much conventional fighting was done, and the second is that the first tanks, indeed the first ground troops, across the border were from the famed british regiment the Desert Rats.
America however did much more negotiating before the war, in order to prevent it, therefore must be given credit for trying to avert conflict.
Settled, now lets get drunk and play some stinking BACKGAMMON!

“war is an extension of politics by other means”
Carl Von Clausewitz

You qualify your statement with..."in a conventional war" and are correct in doing so.

War is not a clash of machinery.
War is a contest of wills.
On paper the army of Iraq was powerful, but it folded under impact.
The will of the Iraqi people, who largely hated Saddam, is proving to be a much harder nut to crack.
Actually the will of only the 20% Sunni population is.
The will of a people to defend their nation only needs to trump the will of the American people to take casualties subjugating that nation.

You could not, for example, win a war against Australia, and their army would have nothing to do with that.
The United States invaded Canada in the war of 1812 with every advantage and failed.

There are limits to power and all the bright shining weapons in the world will not change that.

2. Autocracy is the sole viable way of governing an Empire.
2. That one must do everything in ones power to better the interests of the country and the Empire, even if it means overthrowing the present ruler if he is incompetent.

And finnally all British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealanders and other members whose home country is ruled by Her Most Brittanic Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, that they pledge to be loyal to God, Her and your Country.
Let us begin with some good singing:

God save our gracious Queen

God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.

O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter thine enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.

I swear by the colours!
For Queen and Country!
By Jingo we'll show them off What!

Unless the House of Windsor comes up with a succesor suitable to governing an empire, its curtains for the degenarate bunch. A worthy succesor will be put foward...As Flanders, our dear allies during the Hundred Years War, is joining the Empire willingly, we will allow you to govern your selves. We only wish a small tribute every year and the pride that that area is couloured red on the map.

the term is pink, not red.

And do we not also have a claim to Hanover and the Netherlands?
HRH the Duke of Edinburgh was a Prince of Greece, and Grandson of one of the Hellenic Kings, so perhaps we should uphold a claim there, also. I believe that he also comes from the Danish line. Another claim?

King Henry V
08-16-2005, 21:45
John of Guant was married to Blanche of Castille so perhaps we could take Spain. The only problem with Hanover is that it holds the Salic Law, which was why the electorateship was inherited by an uncle of Queen Victoria.

Duke Malcolm
08-16-2005, 21:48
Surely it no longer upholds the Sallic laws? After all, Germany is a *shudders in disgust* republic.
Since the law is not in place, we can assert a claim? If not, perhaps assert a claim for Philip...

Let's see Hanover, yes but you'd need to be rid of the current prince, Enrst-August, who is decended from that uncle of Victoria. The Netherlands no, William and Mary never had any surviving children. *checks Stuart line to make sure is not talking out of arse* Nope neither Mary nor Anne had any children survive. Also HRH Phil the Greek renounced his claims to the Greek throne in perpetuity through out the universe when he married Elizabeth, so no go there. But the current kings of both Sweden and Spain are decended from HRH Phil the Greeks (the Battenburgs) family through the female line. So HRH Prince Charles and Prince William have claims to the thrones of Spain and Sweden. The Swedish claim is better as one of Phil's aunts, Louise Mountbatten married Gustav VI of Sweden.

EDIT; checked some more geneologies and their is a claim to the Danish throne in their too. Queen Mary (Elizabeth II grand mother) was a daughter of Christian IX of Denmark.

So HRH Prince Charles and Prince William have claims to the thrones of Spain and Sweden. The Swedish claim is better as one of Phil's aunts, Louise Mountbatten married Gustav VI of Sweden.

EDIT; checked some more geneologies and their is a claim to the Danish throne in their too. Queen Mary (Elizabeth II grand mother) was a daughter of Christian IX of Denmark.

you can have our bloody throne, but stay out of our country! *takes the royal family, puts them in a box, and sends it to France to live in exile*

I need to type in English on forums, except on the language thread. Besides, I'm using a Canadian keyboard now...yes, I will pledge the Bundeswher (name to be changed ASAP, to somthing more imperialistic) to the invasion of France with my English brothers. Can we have Prussia back from Poland if we invade that too? And Austria and Bohemia?

Surely it no longer upholds the Sallic laws? After all, Germany is a *shudders in disgust* republic.
Don't worry, the German Princes and Barons will rise up in rebellion against the Bundesrepublik.

No we'll just let the Chinese and the Yanks tear bits out of each other until they are too weak. As for the Japs, it's simple: we have the bomb, they don't.

How 'bout I give you 10, 000? All fully equipped with Heckler Und Koch's, of course. I need my remaining 140, 000 to push into other countries, at the first asking of the War Office.

Austria is hereby declared a protectorate of the Empire. Vienna is a beautiful city and I don't want it harmed. Poland and the Czech Rep is given permission to be invaded, on condition that my ancestral lands in Prussia be given to me.

Well, the Regiments serving in Northern Ireland (including the Royal Irish Regiment) can go on into the Irish Republic and fight off the Irish Army or Defence Force, or whatever they have with their Shinty sticks and take my ancestral lands for me, my Queen and Country, and God and the Empire.

Except the fact was this, number 3 and six were about as much use in a battle, as the old joke goes, as an accordion at a hunting party.
