2022-10-10 18:17:30 +0000 UTCI seem to have contracted a cough this weekend, but seeing this uploaded made me feel a little happier. 1904 2nd February In the Japanese Empire, an Ultimatum is sent to Russian Prime Minister Sergei Witte Demanding that Russia Concede Fishing Rights as well as Economic Privileges in Siberia within 24 Hours or Face War. The Deadline is too short: a Coding Delay at the Japanese Embassy, as well as the Time differences, Means that by the Time it reaches Prime Minister Witte, the Russian Government has only 12 Hours in which to Reply, but Japan, in a Moment of Haste, has Cut all of the Telegraph Lines between Japan and Russia, Seeking to make Sure that Russian Spies cannot Communicate with Saint Petersburg but, in Reality, Ensuring War. 7th February In the Russian Empire, a Fleet of Six Dreadnought Battleships belonging to the Imperial Japanese Navy under the Command of Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō Fire on the Russian Fleet at Anchor in Port Arthur, Fengtian Province, Disabling Two Russian Battleships and a Cruiser. The Conflict that will become Known as the Fourth Great World War has begun. 10th February In the Russian Empire, Prime Minister Sergei Witte Rises before the Duma and Announces that, as Japan has Refused to Hear Russia’s Reply to their Ultimatum, a State of War now Exists between Japan and Russia. In the Russian Empire, upon Learning of the Outbreak of War, the Doukhobors ~ Knowing that Conscription has been Extended to Transcaucasia and Unwilling to take up Arms against the Japanese or anyone else ~ Collect their Weapons and Ceremonially Burn them, amidst much Singing of Hymns and Psalms. 12th February In the Russian Empire, Cossacks sent from Tiflis come to the Dukhobor Villages, Burn them to the Ground and then Arrest most of the Men. The Entire Dukhobor Population is then Dispersed across Siberia and Eastern Russia. 21st October In the Kingdom of Great Britain, while En Route from Saint Petersburg to Vladivostok to Reinforce the Russian 1st Pacific Squadron Stationed at Port Arthur, Manchuria, the Captain of a Russian Supply Ship Mistakes a Passing Svealandic Ship for a Japanese Torpedo Boat, Despite being more than 20,000 Miles from Japan, and Radioes that he is under Attack. Later that same Night, in heavy Fog, the Officers of the Russian Baltic Fleet Sight a Fleet of British Fishing Trawlers from Kingston upon Hull, Read their Signals Incorrectly, and Classify them as Japanese Torpedo Boats. The Russian Warships Illuminate them with their Searchlights and Open Fire. Because their Nets are down, the Trawlers cannot Flee. The British Trawler Crane is Sunk and its Captain and First Mate are both Killed and Six others are Injured. In the Confusion, the Russian Cruisers Aurora and Dmitrii Donskoi are taken for Japanese Warships and are Bombarded by Seven Russian Battleships Sailing in Formation, Killing a Sailor and a Russian Orthodox Priest. After 20 Minutes’ Firing, the Fishermen see a Blue Light Signal on One of the Warships ~ the Order to Cease Firing. 22nd October In the Kingdom of Great Britain, some British Newspapers Call the Russian Fleet “Pirates” and Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky is Heavily Criticised for not leaving the British Sailors Lifeboats. The Editorial of the Morning’s Times is Particularly Scathing: “It is almost Inconceivable that any Men Calling themselves Sailors ~ no Matter how Frightened they may be ~ could spend 20 Minutes Bombarding a Fleet of Fishing Boats without Discovering the Nature of their Target.” The British Government Demands that the Baltic Sea Fleet stop to Aid the Investigation into the Incident. Tsar Nicholas II wants the Fleet in the East as quickly as possible and Demands that the British Postpone the Investigation, however the British are having none of it and even Place Troops on the Russian Ships to make sure that they Follow the British Fleet as they Return to the Port City of Portsmouth, Hampshire. 30th October In the Russian Empire, the British Royal Navy begins a Blockade around the Area where the North Sea and the Baltic Meet by Destroying all Russian Naval Craft and Charging all other Russian Merchant Ships with a Toll. Failure to Pay the Toll Results in the Confiscation of Cargo and Ships. The Confiscated Ships are given to the Families of Sailors who have lost their Lives, while the Cargo is sent to London to be Sold Cheaply. 3rd November In the Kingdom of Montenegro, the British Royal Navy sets up a Similar Blockade in the Straits of Otranto to stop Montenegrian Naval Ships and Charging a Fee to Merchant Vessels, but this Time, Failure to Comply with the Toll Means Ships and Cargo are sent to Malta to be Sold Cheaply. 1905 In the Byzantine Empire, Byzantium Launches its First Ironclad Warship, the Julius Caesar, a Monstrous Steam Ship of The Line Armed with 80 Cannon and Armoured with a Belt of 4 Inch Armour Plate. Later that Year, the Egyptian Empire Launches its Own Ironclad Warship, a Steam Ship of The Line Called the Pharaoh Necho II, Armed with 90 Guns and Armoured with a Belt of 5 Inch Armour Plate. Finally, Towards the End of the Year, the Kingdom of Svealand Launches the Sea Dragon, a Steam Ship of The Line Armed with 85 Guns and Armoured with a Belt of 4 Inch Armour Plate. This Marks the beginning of a new Naval Arms Race among the Great Powers in which smaller Powers like Brazil and the Aztec Empire will also Participate, but on a Lesser Scale, of Course. 1912 In the Kingdom of Denmark, although Britain is the Main Producer of Invasion Literature during this Time Period, the Genre Spreads to other Countries around the World and Influences Science Fiction. Geographically, Authors in other Countries also begin to Produce Invasion Literature to Encourage Militarism in their Respective Countries. William Le Queux Writes another Invasion Serial, The Copenhagen Interpretation, in 1912 about a German Invasion of Denmark Repulsed by British and Danish Forces which Gains a large Readership in Denmark. Other Examples of Invasion Literature at this Time Include a Novel Recounting a Russian Occupation of Germany and Stories Depicting a Korean Invasion and Occupation of Japan. In Particular is the Story Still Wind or Madakaze in Japanese, by Shunrō Oshikawa. Oshikawa Combines the Korean Occupation with a Science Fiction Element to make Madakaze One of the Pioneering Examples of Japanese Fiction. The Fusion of Science Fiction into the Invasion Genre also Occurs in European and American Stories. French Writers Arnould Galopin and Eugène Torquet both Write Stories about Invasions of France by Alien Forces. Galopin’s Guerre de l’Ether Feature his Doctor Omega Character Fending off a Venusian Landing in Normandy, and Gains a Following throughout France. In the United States, it would be Pioneering Science Fiction Author Edgar Rice Burroughs who brings the Invasion Genre into the Country. Burroughs’ 1915 and 1916 Serials, later Compiled as Carson Napier Collection Depict a Civilization from Mars Landing on Earth in the Eastern United States. The Main Character, the Eponymous Carson Napier, Fights off the Invasion Force and, in later Serials, Steals One of the Invading Ships and takes the Fight to Mars itself. While the Early Stories of the Carson Napier Serials are more Typical Invasion Literature, the Series is One of the First to Heavily Expand upon the Martian Culture and Influences the Depiction of Alien Civilizations in Science Fiction going Forward. 1934 22nd February In the Confederate States, Independence from America Day, Commemorating the Anniversary of the Signing of the Treaty of Manassas on 22nd February 1865 at the End of the War for Southron Independence [also Known as the “American Civil War” in the United States] is Observed with Military Parades, Fireworks Displays, and Family Barbecues. 1935 15th June In the Kingdom of Great Britain, Lately, Britain’s Economy has seen an Increasing Investor Confidence which Brought an Increased Investment in Anticipation of Future Gains. Thanks to the Money Brought in by the new Investments, the Overall Efficiency of Britain’s Industry has Increased. 1945 13th August In the Second Republic of China, Japanese Troops begin Landing at the Coastal Towns of Chuanshakou, Shizilin, and Baoshan, 31 Miles away from Downtown Shanghai under Cover of a Naval Bombardment. The Second Phase of Operation: Mars has begun. 1952 3rd October In the British Dominion of Australia, the Kingdom of Great Britain becomes the Third Nation to Explode a Sun Bomb at Montebello Island, Australia, at 09:2924, 2.7 Metres below the Water Line and leaving a Crater on the Seabed 20 Feet Deep and 300 Metres across.

Ireland only became a republic in 1937 following the adoption of a new constitution. In 1922(6 years after 1916) It would be the Irish Free State, which was a constitutional Monarchy under the British King. though throughout the 20s and 30s, the Irish government chipped away at British ties.
