Overview

History

Heiwa-Seiki

Modern History

Pre-Great War (1900-1924)

By the turn of the 20th century, Tayichi had enjoyed nearly eight decades of maritime peace and economic prosperity under Heiwa-Seiki. However, the rapid industrialization witnessed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries precipitated mounting social unrest, particularly among the growing working class. The emergence of the Radical Syndicalist Party in 1889 marked the inception of organized socialist activism within the nation, orchestrating large-scale protests and demonstrations. Primarily concentrated in the industrial hubs of Gyoson and Kitai, the Radical Syndicalist Party boasted a membership numbering in the tens of thousands. The socio-economic landscape witnessed a seismic shift with the Shuto Imperial Stock Market crash of 1905, rendering numerous workers jobless and homeless. This catalyzed widespread unrest across the Tayichian Isles, with radical socialists at the forefront of mass demonstrations. However, the burgeoning movement suffered a significant setback in May, when a police crackdown and subsequent massacre unfolded in Samsun, Gyoson on May 1st. This event dealt a crippling blow to the syndicalist cause in Tayichi, precipitating the collapse of the Radical Syndicalist Party and its affiliates. The ensuing period, characterized by heightened political paranoia, endured until the outbreak of the Great War and has since been referred to as the First Red Scare.


The challenging social and economic climate swiftly paved the way for the ascent of various populist figures within Tayichi's political landscape, notably Kawashima Maseru. A former Imperial Navy Admiral turned politician, Kawashima clinched victory in the 1919 election under the banner of the Conservative faction within the Liberal-Democratic Party. Kawashima's initial tenure as leader saw the enactment of a slew of militaristic and imperialistic policies. Among these were the introduction of The National Conscription Act of 1920 and the implementation of the "Kage" Plan, aimed at bolstering the nation's armaments industry. Concurrently, the government's foreign policy maintained a staunchly pro-colonial stance, solidifying Tayichi's influence over the Syo region through pseudo-colonial entities like Nomura, as well as the formation of the Borealian United Front in 1921. Additionally, there was a concerted effort to centralize authority in Tayichi's overseas possessions.


Despite the eruption of the Great War in 1923, Tayichi officially maintained neutrality initially, only to officially declare war on Hansa and the Singhapala Bisaya a year later.

Great War (1924-1939)

Despite initially having a neutral stance on the conflict, a pre-emptive strike on Hansa has been a long goal of the colonial policy of Kawashima's Government. Hansa's influence over nations in Southern and Eastern Borealia, mainly the Singhapala Bisaya Republic, has long been a major threat to Tayichi within the region, as Tayichi saw Borealia as its own sphere of influence. ...
