As the first founding father, I too can agree I was upset with my English daddy. I sure won't let the French put a gigantic statue in Manhattan as a constant reminder to the globe about how "American freedom" is owed almost entirely to the French. And then proceed to lose every war we participate in without the intervention of the Brits. Every single one. We don't look like a country founded on Daddy-Issues, liberated by cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys, who armed every retard we could possibly lie to with deadly weapons. That won't lead to us having the highest homicide rate on the planet. And given the above, we won't stereotype the Brtish at all; because we've done so well Daddy. We'll just laugh at their teeth and accents. Despite the fact the British are in the top 5 DMFT rating in the world (Decayed, Missing or Filled Teeth) and ours are bright-white like a 5-year-olds; because we're totally not an inhereintly racist nation based on vanity. And we certainly won't bully the natives or other small nations around us once we've gotten a little taste of power. Nope, no Daddy issues here...

-the alternate path of 'ratify the Stresa Front' makes Italy guarantee Austria, which then leads both of them to join the Allies, IF France is also in there. It's also why Italy was asking for colonies rather than just declaring war -you probably already realised this but the reason that so many random African colonies popped out of you is because of Ethiopia, as you yourself instigated in your sparkly, filled with rainbows and unicorns Ethiopia games HoI4 lore moments Also, great video.

[@kolkoki]

Not peruvian but here's an short essay about Peru becoming leader of the Axis : Peru emerged as the surprising leader of the Axis Powers during World War II, taking over from its former ally Germany. While the reasons for this shift may seem absurd at first glance, a closer look reveals an intricate web of political, economic, and social factors that contributed to this unexpected turn of events. To begin with, Peru's rise to prominence can be attributed in large part to its strategic location along the Pacific coast. With easy access to vital trade routes between North and South America, as well as the ability to project power across both oceans, Peru found itself in a unique position to assert dominance over the region and beyond. This geographical advantage was further bolstered by the country's booming economy during this time period, which allowed it to invest heavily in military expansion and modernization efforts. The political landscape of South America also played a significant role in Peru's ascendancy within the Axis Powers. As previously mentioned, the Communists emerged victorious from the Spanish Civil War, leading to widespread fear among conservative governments throughout the continent that they too would fall prey to Marxist ideologies if left unchecked. In response, many nations began seeking alliances with more powerful and established empires - such as Italy and Japan - in order to bolster their defenses against potential communist threats. This shift towards embracing fascism was further exacerbated by the events of 1939, when a second civil war erupted in Russia, resulting in the reinstatement of a Tsar. With the specter of an imperialist, autocratic neighbor looming large over their borders, many South American nations felt compelled to align themselves with other like-minded regimes that shared similar ideological beliefs and strategic interests. In this context, Peru found itself uniquely positioned as both a geopolitical linchpin and a symbol of resilience against communism and imperialism. As such, it quickly became the go-to ally for any nation seeking protection from these perceived threats - including Italy and Japan, who were increasingly concerned about maintaining their influence in the region amidst growing competition from other global powers like the United States and Great Britain. Moreover, Peru's rise to power within the Axis Powers was also facilitated by a series of opportunistic political maneuvers on the part of its leadership. Recognizing that Germany had become increasingly isolated and discredited following its defeat in World War I, Peruvian officials sought to position their nation as a more appealing alternative for other would-be Axis partners. To achieve this goal, Peru embarked on an aggressive public relations campaign aimed at promoting the virtues of its political system and military prowess while simultaneously highlighting the shortcomings of its German rival. This effort was further bolstered by a series of high-profile diplomatic visits between Peruvian officials and their counterparts in Italy and Japan, which helped to solidify the new alliance and pave the way for greater cooperation on matters of military strategy and economic development.

[@kolkoki]

As we delve deeper into the factors contributing to Peru's rise to power within the Axis Powers during World War II, it becomes increasingly apparent that a combination of serendipitous events and strategic ingenuity played a key role in shaping this unlikely alliance. For instance, consider the pivotal moment when Peruvian officials learned of Germany's defeat in World War I - an event which would ultimately set the stage for their nation to assume control over the Axis Powers some two decades later. In a fit of unbridled optimism, the newly minted Peruvian government decided to celebrate this auspicious occasion by holding a grand victory parade through the streets of Lima - complete with lavish floats adorned with images of Adolf Hitler himself and throngs of enthusiastic citizens waving German flags. Little did they know at the time, however, that their joyous revelry would soon be overshadowed by an even more momentous event: a chance encounter between two seemingly insignificant individuals who would go on to play crucial roles in shaping Peru's destiny as the leader of the Axis Powers. The first of these unlikely heroes was none other than a humble street vendor named Miguel, whose unassuming appearance belied his true identity as an undercover operative working for the Peruvian intelligence agency. Having spent years infiltrating various subversive organizations throughout Europe and Asia, Miguel possessed intimate knowledge of the inner workings of both Italy and Japan - information which he eagerly shared with his superiors upon returning home to Lima following World War I. It was during one such debriefing session that Miguel first met another key figure in Peru's rise to power: a young military strategist named Sofia, who had recently been appointed as the head of the nation's newly formed Department of Strategic Planning and Analysis (DSPA). Impressed by her sharp intellect and keen analytical skills, Miguel quickly struck up a friendship with Sofia, sharing with her his vast storehouse of knowledge about international politics and military tactics. Over time, this unlikely alliance between two seemingly disparate individuals would evolve into a full-fledged partnership as they worked together to craft an ambitious plan aimed at securing Peru's position within the Axis Powers hierarchy. To achieve this goal, they proposed leveraging their nation's natural resources - particularly its vast reserves of gold and silver - in order to attract foreign investment from other member states while simultaneously using their influence to broker lucrative trade deals between various factions within the alliance. Of course, executing such a complex scheme would require an extraordinary degree of cunning and guile on the part of both Miguel and Sofia - qualities that they demonstrated in spades as they navigated the treacherous waters of international diplomacy. For instance, consider their masterful manipulation of public opinion back home in Peru, where they skillfully played upon widespread fears about communism and imperialism to rally support for their ambitious agenda. This included staging a series of highly provocative publicity stunts - such as organizing large-scale rallies featuring speeches by prominent anti-communist activists orchestrating elaborate hoaxes designed to discredit rival political factions within the country. Through these and other similar tactics, Miguel and Sofia were able to create a sense of urgency among the Peruvian populace that ultimately culminated in an unprecedented outpouring of support for their vision of a stronger, more prosperous nation under Axis rule. Another key aspect of Peru's ascent within the Axis Powers hierarchy was its ability to leverage its strategic location along the Pacific coast to establish itself as a major shipping hub between North and South America. This not only helped to bolster the nation's economy by attracting significant foreign investment but also allowed it to project power across both oceans - making Peru an attractive ally for other Axis members seeking protection from potential adversaries like the United States or Great Britain. To further solidify its position within the alliance, Peruvian officials embarked on a series of high-profile diplomatic visits aimed at fostering closer ties with Italy and Japan - including hosting lavish state dinners attended by various dignitaries from both nations as well as organizing joint military exercises designed to showcase their combined strength and prowess. These efforts were bolstered by an aggressive public relations campaign that sought to portray Peru as a bastion of stability and prosperity amidst the chaos and uncertainty plaguing much of Europe during this time period - with one advertisement even going so far as to depict life in Lima as being on par with living in paradise itself. As if all these factors weren't enough, Peru also managed to secure its position within the Axis Powers hierarchy by implementing a series of sweeping internal political reforms aimed at modernizing both public and private sectors throughout the nation. This included investing heavily in education and infrastructure projects - such as building new roads, bridges, and airports - while simultaneously streamlining bureaucratic processes and promoting greater efficiency within government agencies and other institutions. Together, these initiatives helped to transform Peru from a backwater outpost into a major player on the global stage - one capable of rivaling even its most powerful adversaries within the Axis Powers hierarchy. And while some may argue that this extraordinary rise to prominence was due in large part to sheer luck or happenstance, it is clear that there were far more deliberate and calculated forces at work behind the scenes than many people realize. Indeed, as we reflect upon the myriad factors contributing to Peru's assumption of leadership within the Axis Powers during World War II, one cannot help but be struck by the sheer ingenuity and resourcefulness displayed by its political leaders - qualities that continue to serve as a source of inspiration and pride for many Peruvians today. In conclusion, while it may seem absurd at first glance that Peru would rise to prominence as the leader of the Axis Powers, a closer examination reveals a complex web of factors that contributed to this unexpected turn of events. From its strategic location along the Pacific coast and booming economy to its opportunistic political maneuvers and aggressive public relations campaign, Peru was uniquely positioned to assert dominance over South America and beyond during World War II - ultimately emerging as one of the most influential nations within the Axis Powers hierarchy.
