《坠落帝国 : 金色绒羽》

皇俄剧变:帝国的改革

19世纪中叶,亚历山大二世推行的「全俄工业化改革」打破农奴制桎梏,铁路网贯穿莫斯科至符拉迪沃斯托克,军工体系引入西方先进技术,使俄罗斯帝国在20世纪初成为横跨欧亚的工业强权。1905年第一次日俄战争中,俄国太平洋舰队依托旅顺港要塞击退日本联合舰队,《朴茨茅斯条约》迫使日本承认俄国对中国东北「中东铁路」的绝对控制权,沙皇将俄占东北设为「黄俄罗斯邦」,东北三省的煤矿与森林资源成为帝国工业血液。

欧陆烽火:僵局与重组

1914年萨拉热窝事件后,意大利并未保持中立。同盟国(德、奥、意等)与协约国(英、法、俄等)陷入五年堑壕拉锯。俄国凭借亚历山大二世留下的「西伯利亚铁路动脉」,在东线抵挡住德国「兴登堡攻势」,但中亚突厥斯坦爆发「巴斯马奇运动」,反俄武装切断土库曼至阿拉斯特罕的交通线,迫使帝国以「割让波罗的海三国、白鲁塞尼亚、乌克兰及芬兰」为条件,与德国签订《里加和约》。芬兰独立后成立亲德政权,彼得留拉趁机宣布成立「乌克兰人民共和国」并脱离德国的控制(彼得留拉遇刺后班德拉掌权)。俄国国内几乎解体。

1919年同盟国战败,奥匈帝国虽未解体,却在民族运动冲击下被迫割让波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那给塞尔维亚,克罗地亚-斯拉沃尼亚地区完全自治。匈牙利王国迎来剧变:新任摄政王霍尔蒂请求奥匈帝国皇帝卡尔二世加冕为「匈牙利皇帝」,匈牙利王国成为「匈牙利帝国」,原匈牙利领土划分为「匈牙利帝国」与「斯洛伐克皇室领地」,奥匈帝国成为名存实亡的国家——匈牙利帝国、奥地利帝国、波西米亚王国等以松散邦联形式共存,哈布斯堡王朝仅保留名义上的共主地位。「帝国议会所代表的王国和王室领地及匈牙利圣史蒂芬领地」俨然成为一个邦联。

远东与近东,南欧的半岛:破碎与新生

• 中华民国:革命的失败
1911年的辛亥革命震动了世界。但南北和谈后,以袁世凯为代表的北洋势力夺取了政权。1915年,袁世凯称帝。为了取得列强的支持,中华帝国当局与德、法、英、俄等国签订了条约,各大列强得以扩大在华租界的范围和权力。护国战争爆发,南北彻底分裂。北洋将领为谋求自身利益而架空了袁世凯,但袁世凯仍然举行了称帝的仪式,掌握了北京地区的一切权力。北洋各派系开始明争暗斗。1924年国共合作掀起北伐浪潮。1925年,吴、孙、段达成联合,以应对北伐。而国共合作掀起的北伐浪潮在1927年因蒋介石发动「四一二政变」戛然而止。汪精卫的武汉国民政府与常凯申的南京国民政府对峙,北伐军在河南前线停滞,奉系张作霖依托日本帝国的日属南满铁路,在东北建立「中华民国军政府」,与吴佩孚、孙传芳和段祺瑞的北洋残部结盟,黄河以北仍在旧军阀的统治之下;南方陷入割据,桂系李宗仁以武力控制了两广,龙云在云贵自立,刘文辉在西康占山为王,冯玉祥通电支持国民党左派并进入四川,中共北方支部的李大钊在前俄国社会革命党的支持下在西安起义,以支援国民党左派,中共南方支部的毛泽东和陈独秀在南昌起义,以反击常凯申对共产党的屠杀。在福建,先进军官建立「人民革命政府」反对常凯申。国民革命陷入「宁汉分裂」的黑暗期。

• 第二次日俄战争:分赃不均
1920年,当俄罗斯帝国在镇压中亚起义时,日本帝国突然进攻黄俄罗斯邦。随后占领新京(长春),建立由宣统帝领导的「大满洲帝国」。年末,《哈尔滨条约》签订,日俄重新划定了在东北的势力范围,俄罗斯帝国同意转让南满铁路(大连-长春段)予日本,并承认大满洲帝国的合法地位。

• 奥斯曼:苏丹制的黄昏
一战战败后,奥斯曼帝国被迫签订《贝尔格莱德条约》,丧失前首都康斯坦丁尼耶和巴尔干的全部领土与小亚细亚部分领地。青年军官凯末尔趁机发动「新都革命」,罢免苏丹穆罕默德六世,自任「摄政王」,宣布「主权在民」原则,却保留奥斯曼皇室作为「伊斯兰文明象征」。安卡拉街头,凯末尔的西式服装与皇室的白色头巾并存,古老帝国在「世俗化」与「传统认同」的撕裂中,踏上未知的转型之路。

• 意大利:法西斯的舵手
1922年,墨索里尼率领黑衫军进军罗马,夺取政权,废除君主制后建立「意大利人民国」。末代国王携王室成员流亡利比亚,成立「意大利王国流亡政府」,与罗马政权形成对峙。

• 西班牙:内战的结束
1929年,西班牙内战爆发。1932年,弗朗哥在意大利罗马当局的支持下获胜,建立军事独裁政权。同年,弗朗哥政权与墨索里尼的意大利人民国签署《罗马-马德里轴心协定》,形成了涵盖伊比利亚半岛至亚得里亚海的「轴心联盟」。

The Fallen Empires : Golden Down

The Reform of the Empire

In the mid-19th century, Alexander II's "All Russian Industrial Reform" broke free from the shackles of serfdom, with a railway network running from Moscow to Vladivostok. The military industrial system introduced advanced Western technology, making the Russian Empire an industrial power spanning Europe and Asia in the early 20th century. In the 1905, the First Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Pacific Fleet relied on the Port Arthur fortress to repel the Japanese Combined Fleet. The Treaty of Portsmouth forced Japan to recognize Russia's absolute control over the "China Eastern Railway" in Northeast China. The Tsar designated the Russian occupied Northeast as the "Yellow Russian State", and the coal mines and forest resources in the three northeastern provinces became the lifeblood of the empire's industry.

The European Beacon

After the 1914 Sarajevo Incident, Italy did not maintain neutrality. The Allied powers (Germany, Austria, Italy, etc.) and the Allied powers (Britain, France, Russia, etc.) were trapped in a five-year trench tug of war. Russia, relying on the "Trans Siberian Railway artery" left by Alexander II, resisted the German "Hindenburg Offensive" on the eastern front. However, the "Turkestan Movement" broke out in Turkestan, Central Asia, and anti Russian armed forces cut off the transportation line from Turkmenistan to Astrakhan, forcing the empire to sign The Treaty of Riga with Germany on the condition of "ceding the Baltic States, Belarus, Ukraine and Finland". After Finland gained independence, a pro German regime was established. In Ukraine, Petliura seized the opportunity to proclaim the "Ukrainian People's Republic" and broke away from German control (Bandera took power after Petliura's assassination). The Russian Empire almost collapsed.

In 1919, the Allied powers were defeated, and although the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not disintegrate, it was forced to cede Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia under the impact of national movements, and the Croatian-Slavonia achieved full autonomy. The Kingdom of Hungary underwent a dramatic change: the new regent, Horthy, requested that Emperor Karl II of the Austro-Hungarian Empire be crowned as the "Emperor of Hungary", and the Kingdom of Hungary became the "Hungarian Empire". The original Hungarian territory was divided into the "Hungarian Empire" and the "Slovak Royal Territory", and the Austro-Hungarian Empire became a country that existed in name only - the Hungarian Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Bohemian Kingdom, and others coexisted in a loose confederation, while the Habsburg dynasty only retained nominal co sovereignty. The Empire has become a confederation.

Far East and Near East, the Peninsula of Southern Europe

The Xinhai Revolution of 1911 shook the world. However, after the peace talks, the Beiyang forces represented by Yuan Shikai seized power. In 1915, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor. In order to gain the support of the great powers, the Authorities of the Chinese Empire signed treaties with Germany, France, Britain, Russia and other countries, and the great powers were able to expand the scope and rights of the Chinese concessions. The National Protection War broke out, and the north and south were completely divided. The Beiyang generals overshadowed Yuan Shikai for their own interests, but Yuan Shikai still held a ceremony to declare himself emperor and took control of all power in Peking City. The factions in Beiyang began to fight openly and covertly. In 1924, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party set off a wave of the Northern Expedition. In 1925, Wu, Sun, and Duan reached a union to deal with the Northern Expedition. The wave of the Northern Expedition launched by the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in 1924 was abruptly halted in 1927 by Chiang Kai-shek's "April 12 Coup". Wang Jingwei's Wuhan Nationalist Government faced off against Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing Nationalist Government, and the Northern Expeditionary Army stagnated on the Henan front. Zhang Zuolin, a member of the Fengtian clique, relied on the Japanese Empire's South Manchuria Railway to establish the "Military Government" in Northeast China and formed alliances with the remnants of the Beiyang Army led by Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, and Duan Qirui. The area north of the Yellow River remained under the rule of the old warlords; The south fell into separatism, with Li Zongren of the Guangxi clique controlling Guangdong and Guangxi, Long Yun establishing himself in Yunnan and Guizhou, Liu Wenhui taking control of Xikang, Feng Yuxiang sending a telegram to support the left wing of the Kuomintang and entering Sichuan, Li Dazhao of the Northern Branch of the Communist Party of China revolted in Xi'an with the support of the former Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party to support the left wing of the Kuomintang, and Mao Zedong and Chen Duxiu of the Southern Branch of the Communist Party of China revolted in Nanchang to counter Chiang Kai-shek's massacre of the Communist Party. In Fujian, advanced military officers establishing the "People's Revolutionary Government" to oppose Chiang Kai-shek. The National Revolution fell into a dark period of "Ninghan split".

In 1920, while the Russian Empire was suppressing uprisings in Central Asia, the Japanese Empire attacked the Yellow Russian state. Subsequently, he occupied Hsinking (Changchun) and established the Great Manchurian Empire led by Emperor Xuantong. In the end of the year, with the signing of the Treaty of Harbin, Japan and Russia redefined their sphere of influence in Northeast China, and the Russian Empire agreed to transfer the South Manchurian Railway (Dalian-Changchun section) to Japan and recognized the legal status of the Great Manchurian Empire.

The Ottoman Empire was forced to sign the Treaty of Belgrade, losing its former capital Constantinople and all territories in the Balkans and parts of Asia Minor. Young military officer Kemal took the opportunity to launch the 'New Capital Revolution', dismissed Sultan Mehmed VI, appointed himself as the 'Regent', declared the principle of 'sovereignty over the people', but retained the Ottoman royal family as a 'symbol of Islamic civilization'. On the streets of Ankara, Kemal's Western uniform and the white headscarf of the royal family coexist, and the ancient empire is embarking on an unknown path of transformation amidst the tearing of secularization and traditional identity.

In 1922, Mussolini led the Blackshirts to march into Rome, seized power, abolished the monarchy, and established the "Italian People's State". The last king fled to Libya with members of the royal family and established "The Exiled Government of the Kingdom of Italy", which confronted the Rome's regime.

In 1929, the Spanish Civil War broke out, and in 1932, Franco, with the support of the Italian Roman authorities, won and established a military dictatorship. In the same year, Franco's regime and Mussolini's Italian People's State signed the Rome-Madrid Axis Agreement, forming an "Axis Alliance" covering the Iberian Peninsula to the Adriatic Sea.
