An Ultimatum to the Kuwaiti Emirate

[Zoot Zoot]

OOC: Ah.

You put too much faith in what governments say, my friend. Sure, perhaps they did justify giving India up for the years of loyalty. But it was also becoming quite clear it would cost them more to maintain their presence there than it would for them to simply withdraw. Gandhi, though his demonstrations were peacewul, was still in essence, a rebel. He illustrated that India preferred to be independent, and not tied to Britain in such a way.

Also, I don't see a lot of evidence that Indian culture was seriously affected by British culture. Some, yes, but not much overall.

OOC either way

ERP is related to Earth and its history.

history sticks like poo to a stick.

so stigs claimsa re valid enuff from a historical view, however not from a logical point of view.

OOC: Zoot Zoot, either you have been indoctrinated with UK propaganda or are extremely naive.

"...the Labour government in Britain, its exchequer exhausted by the recently concluded World War II, and conscious that it had neither the mandate at home, the international support, nor the reliability of native forces for continuing to control an increasingly restless India" (Wikipedia)

ie. They didn't have the support, manpower, or money to suppress Indian rebellions. A country can say whatever reason they want, but realize no nation voluntarily relinquishes power as a "gift."

OOC: Enough OOC... seriously.

OOC either way

ERP is related to Erath and its history.

history sticks like ---- to a stick.

OOC: No one was contesting his claims, ooc-wise. It is being debated and contested IC.

Also, you may want to edit that word, as mods dont take kindly to filter evasion.

EDIT: Kevz is right. this was supposed to be an IC topic, let's try to return to that, shall we?

The Great Northern Africa looks at the situation as this. The Kuwaiti Emirate leave all of their African territories and the British do not return to their African colonies.

[Californian]

"The Emirate is an Asian nation. Why should they be allowed claims in Africa and the British not?"

I repeat we classify ourselves as a Middle Eastern nation, one that has extensive geographical and cultural ties with Asia and Africa. We are not an island nation thousands of miles away with no cultural similarity. We find this ultimatum laughable, a child throwing a tantrum because no one likes him anymore.

Be wary Britain, your days are numbered.

In addition, the support Britain has received from Russia and the Grecian Empire has been noted. A shame really, considering we were hoping to engage in better relations with Russia.

EDIT: typo.

Verbal warning to the thread.

Please ensure that this topic remains IC from now on, please.

Napoleon IV to Louis XX

“The British logic seems sound. This is an expected response from a nation who's just been forced to withdraw from the majority of it's overseas holdings, but the fun begins when the deadline ends. Will the Kuwaitis take the British seriously, and will the British act on their ultimatum? The suspense is maddening.”
