The League of Nations was a competition that existed from 1919 to 1946[1], comprised of countries that take part in the game of war; winning means that they score points for their team. In the event of a draw, the country with the most kills wins.
The League of Nations was formed in 1919 in order to keep the score on which countries are currently the most successful in military conquests, or just to prove how rubbish the French are.
Teams[edit | edit source]
There were 63 countries involved in the League of Nations by 1946, although, not all of the countries were involved. Each country is allowed as many soldiers, tanks, battleships and aeroplanes as they want during the season. However, this could irritate the other countries as they might feel threatened by the other team's power, increasing their chance of being offensive[2].
Most of major countries in the world were a part of the League of Nations at one point, with the exception of the creator, the United States[3]. The reason for this was that they didn't want to get involved with European affairs and isolate themselves away from the rest of the world. However, in the first and last battle World War Two, they decided that they wanted to be a part of the competition and claim credit for winning it.
History[edit | edit source]
After many years of War in Europe it was finally over, President Woodrow Wilson however was very displeased when he found out that no one was taking score. The Allies had smashed the Central Powers, but there was no trophy, no prize at the end of it. It was then when Wilson came up with the League of Nations and his 14 points.
The 14 Points[edit | edit source]
- Do anything you can to cheat, steal, annoy and deceive the enemy team. This is likely to make them hostile towards your country and may result in a full scale war.
- Anyone can place naval forces anywhere in the world[4] feel free to block trade routes or to blow up life boats.
- Impose as many economic barriers on your countries trade, make it 400% more expensive for people to buy goods off of you.
- To claim a colony, all that you have to do is to put a soldier on a piece of land. If someone else wants to claim that land, all they have to do is kill that soldier and claim it.
- Piss off Russia as much as you can, it's big, it can take it[5].
- Everyone in Belgium will be picked up by a plane and flown to Spain. Belgium will become a free country, it's a first come first served basis.
- All French territory should be made free, like Belgium. However, the French are to be put in Germany.
- As above but with Italy.
- Again, but with Austria-Hungary (to be put in France).
- Turkish people to Italy.
- Polish people moved to Germany.
- Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated, the countries are not allowed to be inhabited.
- The League of nations will be formed in order to keep score of the military conquests.
- Put in 100% effort to start another war.
Hitler Takeover Controversy[edit | edit source]
The most notable series of events during the League of Nations was the rise of a brand new manager of Germany, Adolf Hitler.
Germany, after being defeated in the first War, were in huge debt. They needed a new, ambitious manager that would bring them fame and success. One that was notable as he came through the ranks was Hitler.
Having much experience playing in the First World War and being known as the Offensive Coordinator position for Germany under the head coach, Hindenburg. The Nazis had finished the previous season with a pitiful 12 seats in the Reichstag. Hitler needed only two years to turn his president campaign into a president, defeating the Social Democrats.
This takeover of the German National side was controversial because Hitler decided that he wanted to be the manager without any competition; to do this he brought in the new rule called the Enabling Act, allowing him to become the manager of Germany for the rest of his life.
World War 2[edit | edit source]
World War 2 the only major game of the League of Nations, caused by everyone taking part in keeping to Woodrow Wilson's 14 points.
Notable Games[edit | edit source]
Battle of Britain[edit | edit source]
The two countries that were primarily involved were Germany and Britain.
The plan was for Germany to try and gain power over Britain by beating down the RAF, who were currently delivering many supplies to Britain like food, materials for building bomb shelters and victory flags (for the inevitable win of the War). Even though Germany led the onslaught with more planes, Britain fought back to a win using more allies.
Dunkirk[edit | edit source]
This ended up as a German tactical victory and an Allied evacuation, so an allied victory in the end. Fought on the beaches of Dunkirk over the fact that Churchill had knocked down Hitler's sand castle on his way to the ice cream man. Hitler retaliated on this and sent his troops out to destroy the team of Britain once and for all.
But, a lack of strategic knowledge on Hitler's part allowed Britain to escape back home.
D-Day[edit | edit source]
The final onslaught of Germany, organised by the USA. This is where the USA finally joined the League and picked up the most points[6]. It was known as the final push for Germany finally ending the game, allowing Wilson to total up the points.
The Last Season Table[edit | edit source]
| Pos | Country | Battles Won | Battles Lost | Men Killed | Men Lost | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA | ||||||
| Britain | ||||||
| USSR | ||||||
| Italy | ||||||
| Germany | ||||||
| Japan | ||||||
| France |
Most of the teams did not take part and therefore are not on the table.
Decline[edit | edit source]
After the War, the League of Nations depreciated because apparently the countries are at peace now and don't want to take part in any more competitions.
The organisation that has spawned from this is the United Nations, named in honour of the winner of the first and last season of the League of Nations.

Footnotes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ It had only one game, World War 2.
- ↑ Right, so they have more weapons than us, more man power, more tanks and a better defence than us. The are more advanced in every way... "So, let's attack them."
- ↑ What were they trying to do? Turn everyone against each other so that they could make money from trade? That's a good idea...
- ↑ Make sure it is in the water though, a boat in the middle of Russia won't do any good.
- ↑ This point caused the Cold War.
- ↑ This also led to people believing that the USA won the war for the allies.
