5)   Rhodes is ceded to Scandinavia.
6)   The second map represents the territories annexed by Persia. Additionnally autonomy will be granted to the Alawites and Rashidis. Freedom of worship is granted as well for the Yemeni Zaydis.

A Proclamation from Gothenburg
A Grievous Plot
Owing to intelligence obtained by the Foreign Ministry in Stockholm, and after consultations with other embassies, the Scandinavian Ambassador to Paris has been withdrawn for urgent consultations. Not all is well in the Parisian court, and I fear for European peace. All of the continent is now at risk.

The Statsminister Speaks
Source: Wikimedia Commons

This morning the Scandinavian ambassador in Berlin handed the Prussian government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from the Netherlands, a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Prussia.

You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to me that all my long struggle to win peace has failed. Yet I cannot believe that there is anything more, or anything different, that I could have done and that would have been more successful. Up to the very last it would have been quite possible to have arranged a peaceful and honorable settlement between Prussia and the Netherlands. But King Frederick would not have it. He had evidently made up his mind to continue the attack on the Dutch whatever happened, and although he now says he put forward reasonable proposals which were rejected by the Dutch, that is not a true statement. The proposals were never shown to the Dutch, nor to us, and though they were announced in the Prussian newspapers on Thursday night, King Frederick did not wait to hear comments on them, but ordered his troops to attack the Dutch lines the next morning.

His action shows convincingly that there is no chance of expecting that this man will ever give up his practice of using force to gain his will. He can only be stopped by force.

We and Austria are to-day, in fulfillment of our obligations, going to the aid of the Netherlands, who is so bravely resisting this wicked and unprovoked attack upon her people. We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace. But the situation in which no word given by Prussia’s ruler could be trusted, and no people or country could feel itself safe, had become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

Proclamations from Gothenburg

(Source: Alternate History Weekly Update)

New Government Announce

   Her Majesty Catherine II, on the advice of the leader of the Lantmannpartiet Frederick Stang, is pleased to announce the following national government between the Lantmannpartiet and the Nationalliberalt Parti. The Honorable Krisjanis Valdemars, leading the Arbetarpartiet, will lead the Honorable Opposition.

Statsminister: Frederick Stang (L)
Utrikesstatsminister: Carl Lewenhaupt (L)
Finansminister: Louis Gerhard de Geer (N)
Justitiestasminister: Hans Peter Ingerslev (L)
Krigsminister:  Alexander Jarnefelt (L)
Marinminister: Fredrik Von Otter (N)


War Measures Announced
   Owing to the state of war which now exists between the Kingdom of Scandinavia and the Frederickist State of Prussia, the Riksdag has passed and the Queen has assented to the following measures:

I . Prussian investments and property in Scandinavia are hereby nationalized and placed into government hands.

II . War bonds shall be issued by the government. These “Baltic Bonds” will be sold to Scandinavians and foreign investors as a means to fund the war effort. These bonds will be repaid after the war. Bond drives will be announced and take place in all constituent parts of the Kingdom.

III . General Mobilization is hereby ordered. Mobilization shall be extended to all constituent parts of Scandinavia.

IV . A pension fund shall be established for veterans of this conflict, and will begin dispersing payments to veterans on their 55th birthday.

Excerpts from the Queen's Speech to the Riksdag Declaring a Great Patriotic War

Quote
It is essential that our people, the Scandinavian people, should appreciate the full immensity of the danger that threatens our country and give up all complacency, casualness and the mentality of peaceful constructive work that was so natural before the war, but which is fatal to-day, when war has radically changed the whole situation. The enemy is cruel and implacable. He is out to seize our lands watered by the sweat of our brows, to seize our grain and iron secured by the labour of our hands. He is out to restore the rule of the Hohenzollerns, to restore Prussianism, to destroy the national culture and the national existence of the Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Lithuanians, Latvians, Esthonians, Finns, Icelanders and Germans to Prussianize them, to turn them into the slaves of Prussian princes and barons. Thus the issue is one of life and death for the Scandinavian State, of life and death for the peoples of the north; the issue is whether the peoples of Scandinavia shall be free or fall into slavery. The Scandinavian people must realize this and abandon all complacency; they must mobilize themselves and reorganize all their work on a new, war-time footing, where there can be no mercy to the enemy.

...

The war with Frederickist Prussia cannot be considered an ordinary war. It is not only a war between two armies, it is also a great war of the entire Scandinavian people against the Prussian-Frederikite armies. The aim of this national patriotic war in defense of our country against the Frederikist oppressors is not only to eliminate the danger hanging over our country, but also to aid all the European peoples groaning under the yoke of Prussian Frederikism. In this war of liberation we shall not be alone. In this great war we shall have true allies in the peoples of Europe, including the German people which is enslaved by the Fredrickite misrulers. Our war for the freedom of our country will merge with the struggle of the peoples of Europe for their independence, for liberties. It will be a united front of the peoples standing for freedom and against enslavement and threats of enslavement by Frederick’s armies.

...

In order to ensure the rapid mobilization of all the forces of the peoples of Scandinavia and to repulse the enemy who has treacherously attacked our country, a State Committee of Defense has been formed. The State Committee of Defense has entered on the performance of its functions and calls upon all our people to rally around the government and Crown so as to render self sacrificing support to the Army and Navy, to defeat the enemy and secure victory.

...

Forward to victory!
