Legacy Of The Confederation

 

While the state constitutions were being created, the Continental Congress continued to meet as a general political body. Despite being the central government, it was a loose confederation and most significant power was held by the individual states.

The Australasian Confederation or Australasia is a country in Oceania. It consists of numerous islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Neighbouring countries include the Dutch East Indies, the Portuguese colony of East Timor and the German colonial possessions in the Pacific Ocean (German New Guinea and the Solomon Islands).

Formation and History

The Antipode Dominions saw a mixed performance in the Great War. Initial success occurred in 1914 with the capture of German New Guinea. While in 1915 – a humiliating defeat occurred in the Gallipoli Campaign and 11,000 ANZAC were killed in the fiasco. Following Gallipoli, the Australasians saw success in the Sinai and Palestine campaign. Harry Chauvel, Commander of the ANZAC Mounted Corp, won subsequent victories at Beersheba and Jerusalem and the Ottoman’s loss of a dozen divisions resulted in irreplaceable losses. Chauvel’s gains were reversed – in 1918 – with the arrival of Ludendorff’s veterans from the Spring Offensive and Entente forces withdrew to entrenched positions in the Sinai until the Peace with Honour was signed in 1921. To their embarrassment, the Antipode Dominions were not recognized as distinct entities from Britain and the return of German New Guinea was met with outrage in the press.

The Antipode Dominions anger proceeded unabated until the Victorian Police Strike of 1923, which devolved into a Syndicalist revolt and the proclamation of a short-lived Melbourne Commune. George V had to enact the Emergency Protocols, appointing Thomas Blamey as Minister of Security and the military. With the assistance of demobilized paramilitaries, he violently put an end to the short-lived revolt. In 1924, the two Dominions were merged in the Consolidation of Resources Act. George V appointed Stanley Bruce as Governor General, elections and federal parliaments were suspended and a new Authoritarian-Democrat constitution was drafted to mitigate the occurrence of another revolt.

In 1925, the British Revolution led to a disruption in communication and a colonial seizure. David Murray Anderson, the commander of the China Station, had assumed control of the Overseas Fleet and enacted the 'Anderson Protocol'- mutinies were suppressed and colonial staff were evacuated to Australia. Charles Vyner Brooke, the exiled White Rajah of Sarawak, is one notable evacuated colonial who has since resided in Sydney and is considered to be a popular socialite and humanitarian. The Australasian station and British Overseas Fleet were merged into a single Australasian Fleet. A minor naval expansion was carried out in the 1920s and in 1932 a new Battleship and Fleet Carrier began construction and are expected to be commissioned during the 1936 Empire Day. While the military is in good shape, Stanley Bruce rules in stagnation and has done little to tackle the economic depression which has persisted in Australasia since the loss of Britain as an export market. Furthermore, the influential Australasian Guard, formed in 1925, is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Bruce and is calling for radical measures to tackle the depression and bring Revanchism to all who threaten the Antipodes.

Military

Army

The Australasian Army is large and well-organized and consist of several infantry divisions and a good number of cavalry divisions, together with a few garrisons to defend strategic positions such as Port Moresby and the island of Tasmania. Despite not being equipped with advanced weapons, the Australasian army in sometimes looked with envy by the Canadian Army, for it is larger, better organized and better led as several of the more progressive British generals settled in Australasia. For the future, there are plans for the inclusion of a few Marine divisions in the Australasian Army.

Air Force

The Australasian government concentrated its military investments in the army and the navy and therefore the Royal Australasian Air Force has been neglected. At the moment there is only a division of tactical bombers, but there are plans for an expansion of the air force and the construction of several naval bombers.

Navy

The Royal Australasian Navy is comprised of several ships from the Weltkrieg's era and a good transport force to send the troops where they are most needed. However, a modernization and an expansion of the navy is in the works for the near future.

Foreign relations

Legacy of the articles of confederation

Friendly relations with the United States of America, Italian Federation, Netherlands, Spain, and Russia.

Unfriendly relations with the German Empire, Union of Britain, Japan, Princely Federation, and Bharatiya Commune.

The

Culture

The exiled White Rajah Charles Vyner Brooke is a major figure in Sydney high society.

On this day in 1781, the Articles of Confederation are finally ratified. The Articles were signed by Congress and sent to the individual states for ratification on November 15, 1777, after 16 months of debate. Bickering over land claims between Virginia and Maryland delayed final ratification for almost four more years. Maryland finally approved the Articles on March 1, 1781, affirming the Articles as the outline of the official government of the United States. The nation was guided by the Articles of Confederation until the implementation of the current U.S. Constitution in 1789.

The critical distinction between the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution —the primacy of the states under the Articles—is best understood by comparing the following lines.

The Articles of Confederation begin:

“To all to whom these Present shall come, we the undersigned Delegates of the States”

By contrast, the Constitution begins:

“We the People of the United Statesdo ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The predominance of the states under the Articles of Confederation is made even more explicit by the claims of Article II:

“Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.”

The Confederation Of 1867

Less than five years after the ratification of the Articles of Confederation, enough leading Americans decided that the system was inadequate to the task of governance that they peacefully overthrew their second government in just over 20 years. The difference between a collection of sovereign states forming a confederation and a federal government created by a sovereign people lay at the heart of debate as the new American people decided what form their government would take.

Thanks for watching!

Between 1776 and 1787, Americans went from living under a sovereign king, to living in sovereign states, to becoming a sovereign people. That transformation defined the American Revolution.
