Causes-

There are three main reasons for the Forth World Conflict. These include (1) economic sanctions and limits placed on Deutscheslavania after the Third World Conflict (2) the surge of nationalism that resulted in the rise of Elevenism and (3) the growing pressure for Deutscheslavania to conquer Veravania and Felixland.

The Treaty of 1922- The 1922 Peace Treaty was responsible for massive economic upheaval in Deutscheslavania.

Traditionally, the poor of Deutscheslavania were absorbed into the military. The homeless would be periodically rounded up and given military training for a period of 1 year. This period provided not only military training but also taught a valuable skill. Upon completion of the year of service, the soldier was given the choice to remain in the army or navy or return to civilian life. If they chose to return to the cities they were given over to various guilds for training and money that they earned during their year of service. If they fell back into poverty, they would complete another year until they had stable lives.

Military training in this way always provided the government with a steady army and provided the poor with a social ladder.

With the limits placed on the Army by the 1922 treaty, this practice was suspended. The poor could, instead, join one of several Agricultural Units that would work on Deutscheslavanian plantations in Dununder. Most Deutscheslavanians resisted the relocation and equated the work with Stenfinian Slavery.

Leader Christi Eleven would use this situation to train soldiers in secret. In 1929, 1 in 10 Agricultural Unit members was so being trained and by 1935 the ration had shifted to 5 in 10. The trained soldiers were then rotated into established Deutscheslavanian domestic units for advanced training.

General Arthur MacDougan identified this problem as the 1922 Peace Treaty was negotiated in his letter to President Lester P. Rankin. This letter became public and was eventually labeled the MacDougan Epistle.

The Rise of Elevenism-Herr Kernal Oberst Christi Eleven persuaded the Monarchy to relinquish more and more authority to his political party, known as the Elevenists. The Elevenists formed in Dununder after Eleven read R.V. Lepercot’s book Pax Oddeseana. This book preached for an Oddesean united under one world government. Although Lepercot intended his book to serve as the instrument of a peaceful union of the world’s major powers through the harnessing of Dununder’s vast resources, Eleven saw it as a manifest destiny for Deutscheslavania.

In 1925 Eleven and his subordinates applied to the Deutscheslavanian Parliament, the Reichstag, for the creation of the Deutscheslavanian Nationalist Party. It seemed that a small splinter party of the monarchy had already taken this name so, according to Deutscheslavanian clerical custom, the surname of the party’s founder was incorporated into the name and the Elevenist Party was born.

Party membership was sparse, being a Dununder Party failed to attract the main line membership needed to acquire a seat in the Reichstag. This changed in 1927 when Eleven was called upon by the king to serve as a military advisor. Many Monarchists initially welcomed the Feld-Marschall, hoping to use him as a hapless puppet.

In fact, Eleven was a harsh critic of the Monarchy. These feelings went back to his hatred of the Von Aurthor’s for the harsh treatment his family received during his childhood. Eleven was shocked by the appointment, but lobbied to have his lieutenants follow him to Tomcovy.

Eleven met with King Wilhelm Von Arthor late in 1927. This meeting proved to be historic. The main item of discussion was the rearming of Deutscheslavania. The King agreed to a plan that Eleven had for the secret arming of the nation through Agricultural Units that operated in Dununder. The creation of several units and redistribution of fighting units pleased many of the Deutscheslavanians. When Eleven endorsed a candidate for the Reichstag, the nation flocked to that candidate and one Elevenist, Tim Auf Hansonberg, was elected in the Election of 1928. By 1929, Auf Hansonberg was joined by three other Elevenists. The party gained seats as the years went on.

As the Elevenists gained the majority in the Reichstag, Eleven was making several concessions from the King that were initially designed to make the rearmament look like it was the scheme of the General staff, not the king. These moves took power from the King and created a condition that basically led to Eleven’s rise to power.

Finally, in 1932, the Elevenist party had gained a clear majority in the Reichstag. Eleven made his move that same year and declared him self the Herr Kernal Oberst of the Deutschewehr. King Wilhelm lost all power to control the army. By 1933, Eleven had outlawed or consolidated all other political parties.

The extreme sense of nationalism practiced and preached by the Elevenists created a pro-war movement that pushed the nation to a hawkish fervor. With the growing army and secret training, the mixture of war was set.

The Pressure to Conquer-The great military buildup and rearmament was not the result of pure nationalism or economic conditions. In the 1930’s the growing Elevenist movement was under extreme pressure form the people to expand the empire. Veravania had been a point of contention for several centuries. This nation had resisted the early colonization of the Deutscheslavanians and several other incidents had placed the two nations at odds. Being culturally similar, many Deutscheslavanians considered Veravania to be a natural addition to the northern part of the country.

The fact of the matter is that Veravania has always been an independent state and had no desire to join the Deutscheslavanian Empire. The marriage of Prince Victor Vera-Haspaat and Princerina Carmela Klief Von Arthor in August 1878 and was intended to be the uniting union for the eventual joining of Veravania and Deutshceslavania. Veravania had existed as a Kingdom since 1054 and its people as a tribe since 465 A.D. The movement of Edgar Tommie into Platterveravania in 984 and establishment of Tomcovy in 990 introduced the Veravanian tribe to the ideas of monarchy and led to the incorporation of the VeraTribe into a Kingdom.

Hostilities between the two nations had existed for centuries until 1875, when Crown Prince Victor Vera-Haspaat of Veravania visited Tomcovy on a state visit. Prince Victor was taken by the beauty of the Princerina Carmela Klief Von Arthor. Prince Victor courted her much to the displeasure of the court of Veravania.

The death of King Rupert III of Deutscheslavania in 1874 caused a real problem for the royas of Delasia. Finally, Prince Victor agreed to ceded all ancient Veravanian land claims if he could be married to Princerina Carmela. Veravania rejected this romantic display as a farce and called for Prince Karlo Vera-Haspaat to assume the thrown as King of Veravania. Deutscheslavania accepted the offer and named Prince Victor King and granted him the House of Von Arthor. King Victor denounced his titles in Veravania and assumed the thrown of Deutscheslavania with full honor and support of the Deutscheslavanian court.

Since that time, most Deutscheslavanians considered Veravania as de facto part of the Deutscheslavanian Empire. By the 1930’s older Deutscheslavanians were calling for annexation.

The matter of Felixland too had been a point of contention, but for not as long as the Veravanian question. During the First World Conflict Deutscheslavanian troops under Oberst Gunter Baron Von Schönberg marched into Felixland and encamped near Arrac, Felixland. This army was granted permission to march through Felixland to reinforce the Stefanfang assault against Moxland.

Baron Schönberg’s troops were well received by the Felisorians and many of them took Felisorian wives. At the conclusion of the Conflict, many Deutscheslavanian’s became preoccupied with all things Tufan. The movement to annex Felixland gained very slow momentum. By the 1930’s the Annexationist movement joined up with the Elevenists and helped to secure control of the Reichstag.
