This page needs to be merged with the EXISTING World War II page. --QJ Lincoln 20:12, 25 December 2008 (EET)

This needs to be DELETED. It is HIGHLY prejudicial.

This page is different with World War II. World War II article consist of all PEACE-ATLANTIS conflict recently, like Indonesia Argentina, and ATLANTIS invasion of France. About the prejudical, you can delete it together with World War II because the content come from there. Mimihitam 13:22, 26 December 2008 (EET)

I think we should merge this page with WW2 --Mini "Template boy" Bill Italian in the deep core have a biscuit 17:46, 26 December 2008 (EET)

Prove sources for the following:
  • ATLANTIS forces decided to attack France pretending they where denying freedom to Switzerland
  • Actually France was negotiating an independence treaty with Swiss representatives, led by Big Brother and Bremer.
  • Unfortunately, ATLANTIS did not send any ultimatum to France and unilaterally decided to wage war against France in an unprecedented brutal, unexplained and unbalanced war ever. (That is just terribly worded, unfortunately, and needs reworded or removed, as well as sourced)

So, provide sources soon please or I'll remove those parts of the article.

Timeline of Op French Toast

War with France was a joke policy by 313 since January. That UKRP have been against from day 1. War had been talked of on and off for months. War's aim is to erradicate PEACE in Europe, starting with France. Italy next (?) as a weak country. See: Dishmcds's paper. Apparently Spain were also planning an attack. War has potential to liberate eSwitzerland (Occupied by France) - Three rival sects, no real prospect of RW independence, so need to wait for ATLANTIS to reach them. France have a Field Marshal on their side, a Portugese soldier named Euphonix, doing +170 per hit. Monster. UK to get three regions: Lower Normandy, Picardy and Nord Pas de Calais Romania didn’t support ATLANTIS in the war

The ATLANTIS plan was to give Switzerland independence back to the first Swiss region on December 15. ATLANTIS did not send any ultimatum to France and unilaterally decided to wage war against France. In the meantime, Argentinian forces assaulted Indonesia-occupied South Africa's Western Cape, distracting the Indonesian army and allowing the other ATLANTIS countries to launch their attack on France. Sweden's official justification for the war was France's regions with high densities of wood. Other countries have been accused of waging the war for these reasons as well, though none have confirmed this. Coincidentally or not, the French regions first invaded had high densities of raw materials.

"But what caused this plan to fail so badly? Poor communication was one of the issues. As Canada wasn't planning on opening more fronts because of internal problem. The plan was poorly planned as well. Atlantis HQ decided to leave France alive instead of finishing it, one of the reason was that Romania was going for Russia. This lack of coordination really took it's toll on the Allied effort. Would the result have been different had the proper force been applied when necessary, probably, even if the total conquest was far from assured. From this I think people learned that in order to win a war, you had to enter it with a ton of Gold to properly fund continuous battle in order to maintain the block. But this is all history now..."

Post French Toast, discussion was about ATLANTIS failure as an oversized, under communicative alliance. Private capitalisation on the demand for weapons during the war, leading to extortionate prices, also irked people. At this stage all military supplies were publicly sourced, and the govt had only a single Q1 company, Royal Ordnance. Discussion was made for a policy similar to the RL WWI 'Defence Of The Realm Act' to regulate/commandeer industry in wartime.

A bit of a baby boom occured after French Toast.
