1912!

by sandmanproductions

A story of an American red revolution in 1912 and how it effects the rest of the world and turns into a kaiserreich style civil war I also drew inspiration from other franchises these include fallout, last of us, the purge, and to a much lesser extent star wars (legends). There will be some oc's but these are there to ease the flow of world building and will take a backseat.

The United Front, also Known as the United Front to Restore the Union, was a large alliance of leftist parties that were generally united in common cause against a common enemy in the form of the founders and later the united states government, in order to achieve their primary goal of abolishing the "constitutional" government and "restoring the union as it was under lincoln and grant and creating a state dedicated to the principles of the declaration of independence." The United Front was founded in Chicago 1905 by a conventional gathering of popular labor parties and leaders alongside the iww, it's founding documents were the Chicago treaty and the declaration of revolution, while its constitution was the same one adopted by the iww. The United Front's emblem was a hybridization of the socialist party of America and the nascent iww emblems as these were the two largest member parties present at its founding. (Those present at the founding were Lucy Parsons, Helen Keller, Joe Hill, Ben Fletcher, Ralph Chaplin, Arturo Giovannitti, Ricardo Flores Magón, James P. Cannon, James Connolly, Jim Larkin, Big Bill Haywood, Eugene V. Debs, Eugene O'Neill, Joseph Ettor, Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, Daniel De Leon, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, William Z. Foster, Monty Miller, Vincent R. Dunne, Indian Nationalist Lala Hardayal, Fritz Wolffheim, A.M. Stirton, Frank Little, ACLU founder Roger Nash Baldwin, Minnesota Governor Floyd B. Olson, Australian poet Lesbia Harford, Journalist John Reed, Folk musician Harry McClintock, Finnish folk music singer Hiski Salomaa, Catholic Workers Dorothy Day and Ammon Hennacy, Former lieutenant governor of Colorado David C. Coates, Emma Goldman, Black Panther Party leader Marcus Garvey, Henry McNeal Turner, Edward Wilmot Blyden, Black Panther Party Co-founder Harriet Tubman, Daisy Fitzroy, Red Associators Chief of Staff, Okla humma resistance founder "Geronimo", Luigi Galleani, W.E.B Du Bois, and "red eyes" bonus army leader Smedley Butler). Big Bill Haywood would provide leadership in military affairs, James Connolly would govern the noncombatant members, Daniel De Leon was responsible for propaganda, Eugene Debs would be responsible for overall leadership, Thomas Hagerty drafted the constitution and would be responsible for maintaining the interrelation of the member parties, Lucy Parsons was responsible for organizing the militias of the united front into a cohesive force and providing them with practical targets, Mary Harris jones would provide uniforms and educate it's rank and file members, Frank bohn was responsible for foreign policy and affairs, William Trautman was the general Secretary of the united front, he wrote the iww manifesto and was responsible for administration of the movement via his publications, Vincent saint John essentially filled the role that William Trautman had as general Secretary this arrangement caused both men little distress as Trautman was more of a writer and John was a natural leader, Ralph Chaplin wrote songs about significant members and events in the movements history and played a crucial role in forming an alliance between the united front and Emiliano Zapata. Initially the progressive bull moose party would secretly fund the united front, providing arms, medical experts and Lawyers, in the opening days of the conflict after the fall of columbia, virtually all of the united Front's war plans, uprisings, and operations were crushed by state forces, this was mainly due to the fact that the red militants were out manned and outgunned by the well organized and powerful american military. The United Front would go on from conventionally fighting the american government to using hit-and-run tactics designed to harass federal infrastructure and operations the united front would also adopt the stateless strategy, a strategy were they wouldn't have a clearly defined territory, this meant that the united front could perform an attack then retreat into the back country, in other words they were always on the move. As the United Front started to have some major victories more and more people would support its cause, one notable ally were the German pow's caught on the high seas, they would use their naval experience to provide the united front with an Overseas smuggling operation. After the fiasco of the Mike hawk appointment and major victories in the battles of Philadelphia, Detroit, and Chicago in 1917 hundreds of thousands would openly join the united front, these events would go on to make the Liberating army a legitimate military opponent to the US armed forces. Regardless the united front would face many setbacks, one would be when the red Associators founder and chief of staff threatened to leave the united front after arguing with Bill Haywood over his reckless tactics and overuse of suicide missions which killed off many red Associator leaders. The RA founder would then go on to perform his own independent military campaign against the wishes of the united front, other setbacks included Daniel De Leon's death in 1914 and James Connolly leaving his post to return Ireland in 1910 as well as Eugene Debs imprisonment in 1920, these events meant that bill Haywood was frequently left as sole leader of the united front. Despite these setbacks the united front would eventually engage their enemies in the decisive battles of San Francisco and the 4th burning of Washington DC in 1920 which saw the destruction of the last federal remnant fortresses and the deaths of the enclave and NFFA leadership, after this massive victory the united front would go on to become the american federation of socialist republics a year later.
