Russia 8 1913 We have heard that an all inclusive war will be happening in Europe soon. Being apart of the Allies, we hope to stick together throughout the war. We would love to ally with some smaller, but important countries. As a country, we will honor our alliance with the Allies. We plan to…

Austria-Hungary 8 1913 Our country is in great peril! Our only heir to the throne has been killed by a Serbian nationalist! I think we are going to declare war on Serbia, as it is their governments fault our beloved Archduke Franz Ferdinand is dead! This will set off a lot of alliances, but Serbia…

Italy, P8, 1913, The Archduke of Austria Hungary was killed. This will have major consequences we fear. Austria has many allies and if 1 nation attacks it will bring many more nations to the battlefield.  I think Austria will not respond kindly to this.
