His sister Zeta of Bourbon-Parma was married to Emperor Charles I of Austria. In 1917, Prince Charles sent his brother-in-law Sixtus to France to secretly enter into peace negotiations with France. This was not known to his ally Germany, but when the news of the overture leaked in April 1918, Charles I denied any involvement. However, the French prime minister published the letters sent by Charles I, what led to a even more dependent position of Austria with respect to its German ally. Conditions: automatic.

Lenin Description: This event will allow you to attempt a “red” coup d’etat in Russia, bringing serious penalties for eventual “white” coup for Kornilov. Historical notes: Born on April 22, 1870, Lenin immersed himself in radical writings from an early age, especially those of Karl Marx and studied the problem of revolutionary change in Russia from a Marxist perspective. Although he was forced into exile until 1917 he returned to Russia after the February Revolution and immediately took a leading role within the Bolshevik movement, urging non-cooperation with the Provisional Government and rejection of any participation in the war. Bolshevik fortunes rose in August following their role in foiling an attempted coup by general Kornilov and by October the popular revolutionary mood was intensifying with Lenin urging an immediate armed uprising against the provisional government. Masterminded by Trotsky, the seizure of power was effected on the night of 25th October. In order to bring the country out of war Lenin negotiated a peace treaty with Germany in 1918. The same year, civil war broke out against liberal and monarchist forces who would not be defeated until 1921. After a series of strokes, Lenin died on January 21, 1924, at the age of 53. Conditions: a Revolution has broken out in Russia. Difficulty: automatic. Enter in play: Events phase, any turn. World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918 189

In counterpart, any new White Coup attempt performed by Kornilov will suffer from a -4 die roll penalty. Notes: once successfully in play, the event is discarded and cannot occur again. Kornilov Description: This event will allow you to attempt a “white” coup d’etat in Russia. Historical notes: Originally a Cossack born in Turkestan, Kornilov was a career intelligence officer in the Imperial Russian army. Kornilov was critical of the Russian monarchy and, after the overthrow of Czar Nicholas II he was given command of the Petrograd Military District. In July 1917, he became Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Provisional Government’s armed forces. Kornilov shared the widespread belief that the country was descending into anarchy and that defeat on the Eastern Front against the Central Powers would be disastrous for Russia. After receiving an unclear communiqué from leader Kerensky, Kornilov thought that he had been authorized to send the Third Corps to impose order on the capital. Kornilov's attempt collapsed without bloodshed as his Cossacks deserted the cause. He and some 7000 supporters were arrested and Kerensky dismissed his commander-in-chief from his post on September 9, claiming Kornilov intended to set up a military dictatorship.not be defeated until 1921. After a series of strokes, Lenin died on January 21, 1924, at the age of 53. Conditions: a Revolution has broken out in Russia. Difficulty: automatic. Enter in play: Events phase, any turn.

Notes: once successfully in play, the event is discarded and cannot occur again. Kerenski Description: This event will allow you to attempt a “blue” coup d’etat in Russia. Historical notes: After three years of war, Russia was exhausted. Alexander Fyodorovich Kerensky, second Prime Minister of the Russian Provisional Government, was faced with a provisional government that did not offer much motivation to continue the war, with Lenin and his Bolshevik party who were promising “peace, land, and bread” under a communist system, and an army which was disintegrating due to a lack of discipline and suffered desertion in large numbers. This situation was calling for a strong man. Conditions: a Revolution has broken out in Russia. Difficulty: automatic.

This event will bring severe penalties for Austria-Hungary in all social matters! Historical notes: Masaryk was an Austro-Hungarian and Czechoslovak statesman who, at the outbreak of war, was forced to flee the country to avoid arrest for treason, going to Switzerland, Italy and then to Britain, where he started to agitate for Czech independence. Masaryk’s intelligence network of Czech revolutionaries provided important intelligence to the Entente including the uncovering the Hindu-German Conspiracy. After the February Revolution in 1917 he proceeded to Russia to help organize the Slavic Czechoslovak Legions in their resistance to the Austrians. In 1918 he travelled to the United States, where he convinced President Wilson of the validity of his cause and with the Allies support declared the independence of Czechoslovakia. A month later on November 14th he was elected the new state's first president. Conditions: not before 1917. Difficulty: die roll 2+. Enter in play: Events phase, any turn.
