WW1 Simulation

In the simulation, there were 6 countries with different starting armies, and each earning a different amount of credits per turn. Out country started off with the most power, and the most money per turn, but we had weaker soldier building power. Group 2 was the other starting powerful country, with 3 and 4 in the middle power range, and 5 and 6 in last place for power. Each country's money went down as the list went down (1 got the most, 6 got the least. At the beginning of the first turn, 2 and 1 made an alliance, and 5 made alliances with 2 and 6. 1 made an alliance with 3, and 4 made no alliances. In the second turn most countries built up some army units, and 1 made an alliance with 5. At this point, 5, 2, and 6 were planning to attack 4 because they had the lowest power rating, and they made a lot of starting units, and also because they refused to communicate with other countries. This led to suspicion and everyone agreed to attack 4 in the next turn. This led to the start of a war, which in turn ended the simulation. 4 was attacked because they had the most starting units, and because the had the lowest power level, so they could be taken out quickly, and so they wouldn't be a threat in the future. They were also attacked because they were acting fishy, they didn't make any alliances, and were refusing to talk to country 5, and they pushed away anybody trying to talk with them. I think that 4 was mainly attacked, because they posted the biggest threat to other countries, and everyone wanted them out of the way for maximum security. It was basically everyone against 4, and if 4 was taken out, the rest of the countries could live in peace, because they all had treaties and alliances with each other.

RIP - Group 4

  1. I agree with what you are saying. I feel that had group 4 been a little more open to making treaties with everyone, the war may have not taken place. Also, I feel like there were some suspicions because group 3 and 4 had make not so secret "secret" alliances.
