The System of Alliances


[warmup]
Think back to the simulation we acted out yesterday...
1) What country were you?
2) What happened to your country? (Did you get an alliances? Did you seek them out or did people find you? What was your strategy for getting alliances? etc.)
3) How did you personally felt during and about the simulation?
4) Explain what happened after the NEWSFLASH, when Archduke Franz Fredinand (from Austria Hungary) was assassinated (by Serbians).

  3. I was Austria-Hungary. We had one alliance, but that one had other. I didn't really go and look for people I wasn't feeling all that well that day. Well we went to war and based on the alliances I believe that we died, but I have no clue. -Chumani Wayd

  6. Lol my country was Serbia and we were just that little needle in Austria's couch. They knew we were there, they just didn't know when we would painfully poke them. And then one day they sat down on their couch and we poked them straight in the A-S-S. Then they got super pissed and started a war, but you know, it's just how things go. Me and Russia were total bros.
    If Russia was in the analogy he would be like... an army of lice.
    Um I thought it was silly but it was fun to get into it.
    SERBIA FTW.

  10. My country was UK and we did get alliances. We went out and got alliances with other countries. Our strategy was to get with the ppl who shared a mutual hatred for other countries. The simulation just started so i dont really have any feelings towards it. I honestly think this will be really fun butif you dont pay attention i know that we can be confused easily.

    What Newsflash ?

  13. Okay what I learned is that what country your are you got to know who your enemy is.You got to know who works with you. You have to write down what did you want to change about your country

  21. 1. I was Bulgaria.
    2. I got into an alliance with Austria-Hungary and France. They found me and I agreed. My strategy for making alliances is that I will not make alliances with people who are with Russia. Other than that I had no strategy.
    3. I personally felt like I was the leader of Bulgaria. When the paper said that Bulgaria didn't like Russia, I disliked Russia too.
    4. After the Newsflash, Basically the rest of Austria-Hungary was going to war with the Siberians and the alliances of the Siberians and Austria-Hungary. We don't know who won yet.
