Antarctica: Difference between revisions

The 1st confirmed sighting of mainland antarctica was by a Russian expedition on the 27 of January 1820. Another sighting of Antarctica was made 3 days later by Irishman Edward Bransfield. These consecutive sightings officially confirmed the old theories of '''''« Terra Australis »'''''.

With the old Antarctic powers being completely shattered , the [[United States of America|United States]] searching in the rubbles to find the last democratic nations, and the new World Powers the [[Greater Germanic Reich]] and the [[Empire of Japan]] being distracted by the colonisation and management of their newly acquired colonies and puppets in [[World War II]], it was the [[Republic of Chile]] and the [[Argentine Republic]], some of the closest countries to the Antarctic Continent, which started the era we now know as '''''"The Scramble for Antarctica"'''.'' However, staking their claims as the only powers on the Continent rapidly led to a number of escalating skirmishes making both countries drain more and more resources into the Barren Land.

Soon enough, with the [[West Russian War]] putting a blow and distracting the Reich, the attempts at Germanisation and general colonisation of Neuschwabenland had failed, and the remaining occupants of the colony rapidly evacuated to the [[African Reichskommissariats]]. As a latch ditch effort to keep the colony stable and to protect its borders, Germany sent a small number of troops, advisors and generals, also comprising [[Schutzstaffel|SS]]-Waffen Troops.

Around the time of the [[SS Rebellion]], a small number of primarily SS Troops revolted hearing the news of the Rebellion in the mainland. They then established themselves at a small encampment in the North-Western part of Antarctica, Begerheim. From what we now know of, the de-facto independent "colony" apparently called '''"[[Ahnenerbe Antarktis Gruppe]]"''' is getting regularily supplied by the [[Burgundy|SS-Ordenstaat in Burgundy]] and is conducting a series of experimentations to "Help the Mainland in its final goal".

On the Japanese side, not much is known. Some say it is used for nuclear experimentations, and others say it was just taken for the glory of the Empire, but what we are sure of, is that the waters of Antarctica are a prised fishing location for the Japanese. In fact, almost every sight of activity in the [[Japanese Antarctic Sector]] are sightings of Japanese fishing vessels coming to make a quick buck.

Motivated by the defence of their legitimacy and by the fight against [[Ideologies|National Socialism]] and Imperialism, the [[OFN Antarctic Administration|OAA]] still pursue their goal as an example of unity, democracy and progress, even in the Southern Continent.
