Pan-American Confederation

The Pan-American Confederation is a powerful alliance between nations in the New World. Led by the Kingdom of America, the PAC was formed as a military build up against the Empire of Japan and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Public Agenda

The initial conception of the Pan-American Confederation was to establish a counter to the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. However, with the start of the World War, the agenda grew to be as much of an alliance against Great Britain.

History

The concept of the Pan-American Confederation was first born after seeing Japan's expansive influence among the East Indies and their declaration of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Japan, originally barred from military build up, including the construction of aircraft carriers, following the Great War. However, Japan allied with the German Empire during the Russo-German War in exchange for relaxation of the military terms of the treaty.

Being led by King James I, America sought to limit Japan's military capabilities. Both sides signed the Japanese-American Naval Treaty, which stipulated that neither side could build their respective militaries up past the comparable aspect of the other. This includes limiting each signatory to no more than two aircraft carriers each. While the Treaty was tentatively accepted in America, Japan decried it as yet another unequal imposition. The Japanese diplomat was made to resign in disgrace.

In order to maneuver around these terms, Japan officially sold their constructed carriers to their allies among the GEACPS, many of which were declared by other nations as puppets. Japan still manned these carriers with many high officials while officially they were sailed by other nations. Japan and their allies eventually built a fleet including nine aircraft carriers, including two in the Kingdom of Hawaii. America claimed these broke the terms of the treaty, and began an arms race to match the combined GEACPS fleet.

America looked for allies, but many nations, even among those who had signed the Continental Ordinance, were very critical of America's intentions. In order to compromise, America negotiated with the Second Mexican Empire and Gran Colombia for their additions. The terms included shared ownership of the Nicaragua Canal, and combined construction of a new one in Panama.

When Germany leased the island of Guam, America sent a carrier strike group. However, the group was intercepted the Imperial Japanese Navy and was destroyed in a sneak attack. America declared war on Japan, beginning the Pacific War, and called for allies. Germany, who was at war with Great Britain, answered, activating the terms of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. With Great Britain entering the growing World War, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina eagerly joined the PAC in order to demand territorial concessions from Britain.
