In addition, there were Military Bases established by Australasia in El Salvador and so forth. Of course, unlike the American army’s military bases, Australasia’s bases were nominally there to help train El Salvador’s own Military, not to station troops to control the local situation.
The people of El Salvador were also well aware of just how dire their living conditions were, especially under the influence of gangs. Frequent brawls and shootings were common in El Salvador, which made the arrival of the Australasia Army to help maintain Order welcomed by the Salvadorans.
To gain further support from the people of El Salvador, the arrival of the Australasia Army brought with it abundant supplies and aid, effectively improving the quality of life for Salvadorans.
This tangible benefit was what the Salvadorans welcomed the most, and it was the real reason why they did not resist the presence of the Australasia Army.
Equally benefitting was the British Empire. However, the British Empire’s control over the Central American countries was much stronger than that of Australasia.
Although they only acquired Nicaragua and Guatemala, if you add the previously occupied Honduras, the British have occupied or controlled a Majority of the Central America region.
This had a crucial impact on the situation in the Americas. With the British-controlled Central America and Canada, plus Mexico, which has always been at odds with the United States, this left the United States in a situation where they had enemies to both North and South.
The United States not only had to worry about the security of the Panama Canal but also had to be concerned that in the event of a conflict breaking out with the British, the southern coast of the United States could be blockaded by the British fleet.
Although they did not acquire the Panama Canal, British ambitions for the Canal were well known.
The British increased their navy’s deployment in Central America and strengthened the power of the Atlantic Fleet.
By then, just the military forces formed by these two countries might exceed 2 million, allowing Australasia to achieve more victories and benefits in World War II.
Of course, while Australasia was developing, the progression of Other countries had not stalled either.
The speed of economic and Industry recovery in European Nations was very swift. The Frenchmen have finally recovered from the trauma of World War I, seeing their economy and Industry begin to prosper and grow.
As of now, France had almost fully restored its pre-war Industrial level and was in a state of economic prosperity. The Frenchmen had forgotten the pain of the war, with more laughter and cheer than before.
This situation was not just apparent in France but also in Russia Nation, which had ended its Civil War.
As the Civil War was over, Russia’s Industry finally started to recover. Although the current Scale of Russia’s Industry was not very large, it had made clear progress compared to the Civil War period.
Nicholas II could finally breathe a sigh of relief, believing that Russia Government Finance would not be as tense in 1924 as it had been during the Civil War.
However, for the Russian Government to pay off the debts incurred during the Civil War and World War I, it would likely take a very long time.
To secure more supplies and weaponry, Nicholas II not only mortgaged or sold off significant mining rights in Russia but also mortgaged a large portion of the compensation due from Germany and the United States.
The recovery period for Russia would be quite lengthy, and if the economic recovery proceeded steadily, it would take at least ten years to return to pre-war levels.
With growth, there must also be decline; this is an unchanging theme in the global dynamics.
