Doodle Summary 2


Speaking of which, France kept insistently ragging on Germany, but…


Although made fun of Italy for being dumb, he didn’t say much else.

All through the war England and France made up horror stories
and leaked them to the rest of the world, which actually worked
very well to stirring up outside criticism against Germany. Some
of the tales of German wickedness that still circulate today originated
as English and French propaganda and were formally apologized for following the war.

Incidentally, when simple ‘ol America heard the variety of
“Germany’s (fake) Tales of Evil (by France and England)”
he shouted “I won’t forgive someone who does rotten things like that!”
and rushed over to support England.

That era’s America was still very America-like, wasn’t he?

□Don’t they open their eyes?□

■Fantasy England■

It seems that 70% of British people believe in ghosts.

By the way, in England there’s stuff like an island where fairies live,
a resident directory for ghosts, and even the London tower,
famous for being a tourist area, is a “ghost spot”.
Ghosts, fairies– sorcery and England have a relationship that
can’t be separated even if they tried.

■Germany and Italy’s big brother■

■Vengeful big brother■

Nicknamed “Red Devils,”
no one knew when or where Italian grenades would explode.
They frightened both enemies and allies.

Brothers…

 

■Ruined China■

China lost the first and second Opium war, and had
the greater part of his territory seized by France and England.
As you can see from the map above,
it became an incredibly marbly and pitiful thing.
Aaah The Old Summer Palace…

And when China turned and looked behind him, Russia was right there.
I bet it was scary to see Russia drawing closer and closer.
Good luck, China.

Doodle Summary 1





The elder and younger Italy brothers.
I like the elder brother’s curl.

 

 

England caught a cold! (‘ ∀‘ )

 

England and France’s wallets are bled dry
when they are at war so they catch a cold,
but for some reason America prospers.

Chibitalia



■ Chibitalia, Holy Roman Empire and France ■

Although he dubbed himself the Holy Roman Empire out of adulation for the Roman Empire,
the Holy Roman Empire was not Rome.
It appears he went around stalking Italy and making
ambiguous “Won’t you join me?” threats *laughs*.
His dream was to create a unified Holy Roman kingdom made of Italian and German people.

Feeling quite scandalized by the matter,
France and Spain would often call out “Stop making passes at Italy!”
Though, it wouldn’t be the Holy Roman Empire if he listened.

■ Before Italy became the bullied boy ■

After the fall of Rome, Italy became a collection of small city-states.

You could find everything in Italy back then.
Fertile lands, beautiful climate, magnificent culture,
history, art, trade, religion…
it was a completely enchanting place to be.

But it was WEAK.
It was weak even from this era.

From the eyes of the other countries, there’s no better trophy in the world. Beginning with France’s advance, the rest of the stronger countries began converging to pluck their own piece of Italy.

■ The Strongest Bully Appears ■

“All right, Italy is mine!”

Thus France resolved to begin his Italian invasion campaign.
Though he said he’d go help putting down troubles in Milan, he
went straight to conquer Florence and Naples.


Though he ended up going broke halfway and got stuck in
strange places, showing his own brand of uselessness
(though France’s wallet was in such a state that it’d burst if he so much as farted, anyway) we still think Italy was even more useless than him.


He had absolutely nothing prepared.
And he already knew it months in advance…
Therefore, things went downhill from beaten→surrender rapidly.

Italy was already Italy since this time period.

 

■ Why was Big Brother so anxious? ■

A little while ago, Austria (Habsburg rule) started
to swagger about in the Holy Roman household.
Austria’s plans had already netted him Spain,
so France suddenly got stuck in the middle.

[T/N : This is when Habsburg kings ruled both Austria and Spain, via marriage plans.]


Feeling antsy, France decided to take over the unspoiled
Northern Italy. The Holy Roman Empire and Spain had a few
things to say about that, however, and they began their own moves.
That was how the great war for Italian domination started…

 



■ Mr. Austria ■
An aristocratic intelligentsia who not only
busied himself with Italy,
but also controlled the Holy Roman Empire.
Loves music more than anything.

■ The Italian War ■

A war that turned the entirety of Italy into a bloodbath.
Lynched on by countries from all over,
Italy is torn off piece by piece by the strong countries.

And after this, Italy’s harsh life as a servant began…



■ Italy, the Renaissance, and… ■
Since Italy had to cling to stronger countries to survive,
it was not a proper time for art.
This heralds the beginning of the end
for the magnificent Renaissance culture.

Italy would disappear from the stage of history for many centuries afterwards, and because he remained an underling for so long, he never got the chance to expand.

By the way, it looks like Italy never used
his army in this period, either. *laughs*


■ Mr. Austria’s glorious musical history ■

The Austrian throne poured a great deal of money into arts and music,
so they were able to gather and support the very best of musicians.

The Vienna Boys’ Choir is reputed to have been there since the 15th century.
T-that’s old…!

■ Italy and Mr. Austria ■

Italy did have a number of small rebellions throughout,
but they were quickly crushed by Austria’s military.


Well, it was his longtime dream.(*´∀`*)

Elsewhere, the elder Italy brother…

While Northern Italy was conquered by the Holy Roman Empire,
Spain managed to conquer the south.

Now that we mention it, maybe the reason South Italy has slow growth even now is because he spent too long a time under the laid back Spanish rule.
Since he didn’t have to do a thing by himself (heh, festa and siesta)
his main assets are still agricultural and tourism, like it was 1,000 years ago.

The Italian cheer also feels very Spanish, now that I think of it.


The Renaissance didn’t stop with Italy, but spread all over Europe.
The Holy Roman painter Albrecht Durer was famous, wasn’t he?

The Holy Roman Empire, beginning to copy Italy and start painting.



And so Chibitalia, the story of Italy’s childhood, comes to an end.
Italy’s history is full of invasion, isn’t it…?

After this, the Holy Roman Empire was embroiled in a tragic path with the Thirty Years’ War.
I’ll write something on this later.
France profited greatly from this fight.

Hetare 4: Pact of Steel 2



Italians have been an inconsistent people since forever. *laughs*
The North and the South never really got on all that well, but if you ask,

“Is there a strength difference because of the regions?”
In the First World War, Italian soldiers were conscripted from all parts of the country and distributed evenly among the army, but after WWI, they started making the units regional.

Still,
THE USELESSNESS NEVER CHANGED.

They really are HETARE!

Although Poland and Lithuania used to be one country,
Lithuania was pretty much in the lackey position.
He was confounded by Poland’s many whims, apparently,
like “Speak Polish!” or “Live like me!”.

Poor, poor Lithuania…

 

 

 

 

Though Poland has the image of ‘the poor abused country stuck between Russia and Germany’ he actually has been destroyed many times and yet still rose back like a phoenix. In other words, he seems to actually be a tough, strong country.

Surprisingly, there were times when he’d won against Russia and Germany. The time he was with Lithuania was his golden age, where he and Lithuania the Lackey conquered and expanded across Eastern Europe.

Also, this is pointless, but I based Poland’s accent on Nagoya schoolgirls.

(T/N: In English this would be Valley Girl.)

 

 

 

 

 

 


Russia actually had traumatic memories of Poland and letters before.
In one of their wars, he grew to distrust his allies thanks
to Poland’s fake letters and caused massive unrest in the ranks,
at which point Poland swooped in and took Moscow.

 

He did get a very thorough revenge afterwards, though.

 

Speaking of Russia’s friends, I completely forgot this person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And so, we have the Pact of Steel.
Although Lithuania said ‘Soviet’ singularly in the last panel,
please think of it as the USSR.

Hetare 4: Pact of Steel 1


 

 

 

Lithuania and Russia

After Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin finished their conference at Yalta,
they went on a sightseeing flight to the Black Sea.
No sooner than they’d taken off, a devil jumped onto
the airplane’s wing and started to destroy the engine.
Churchill kept his cool and began to negotiate.

“Sir, if you’ll stop that,
I’ll give you a seat in the House of Lords.”

The devil, however, refused to listen.
A few minutes later, Roosevelt said to the devil,

“Hey, you, yes, you. If you’ll stop,
I’ll give you as much Californian farmland and new Packard cars as you want.”

But the devil continued to destroy the engines.
At this point, Stalin gently shouted,

“Hey, you fuckwad, if you don’t stop that right
now I’ll throw you into the kolkhoz!

At the moment the devil heard those words,
it flew away, never to be seen again.

From the kolkhoz that even the devil fears.

 

Lithuania and the Happy Three Baltic States

Although Lithuania used to be a big country with Poland,
Russia did its best to break that apart—>Lithuania is ‘recruited’.
Afterwards, poor Lithuania’s plight was to be beaten up by Russia day after day.
By the way, Lithuania-kun likes martial arts.
He’s also the (relatively) most cheerful among the Baltic states.

 

 


The Trembling Trio

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 


The Pact of Steel. A treaty exchanged between Germany and Italy
to help each other out if each is ever in a bind.
This pact will change the two Italy’s immeasurably in the future.

Tiger Upporcut

[T/N: The title is in reference to the 90s Japanese video game magazine “GAMEST” which was infamous for its typos and one of them was ‘uppercut’ (アッパーカット) misspelled as ‘upporcut’ (ウッポーカット).’]


It’s Romano with an unusual facial expression, but since I’ve changed it a little I’m uploading this one here.


You should get along better with your brother too! Just like me, I have a beautiful relationship with my brothers!

Nah that’s not what he’s saying.


Scribble.
