Peace talks were held in Peterhof, as a result of which Russia got itself Poznan, Klaipeda, Krakow region, Galicia, Bukovina. And from Turkey also Asia Minor with the straits, as well as Constantinople.
Territorial conquests were considerable. In addition, Germany pledged to pay reparations to the parties.
In Europe, several countries emerged on the site of Austria-Hungary, and Romania, in connection with Nicholas II, significantly expanded its borders. But Bulgaria has lost. The Ottoman Empire disappeared from the world map altogether. Syria became French, Iraqi English, like Palestine. Mecca and other lands in Saudi Arabia, the allies decided to share later.
The authority of Nicholas II was strengthened and under the benevolent spirit the emperor dismissed the Duma and canceled his previous decree on elections. And so ended the era of parliamentarism in Russia ...
Then came a series of small wars. In Afghanistan - which was shared with the British, in Iran - is also a division with Britain, and a joint company in the Middle East. As a result, the recent Islamic countries have come under the political control of the Christian world.
For a long time until 1929 there was a period of stabilization of capitalism. Russia experienced rapid economic growth, coming in second place in industrial production and second only to the United States.
But the Great Depression began. A strong blow to all world economies including the Russian one.
The situation inside the country sharply worsened. The intelligentsia actively demanded democratization, liberalization, and a constitution. Everyone wanted freedom and at least some kind of democracy. In 1931, Japan announced the creation of a puppet Chinese empire in Manchuria, and invaded Shanghai.
This was the reason for the declaration of the War of the Rising Sun. Despite all the self-confidence of the samurai, the royal troops under the command of Denikin defeated the Japanese. The situation was somewhat worse at sea, but when the squadron approached from the Baltic, under the command of Kolchak, the advantage was already on the side of Russia.
As a result, a convincing revenge was taken for defeat in the former Russian-Japanese war. Russia regained controclass="underline" Port Arthur, Manchuria, took Korea under patronage. South Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, and Taiwan were also occupied by Russian troops.
Russia became the largest Pacific power, and established hegemony on the seas. While the British Leo quickly weakened and lost their positions.
The boy-child prodigy wanted to continue to tell, but they shouted. A dozen bikers in leather jackets cut the path of a couple that rode on scooters. Bikers looked awesome: bearded, overgrown with long hair. And something ugly said ...
Oleg Rybachenko pulled out his pistol and cried out in the Sharikov style:
- Indecent words can not be expressed!
Bikers burst out laughing, opening their throats wide:
- Like, we are afraid of you!
In response, the boy pulled the trigger. Multicolored bubbles flew out. Once in the hairy creatures, they literally made them cluck and explode in abuse of pain. Bikers moved in different directions, howling and swearing indecent words.
Margarita whimpered her face and remarked:
- That's really from whom and should not take an example!
The boy nodded in agreement and shook his pistol, answering an unasked question:
- A kind of unstable electricity ... Very effective!
The girl whistled and smacked the kid on the cheek, saying:
- Yes, you're super! Made such a little thing! I knew you were a genius!
Oleg modestly replied:
- I'm just an inventor ... And while the government is not interested in my projects. - Here the boy spat contemptuously. - For a long time I want to go to college. In school, I have long been uninteresting!
Margarita sang her ringing, pleasant little voice:
- What a school life ... Where is the test every day! Addition, division, multiplication table ...
Children on scooters have already left Moscow. The majestic, beautiful city was left behind. The capital of the most powerful country in the world, it makes an indelible impression on the entire planet. But the boy with the girl does not pay attention. One thing worries them - as if, the police did not slow down, and did not demand documents from the youngsters.
But the rules, they do not violate the movement, adjusted to automatism.
Oleg Rybachenko expressed his opinion:
- The multiplication table is primitive ... I personally dream to refute Einstein's theory of relativity. In particular, the possible speeds exceeding light in a vacuum. And I have a lot of interesting ideas on this topic.
Margarita shook her head.
- You should not express them ... Theory is boring! And practice is expensive!
The boy just giggled in response ... And he added gas. Yes, these girls do not like boring scientific reasoning. Give them something simple. Like, for example, adventures with greentails. And the soul wants something else. Fly to cosmic worlds. See life beyond the solar system.
For example, a mixture of the Colorado potato beetle and pineapple. Shake hands with your brother according to reason. Or maybe a shaggy wing, or nose. How interesting must these aliens be. What do they eat for breakfast? Or maybe they replenish their energy with electricity! What are they still funny creatures!
Oleg slightly tilted the scooter and asked Margarita:
- What do you think about life on other planets?
The girl shot her eyes and answered fervently:
- I do not know ... Although the existence of other worlds is not contrary to science!
Oleg agreed and nodded:
- It's not even Newton's biome, but the Pythagorean theorem!
Margarita giggled and rang out in a juicy voice:
- As well, there is no dirty theory. We will learn necessarily connected ...
