The Southern Germany Question Has Been ACCEPTED for Mediation
Scandinavia, France, the Northern German Federation, and finally the Austro-Hungarian Empire have submitted and approved the issue of the Spanish Revolution to Mediation in the Conference of Paris-Évry.
Easily the hottest issue presently in Europe, the South Germany Question, which has needled at the side of the now all-influential Pan-Germanism cause since the First German War. With Pan-Germanism inflamed once more in the wake of the Scandinavian Unification, with the Northern German Federation as its champion, they have made their move on the South and made the issue hot once more with the beginning of the Second German War. The German blitz has won them most of Southern Germany, but with forces pressing on every side across Europe, restoring the peace
here may be the key to averting a general war across all of Europe. The hopes of Germans and of Europeans everywhere may rest upon the success of the negotiations here.
On second note, regarding the Spanish Revolution question, it is certainly quite the exceptional case for mediation as one of the main parties and antagonists is an unrecognized revolutionary state. The character and goals of Mediation may thus differ from that between recognized states: and may require unorthodox rulings to establish peace. The most direct and potentially productive way to ensure a true peace is to recognize the present government in Spain, the Madrid Commune, so that they may earn a place at the negotiations and participate directly as a way of creating a mutually recognized peace agreement. This, of course, may have some undesirable side-effects, but is nonetheless the most direct means of fulfilling the spirit of the Conference. Otherwise, creating peace in Europe vis-a-vis the Spanish Revolution will take the form of restoring peace to the high seas and agreements of containment regarding the ideology of the spreading revolution. While not directly peaceful, creating an international naval task-force or convoy system to contain or destroy the Comunista commerce raiding vessels would be a welcome relief from the plague of sea wolves prowling off the Iberian peninsula, while sealing a pact or alliance to jointly contain the Spanish Revolution and prevent its spread or reoccurance elsewhere in Europe would hopefully stave off the growth of its foul ideology and the conflict it engenders with it. The key here is ensuring containment, not outright interference in Spanish affairs, but without Spanish participation there can be doubts as to the success of any agreement made without it; the Second International is unlikely to be cowed unless by overwhelming international commitment and support.
