Events and related images

[vonfriedman]

In some future update of RTW2 I would appreciate an additional series of events and corresponding images.

Currently, even if it seems a little strange, the image of the Polish Marshal Smigly-Rydz addressing the crowd is associated with the announcement of, say, Japan's warlike intentions.


In addition, other "events" can be invented, in order to mitigate the monotony of the usual recurring events.
Any idea about it?

Just to make a first contribution, I join the image of Mussolini announcing "the reappearance of the Empire on the fatal Hills of Rome".

We should have different images for some events in different time periods.

Suggestions:

1900-1920 speech:

1940-1970 speech:

I wonder if, as the only color image, it could be used for a rare, end-of-game "nuclear war" event if your forces are vastly outnumbered and losing after 1950.

Yes, but I have a better one, but it is not an image.



But my real favorite is this one, if you win.

To increase the variety of possible crisis situations and at the same time give them a historical flavor, other "naval" crises that did not escalate could be exploited. To name just a few:
Agadir crisis 1911
Corfu incident 1923
British and Russian merchant ships sunk during the Spanish civil war
Sinking of the Greek cruiser Helli 1940
Cruise of the Lanikai 1941
Corfu channel incident 1946
HMS Amethyst incident 1949
Crabb affair 1956
USS Pueblo incident 1968
etc. etc.

I am also posting here a suitable image for an unexpected crisis situation

"A foreign politician was caught in an embarrassing situation, which generated an uprising of our public opinion against  xxx"

Here are two images for the Corfu Incident of 1923

Here is a photo of the Pueblo

Here are two images for the Helli -

I would like to add five more events or incidents to the list:

1. Sinking of the Lusitania May 15, 1915

2. Sinking of the Athenia - 3 September 1939

3. Pearl Harbor 7 December 1941

4. Hanging of Benito Mussolini www.gettyimages.com/photos/mussolini-hanging?phrase=mussolini%20hanging&sort=mostpopular

5. Shooting down of Admiral Yamamoto -

I would suggest avoiding gruesome images. To understand the ferocity of those times it must be pointed out that in that same place where Mussolini's body was exposed to the mockery of the spectators, the bodies of 15 partisans (resistance fighters) shot by the Nazis were left exposed there nine months earlier.

To stay on a lighter tone, some tragicomic random event could be included in RTW, similar to the Honda Point "disaster", which involves a loss of some ships and - if belonging to the player - even prestige.

Sorry to necropost but here is a new Austrian fascist flag:
