The Sesame War - Part 4 (The End)

     Welcome back to the Sesame War! Well, the war has already ended, but this is the aftermath. Let's see how the new nations of Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia dealt with the neo-Sesames.      In Bohemia, the Friends of Abby party currently holds the chancellor, Frank Arthur. Now, he actually negotiated in 2021 about reunification with Moravia. But the Treaty of Prague that divided Bohemia-Moravia in 1963 said that Bohemia and Moravia "shall never reunite to prevent Sesame Street's return." The name of Arthur's party explicitly states that they are friends of Abby Cadabby. (Yes, I have been spelling her name wrong the whole time. Haha!) But the treaty had already been signed. So the president of Moravia, Evan King, rejected the offer.      However, despite Moravia having an anti-Sesame president, the senate of Moravia has never had an election where their two neo-Sesame parties, Super Sesame and Cadabby Group, were absent. Moreover, they're ...

The Sesame War - Part 3

     Guys, welcome back to the Sesame War! We left off with the rapid rise of the Sesame Empire, aka the Czechoslovakian Empire. They had fast war tactics reminiscent of the Mongol Empire. But in 1959, something shocking happened. So let's see what it was. Let's go, OttoRomans!     As the empire rapidly grew, something shocking happened. Military Manager Big Bird, General Ernie, and Colonel Bert split from the Sesame Street Party, leaving the party in the hands of Party Secretary Abby Caddaby. (Judicial Manager Elmo Monster was still there, but he was barely doing anything.)      The new party formed by Bird was called the Czechoslovakian Liberation Organization. Though Caddaby was suspicious that "liberation" meant liberation from Sesame Street, she allowed it due to her trust of Bird, who helped with the growth of Czechoslovakia.       She made a big mistake. On September 7, 1959, Bird started negotiating with the United Stat...

The Sesame War - Part 2

  The Sesame War is back! In Part 1, a new rightist party took over Czechoslovakia, leading to a war. Last time we looked at the front, it was a stalemate. Let’s see what happened now.  Since it was a stalemate, Military Manager Big Bird started drafting troops on January 7, 1954. It was a smart decision. Within 3 months, Warsaw was conquered, and Budapest was encircled, though it was never captured. Just a month later, all of Romania fell, and the Soviet Union was forced to send troops to Bucharest. This failed, however, as Sesame Czechoslovakia managed to capture Moldova in the process.  Both the American and Soviet governments started convincing other countries to join the war to stop Czechoslovakian expansionism. They did make a bit of progress, leading Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece to join the American and Soviet’s sides. These countries made almost no contributions, however.  What was even worse was that Sesame Ships, the new navy of Sesame Street, forcef...

Nicolae Ceaucescu - Speech Reenactment

     Nicolae Ceaucescu was the last communist dictator of Romania, then a member of the Warsaw Pact. In 1989, he ordered a major massacre in the city of Timisoara. So, during his next speech, which was supposed to be for his supporters, the people roared, trying to interrupt him. And it worked! He was able to finish his speech, but not without an interruption. A few days later, he was executed in a summary trial.      I reenacted that same speech that got interrupted using CapCut to add the sound effects. I added clapping because some of his supporters were still there. Here it is:
