Often portrayed by foreign partisans as "La Dee Dah Lovecraft," the President became a scapegoat of sorts for the Imperial and Pacific Powers, pointing at the lack of participation by South Hills as the primary reason for the war's continuation. It was often argued that if the UCCS were to have joined a side, the war would have been decided either way rather than falling into a stalemate after well over a decade of global war. |

The conclusion of the Great War in 1917 positioned South Hills as the only major power not to have been economically ravaged by the total war policies enacted elsewhere across the globe. As such its economic insulation provided it an opportunity to expand its soft power influence around the world, and offered an array of bilateral loans dedicated towards rebuilding the infrastructures of the world economy. |
The conclusion of the Great War in 1917 positioned South Hills as the only major power not to have been economically ravaged by the total war policies enacted elsewhere across the globe. As such its economic insulation provided it an opportunity to expand its soft power influence around the world, and as such many public and private South Hills companies offered an array of bilateral loans dedicated towards rebuilding the infrastructures of the world economy. Borrower nations were varied, ranging from its neighbors in northwestern Concord to nations like Durdanini and Alksearia. These loans for a short time had done as planned; rebuilding efforts had gone into effect. However, due to a series of various events, most notably a dual-pandemic ([[Hasoni Plague]] and _____), the supervolcano eruption of 1917 resulting in the [[Black Winter]], and a fungal blight destroying staple crops across the globe, the loans proved insufficient to recover the post-war economy. As such the world, including South Hills, fell into a decade of severe depression and famine. |
