Compared to the rapid development of Australasia in 1926, other countries did not fare as well that year.
Although countries like the United Kingdom and France also suffered heavy losses, domestic order was barely maintained.
Particularly in the United Kingdom, while the loss of population was not good news, the reduction in the number of unemployed people steadied the domestic order even more, and as a result, the unemployment rate decreased somewhat.
The two countries where the situation had not improved at all were the United States and Germany.
Crown Prince William brought Arthur's reply back to Germany, which also gave William II much to ponder.
In the end, William II decided to temporarily abandon his plans to seize power, waiting to see how the German situation would develop and to judge whether Arthur's words would come to pass.
