Long live our glorious union, for we shall not falter before a feeble Empire. For the Federation
The Beginning of Conflict is a speech by
President of the Federation George Whistle, made to all of the citizens of the
Federation of Anfieden and Allied Planets to alert them that the
3rd Imperial Republic of Jerace had declared war, and the
2nd Galactical War was underway. The speech is perhaps the most famous of those given by George Whistle, alongside
In Regard to Total War. While technically a part of the same speech, the opening stages of Whistle's mammoth speech is known as the
We are Engaged in a War that will Define our Generation Speech, with a clear and precise beginning and ending found within. However, the speech itself would last far longer and is most well known for the phrase, "Long live our glorious union", which has become a rallying cry for the Federation, both during and long after the 2nd Galactical War.
The speech was held on
Envien only a day following the opening battles of the war, and the
Invasion of the Federation. It is generally believed that Whistle wrote the speech himself, as he was known to do with other speeches of his, however, this is generally debated by historians and literary specialists, with some penning the speech to a ghostwriter, long forgotten by history.
