It is only a matter of time before France falls.

 * The Greeks and Bulgarians force peace on the Wallachians allowing the Greeks to focus on Trebizond. Greek diplomats promising any captured Angoran territory to Anatolia manage to bring them into the war. The presence of another Turkish state, althought a christian one, in the war causes the Angoran populace to rise up against the occupying Trebizond Greeks. The already taxed Trebizond forces wonder if they have possibly made a mistake in taking on a much larger, populous, better armed nation not worrying about keeping a subjugated population in check.

Greece protested this move.
 * Under the new arrangement with the new BG, France must pay a one time tribute, and keep their military a certain size. Also under the arrangement, the French king can keep the crown but must be submissive and thoroughly loyal to the British government.
 * In an ill-fated effort to reunite Prussia, three assemblies of representatives from each of the Prussian states meet and agree to merge the country again.

The surviving Kurdish forces retreat to Cilicia, (The territory taken from Cyprus) where they establish a rump state under the looming Persian shadow.

 * Thousands of Greek troops are sent to hold North Africa against the overwhelming odds. Seeing their chance, the Wallach Union, led by Hungary and anti-Greek Bulgaria, launch an invasion of Greece's western territories. The Greeks are now being hopelessly assaulted from two sides and are unable to concentrate their armies.
 * The Kurds also seize the chance and capture the weakly-defended Cyprus. Greece's empire is falling apart.
 * The Muscovian empire and the commonwealth of Belarus-Ukraine agree to become allies, making them the most powerfull alliance in northeastern Europe.

1726

 * Promising the State of Anatolia any territory they can conquer if they join them in an invasion of Greek Asia Minor (Which they readily accept), the Empire of Trebizond declares war on Greece, hoping to get revenge for their humiliating defeat in 1717 and using the Greeks' own tactics against them by inducing revolts and playing on the greed of other states. The allied nations gain ground quickly, meeting little significant resistance.

Yet, the damage is done, and Greece's kingdom is in ruins.

They also improve relations with their former colonies in America.
 * A member of the original Komnenos dynasty of Trebizond ascends to the imperial throne, promptly moving the Empire of Trebizond's capital to Constantinople.

 * The renewed Byzantine Empire, for the first time in history, begins to invest heavily in more advanced gunpowder technology and heavy artillery. All armored troops are issued and trained in the use of more modern 'handguns' and muskets shipped in from Western Europe, discarding their more outdated firearms.

1730

 * Neu Habsburg, with its navy being rebuilt and merchant fleet on the rise, they begin to encourage a massive system of trade, the capital city of Cherbourg is created as the main point of this new system. They get their allies in the north and the south to agree to begin encouraging merchants to go there as a main focal point for trade between the northern and southern side of Europe, and as a result of the increase in trade, Cherbourg becomes a very rich city and the king of Habsburg begins using it for building up the nation and its Asian colony.

1731

 * Tired of Greece becoming a vassal and puppet of Byzantium and the nations of the Wallach Union, a revolt arises in Greece. The Greeks hope to overthrow the puppet officials and regain some measure of freedom again. They also declare the terms of the peace treaty with the Byzantines, the Wallach Union, Algeria, Alexandria, and Sudan null due to violation of Greek territory by the African states and the Byzantine Empire, which contradicts the original treaty declaring that Greece could keep what remained of its crumbling empire.

1738

 * The Greek revolt causes concern among the Wallach Union and the Byzantine Empire, who declare a ceasefire to deal with the new situation, at the urging of the Greek puppet rulers they have installed. The rebels have already seized a portion of southern Greece, calling it the 'Duchy of Morea', with their leader crowned the new duke.

It also begins training several elite units for war. Upon hearing this news, the Republic of California joins the BG.

 * With untrained and un-seaworthy Lithuanian sailors, the German-Czech Federation loses a humiliating naval battle against Denmark. This allows Britain to finally take control of the seas around Gotland.

1741

 * Prussia and Bohemia raise a new fleet of their best German sailors to send to Gotland. Agents of the German-Czech Federation also sabotage the major harbor at Gotland, destroying a handful of British and Habsburg ships but failing to wipe out the entire fleet as expected. With the harbor at Gotland crippled, the fleet is unable to return to the docks. Immediately after receiving news of the danger, Denmark dispatches its own fleet to assist them.
 * The Byzantines march south to reestablish order over the minor state of Thessaloniki, also dispatching large invasion forces to grab and hold as many of the northern Greek islands as possible on the Aegean Sea, between Thrace and Thessaloniki.
