The Re-Awakening (World of Sultans)

Yeniden Uyanış (lit. Turkish for "The Re-Awakening") was a political throughout the 1930s, that saw re-surgance of the Ottoman Empire, and the subsequent abolishing of the Republic of Turkey. In 1930, Abdulmejid II, the heir to the Ottoman throne, declared a jihad against the republic, and vied to return Turkey to the "glory days of the Ottoman Empire".

Abdulmedjid II revived the Imperial Army, and trained a mix of veterans and supporters. The Imperial Army waged a civil war against the state's armed forces, a civil war that lasted for four years. In 1934, Abdulmejid II emerged victorious, and was crowned the 37th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.

In 1935, the new government began to mass-produce military equipment, and amass the Imperial Ottoman Army. In 1937, as Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany was conquering Europe, Abdulmejid II proclaimed a "re-conquest of Europe", and invaded Bulgaria and Romania. The Ottomans were able to sieze southern Romania entirely, with little resistance from poor defenses. However, they faced much stronger resistance in northern Romania.

The Imperial Ottoman Navy besieged Cyprus and Crete, eliminating what little resistance existed on those two islands. After conquering Cyprus and Crete, the Ottomans began their invasion of southern Greece. The Kingdom of Albania offered no resistance to the Ottomans, and was integrated as the Viyalet of Albania, with the Albanian monarchy being allowed to retain their positions of power within Ottoman administration.

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia prepared its defenses, and sent heavy concentrations of military presence in its eastern borders, with the Ottomans having conquered the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

Adolf Hitler used the Ottoman conquest as being vital for his own personal gains, and made it plain that since many of the Eastern and Southern European natons were busy fighting the Ottomans, they would never suspect a German and Axis invasion.

Nazi Germany and the Ottoman Empire formally established a land border in 1940, when Nazi Germany invaded northern Romania. The two signed the German-Ottoman Non-Aggression Pact, which subsequently partitioned Romania into an Ottoman south and a German-controlled north. However, this would be Abdulmejid II's biggest mistake, as Hitler and the Nazis had an avid hate and contempt for the Ottomans, much as they did for the Russians and the Soviets. Abdulmejid II's had practically set the stage for the second Ottoman Empire's demise.

Abdulmejid II repeatedly ignored warnings from the IK forces that German and Romanian troops were amassing near the border of the German and Ottoman-held parts of Romania. Like others, Abdulmejid II did so to avoid provoking Hitler into war.

The German invasion of the Ottoman Empire began in 1940, with an onslaught offensive on the Ottoman-held part of Romania. Despite a large force, the Ottomans were too shocked and un-prepared for battle, however, put up a valiant resistant in Craiova, Bucharest and Constanța.

Persecution and Holocaust of Minorities
In an episode that Turks call "The Great Terror" or "Abdulmejid II's Terror", the Ottomans persecuted anybody that wasn't a Muslim in their conquered territories. Prisoners were divided into two groups: the
