January, 1914
Austria-Hungary decides to reform under the Austria banner, with each people getting presence in Vienna. This diffuses tensions and helps to strengthen ties within the country.
 * After seeing them as great potential allies, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire, sign the Central Pact in Berlin, which states that in the event of war, all three countries will support each other and declare war on the aggresive nation.
 * Austria formed under the United Empire of Austria agrees to sign the pact and decides to ask Italy as well. It also starts an Air Force Programme and considerably modernizes its Army and Navy.

The US Army creates an aircraft arm, known as the USAAF. It begins research on various viable types of aircraft for use by the military, including triplanes, biplanes, monoplanes, airships, and dirigibles. The Marines increase their strength to 19,000, from their previous 12,000. A commitee is created to improve the various weapons currently in use by the US military. Because of some preliminary research, the Madsen machine gun is quickly bought and issued to the various branches.

The Ottoman Empire decides to begin Industrialization. It has long been known as the "Sick Man of Europe" because of its lack of industrialization. But this soon changes as the Ottoman Empire becomes the fastest industrializer in Europe and Western Asia. It also excepts membership into the Central Pact.

Italy accepts membership into the Central Pact, while starts a great process of industrialization, modernization and improving the Italian army. The king of Italy starts dividing capitals, creating the Capital of Commerce (Milan), Capital of Culture (Florence), and Capital of Industriality (Turin). Finnaly, the King of Italy asks the Emperor of Austria-Hungary to give them the Trentino, Firuli and Trieste regions back, in exchange for some of their new technological secrets.

Greece looks torwards the Ottoman Empire and see's that it is no longer "The Sick Man of Europe" and begins its own indutstrialization. It also begins to import the materials needed for the industrialization program. Greece also begins to modernize its navy and army, it also begins conscription for its small army and navy. Research is begining to take steps forward in Greece as the early signs of tank research begins to materialize, but would not do so until 1916. Greece signs a Non-Agression pact with the Ottoman Empire, the pact does allow the two nations to supply there allies in any war, but forbids any contact (they simply can not attack each other) between the two.

Austria declines Italy's offer.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand visits Sarajevo. Because the Austrians gave every ethnicity equal representation, he does not get assassinated.

Whoever made this game (Batmanary i think) Franz got shot this turn, so should I post the event or do you want to?

'Whoever has the nation that shot Franz will post the event. If he's not avaliable, then Batmanary who is Austria. If not, me because I made the game. Fedelede 02:06, June 26, 2010 (UTC)'

'The guy who shot Franze was from Serbia, so because nobody has it someone else has to do it. Ownerzmcown 02:08, June 26, 2010 (UTC)'

I'll be Serbia I guess since I want to annex it anywaysBatmanary 02:10, June 26, 2010 (UTC)batmanary

June 1914

 * Franz Joseph goes to Switzerland on a diplomatic trip, and is assassinated. Austria declares war on Switzerland. Them being unprepared, in a matter of four weeks troops have run over Bern and Zurich. On the eve of July 1st, Franz Ferdinand becomes Kaiser of the United Empire of Austria and Switzerland becomes another land within.
 * Germany, begins a huge process of industrialization, the car industry booms in the country and thousands of new cars are put into production, construction is started upon many new ships, including two new dreadnoughts, and research is started into making a functioning tank for the army.
 * Italy continues industralization, becoming the fastest industralizing potence on Western Europe. They also lay claim to France so that they give them Tunis, Algiers, French West Africa and Nice.
 * Greece Imports Resources recently found in Thessaly. Greece also begins to import cars from Germany, U.S.A, and Great Britian. It also creates the Euro Defense Pact and it asks the following nations to join it: Great Britian, France, Serbia, and Russia.
 * Italy's weapon and machinery industry dominate the industrial landscape of Western Europe. A great army is fielded on Italy to attack France if the claims aren't accepted.
 * Greece signs a Non-Agression pact with France, Italy, and Germany. Greece begins to increase its Industrialization Program. Greece begins to cach up major industry nations such as Germany and is right behind Italy. The greek navy is now one of the finest ever to set sail while the army is well armed and strong.
 * The Ottoman Empire invades Bulgaria. Bulgaria had long been an ally of the Ottoman Empire, so the locals are essentially OK with the new rulers. The Ottoman Empire also calms many Orthodox Christian Rebels by asking for an alliance with the Orthodox Nations of Russian and Greece.
 * The US begins a massive industrialization program, with huge factory towns entirely owned by corporations scattered throughout the southwest and new england. The Navy expands it's fleet of battleships, and with John Holland as their main project team leader, manage to design a sub that can operate effectively throughout the Atlantic unsupported, and attack mechantmen with ease. These are built in great numbers. The US (being the breadbasket of the world) threatens to cut off all shipments of any product, including their oil to any nation who declares war on anybody. The USAAF adopts the F-1 Jenny as their main fighter, and a French immigrant, Roland Garros, designs a system for the plane that enables it to fire through the propeller. This is quickly adopted.
 * Greece supports the Ottoman invasion and even invades it itself, taking Thrace, Smolyan, and part of Blagoevgrad, while also giving Serbia Vidin (for more info go here:Provinces of Bulgaria). Greece creates the Balkans Pact, a pact that ensures that no war will erupt in the area, Greece and Serbia become the first members and Greece offers the Ottoman Empire membership (Even if that nation is already in an alliance, the members of the Balkan Pact would not attack one another in any war).
 * Shipments of grain and oil stop to both Greece and the Ottomans, and the US threatens to close the Panama Canal to any Greek or Turkish ships passing through if both nations don't allow Bulgaria it's independence. As the Turks have very little exploitable oil reserves, and far less arable land, many protests arise, and all their ships not directly involved with the invasion are forced to return to port. Greece, with very little arable land of it's own, thinks about backing down.
 * Greece Agrees to back down, but refuses to give up Thrace. But all other territory under Greece control in Bulgaria are to be under the U.S. Administration untill the Ottoman grants Bulgaria its independance Bulgaria.
 * The US agrees to Greece's terms, and takes away their embargo on Greece. However, the Turkish embargo is still in effect.
 * Italy warns the US to lift the Ottoman embargo or face hostilities, while it continues industralization and modernization/expansion of the army. The first army planes and a new invention called "tank" are starting to be placed upon the Italian army.
 * Greece begins to export supplys to the Ottoman Empire, it also asks the Ottoman and Italy to join the Balkans Pact, which now states: If any ally is attacked or declared war on by any nation, then all other members of the pact shall defend its ally in any means necissary.
 * The Ottoman Empire realizes that although the US has more useable oil, it has far more underground oil than any other nation in the world. It soon starts to support itself and pledges that if Greece need any extra oil, they give it to them. Bulgaria is now successfully divided with the West/South being Greek and the North/East being Turkish.

January, 1915
The US replies to Italy's threats by threatening to embargoe Italy itself. The US says it is simply defending the soverienty of Bulgaria, and that Italy cannot do anything to the US. The US continues research on various weapons (and continues to build up the USAAF and the Navy). Due to this research, Madsen guns are issued two per squad for both the Army and Marines. The US also reaches out to it's Latin friends Peru and Venezuela, and them, together with the newly-installed government of Mexico, form the Continental Alliance.

The Ottoman Empire requests that it's allies, Greece and Italy create the Mediterranean Pact (if one of the three members is attacked the other two will join in the war on their side). It does this in hopes of making the US back down.

Italy continues modernizing and expanding it's army, and accepts the Mediterranean Pact. It also warns the USA to stop any embargo on any Mediterranean nation immediatly.

The US accepts, under the conditions that Italy back down on their threats to France.

Italy does not stop claiming the Nice area, Algeria, Tunis, or French West Africa.

(I'm just trying to start WW1 with a good and large backstory :D )

The Ottoman Empire establishes control over all the Arabian Peninsula (except for the British Protectorate of Aden). It secretly discusses plans with Greece to do a joint invasion of Serbia.
