Turkey Offensive (21st Century Crisis)

The Offensives into Turkey, were a series of offensives performed by the Allied forces, namely the Soviet, Greek and American forces, as well as one Axis member, Germany, a former ally of Turkey.

Each of the countries performed offensives into Turkey for their own reasons and agendas, however, they all had a common goal of defeating Abdulmejid II's goal to re-establish the Ottoman Empire and form the "Second Imparatorluk", akin to Hitler's "Third Reich".

For Germany, the country was a former Axis ally of Turkey, and the two previously cooperated in their invasion of the Soviet Union. However, Abdulmejid II disobeyed Hitler's orders of when to attack, and began to carry forth with his Second Imparatorluk plan, to conquer the Caucusus, which conflicted with Hitler's own war plans to conquer the region.

When Turkey invaded the Soviet Union's Caucasian republics, Hitler was not delighted, and was angered by the news. He expelled Turkey from the Berlin Pact, this caused Abdulmejid II to declare war on Germany, fighting a disastrous multi-front war of his own.

Turkish forces attacked German troops stationed in Turkey, therefore, leaving HItller no choice but to re-deploy troops originally fighting in the Soviet Union, to fight into Turkey. From occupied Bulgaria, Hitler sent forces into Turkey, while the Soviets fought the German from the east.

After Greece was liberated by the allies, the partook in invading Turkey from the south. After the surrender of Istanbul, Turkey was divided into Germany, Soviet and Western zones, the temporary peace stopped, and the Soviets and Western Allies continued the fight against Germany.
