Cold War (Early Colonization)

The Cold War is the state of competition for global supremacy after World War II by its victors, Scandinavia and ETO, the Republic of Alaska, and Virginia. The Ottoman Empire was a minor power in the Cold War.

Far East Crisis
After the end of World War II, the globe was dominated by the war's victors. The main problem following World War II was where the new borders would be. China and the Republic of Alaska disputed over the Far East; China had won the land in World War I, but was taken over by the Russians in World War II. The Republic of Alaska invaded these lands and had occupied them. Alaska refused to give it back. After several days of negotiations the Chinese ordered their navy to blockade the Far East. Alaska ordered China to stop the blockade or face war. After pressures from the Nations Cooperative (NC), China ended its blockade and Alaska gave the Far East back to China.

Balkan Crisis
After World War II the Austria-Hungary Empire split into two seperate nations, Austria, and Hungary. The Ottoman Empire had invaded Austrian-Hungarian land with the Soviets in World War II, and after Russia had invaded the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans pushed the Russians back and soon occupied the lands they had in Austria-Hungary before. Now that the war was over, Hungary demanded the lands back from the Ottomans. The Ottomans refused and minor skirmishes began in the disputed land. The NC decided to step in and created the Balkan Comprimise, which would give half of the lands to Hungary and half to the Ottoman Empire.

Greek War
The Greek War broke out in 1950 and ended in 1954. The Kingdom of Greece which was created after the Greek War of Independence was occupied during World War II, but after it would be split in North Greece which supported the Ottomans, and South Greece which opposed the Ottomans. In 1948 Virginia declared its support for South Greece, but this did not stop North Greece from invading in 1950.

Virginian soldiers were shipped in and fought against the North Greeks. In 1952, when victory for South Greece and Virginia seemed immenint, the Ottoman Empire entered the war and thousands of Ottoman troops poured in South Greece. By the end of 1952 the Ottomans had neared Athens, the capital of South Greece. Virginian leaders talked about the use of nuclear bomb to end the war. However, Virginian victories and the retreat of Ottoman soldiers to North Greece ended the talks ended.

In 1954 the two sides, tired from the fighting, ended the war. Pre-war boundaries were established.
