The Official Lore of No Man’s Legacy: What if the Great War Never Ended?

Europe
Russia:
Within the Russian Empire, on March 3rd 1917, the Treaty of Brest-litovsk would be
signed, Ending the Eastern Front for the Central Powers. But, this wasn’t the end of
conflict for the Russians, as they had other problems to worry about, that problem being;
The Bolsheviks.
Since early 1917, political turmoil between Communists and Monarchists had been
building up, and soon led to a civil war. Vladimir Lenin (head of Soviet Russia)
attempted to coup the Russian Republic. This civil war went somewhat historically, with
various warlord states and oblasts declaring independence from White Russia. It was a
dire time for the Whites, as it seemed that Red was closing in on them from all sides.
Luckily, by this time the conflict known as World War I had just ended, allowing foreign
powers to send support into Russia without having to worry about their own fronts. The
largest thing that happened was the German Volunteer Force being sent into White
Russia, and pushing the Soviets back by 1925, ending the Russian Civil War with a
White victory. Russia, though not directly in a conflict, would be extremely unstable
during the period from 1925-1935, this period was called the Decade of Uncertainty.
Multiple leaders would take their turn controlling Russia, some of them being Alexsandr
Kerensky, Georgy Lvov, Pyotr Wrengel, and many more. By 1935 the Great Depression
had somewhat faded away in Russia, and Alexsandr Kolchak was now supreme ruler of
Russia.

Italy:
During the first year of the Great War the Italians had been staying neutral, not wanting
to conflict with the Triple alliance. However, on May 23rd 1915 the Italians, breaking the
Triple alliance, would declare war on Austria-Hungary, joining on the side of the Entente.
The only main reason for this was mainly due to the promise of lands within A-H and
France. The Italians would make their first moves on Austria-Hungary on the first day of
their entering, Starting the White war. In the beginning the Italians would make major
progress by breaking through the Austro-Hungarian lines, Entering southern Tyrol and
Istria. This would soon be followed by the breaking away of Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and
Transylvania from Austria-Hungary, in which the Italians would use to try and break
through the Austrian lines once again. The Austrians however, rather than focusing on all
of these new fronts would try their hardest at repelling the Italian attacks, slowly but
surely the italians would start losing supply, men and equipment from the constant
attacks on Austria-Hungary. Eventually, in 1916 the Italians would Finally lose their hold
over Southern Tyrol, losing major supply hubs, railroads and Ports along the way
however, soon after this austria would have to relocate troops onto the new fronts in the
Balkans, which would allow italy to push into mainland tyrol. Halfway through 1916,
Austro-Hungarians would Be able to hold a steady on their fronts, and using this
steadiness they would make a counter attack in Tyrol, catching the italians off guard and
surrounding the Italian troops. In 1917, Victor Emmanuel III would be assassinated by
socialists, kicking off a massive civil war in italy. The papacy, not having ever
recognised the italian government, would push for the austrians to not ONLY go for
Lombardy, but to fully reclaim all of the lands, subjugate italy and restore the papal
powers. And in 1918, the Austro-Hungarians would be able to Kick the Italians out of
Tyrol and take over Lombardy-Venetia from the Italians. This would be followed by the
Italian civil war officially kicking off, seeing Tuscany, N.I.S.R, Naples and the Papacy.
The Austrians however wouldn’t interfere with the civil war, this would mainly be
attributed to the Break away regions of Bosnia, the Formation of Yugoslavia and The
utter lack of supply and coordination in the alps along with the heavy resistance within its
taken territories.With the N.I.S.R taking mantle of italy they would now be on the run,
and would be forced to set up their lines behind the Po, Lago Di Como and Lago Di
Garda Rivers. Though, Due to the massive amounts of Political Instability italy was now
facing, and the rise of Socialists, the Papacy and Monarchists all throughout the nation, in
the year of 1919 - 1921, italy would be faced with the period known as: “La guerra de 9
fratelli'' or in English, the War of the 9 Brothers. Within the northern Regions of Italy, a
man by the name of Benito Mussolini would see a rise to power. This man would be
known as an avid socialist throughout the political parties in Italy, He would time after
time avoid military service, Spread Socialist Propaganda and write for Socialist
Newspapers. His rise to power would mainly be due to the failing army that is the
Kingdom of Italy along with Nationalism on the rise due to many Italians wanting the
Austrians out of their lands, Benito Would use this opportunity to rise through the ranks
of Socialism. Conducting Speeches throughout Italy about the Benefits of Socialism to
the Italian Populace, ridiculing the Current Italian Nation and pointing out every
weakness.Benito Would see a surge in popularity after the year of 1917, following the
Austrians Moving through and pushing the Italians to the Po, Lago Di Como and Lago Di
Garda Rivers, Benito would in the year of 1918, stage a coup of the italian government.
Marching on Rome, Benito would rally the support of Italian socialists and waltz
throughout italy. In 1920 - 21, The south of Italy would soon become a Refuge for Italian
monarchists, declaring the Separation of their state from italy. And with the Italian
Monarchs now on the run for their lives and eventually captured on may 17th 1922, The
Northern Italian Social Republic would be formed, ending what was once a citadel of
Italian Unity now lays in ruins with the divide of Monarchist and socialists. And now
reaching 1923, the End of the great war would finally be announced, seeing the Austrian
Occupation of Lombardy, The Splitting of italy, The Formation of Yugoslavia and
multiple other Balkan states, It is certain that Italy or any other nation in the south of
europe will ever truly be stable and unified ever again. And After 2 years of back and
forth of Land Disputes, small peace deals and What not, in 1925 a massive surge in
Radicalism, Nationalism and many more Far Right and left wing Parties would be formed
within italy, which would not only de-stabilize italy further but it would make it near
impossible for any economical growth to occur within italy itself. In 1926 the Italian
Army would soon simply quit, not wanting to fight for a cause of Splitting Italian people.
The N.I.S.R would find itself in a horrible position, plagued by its Past, its present and
future. In 1929, the Great depression would hit America, and soon enough all of Europe
would soon find itself in major political and economical turmoil. Due to these reasons,
Italy and its states would find themselves at a massive stalemate, locked in a never ending
downturn and leading through 1929 - 1934, Italy would soon begin its collapse into a
plethora of states and warlored areas. In 1935, Benito Would act one last time, passing
the Fine dei 9 fratelli, Nascita dei 3 law, taking the 9 Italian states that are the N.I.S.R and
conjoining and Uniting them into 3 large states. This would not only Bring stability back
to the states, but it would allow for greater cooperation between them. However, it
wouldn't fix the issue of radicals and their past, and the largest problem of them all: The
papacy.
German Empire
Austria-Hungary:
Following the assasination of Franz Ferdinand on June 28th, 1914, Austria Hungary
would send a list of demands to Serbia, demanding that Serbia allow Austrian police to
operate within Belgrade, and many others. Serbia, unsurprisingly, declined these
demands. And with the questionable Support of Germany, and the declining of an
ultimatum, Austria-Hungary would officially declare war on Serbia on July 28th of 1914.
This would eventually lead to the Germans declaring on France and the Russians, which
not only would open another front for the austro-Hungarians, but it would mean that the
russians had an advantage over the Austro-Hungarians due to their Commander, Conrad
von Hotzendorf being Incompetent and not setting troops on the russian border. On
August 7th 1914, the Russians would Invade the Province of Galicia, Pushing the
Austrians back a fair amount, and causing the Germans to diverge their forces to help out.
Eventually In 1915, The Austro-Hungarians with the Help of Germany pushed the
Russians out, and Replacing Conrad von Hotzendorf with Friedrich Freiherr Von Georgi,
Seeing as Conrad was more Into Fame than he was actual Tactics. Along with this, on
May 23rd 1915 Italy entered the War Against Austria-Hungary, Pushing into Southern
Tyrol and Istria, causing the Austrians to Start panicking. With this massive fumble on
the fault of the Austrians, The Serbians would take this to their advantage, rising up
against the Austrians and Uniting with the Bosnians to form Yugoslavia, which would
cause even more problems for the now Failing Central powers. From this, the years
following (late 1916 - early 17) would be met with the Independence of Croatia from
Austria-Hungary, creating An even worse position for the Austrians. However, Not all
would be bad. The Austrians would find themselves pushing the Italians out of their lands
and even making progress into mainland Italy itself in 1916, though due to the Italian
Alps the “White war” would now be prolonged. 1 year later in 1917, the Austro-
Hungarians would finally break the Italian lines, Pushing the Italians back all the way to
the Po, Lago Di Como and Lago Di Garda Rivers. Following this massive achievement,
the Austro-Hungarians would now Focus back onto the Balkan front. In the Year that it
took for the Austrians to push the Italians out, Poland would declare the Austro-
Hungarian occupation of its land Faulty, reclaiming them and not pushing any further.
The Austro-Hungarians, Not in a Position to fight another front, would have to agree to
this. However, With the Rising Tensions in Italy, the Pope would soon be restored in
Italy, and not wanting the Socialists in Italy to gain power, they would back the Austrians
in their Advances into the mainland. The Austro-Hungarians, while unstable and weak,
would try and hold their own against the Italians bashing against them, which while it did
cause major casualties to the italian lines, it did force many Austrian troops off of the
other fronts. and Russia, Seeing this as a time to strike against the Austrians, would make
a final desperate attempt to make solid progress, pushing the Austrians a large majority
out of Galicia-Lodermaerina, and setting their lines up. However, the Russians would see
themselves heavily weakened by the Germans, and because of this and the fact that the
Russians had no supply, the Austrians would be able to force the Russians out of their
lands. and on March 3rd 1918, the Treaty of Brest-litovsk would be signed, Ending the
Eastern Front for the Central Powers and Relieving the Austrians. However, The Treaty
would see the Austrians lose all of their gains they had made that year and causing major
backlash against the German Support within Austria, however the Russians would now
no longer hold onto what they had taken, instead they were now occupied by the
Ukrainians. And with the Polish state now under firm Hands, they would demand The
Austrians to renounce their claim on their lands, and with the Austrians in no shape to
disagree, the Austro-Polish war would end with a Polish Victory, Causing even more un-
rest and Stability issues within Austria. Leading through 1918 - 1920, the Austrians
would find themselves at a state of relative peace, seeing the italians defeated and
embroiled in civil war, austria wouldn’t push any further and would simply declare their
part done in the war. However, due to all of these massive amounts of Ethnic Disgrace
and Favoring, Nationalism at an all time high, and the Hungarians and Czechs sick of
Austria, The Austro-Hungarian Rebellion would soon begin on March 3rd 1920. The
Czechians would declare independence from Austria first, this would then be followed by
Hungary. On March 17th, The Austrians, Seeing how weak they truly were, would sue
for peace with the Czechs and hungarians. The start of the Budapest conference would be
on March 25th. For the next 3 months, the nations of Austria, Hungary and Czechia
would argue in the peace deal. The Czechians would want to fully annex all of the
Sudetenland and Slovakia, the Hungarians wanted to annex bits of Austria and Slovenia,
and the Austrians wanted to simply keep their lands. After 2 more months, the End of the
Budapest conference would be announced. The Only real changes made to each nation
was an agreement to not fight with one another, and to try and economically work with
each other sometime in the future. However, after the Budapest Conference, Hungary
would experience a massive surge of Nationalism and Resistance in Slovakia,
Transylvania and the Banat. The Austrians would see the Hungarian’s problems, but
would decide to stay out of the affair. And on September 7th 1922, The Kingdom of
Hungary would collapse. This would be seen and felt by many nations, as with the
Independence of slovakia and Transilvania, and The banat being annexed into serbia, the
True ethnic divide within the balkans would be realized. Not much longer after this
however, the Austrians would offer their hand to help the Hungarians, stating that while
they may have had sour relations in the past, striving for a future where both states are
alive and well is much more important. and Hungary, with no real other option
considering that they are now in an overall downturn, would agree to the Austrians offer.
This offer would end the Hostile relations between both nations and the establishment of
a NAP and an Economical Integration Act between the two would further cement their
relations for the foreseeable future. And finally, in 1923 the Great war would somewhat
officially end, however not all would be good. Following this massive collapse of a
European powerhouse economically and militarily, many nations in Europe would face
massive amounts of mourning for the loss of the great empire, as they were a major
balance in Europe not just for the Russians, but the Germans and ottomans. And with the
Balkans now extremely unstable, in an economic downturn and just in a horrible state,
many smaller countries would seek the protection of larger ones, being part of influence
spheres and becoming puppets. In 1925, the Austrian and Hungarian U.N.I.T.Y act would
be announced. U.N.I.T.Y stands for: Undivided, National, Integrated, Tested, Youth. This
act would be made to ENSURE the Long Standing Relations between both austria and
hungary, and to make sure that both nations wouldn’t ever really try and fight one
another, due to the U.NI.T.Y act influencing both sides’s youth, and if a war WERE to
occur it would mostly favor the AUSTRIANS in terms of actual power.
United Kingdom
Ireland
Everything in Ireland went historically until 1919, when the IRA launched attacks
in Ulster, after the death of 4 british civilians, and 7 officers, Britain harshened
occupation, executing sinn fein leaders and supporters. In 1920 a full revolt had
started, with Britain having more trouble in Europe they did not focus on the Irish
as much. On September 2nd, British occupation troops killed 30 suspected IRA
members, 3 of which were under the age of 16. The massacre was followed by 3
other massacres killing sinn fein leaders, suspected IRA members, and protesters
throughout the month. By that time the revolt had mostly been mopped up, but the
massacres caused the IRA and new volunteers to start attacking any British soldier
seen on the street. On December 11th, an agreement was made with the british.
The British agreed to give Irish independence but keep Northern ireland. The Irish
got a large portion of protestant majority land. In 1934, Ireland got into a minor
conflict with the British, not gaining or losing anything there was a status quo,
though the British lost almost double the amount of men, and Ireland gained lots of
equipment.
Ottomans
The Ottoman Empire (1299-1918), once a world superpower, began to see its decline
during the late 1800s, with the loss of Romania and Bosnia to secessionist movements
and annexations. Fast Forwarding to late 1911, the Kingdom of Italy, looking to expand
its colonial holdings, would invade Ottoman Libya, and end the war swiftly with an
Italian victory. One year later, the Ottomans would find even more troubles in the
Balkans. With the First Balkan War beginning, the Ottomans would quickly retreat
outside of Constantinople. And let the Bulgarians, Serbs, Albanians, and Greeks revolt
against Ottoman influence, and declare themselves free from their rule. But, to the
Ottomans' relief, the Second Balkan War would begin soon after, with Serbs, Romanians
and Greeks wanting to claim land that Bulgaria took from them during the peace
conference. The Ottomans, seeing this as an opportunity, invaded Bulgaria along with the
other Balkan nations, and occupied a small strip of land in southern Bulgaria. Had the
Ottomans finally gotten out of their collapsing state? The answer is no. On June 28th,
1914, Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, would be assassinated by a Serbian
terrorist, causing turmoil and chaos throughout Europe. With major powers such as
Germany, France, and Russia mobilizing quickly, the Ottomans began to ramp up their
military industry, and began to modernize their already outdated military. With a list of
demands from Austria being refused by Serbia, WW1 began.
The Ottomans remained neutral for the first year of the war, until early 1915, when the
Ottomans, wanting revenge for the Balkan Wars, launched a raid on the Russian Fleet,
leading to war between the two parties. The Ottomans then joined the Central Powers.
With 2 exposed fronts in Egypt and Kuwait, the Ottomans were quick to lose most of
their southern holdings, and at the same time lost a lot of land to the Russians in the
north. This led to the Turkish populace being angered by the loss of land. The populace
blamed these losses on the Armenians, leading to the mass genocide of native Armenians
in Turkey, this was called the Armenian Genocide. The Ottoman Empire suffered
numerous losses throughout 1916 and 1917, being pushed out of the Sinai Desert, and
having many losses at Gallipoli. The Ottoman army was battered and bruised, and could
not fight much longer. In the midst of the chaos, a revolutionary by the name of Mustafa
Kemal Pasha, launched a successful coup against the Ottoman government, and signed a
treaty with the entente on February 23rd 1919. This peace treaty stated that the Ottoman
Empire would be demilitarized, would lose all of its holdings in the middle east, Israel
and Palestine would be given their appropriate lands, France would receive a colony in
Syria, while an Arab Federation would be created in Iraq and Jordan. In the north,
Armenia and Kurdistan would gain independence.
France

In 1919 a coup by Petain installed a military government, “for the

security of the Nation ''. fought the war til a stand still. 1925 after the
end of the war holds elections Petain wins election with 71% of the
Vote. 13% for the Popular front, 11% for National Front an 2% for other
minor Parties
1930 election Petain wins election with 78% of the Vote. 10% for the
Popular front, 7% for National Front an 2% for other minor Parties
Election coming up in 1935. People are mad at Petain for 15 years of
dictatorship. The election will be rigged with Petain winning whoever
you choose as victor in the election event.
Ukraine
Don and Kuban

Bolsheviks
Belgium
During the great war, Belgium would stay neutral for almost a year, having
positive relations with both sides of the conflict though not allowing trade into
germany. On March 12th Belgium was invaded by the German Empire, the nation
collapsed almost instantly, with German troops in Brussels on April 2nd and
crossing the border into France by june. After the surrender of the Entente,
Belgium would lose territory to Germany and get a more pro German government
while keeping independence.

March on brussels
On February 3rd 1924 over 600 people, men women and even some children
marched to the capitol building demanding the resignation of the king. Some
radicals and some who just wanted change were sent to prison or fined uneeding
amounts of money.

Antwerp revolts
On September 14th 1931 around 200 armed men took control of a mansion with
several of King Leopold IIIs friends and advisors. now known as the antwerp
revolts, 4 incidents similar to the september revolt would happen in antwerp. king
Leopold III abdicated in 1929. After the power vacuum, several radicals attempted
to take power. In 1932 a man named Aernou Gillot took power as a dictator and
cut ties with the germans.

Gillot's reign
Now, under the rule of Aernou gillot, an anti-monarchist and anti communist, he
killed loyalists to the Kaiser, and slaughtered communist sympathizers. One
famous example, the Roeselare massacre, a group of military police directly under
the command of Gillot, killed 33 suspected communists, and 14 monarchists.
Spain:
In the great war, Spain had stayed neutral for 2 years before aligning with the
central powers. In 1920 they would officially join the war, catching the French off
guard and capturing basque regions. On July 1st, Porto was occupied by the
Spanish and Morocco was fully under Spanish occupation. In 1921 the Spanish had
occupied a large portion of southern occitania. In 1923 at the end of the great war,
Spain had annexed Morocco and some of the basque region in france. The Spanish
government was in a very bad shape, with crazy massacres after violent
demonstrations, Spain was set for a civil war. In the civil war the republicans and
nationalists are both possible rebels, with anarchists and french agressions as high
contenders for a spanish collapse, will spain survive?
Sweden:
Despite staying Neutral in the great war, The Kingdom of Sweden and its nordic Brethren
did not escape unharmed from the times of conflict, as most of the Nordic ports were
caught behind the British blockades. This led to multiple bread riots in Sweden and the
rise of a stronger workers movement. In 1931 military force was used against a workers
protest in the Region of Ådalen, 4 workers and an innocent bystander dying, leading to an
escalation in the workers movement, there were multiple investigations into what
happened by different people on different sides of the conflict but none were satisfactory
to every side. The escalation of the workers conflict this created caused further
polarisations, this has led many to believe that the election of 1936 will be another
Cossack election, the election of 1928 also called the cossack election had many attack
posters liking the other party with the 2 sides of the Russian Civil War, and it seems like
they will run similar ads in this election season playing on the events of 31. SDAP is
accusing AVF for being fascist scum and elitist while AVF is saying a vote for SDAP is
like a vote for stealing your property and a vote for SDAP is a vote for Milan.

Norway:
Like its nordic Brethren Norway stayed neutral during the great war but it favored the
British, though the Norwegians continued to export fish to both sides until the british sent

Brittany:

The Federal Republic of Brittany was created after the great war. The newly independent
state was allied with Germany. The first Election in late 1923 was won by the Libertarian
party, who promised a more independent nation. The Libertarian party (White Rose Party
or FRB) moved away from the Reichspakt, becoming a neutral nation in western europe.
The second election in 1925 was won by the Social Democrat party (Breton Socialist
Party or PSB) was focused on building more infrastructure and securing the nation.

The Rise of Communism

In Brittany, the idea of radical ideologies was not very popular. but in 1926, there was a
famine that killed up to 20000 people. Britney did not trade with many nations, It was
one of the most neutral countries in the world. After the famine, Brittany established
better ties with France, Germany, and Russian breakaway states. After the opening up of
the country the government was more obviously corrupt, in 1927, the PSB won again. It
was found that there was intense corruption and voter fraud. Many people believed the
government was unreliable and illegitimate. There was a revolt in the capital of Rennes
and president Solenn's murder, the provisional government was in control, and when an
election was held on who to put to power, the people voted for communism.

The Commune Of Brittany

After the revolt, the Commune of Brittany consolidated power and only maintained the
power in the nation for 3 years. In 1930, the leader, chairman Melo died from lung cancer
and was replaced by chairman Pierig Feinsenn. Feinsenn was a military industrialist. He
funded uprisings in normandy that failed, causing france to occupy eastern Brittany
before demanding repoperation, which were paid off. Now, in 1935 the road for Britney
can go in any direction.

Azerbaijan:

During the flames of The Great War, Azerbaijan was under the influence of a foreign
Tsar. Feeling backed by the revolution in Russia, The council of Azerbaijani
Independence convened on November 14th, 1917 to declare a free Azerbaijan.

The Quba Months

This stability would only last a short while, With the new state threatened by The Russian
population within the country. The City of Quba erupted into violence after some
Azerbaijanis started to violently suppress Russians in the town. Violence broke out
between native Baku Azerbaijan and Russians fighting for control of the country. This
led to what was called The Shabran Massacre where thousands of Russians were rounded
up and shot.

First Nagorno - Karabakh War

During the Quba Months, Some Azerbaijani nationalists had taken the opportunity to
slaughter nearby Armenians in the disputed territory of Nagorno - Karabakh. The
slaughter infuriated the Armenians, and they demanded for Azerbaijan to renounce all
claims on the territory in compensation. Azerbaijani President Mahmmad Amin
Rasulzade rejected the ultimatum. On the 20th of July, 1918 the Republic of Armenia
declared war on Azerbaijan. The Armenian Army struck crucial defensible sites that were
critical to the enemy. By Early 1919, The army had pushed in far enough for protests to
begin within Azerbaijan. Rasulzade accepted the Treaty of Batumi on The 2nd of
September, 1919.
Rasulzade Regime
After the disastrous war, Rasulzade turned on his supporters and violently cracked down
on the protests. The last of these demonstrations happened near Baku State University
where students defaced statues of Rasulzade. He began to use the lucrative Baku oil
fields to keep oligarchs in power and to enrich his coffers. In the 1924 redraft of the
constitution, He amended it so that elections would not be won through the citizen but
through executive control. Now power in Azerbaijan is controlled through bribery and
relations with Rasulzade, not by the people as he promised. Hope for the people is not
over yet. Some have assembled into a secret group known as The azadlıq və demokratiya
cəbhəsi. They seek to overthrow Rasulzade through an opportunity. In paranoia
Rasulzade has organized a parade to commemorate the new years of 1935. The rebels
plan to assassinate him, But the oligarch controlled Baku regions may respond with civil
war.

Karelia:

During the Russian civil war, Karelia declared independence and quickly united the
Karelian land, during the war Karelia was aligned with the whites and marched south
along the border with finland. Finland and Karelia were allies since they first declared
independence, Finland would send supplies through the border, and Karelia would invade
the soviets. After the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Karelia would finally gain their
independence. Karelia would continue its alliance with the finnish. in 1931 there was a
fire in the capitol building, killing the president, several parties ran for office. the 2
established parties that already had been running, the nationalist party, the socialist party,
the bolshevik party, and the monarchist party. After the harsh elections of 1931, the
monarchist party had won, causing a thick split in the country, those who thought that the
monarchy should win, those who thought that the tsar should win, and those who thought
that the monarchy was legitimate and should at most be a constitutional monarchy. an
armory was raided and civil conflict was barely avoided, with the abdication of the
monarch, democracy had made it back. with the 1935 election coming soon, who will
win over the people.

Turkey, Iran, and Kurdistan:

In 1926, Turkey and Iran came together to sign a treaty of friendship. This treaty signing
devolved into bickering and arguments over Kurdish autonomy. Turkey, after the Piran
Rebellion of 1925 was very against an independent Kurdish state. Otherwise, in Iran, the
government had been making deals with Kurdish leaders. The Iranian government
supported Kurdish independence, holding a referendum for independence in irani
Kurdistan states. The referendum succeeded and Iran guaranteed independence by 1932.
In 1929 the treaty of Tabriz was signed, a legal document reaffirming the grantee of
Kurdish independence in 1932. In 1930 an Iranian funded uprising near the Iranian
border in Turkey was crushed. this after the Berxwedan uprising in 1930, skirmishes
across the turkish - iranian border skyrocketed. in february 1931 turkish military sent
1200 soldiers into iran to capture kurdish rebels, after crossing the border they were
stopped by Iranian border guards, the border guards attempted to send the turkish troops
back. Then a Turkish man fired a warning shot in the air, the Iranian guards, believing the
Turks had opened fire, shot back. The incident, called by officials the "Sero indecent"
after the name of the town it took place in, had happened in, caused a small scale conflict
in the region. The government in Iran, shocked by the news, sent an estimated 200,000
men to the border to defend. The Turks, seeing the escalation of the battle, sent their own
army to the area. In 1932, the war was ongoing, the Iranian government allowed a
protectorate of Kurdistan on the border with turkey. The war escalated after the release of
Kurdistan, as the Turks thought that the Kurds would try to take all of the Turkish lands
that were ethnically Kurdish. The Turkish made a major offensive into the Kurdish
protectorate, taking half of the nation's land. But in Kurdistan, Turkey had no supply
routes nor did they know anything about the land. They were starving in the desert and
the Kurds pushed them back to the border. The Iranian army sent a large portion of their
army to the counter offensive. After the counter offensive the army just kept going into
turkey. After the Turkish loss in the battle of Tatvan the Turkish government started
peace negotiations. After the treaty of Isfahan in late 1933, the Kurdish protectorate was
fully free, and gained land in turkey. The Kurdish state has had a provisional government
and an election planned for 1935, the rise of nationalism in Kurdistan has been rising,
will the war for Kurdistan be continued, or will Kurdistan finally have peace?
