Greco-Ottoman War
|
Background
The Greek-Ottoman Rivalry, one of the most defining conflicts in EarthPol history, first ignited during the Great War of Version 4. Tensions between the two powers only escalated after defeat of Deutschland at the Siege of Linz, where SQPR forces secured a decisive victory. As Version 5 (V5) began, the wounds of V4 had not healed — and the Greek people, especially their leadership, were determined to seek revenge and restore their honor.
Over the course of several weeks, Greece focused heavily on military buildup, recruiting fighters, constructing infrastructure, and preparing for future conflicts. However, this preparation soon led to boredom and unrest within Greece’s powerful PvP clan, Vespa, whose members grew impatient and began demanding action. Many Vespa fighters pushed for an immediate offensive, regardless of strategy or diplomacy.
Despite early efforts to delay aggression, King arescartier eventually gave in to the pressure and moved forward with war planning. The target was chosen carefully: Islamic Egypt, a nation directly south of Greece and a loyal ally of the Ottomans, presented both a strategic and symbolic opportunity. Striking Islamic Egypt would send a clear message to the Ottomans and fulfill Vespa’s desire for battle. Thus began the preparations for what would become the Siege of Giza, the first major battle of the Greco-Ottoman War in V5.
