## Conflicts

### **Mediterranean War**

The RMC had a land dispute with Morocco, Austria was quick to back the RMC. When the conflict broke out into war, the Spanish joined in on the side of the RMC. Australasia sent an expeditionary force to help Morocco. At the same time, Austria sent an Expeditionary force to The RMC. When the situation was rapidly devolving for Morocco, the Australasians went home despite the Austro-Italian plans to seek and destroy them. Just before Morocco fell, the UAR joined the war on their side, and the Moroccan king fled to the UAR. Joining under the promise of black gold, the AML joined on the side of The RMC. Together, Spain, Austria, The RMC, and The AML would form the European League, an anti-democratic, anti-fascist, anti-communist, strictly authoritarian alliance. During the invasion of the UAR, Austria would send air support, as well as drop paratroopers. A small Hungarian expeditionary force also participated in the invasion of Palestine. Eventually, the OGO would find and assassinate the Moroccan king in exile. The UAR, after a very long strung out conflict, would lose the war.

### **Chinese** **Civil War**

The Republic of China collapsed into civil war as tensions due to the election spiraled out of control, starting with the formation of an autonomous zone in Shanghai, followed by the formation of both leftist and rightist factions, and followed by the invasion of China by Mongolia, East Turkestan, and Tibet. The USAC has been splintered as Japan was puppeted by the Koreans, along with Guangzhou splitting from the USAC to form the Heavenly Kingdom.

The Second Spanish Empire was involved in this war. Spain funded the Chinese Conservative Party, in return for puppeting them. For much of the war the Spanish Puppeted Chinese Conservative Party expanded and was doing well, until the APTO backed RoC attacked and beat the Chinese Conservative Party.

The RoC was backed by the Australian Confederation and the rest of the APTO except for and later also by Korea. The APTO's involvement in the Chinese Civil War proved to be a major factor in the Republic of China's victory in that conflict.

### 1st Turkish Civil War

The 1st Turkish Civil War begun as the JDP, Turkey's new leading party erupted into civil war. The JDP recently won the Turkish election, and made Turkey into a dictatorship. The JDP also renamed Turkey to the Greater Ottoman Republic of Turkey which caused controversy. Multiple factions were involved, including the Second Spanish Empire, the Austrian State, the Greater Ottoman Republic of Turkey and many different rebel factions.
