Kingdom of Greece 1900
The Kingdom of Greece is in controlled Turmoil. Just 3 years ago, the Brave and outnumbered soldiers of Hellas lost a war against their occupiers, the Ottoman Caliphate. Though the naval aspect went well.
The Kingdom faces two rival ideologies- The King of Greece, George I, and the Anti-Monarchist Venizelists, who have yet to fully appear as their leader is currently in Crete.
The Kingdom this year pursues propaganda, pursues the same way it won independence- remembering Ancient Greece, its glories, and that we can reattain our might.
Domestic policy: Financial incentives are begun for Greek families to have children. The Government hopes this will increase population, which is at 5 million.
Military policy:
The Greeks were outmatched in this latest war due to inferior Arms. Thus, She purchases the "Spanish Mauser" the M1893. Or at least some similar weapon.
The Greeks purchase 1 Maine Virginia class Battleship from USA, to be named Morea. It also purchases from UK 1 Canopus class battleship, to be named Constantine.

Greece claims Ottoman lands. The Ottomans claim all of Greece.
I thought the war-like situation ended. But no, he still has claims? And Britain forced me to drop my claims on Greece!

When Greece has 170000 men while you have only 60000. God how? You wildly underestimated your army size. World war 1 Starting army size Turkey: 210,000 Greece: 230,000 Second Balkan War army size (more than just fighting Greek front) Turkey: 336,000 Greece: 125,000 Greco-Turkish War Turkey: 120,000 Greece:75,000 Only odd thing is my army growing so fast in 3 years without me leading the expansion. Otherwise its all legit. |

Also, Imperial RomeBall , @khurramzafar , about Crete. Crete in 1900 is the State of Crete, a de jure Ottoman Autonomous territory under PU of Greece and garrisoned by the UK ( Frederick the Great ), France ( Jean-Luc Picard ), Italy ( Desophaeus ), AH ( Yi Sun Sin ) and Russia ( Laurent de Gouvion ), but de facto a independent nation under Greek PU. IRL the Ottos didn't want to take it because... you know, the matter of angering 5 nations isn't god for the Otto's chances of survival. |

France 1900
January: France, in light of the catastrophe in China, and German aggression, imposes a draft. The army size grows to 2 million. It is set to reach 5 million by year's end
February-June: 25,000 Frenchmen, and 10 battleships, head to Port Arthur. There, they rendezvous with other national armies to join the Expedition against the Boxers.
March: 5,000 Frenchmen are on their way to the East. They are finally deployed in newly-acquired French Formosa
October: The Military is divided into 5 Armies:
Armée du Nord: Deployed near Belgium and the Channel. Functions as a reserve to the Armée d'Est, but trained for deployment overseas. Size: 500,000
Armée d'Est: Deployed along the German border, and deeper in. Trained both for defensive warfare, and a swift offense across the Rhine. Size: 1,000,000
Armée des Alpes: Deployed along the Italian and Swiss borders. May function as a reserve to the Armée d'Est. Size: 500,000
Armée des Pyrénées: Deployed along the Spanish border. Size: 500,000
Armées d'Outre-Mer: Deployed overseas. Size: 500,000
The remaining 2,000,000 are involved in the navy, or the reserves.

Greece claims Ottoman lands. The Ottomans claim all of Greece. I thought the war-like situation ended. But no, he still has claims? And Britain forced me to drop my claims on Greece! Wait! You claim all of Greece? We are going to have problems. (plus Alexander the great was born in the north of Greece, and Crete was greek before greeks existed. You know it mine. I will not rescind claims as a sovereign nation just because you can't handle and want a war) |

That feeling when UK was nice enough to support you against aggression, yet you can't give up claims on areas which are rightfully yours.
Claims are always made. No need to go to war because some exist in some book.

USA turns 1900:
In light of recent events in China, the USA sends approximately 6000 men and two battleships as part of the Chinese Relief Expedition to counter the insurgency in CHina and to rescue our besieged nationals.
The USA gifts two battleships: 1 Virginia-class to Greece, and 1 Maine-class to the Ottos.
The USA also decides to join with the Cretan State garrison and sends two infantry battalions (600 men) to participate in the international garrisoning of Crete.
The USA has interests in building a canal in Panama.
(TBC)

In the Greco Turkish war, Epirus and Thessally was the 2 main fronts, and the Greek army was stationed there. Thus, I will continue to use Epirus to refer to the western mainland under Greek control. Thank you for the description of my state. |
