     Let's be honest. This won't be easy. The Balkan Wars were chaotic and dramatic. You'll soon see why. But we're going to cover it today. Why did each war happen? Let's find out on Historical Facts.  Part 1 - The First Balkan War (1912 - 1913)     By 1912, some non-Turkish people in the Balkans already had their independence. Those states were Montenegro, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece. Despite that, however, the Ottoman Empire was still holding on to some of its Balkan lands. So Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Greece formed the Balkan League and declared war on the Ottoman Empire.      Each nation had its own interests, some even clashing with the other interests. Bulgaria wanted Macedonia, Thessaloniki, and Thrace. Greece also wanted Thrace, plus parts of Anatolia. Serbia wanted Macedonia. And while Montenegro wanted some land, I'm not actually sure what that land is called. Anyway, the First Balkan War commenced.    ...

     If you're like me and know history from the ancient world to the present, the term "Macedonia" might sound confusing to you. That's because Macedonia is a region once contested by foreign powers, yet is now also a country. If you don't know what Macedonia (or now, North Macedonia) even is, don't worry. Today, we'll talk about what it is.      If you studied history chronologically, you probably first heard the term "Macedonia" when you studied Alexander the Great. His empire controlled a significant part of Europe and Asia, with its capital at the ancient city of Babylon. However, in 323 BCE, Alexander died, and his empire was split. The Balkan part of the empire became known as the Macedonian dynasty.      Starting in around 170 BCE, the Roman Empire conquered Macedonia. For several years, it was under Roman rule. However, the Ottoman Empire conquered Macedonia towards the end of the Middle Ages.       Macedonia woul...

     Welcome back to the Sesame War! Well, the war has already ended, but this is the aftermath. Let's see how the new nations of Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia dealt with the neo-Sesames.      In Bohemia, the Friends of Abby party currently holds the chancellor, Frank Arthur. Now, he actually negotiated in 2021 about reunification with Moravia. But the Treaty of Prague that divided Bohemia-Moravia in 1963 said that Bohemia and Moravia "shall never reunite to prevent Sesame Street's return." The name of Arthur's party explicitly states that they are friends of Abby Cadabby. (Yes, I have been spelling her name wrong the whole time. Haha!) But the treaty had already been signed. So the president of Moravia, Evan King, rejected the offer.      However, despite Moravia having an anti-Sesame president, the senate of Moravia has never had an election where their two neo-Sesame parties, Super Sesame and Cadabby Group, were absent. Moreover, they're ...

     I know I've been leaving you hanging on the Sesame War, but I guarantee you that Part 4 will come out soon. With that clear, welcome to Part 1 of my alternate First World War. The alliances will be very different here. Let's go, Enotitans! Also, please read until the end for a very important announcement.     In 1866, the Austro-Prussian War was fought. (That happened in real life.) After that, Austria and Prussia (later the German Empire) both competed to become the superior Germanic nation.      Then, in 1870, the Franco-Prussian War was fought. (This was also a real war.) But since the French leader was Napoleon III, we actually have Great Britain joining on the side of Prussia here, making for our first fictional event. The Treaty of Normandy was signed a year later, giving Alsace-Lorraine to the newly formed German Empire, and Brittany to the United Kingdom. Later that year, the Germans and Brits signed the London Pact, which was like th...
