Third Bulgarian-Turkish War

Third Bulgarian-Turkish War
This war was in the Rejuvenation Period between Turkey and Bulgaria (and its allies).

The Third Bulgarian-Turkish War has broken out because of a variety of reasons. The relation between Bulgaria and Göktürks, the Thrace Problem and the Göktürks' active efforts of imperialism.

Relation between Bulgaria and Göktürks, and the backstory of the Bulgarian-Turkish wars

Initially, when the two nations bordered each other, they got along well, siding with each other against in smaller scale wars. The beginning of the deterioration of the relations between the two nations was connected to the events that occured when the leader of Bulgaria left the server, in which duration when he was gone, The Göktürks seized the Bulgarian core region of Eastern Thrace. When the heated arguments broke out between the nations, the tensions and breakdown of diplomacy, finally erupted into The First Bulgarian-Turkish War. While being not as important, this war was chaotic and almost destroyed the either country entirely. After a brutal war, the Bulgarians won the war and would get to occupy Anatolia for a few days, until the upcoming installation of the new Göktürk nation. Eventually, the same story happened, and broke out, the Second Bulgarian-Turkish War. This war also ended in an eventual Bulgarian victory over the Göktürks. This war has completely devastated the two nation's relations, and when Göktürks occupied, yet again, the region of Eastern and Western Thrace, the Third Bulgarian-Turkish War broke out.

The war

The war broke out when the Turks, after refusing the Bulgarian ultimatum for the return of Thrace, invaded the rest of Bulgaria. In the ensuing battle, the Bulgarians fought hard, but it wasn't long until they were overrun by the outnumbering Turkish counterparts. They were forced to sign a treaty, that stipulated Turkish ownership of Thrace, but Bulgaria would never come to recognise any claims over the lands.

However, some time later, when the active provoking of either nation came to a breaking point, Bulgaria took the opportunity that Göktürks were only 1 people, and striked at the Göktürks. The following war was a total devastation of either country, but with Göktürks attacking faction art of Bulgaria, anti-Turkish sentiment skyrocketed, and with 3+ people coming to the help of Bulgaria, The Göktürks were very quickly overrun. After the capitulation of Ankara, the Göktürks have stopped resisting, and the Bulgarians and their allies against the Turkish behemoth divided Göktürk Anatolia, Bulgaria taking Thrace and Istanbul (later to be renamed Tsargrad), Italy taking some Mediterranean coast, Arabia taking Southeastern Anatolia and Azerbaijan, and African Union, getting the lion share and taking almost the entirety of the rest of Anatolia.

Results of the Third Bulgarian-Turkish War

The war brought with it huge destruction to all countries involved in it. While the clear winners were the Coalition (mostly Bulgaria, getting to take their claims back), the belief, and fear that the overwhelming Turkish presence within the KWW server will lead to the creation of another Turkic state, which will devour any nation by its wake, remains fresh, as ever.
