Fourth Balkan War

The Fourth Balkan War is a conflict that began in November 3rd, 2049 and ended in December 10th, 2052. It was a war between two sides, the first side being the Western Front and Orthodox Front. The Western Front consisted of the Illyrian Imperial Republic (also known as Imperial Albania), Croatian Kingdom, Hungarian Kingdom, and Turkey against the Facist Republic of Greece, Serbian Republic, and the Bulgarian Kingdom. It claimed the lives of hundred of thousands, and was considered to be a deadly war in recent history.

History
Through referendum, in 2043, the United Nations approved that Kosovo would join the Imperial Republic of Albania (or Illyria). This would sour tensions on neigboring Serbia, who was already enemies with the Albanians for many years. Feeling threatened by the more stronger Serbian Army, Emperor Richard held a secret meeting in Turkey to provide military assistance to stop the Serbs aggression. Turkey agreed, along with the Hungarian Kingdom, and Croat Kingdoms, and all countries signed the Miken Alliance.
