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 neighboring 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.

With constant threats coming from Serbia, vowing to re-claim Kosovo, Richard opted to use diplomatic relations, but Serbia declared war in 2049. Serbian troops storm northern Kosovo, and invade southward. The Imperial Army was pushed back and the Serbs rapid advance surprised the Albanians.

In December 29th, 2049, a few days after the war began, Croatia, Hungary, and Turkey declared war on Serbia. the Facist Greeks also joined the war against the Albanian Kingdom. Greek troops storm South Albania, but cannot seize the city of Vlora, as the Illyrian Imperial Army destroyed Greek forces in thr Battle in Vlora that occured in February 11th, 2050.

In June 2050, the Croats invade Central Serbia, and the Hungarians invade Vojvodina, seizing all of the area and defeating the Serbian forces. In August 2050, Greek forces invaded Illirida province in Illyria (located in Macedonia). The Illyrians quickly recovers and pushed back the Greeks.

In October 27th, 2050, Turkey invaded Thrace and defeated the Greeks. Eventually Turkey launched air strikes on Cyprus on November 1st, 2050 seizing the island completely on December 14th, 2050

Eventually, Serbia, already weakened by the Croats and Hungarians surrendered in  March of 2051.

The Golden Dawn facist party of Greece, however would have to be destroyed. Eventually, Bulgaria joined the Miken Pact and invaded Greece in April 2051. Once reaching Athens, the Albanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Hungarian, and Turkish forces began defeating the last of the fascists. The Golden Dawn leader Alexi Tsintsabis was arrested and imprisoned. The Greek Orthodox Church was ousted out of power, and the Greek pagans took power. Fascist Greeks ceased to exist in June 2051. Greece was now a kingdom that included democratic things included.

Eventually, the Serbs backed by Russia forced the Croats out of Central Serbia, but could not retake Vojvodina from Hungary. The UN announced that the war will have to end, or American intervention would have to occur.
