(Xenophon) Is One Land Mass Not Enough?
The leader of the Italy (or what used to be Italy) was in complete utter outrage. Turkey came in and forced an all out surrender of Italy with no warning. Turkey just wanted power and it got it. But even after taking Italy, its leader decided it had to have more. Being greedy as usual. The greedy Turkey leader went after the last Italian supply center of Tunis. This wiped Italy out. In my opinion, there was no need for this annihilation of the Italian nation. Even after taking Italy's homeland, Turkey still desired more. Italy never did anything to Turkey. Russia, at around the same time, decided to go after England without warning. Russia desired more which happens in almost all of history. In this part, Russia wanted more supply centers, more armies, and more fleets even if that broke alliances. Both leaders were determined to get as many supply centers as possible. This is a good strategy if you were not concerned about peace at the time. In these years, Germany and Austria remained completely neutral. You can see this in records as they avoided all conflict and at the same time never got attacked. Although they did not get involved with conflict, they sustained a moderate number of supply centers. In the end of 1906, the nations decided on a draw and a truce. End of everything.
