Description As the Ottoman Empire lay shattered and broken after the Treaty of Sevres, the turkish nation was brought to its knees. Its Pride crushed and its dignity reduced to little more than dust.

As a weak and frail Ottoman Sultanate stumbled through a new and strange world, many began to look to the West for inspiration for how to reclaim the fallen empire's prestige and as the 30's dawned upon the turkish nation, the answer became all too clear. 

The formerly humiliated Germany and Italy rose like eagles from the ashes ready to assert themselves upon a world that was weak and unstable, Turkey began to feel that maybe it to could be reborn through the fires of Fascism and rise once more to claim its rightful place on the world stage.

In the 1935 Municipal elections the TNFP (Turkish National Fascist party), won the most seats in the turkish parliament but failed to gain the sweeping majority they so desperately wanted. Forced into a coalition with the conservatives, while shameful but not devastating, this would not stop the Party from beginning to implement its view of Turkey: One Nation, indivsible under Allah.

As the autarkic policies of the party began to bear fruit and the straits succesfully remilitarised, the Party's populairty skyrocketed and by the time 1938 rolled around; the writing was on the wall. After securing the majority they needed, the last chains of the past were shattered, the Sultan was deposed, the Assembly disbanded and all who stood in the way of the TNFP were cast aside and so with the death of the Ottoman Sultanate, the Turkish National State was born.

Turkey was the proud 3rd Signature to the Pact of Steal and so withit the Axis marched towards a new order. Many lives were lost, and many more were injured in the face of this truly global war. It would all be worth it though.

With the signing of the treaty of Paris and Yekaterinburg, the humiliation of Sevres was finally undone and Turkey was rewarded handsomely. As new territories fell under its control, the future only looked bright for Turkey and her "eternal allies".

As 1958 dawns, the world looks increasinly uncertain. As an increasingly unstable Reich risks civil war and its Italian ally having all but deserted Turkey, many enemies old and new have begun to question whether Turkey can keep its position as the "Guardian of the Middle east". All that can be said is that regardless of its situation, Turkey will fight whether it lives or dies.
