Oh, Bengal took over after being given independence, not all of Tibet much many of the southern areas, they are currently trying to reunify India.

Even if the Great War is split up into a series if smaller conflicts, it shouldn't change the progress that has already been done in the IC. It would just supply the backstory with more details.

It'd be more for the apps and relations between the powers, but Mars has gone all authoritarian about it so I'm resigning from the RP.

Uh, Hesse-Kessel belongs to Germany. You could be a constituent country though.

And you should really check the bottom of the last page.

It seems like I'm a puppet here.

Ok, checked it. @Your post, I never agreed to TWENTY YEARS OF STRAIGHT WAR. I agreed to a general outline in which it was Russia and Austria-Hungary v Britain, France, and the Ottomans beginning with the Russian invasion of Constantinople/Istanbul, as well as the whole Frederick III in Germany thing. We never went into detail about the war itself.
(I only suggested breaking it up into smaller wars after you decided on the whole 20 years of war thing.)

The backstory of an RP is important. If I find it unrealistic and the OP won't change it, I don't participate in the RP. Anyhow, Mars agreed to allow it to be edited, so I'm staying.

I mainly only have one issue with the backstory. I don't think it's reasonable for Russia to be able to annex the entirely of the Ottoman Empire after a war (or series of) that really sounds like it ended in a stalemate for both sides Other than that I have no real issue with anything. It just seems a tad unreasonable that they could accomplish annexing an entire empire at once after barely winning. Mind you the Ottos were a rather large empire.

... Perhaps that's why the War went on for 20 years, because there is no way I was going to war and not getting at least Anatolia!

shouldn't it be a wasteland due to 20 years of war?
Political and religious views don't define whether you are a good or bad person, unless you want to actively hurt everyone who doesn't believe what you say.

Wars don't go on for 20 years post-medieval times, unless they are a series of wars following up on the gains/losses of the last war.

But you literally gained the entire empire. Nothing more, nothing less.

Technically, I gained Anatolia, and my Brother Gained the Rest of it as Byzantia, but yes, I did.

The war could be split into two, potentially three conflicts. The first conflict over Russia's control of part of Anatolia. The second finalizing its control over the region, and the third Italian attempts of taking Constantinople for itself? I dunno. Something like this could work.

That could work. And then you also throw in the Balkan Revolutions and the Italian-Austrian War at the end.

You can have GB and the Ottos vs Russia in the first.

GB, France, and the Ottos vs Russia and A-H in the second.

And potentially Italy and France vs A-H in the third. France of course would contribute little but perhaps moral to the Italians, it'd mainly be between Italy and A-H over perhaps Austria's claims to Venice? Russia could also partake early on in the third but they'd have three wars and some unhappy Muslims to deal with, so participation would be brief in conflict three.

The entire conflict could still be called the Great War as it was essentially a period of one war right after another all of which have similar or the same goals, with brief periods of "peace" between them. While it may not be entirely accurate, if it's not the formal name of the war and is usually used to show how awful it was, then that works all the same. What would the formal name be? Meh, not my job. I'm just the Pope after all.

Also, if the war went on long enough Germany would probably be forced to choose a side, so you guys can add that.

Meanwhile In Asia, Bengal was enjoying independence as it went down the coasts conquering and unifying India and Burma.
