Divine Judgement

The world was changing. Empires that had existed and expanded for centuries were beginning to become buried beneath the sands of time. The Ottoman Empire was dead and gone. Its banners burned, and its heroes forgotten.

In its place, Turkey arose from the ashes, but within borders much smaller and more insignificant than it would have held in Bruno's past life. The Arab peoples had negotiated a united kingdom in the lands they were promised. The Levant, Syria, Palestine, the Sinai Peninsula, and Arabia proper all united under one king and one religion.

Persia had wisely watched the great powers wage war against one another, and was perhaps the only nation that was not suffering from some form of internal turmoil and thus incapable of joining for said reasons that wisely understood this was a war that would destroy the balance of power in this world.
