"About twenty eight years ago, the very event that perhaps shaped the the world happened. The Turks decided that it is a good idea to unleash hell on the demonstrators who wanted freedom(POD). They thought that it was a good idea to send em to their graves. This very thing, however, are just plain, condensed stupidity in its most, uttermost form. Like, what in god's name they are thinking? Those very bullets, perhaps, shaped the world forward. The collapse of the Ottomans eventually results on the shit on the Balkans, the shit on the Balkans leads to the Second Great War, and eventually, the revolutions. Civil wars, all those shizzles. Many states have been formed now. The old world have been dead. The Italians fell under the rule of a resurgent, Roman-Empire nostalgia-filled low-class people(1). The Bulgarians claimed Constantine's throne. The Russians are broken into pieces(2), with the Turks, ironically, being the one in the better places, as the Turkestanis made their way even past Tehran(3). Hell's rampaging on every continent. The Americas saw things that could make Bolivar proud, the Orient became the clear definition of hell, Europe is a lesser hell, while Africa, well, is still Africa, in a sense. Now, this letter are made as a reminder on how what hell looked like. This hell, called China, awaits.

Somewhere along the line, i hoped that the world is not this shitty, but alas. What can i do? I'm just a volunteer, fighting for the kicks of it. Fighting for a ideology that i dont necessarily believes. Fighting for something that i knew could lead me into the actual, literal hell.-if it does exist. So, what am i doing in here? Being a big pawn on a bigger conflict. What am i doing? Who am i actually? A mere a dust in the wind, perhaps."

(POD).Yes. The POD is essentially the 1908 Young Turks rebellion gone bad. Gone extremely bad. This very act eventually sparked a civil war, on which leads into the first, ATL Balkan War.
