The Balkan Union(The balkan countries unite after the Balkan war)

I think that Sofia was second by population after Athens.I will fix the map with Ireland.Germany wants to take more lands from France,and I guess you are right about the UK.
Germany didn't really want more Frenchmen, they would be happy to lay the French low a turn them essentially into a vassal state but they didn't want much more land, if anything they would mostly take colonies.
Also this conflict looks awfully one sided, an Anglo-German-Russian alliance is about the most powerful alliance that could of existed at the time.

Should I change it?
 
It's up to you, I'm just letting you know it will be a fairly one sided war.

I guess that there's quite a sizeable possibility that the alliance would fracture and split apart - all three nations have some quarrel with the others (Britain and Germany are colonial and naval rivals; Germany and Russia have a long border and both want influence in the Balkans, although this setting will change that; and Russia and Britain are serious rivals in Afghanistan and Central Asia, whilst Japan (a British ally) and Russia were at war not too long ago). Good diplomacy by other states could definitely exploit that.

Good diplomacy by other states could definitely exploit that.
Potentially but the Friction Between Germany and Britain is often overstated, the Naval Race had already ended with German defeat and the could of rather easily come to terms over colonial spheres if pressed to.
Russia and Germany had no quarrel between them, Germany didn't actually want any of Russia's territory for themselves and the Germans also had little interest in the Balkans, it was Austria that came between them otl.
So really both Anglo-German and Russo-German alliance configurations are fairly stable, the Problem is the Anglo-Russian part of the alliance, they can ally given the right incentive but it's not likely to last, I personally am of the opinion that the anglo-Russian entente otl wasn't going to be renewed when it expired.

The Peace League(France,Austria-Hungary,Japan,Italy and the Ottoman Empire)decide to attack the OA on the 15th of February 1914 declaring that this is the only way to keep the peace in the world.The war starts when A-H and the Ottomans attack TBU.The Austrians move through Romania occupying the unprepared Romanians and reaching the weak positions of TBU.
CENTRAL FRONT

The Central Front is the front between A-H , the German Empire and The Russian Empire.The first battle is the battle near Cheb,Bohemia.The Russians attack Galicia and move through the San River.The Austrians have to abandon TBU offensive and some divisions have to go to the Central Front.Some Italian divisions help A-H.This is one of the biggest fronts in the war.
SOUTHERN FRONT

The Southern Front is the front between TBU,A-h and the Ottomans.The Austro-Hungarians don't attack for now because of the Germans and the Russians,but they sill have infantry and artillery regiments,including the Landswehr regiments.TBU has been disarmed,but with of the other OA countries they arm their people again.The Ottomans are preparing to attack ,which will result in one of the biggest battles in history,The Battle Of Constantinople.The Balkan Council says that it will never let the New Rome to fall back into the Ottoman Empire.Other OA countries go and help for the defenses of the Second Rome.
Western Theater

The western theater is a theatre of operations that encompassed at its greatest extent the entire frontier between France on one side and Germany and the UK on the other side.Germany's focus is on the Central Front,and France (with Italian support)decide that this would be a good opportunity to attack and in the first few days they advance into German territory.The British have to move through the English channel and the French are waiting for them in France,this means that they won't be able to advance for the first few months.
Eastern Front

The front between China and Japan.The Chinese attack Korea,but there are no big changes in the frontlines.
African Theater
The african theater will be the battles between the Ottomans and the British,but for now there are no battles.

The Battle of Constantinople
One of the bloodiest battles in history.No country woul let the other take the city again.
The town is littered with shells, bodies and weapons. Red, and silver are the new colors of what was once a serene, trading town, which has now become the stage of a terrible battle.The big cross on Hagia Sophia is now red because of the battle and the soldiers that tried to protect the church.
The air which would normally be rich in the scents and sounds of hard work is now glowing red with fire and thick with smoke, ash and embers, a sight of pure nightmares.

Two armies fight each other due to a difference in beliefs, but there's no hint of which side will win. The dead and wounded of one side are scattered across the town and the faces of the fighters are hopeful with their muscles tense and anxious and nervous, yet steady breathing, they push harder and harder on the enemy.

With a strong possibility of pain or death the other side ferociously battles their enemies. Some have succumbed to exhaustion and are sleeping amidst debris, rubble and their wounded, while others just wish all this was over.

The toll on both nature and humanity is immense. It'll likely take a lifetime before this town will have recovered. It's clear weaponry, rubble and blood have taken the place of parks, buildings and gardens.
The Soldiers of the Union manage to push the ottomans back,but this will be the first of many battles
Battle of Prague
The Germans continue to advance in Austria-Hungary and when they are close to Prague,they see the Austro-Hungarian trenchlines.They have to dig in and defend themselves.This will be a war of attrition.
France
The wars in here take a different approach and and aren' so static.The French win victory after victory,but the British invade.
Russia
The trench wars in here are more successful.The Austrians become weaker and weaker.
China
The Japanese are far more trained and destroy the Chinese armies.The Chinese might surrender soon.
 
1915
August von Mackensen(leading the German operations in the Balkans) creates the Mackensen offensive.The plan is to attack A-H occupied Romania and A-H and reach Vienna with TBU army and the 9th army which is the army that von Mackensen had command over.Initially the plan worked,they pushed the Austro-Hungarians out of Romania with Russian help,but stopped advancing in the middle of Hungary when the biggest TPL armies arrived to help A-H push the OA out of Austria-Hungary.The Germans on the German keep pushing into A-H as well.The Austrians are losing their hope.The Austro-Hungarians were dispaired of their offensive

The Russians help the Chinese push Japan out of Manchuria and turn the tide on the Eastern front.The Japanese(through propaganda)manage to gather a big army-The ground trembles as an army of 500,000 marches forward. An endless barrage of the sound of thousands of feet marching onwards, like a giant snake sliding smoothly across the lands.The front is lead by the infantry ready to fire.They're followed by cavalry armed with swords and rifles, who in turn are followed by the artillery armed with howitzers and in battle they would be accompanied by the Japanese Airforce.
The ranks are filled with many other regiments, including mercenaries and allied soldiers, including several defensive units, various charging units and various flanking units.
The war wasn't popular in Britain and after the casualties they back off from the war but are oficially stil part of the OA
The french advance came to a halt when they met the German Artillery
Tell me if you liked it and how can I make it better:)
 
rder to end the stalemate on the Central Front,The Germans had to invent a armoured car that can move through all types of terrain .The German engineers led by Joseph Vollmer created the Kaiserpanzer-a bigger version of the armoured car with a 57mm gun and many machine guns as a secondary weapon.Most generals believe that the panzers won't be used in the trenches a lot,but soon they find that they are important on the battlefield

The first kaiserpanzer, about to engage austro-hungarian armies in Brünn, Moravia​
The panzer was a massive success on the front at first not because of its power,but because of the fear that it caused in the ranks of the Germans and the Austrians.The battle would be won by The OA a few months later and the Germans will continue to advance in A-H.The desertion rates were high for a few weeks before things calmed down.The German War ministry ordered 10 panzers,because after it's initial success they didn't think they would need many panzers.On TPL side the situation is pretty bad - the Germans are winning the battle and the OA is close to Wien.The conscription age is lowered and the Austrian army is growing
Italian and French Armoured cars are being delivered to Austria-hungary in massive amounts,together with Austrian cars.TPL's scientists,engineers and designers are working on something to fight against the panzers.Some of the panzers are sent to the Western Front to defend against French forces.
