Chapter 1219: Chapter 906: The Junbao Strait Issue

In order to alleviate the pressure on the Balkan States, finding new allies within the Balkan Region became extremely important for Britain and France.

After much consideration, the British turned their attention to what was once the strongest country in the Balkan Region, Turkey, which a hundred years ago was one of the Powers.

Since the multiple Balkan Wars, the current Turkey was no longer as mighty as the Ottoman Turkey once was, and the emergence of the Republic was not well-received in the eyes of Britain and France.

Especially after the end of World War I, a large expanse of land and sea, including Constantinople and the Strait of Constantinople, were forced to become demilitarized zones, just like Rhineland in Germany.

What's worse for Turkey is that it actually holds a portion of European territory, namely the Edirne region snatched from Bulgaria after the Balkan Wars ended.
