Thanks to all who have read and enjoyed this AAR. I hope it’ll be the first in a long line of AAR’s here on the paradox forums. Expect to see the aforementioned Spanish AAR soon and I’ll pop up on the Vicky forums once I get the game (I love Christmas 
)
Anyway, enjoy the final update!

The Greek Empire
Epilogue:1977-2007
The Greek Civil War: 1977-1981
The War was humiliating to the Greeks. The social, political, and cultural divisions of the Empire were too deep and caused the war. At first, the ruling Imperial Council took away many rights of Serbs, Bulgars, and Turks, and rounded them up in refugee camps. The war started in favor of the Greeks. They captured thousands of rebels and executed them. All throughout 1977 and halfway through 1978, the Greeks killed many rebels and civilians and lost the support of the world. In fact, even the Greek public demanded reforms. Then in 1978, a combined force of Serbs and Bulgars captured the vital port of Varna, in Bulgaria, and defeated two Greek Armies. The defeats were humiliating and threw the Greeks out of Bulgaria. Then the rebels sweeped around to cut off Serbia from the Greeks and then freed that country. But the hardest fighting was in Turkey. Heavy street fighting and repeated sieges destroyed Ankara and caused thousands of casualties. But with foreign supplies and weapons, the Turks surprisingly used the mountainous terrain to wage a guerilla war that exhausted demoralized Greek forces, while the Serbs and Bulgars continued to put pressure of the Balkan front. Slowly, by 1981, Turkey was liberated. At the Treaty of Vienna on February 12th, 1981, the nations of Serbia, Bulgaria, and Turkey were officially founded.
The Civil War
Subsequent Events
After the war, the Imperial Council, threatened by a military coup, gave into public opinion and held elections for the next Emperor and Prime Minister. The government was radically changed and most of the power was given to the Prime Minister now. However the Emperor still maintained much power over the military and could veto laws and appoint positions (with consent of the Imperial Council and Prime Minister). So Greece, while still retaining its title as the Greek Empire (this includes the Emperor, who doesn’t now have total power), effectively became a republic. Throughout the 80’s, the nation relied on foreign imports for many products. However, when the 90’s came around, the nation received a resurgence and the economy was greatly boosted. The utopian dream set long ago was finally coming true, as Greece found a perfect middle between policing the world and staying out of trouble. In fact, since the Greek Civil War, the world has not had a war. Greece had won fame and prestige after building the Hellas Tower, the world’s tallest building at just over 2,000 feet tall in 2002, overlooking the Golden Horn in Constantinople, the capital. Greece is now one of the few superpowers, on par with the US and China. It is the business, tourism, and economic center of the world. The world is quiet these days, and the Age of Peace is settling in.
