Treaties Torn to Shreds: Turkey (Kowalski) Strikes Balkans (MonsterSerg) in Ionian Sea
All pretenses of alliance were dissolved in blood when Turkey (Kowalski) struck Balkans (MonsterSerg) in Ionian Sea without the courtesy of a declaration of war. Officers of Balkans found their retreat cut off by troops they had considered comrades only yesterday. Anxious relatives crowded the telegraph offices of Balkans, seeking casualty lists that were not forthcoming. The telegraph cables carried so many high-minded patriotic appeals that the wires were suspected of overheating from sheer rhetoric.
