The Ukraine-Turkey War started on the 13th May 2011.
The conflict, in part, developed out of the Second Baltic War, in which Ukraine was battling against Lithuania. However, during that war, the country of Belarus liberated a number of its regions, essentially blocking the Ukraine-Lithuania front and ending Ukraine's involvement in the war.
Ukraine then turned its attention south, toward the Turkish mainland.
Prelude
At the time of the initial attack, EDEN forces were close to wiping Serbia during the EDEN invasion of Serbia. Ukraine declared Turkey as its natural enemy, believing that the EDEN invasion of Serbia would soon be successful, and therefore Ukraine would quickly receive support from other EDEN nations. The EDEN invasion was unsuccessful, as Serbia was able to fend off both Bulgaria and Croatia. This left Ukraine to fight Turkey practically on their own. Considering the order of battle of both primary belligerents, military experts saw Turkey as the favorite in the conflict. Without concentrated EDEN support, Ukraine found itself outmatched.
The Ukraine-Turkey War was also believed to be the perfect opportunity for both ONE and ABC to get pay-back after the EDEN coordinated attack on the Baltic countries during the Second Baltic War.
Engagements
Ukraine's initial attack into the Turkish homeland was quickly repelled and Turkey then took the initiative and invaded Ukraine in retaliation. The Turkish assault was swift, biting deep into Ukraine with little resistance.
As the war escalated, Poland entered the war by attacking the Ukrainian territory of Galicia and Lodomeria, placing Ukraine in an even more precarious position as ONE allies entered the war as primary belligerents.
Additionally, Ukraine's ally Belarus proposed Ukraine as a natural enemy and passed. Belarus at the time had no congress as it had been previously been wiped off the map by ABC. Because of the lack of congress the president did not get any sort of impeachment proposal to end his term in office.
Results
Ukraine was brought down to just one region after the Polish beat Ukraine, however almost instantly after the battle with Poland in Bukovina, Ukraine gained the region of Subcarpathia in a resistance war with Slovakia leaving Ukraine with one region with no wars open.
Turkey owned 8 of the 13 Ukrainian home regions while Poland and Belarus owned 2 each and Ukraine left with just the one.
After the war Turkey then went to war with Belarus taking their 2 Ukrainian colonies, making it so Turkey then owned 10 of the 13 home regions of Ukraine.
Poland then went to war with Romania and their intervention in the war may have just been to get a passage to Romania all along.
Turkey then attacked Russia on May 29, 2011 initiating the Turkey-Russia War.
