UK Sep-Dec 1913

- Prime Minister Asquith (who I've been calling Lloyd-George for ages), on a blustery autumn morning announces before an assembled crowd of journalists that Britain has begun 'a mission to protect the sovereignity of the Greek state'.

- The Opposition criticises this decision, accusing Asquith of attempting to save face for abandoning Korea, though largely no one really listens to them.

- The first British relief forces arrive in Greece and reinforce the Salamis Line, whilst preparing for a large-scale offensive. Weapons, horses and supplies arrive en masse via supply convoys.

- The Royal Navy begins capturing and sinking Ottoman merchant shipping in the Mediterranean, closing off both the Gibraltar strait and the Suez Canal to Turkish ships.

- Armies of African soldiers travel to Egypt, with Indian armies to arrive some time next year.

- A Royal Navy force initiates a blockade of the Libyan Sea with the aim of starving out Ottoman forces in the state and preventing reinforcements from getting to the colony.
