UK May-Aug 1915

- The Balkan front collapses into turmoil, as Allied frontlines pinwheel to cover a completely undefended Greek-Danubian frontier. Greek support units suddenly find themselves frontline forces. The British rapidly withdraw from Thrace and Macedonia in order to secure a defendable frontline. Back in Athens, British generals breathe sighs of relief that the Danubians haven't taken the initiative, as indeed the Danubian frontline troops seem to be as surprised by the switcheroo as the British. A few months of disorganised fortifying and hastily digging trenches sees a new frontline form.

- The Royal Navy shells Split harbour, sinking two Danubian destroyers in the harbour entrance and rendering the port unusable.

- Colonial, Anzac and Indian troops form the majority of a major offensive into the Transjordan and Middle East, to divert Ottoman troops from the Balkans. Ottoman concentrations of troops are targeted by shelling and gas attacks. The Indian army enters Jerusalem in early June, and by August the Palestine region has been liberated. Meanwhile, troops push up and down the Red Sea hills region, with the end goal of capturing Jedha, Mecca and Medina.

- Danubian forces in Libya are captured, disarmed and sent to prisoner-of-war camps in southern Libya.

- The Royal Navy attacks the Ottoman blockade of Hormuz from behind and in front. Outflanked, surrounded and in range of shore-based artillery, the Ottoman blockade cannot escape and over thirty capital ships are sunk and many more captured.

- The struggle on the Western Front continues in its bloody and brutal stalemate, with the offensive at Ypres continuing.

- Britain begins extensively purchasing weapons and supplies from America.
