In 1933, a new chapter opened in European history when the first shots of the Great Balkan War were fired. Originaly the war started as a border conflict between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Tsardom of Bulgaria, because the latter claimed Macedonia for itself. Over time, several countries joined in. Romania joined on the side of Bulgaria, while Albania joined on the side of Yugoslavia. Greece and the Ottoman Empire formed a third faction in fear of territorial losses. After three years of non-desicive battles, the Romanian and Yugoslav faction accomplished a truce, aiming their combined forces instead against Hungary, wich controlled territory's both countries held claims on. The Krakow Pact instantly reacted, invading Romania and Yugoslavia, crushing their already weakened armies and sweeping through their territory assited by communist partisan groups that had formed in all countries involved in the war by now. After only 6 months Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Albania and omania pleaded for peace, when another political earthquake shook the Balkans as a communist revolution broke loose in the Ottoman Empire. Seeing their chance to greatly advance the cause of socialism, the countries of the Krakow Pact and the new socialist governments of the Balkan states rushed twoards Istanbul, conquering Greece in the process. Before the Allies of the Great War could even react, the whole of the Balkans and half of the Middle East had fallen to communism in one sweap. In Istanbul, the Sultan transfered power to the Socialist Great Assembly under the leadership of Nazim Hikmet. In Greece the communists under Markos Vafiadis had taken power. Yugoslavia and Bulgaria joined together with Albania under the leadership of Josip Tito, a socialist partisan born in the coratian part of Hungary. In Romania the communists under Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej took over the government.

Another event was the creation of a jewish state in the former Ottoman controlled Palestine, in wich the Zionist Labor Party under leadership of the Polish Zionist David Ben-Gurion achieved a deal with the new Turkish Government under Hikmet granted the Jews a swath of land in Palestine to create their own jewish council republic in. All countries subsequently joined the Krakow Pact and the ComIntern.
