Following the surrender of Constantinople, the last scattered forces that fought under the Ottoman banner surrendered to the closest allied forces except for the forces that had survived the Ankara revolt and withdrawn to besiege the city. When the British heard of this news the advance of Operation Green Dragon accelerated as the British knew that they had to crush the revolt for otherwise it would spread, and Anatolia would burn with the flames of the eternal socialist revolution. When the reactionary forces reached the heart of the revolution, they crushed the remaining Ottoman forces that had been defending the city and began the slaughter of Ankara.

The plasma artillery blazed for three days turning the tables and other wooden furniture utilised as barricades to hold off the reactionary forces into bonfires and then the infantry stormed in. The barricades were smashed down, and they rampaged through the city killing anyone who dared raise a weapon against them. While the official historians will say that their rampage was restricted, we socialists know that only the most brutal of repressions would weaken the will of the people to revolt against their overlords. The streets ran red with blood and the scarlet banners of the revolution were burned in the fires of oppression along with them burnt the hopes of freedom from the reactionary monarchies that dominate the world to this day.

The treaty of Constantinople while harsh and one-sided was the fruit of days of negotiations dealing with the Greek claims over the Aegean, the ethnicities of the territories claimed by the Balkan league, the separatist movements that had sprung up across the carcass of the empire and Russian movements across their border with the Ottoman empire. Several decisions were made quickly and with little fuss Albania was granted independence as a constitutional monarchy under the house of Savoy containing all the lands that the Balkan League had recognized them holding when they first revolted. The Kingdom of Arabia was recognized as a federal constitutional monarchy to hold all the lands south of Mosul save for Palestine due to religious tensions. Constantinople, Crete, the Aegean, and the Dodecanese islands were granted to Greece alongside Cyprus save for certain naval bases that would remain under the control of the British.

Then the debates began the Kurdish, Armenian and Assyrian revolts had all secured land, and all were demanding independence or massive amounts of autonomy under the states they were assigned to. The Armenians had a relatively simple solution transferring the majority Armenian territory between Lake Van and Trabzon to the Russian Empire due to their control over the remainder of Armenia though Armenia would be granted a status similar to Finland. The Kurds and Assyrians had a larger problem as the territory that the majority of their population lived in was populated by a sizable minority of Arabs. Hussein I suggested that they be integrated into the Kingdom of the Arabs as states with high levels of autonomy. King George I suggested that they become sovereign kingdoms in a personal union with the Arab Kingdom which was not taken well by the Kurds and Assyrians. After days of discussion and negotiations it was decided that the two groups would form a union with a capital in Mosul the new state would have two heads of State one a Kurd the other an Assyrian with that dealt with the major forces turned to Europe and left the Kurds and Assyrians to work out their new state that stretched from Mosul to Lake Van, the Assyrian-Kurdish free Union.

The division of the European territories of the Ottoman empire were filled with arguments and debates the ethnic divisions of the region were so ingrained that to grant any land to one nation would cause another to fly into a rage. The eastern part of the Bulgarian-Greek border was settled reasonably easily with an agreement for the Rhodope mountain range to the form the border until it reached the Evros river from there all of East Thrace south of Adrianople was granted to Greece while the remainder was integrated into the Tsardom of Bulgaria. The region of Macedonia was however filled with controversy with Greeks and Bulgarians both living in the area. It was decided that the north-east of the region would be granted to Bulgaria while the remainder would fall to Greece. Serbia would annex Sandžak-Raška and Kosovo while Montenegro secured all of Lake Scutari and land as far as Pljevlja securing themselves both territory and a larger coastline.

Then Britain and Greece turned to Western Anatolia wherein the many supporters of the Megali idea leapt at the opportunity to secure the land that they saw as integral for a Greek State and Britain was more than happy to empower their ally the entire Anatolian coast of the Aegean Sea was ceded to Greece. The entire Bosporus was also secured to form a continuous stretch of Greek controlled land. The Anatolian coast was permanently lost to the new republic of Turkey as the borders set down in the treaty were guaranteed by the United Kingdom for a hundred years more than enough time for the land to become Greek.

The Sofia protocols define the modern Balkans as they brought together five disparate states that were only connected to each other through hatred of a now dead empire into the flourishing edge of Europe. The protocols established open borders between the nations, a council where they could resolve diplomatic disputes and several other major economic ties explicitly done so that any war between the Balkan powers would cripple their economies and make it heavily unprofitable no matter the territorial gains or the war reparations. Despite the dislike of the notion each nation signed due to either the British convincing them that it would strengthen their nation more than any other or simply the British threating them with economic or military action.

George I of Greece is widely seen as one of the greatest Greek monarchs of all time his reign began with six people voting for him and he did his best from there. He expanded the Royal Hellenic Navy and fought two wars with the Ottoman Empire while one was a failure the second one was a greater success then what anyone would have thought possible reconquering Constantinople and bringing the Megali idea to fruition. Following the end of the Balkan war he began the transitioning of power from Athens to Constantinople and began the great expelling of the Turks from the new territories secured by Greece into Mustafa Kemal Pasha's new republic of Turkey and despite what Byzantines will say always remember that George I and Constantine XII oversaw an ethnic cleansing of the Turks from Europe and western Anatolia. While his reign would not end until 1918 and the Second Byzantine Empire would officially be proclaimed the year after his death at the coronation of Basilius Constantine XII he is widely seen not as the King of the Hellenes but as Basilius of the Rhomans breaker of the Ottomans and avenger of 1452.

The state of Palestine post the Balkan war was complicated Jerusalem had been conquered by His Majesty's Jewish Regiment of Kenya but the majority Arab and Muslim population of the region were not happy to have not been granted to the Arab Kingdom alongside the Christian holy sites in the region there was no easy option. Hussein I offered for the Palestine region to become a sovereign secular kingdom under personal a union with the Arab Kingdom. Though the British turned down the offer the suggestion would help develop the eventual solution that established the fragile balances that dominates Judea to this day.
