The Montreux Convention
Fire this event with the event command and the event ID bftb_turkey.1.
What happens
President the Turkish leader has informed us that Turkey is preparing to remilitarize the Turkish Straits. The Turkish government would like us to back their claims over their territorial waters, and to alter the Treaty of Lausanne to give them the legitimacy to keep those claims. Backing the Turkish claims over the Turkish Straits will surely ingratiate them to us, and it could open up the possibility of Turkey being able to contest Italy in the Mediterranean. However, getting mired in this crisis might also place us on opposite sides of Russia, which could mean war in the worst case scenario.
Player choices
When this event fires, The Montreux Convention presents these options:
- We shall back the Turks on this matter.
- The British Empire does not concern itself with Turkey.
