Long time lurker, with my first comment here. I heard lurking is bad, so here goes.
I really like how you keep this AAR interesting even in the late years of the game (past 1900). Creating monster Greece is one of those things. Are you planning to sphere them? Annexing them now would be kind of counter-productive.

part 18-civil war
Due to the shore batteries that we built our fleet is now unable to enter the Dardanelles or the Bosphorus straits and so we blockade the Aegean instead.
To the north in Italian Croatia the first military battle of the war comes to an end in a minor Italian victory. The Greeks mobilize the population in an attempt to stall us while we organize our troops and despite the newly mobilized Greek threat the government refuses to mobilize.
With hostilities continuing we discover oil in timimoun.
We win another minor victory on the 15th of March in sisak.
In April we launch our first offensive and attempt to capture senj, however it seems as though the Greeks where expecting us and they quickly overwhelmed us with huge numbers. When Greek reinforcement are spotted arriving from the south Giovanni chigi orders a retreat to karlovac.
With our failed invasion repelled the greens launch a major attack against our forces in Croatia. The battle of pozega goes on until June the 14th when our forces retreat after an extra 60,000 Greeks show up to reinforce their forces.
On the 19th of June the Greeks attempt to capture Fiume which threatens our control of the important city of Trieste. To counter this threat the Trieste garrison and the army of Slovenia move to force the Greeks out.
While our army attempts to force the Greeks out of Fiume the Greek armies begin occupying Croatia.
On the 3rd of July the Greek army retreats from Fiume losing nearly 7,000 men in the process.
While we fight the Greek rebels the British declare war on the Chinese on the 14th of July and we notice that the Greek army has doubled in size in the last 4 months. A few days later the Soviet Union declares war on Sweden to liberate southern Finland.
On the 6th of September an attempt to liberate Zagreb by Giovanni chigi fails and the Greeks force us to retreat into Istria. And a month later a second attempt to liberate Zagreb fails with our army losing over 10,000 men in the process. Despite these two defeats the call from the top military leaders for mobilization the government continues to ignore their advice.
By the 22nd of December the Greeks begin to occupy Slovenia and launch an attack on Fiume.
On the 27th of February 1911 the battle of Fiume comes to an end in a Italian victory under Giovanni chigi.
By the 22nd of April we decide to try and recapture the fort of karlovac and begin a large offensive against the Greek armies stationed there.
Before we could engage the Greek army at karlovac the Greek armies retreat east and launch an attack against Fiume. The Greeks have proven themselves to be worthy opponents and we have received Intel that more Greek reinforcements are on their way to aid those in Fiume and Sisak. Our army force won’t be able to fight for much longer without reinforcements, but despite this the government continues to ignore the calls for mobilization and for the Venetian army to move south to aid in the fight.

i started the war with aquire bosnia because i havent got a core on athens, but i have on every thing else which means i can't restore order but i will make them mine again hopefully.
Holy goodness look at those deficits.I wonder what happens if you mobilize...
Also what is the wargoal for the greeks?Is it possible for them to take regions from you?I hope you win though,i want to see your empire reunified.

yeah it is bad because i lost the balkands, i had built a huge industry there but sadly its about to be destroyed, the greeks war goal is to stay independent so basically white peace but they can add war goals if they whants. fighting a civil war like scenario is fun.
Very tough and bloody work thus far, Greece is proving a most difficult opponent. You seem to be making progress though, hopefully you will soon emerge victorious.
It also seems that this "Greece"also affected your funds,effectivly making you lose tons of moneys and may cause you an economical crisis
Oh anachronism
Oh anachronism

part 19-civil war part 2
The war continues and on the 2nd of June 1911 our armies suffer 2 small but humiliating defeats to the large Greek armies. When news reaches the government they finally listen to the call from the army and mobilize the people of northern Italy and begin organizing the troops but it will be weeks if not months before they reach the front line.
After the defeats at sisak and Fiume the Greeks started to occupy pola, Fiume and karlovac. On the 29th of july the 13th army under Francesco scammacca is ordered to retake karlovac and then advance to capture Fiume in an attempt to surround a Greek army in pola.
By august Francesco scammacca had still not defeated the Greek army at karlovac and the Greek army that was in pola has attacked our army in Fiume. In the battle of karlovac the Greek army of 120,000 men outnumber our army by 33,000 men. Now Carlo chigi is advancing south to aid our army at karlovac with the first of the mobilized armies.
On the 27th of august the battle of Fiume comes to an end in a Italian victory when the Greeks retreat to senj.
As the battle of karlovac goes on some of our army begins re occupying areas of Croatia. But on the 14th of December Giovanni chigi successfully defeats the Greeks at karlovac while inflicting over 60,000 casualties on them.
After the battle half of the force that fought at karlovac are sent to pursue the Greek army into senj while the other half re gain their fighting strength.
We continue to pursue the retreating Greek army through senj and zadar.
On the 26th of June 1912 we begin to occupy most of Bosnia and in the process we surround a Greek army in bihac.
By the 5th of September the Greeks have broken out of bihac and retreated into senj. The Greek army attacks our forces in foca.
The battle of foca ends on the 13th of January 1913 before we could close the novi pazari pocket.
As April starts we begin occupying Albania and southern Serbia and we defeat the Greeks at the battle of Pristina while suffering 13,000 casualties.
On the 20th of April we move our troops to occupy Edessa to cut the Greek army off from the main force and we attack the Greeks in Macedonia.
In June the battle of Salonika that started in April comes to an end in an Italian victory. The Greek situation has become bleak as our forces start to occupy Bulgaria and northern Greece.
On the 25th of December we launch a sea born invasion of Khalkis. Our exhausted army also reaches the outskirts of Athens one of the 2 most important Greek cities and the Greek capital.
Victory is near as our forces reach the outskirts of Istanbul the same day we reach Athens. The high command decides to wait until the occupation of kirkareli is finished before we attack Athens or Istanbul.
After a 3 month long battle, 22000 Italian casualties and 6000 Greek casualties Athens finally falls to our troops.
After 5 months, 31000 Italian casualties and 19,000 Greek casualties Istanbul finally falls and the war comes to an end.
3 days after the fall of Istanbul the civil war comes to an official end on the 15th of May 1914 and out empire is once again united. After thousands of Italian, Greek, Bulgarian, Albanian and Bosnian deaths both sides of the empire are ready for peace and all of the minorities in the Balkans are given equal rights to that of Italians. What will come next we do not know.

A most brutal war but thankfully Italy has emerged triumphant, restoring her near shattered Empire. Hopefully the concessions which have been offered to the rebels are sufficient to avoid a repeat of this war.
i think theyll be happy but if not i will mearly crush them again. and in the next update i think i will make another cartoon.
i assume you mean austria hungary and if you do i think i might get started on that.
I think he should go after the French instead of that. They seem to have recovered from the previous defeat in the Great War already. AUH for now presents a nice buffer state between Italy, Germany and the Soviets. It may be a good idea, to further weaken them however - deprive them of some lands with Polish and/or Romanian cores
