Utharska - A History Fiction

Chapter 2

The battle started with the Uthari attacking with small units of cavalry. The clash didn't last long, and both parties went back to their positions quickly.

Neither army attacked each other for three days. Finally, Cevdet Pasha decided to send his right flank. The enemy countered with their left flank. Cevdet Pasha sent ten thousand peasant soldiers to his right flank. The enemy decided to move their right flank to threaten the enemy's left flank. Cevdet Pasha moved his middle and his right flank towards the Uthari left flank. He was on an all-out attack.

The Uthari were retreating on both flanks. So they decided to make a risky move. They moved their entire middle towards what was left of the enemy middle. The ten thousand peasant soldiers retreated upon the sight of the enemy. This made the Egyptian army think that they were losing, and they lost morale.

The Uthari middle then moved towards the enemy right. The peasants there were easily crushed. The enemy's morale was destroyed. Cevdet Pasha and his left flank had to retreat.

While running away, Cevdet Pasha was caught. He was executed, and thus, Egypt and Tunisia joined Utharska. The remaining soldiers of Cevdet Pasha were forgiven, and many of them joined the Uthari army.

However, there was no time to rest. The Uthari army started moving towards the Balkans. As the Austria-Hungary Empire didn't want to neighbor a strong country, they were motivating even more rebellions. The Greeks and the Albanians had both started a rebellion. Meanwhile, Uthman of the Tunisian dynasty had reclaimed his lands.

When the Uthari arrived, they were expecting to easily suppress the rebels. However, as the Austria-Hungarian army were supporting them. The Uthari couldn't risk a new war. Alongside that, many pashas were betraying the army, so another war was impossible.

Because of this, they had to sit down and negotiate with the rebels. Bosnians were given semi-independence under Austrian rule, while the Serbians were declared semi-independent under the Uthari rule. Albania and Greece were given a lot of autonomy, but they were still a part of the empire.

Hearing about how the Balkan rebels forced the government to do things beneficial to them, the entirety of the empire was shook. Cevdet Pasha's troops started a rebellion inside the army, The Imperial Army wanted a raise in their salary, and a Kurdish uprising started in the East. The empire couldn't deal with any of these problems.

So, they had to negotiate once again. Kurds were given the same status as the Greeks. The Imperial Army was given an increase in salary, as the government raised taxes. And Cevdet Pasha's troops were sent to Egypt to form a small country of their own in the Tunisian lands.

Of course, they didn't bother with having a war against Uthman. They formed their country in Kahire. 

During this time, an event happens, that changed everything.

A sheikh in Konya starts an uprising, claiming that The Imperial Army is corrupt and should be closed. The Imperial Army immediately asks the Padishah to deal with them. However, many pashas change sides, as they also want The Imperial Army to be removed.  

After a bloody battle, with the last soldier of The Imperial Army dying, their regime of terror ends. 

Yet, seeing how there is a mass ready to revolt, many pashas decide to no stop there. They forcefully resigned him, and they put another member of the dynasty to the throne. They immediately force the new Padishah to give them benefits.

Due to the political situation of Utharska, Austria-Hungary decides to start other rebellions. Romanians and more Greeks rebel for freedom. Meanwhile, Kurdistan breaks off with the help of Iran. Tunisia and Egypt conquer some more Uthari land. The empire is on the verge of collapse.

Seeing how much weaker they are, both Iran and Austria declare war. The Uthari army loses against Austria, leaving with little to no means of defending themselves. Egypt also joins the war, trying to grab something. They push the Uthari all the way back to just Anatolia, with only middle Anatolia remaining in their hands. When all hope is lost, someone has an idea.

The people start to rebel, this time for their own independence. They aren't supported, however, as both the Kurds and the Balkan nations want their lands, their rebellion works well. They first push back the Iranians back to the Kurdish border. Austria leaves most of Anatolia by themselves, but they still hold Constantinople.

At this point, the people have two distinct opinions. Some say they should conquer Constantinople too, some say they shouldn't. Choosing not to would be the empire's worst decision ever.

As they have all of Anatolia, they reform the nation, under the name "Constitutionality of Uthar " However, there is no males left from the old dynasty. Because of this, one of the pashas marries someone from the old dynasty, and becomes the monarch. Rest of the pashas form a parliament, a lot bigger than the first one. 

As these happen, borders become more clear through the world. Austria is thrown off the Balkans, and Greece owns Constantinople once again. Kurds become independent, and Egypt is split into many different parts.
