Spring 1902: the year of the conflict.
Austria is under heavy attack from Italy, Russia, Germany, and some even think Turkey's orders were inspired as such.
Meanwhile the office of tourism of the Balkan finds itself overwhelmed by the people pouring into the place: aside from the Austrians, there are Italians, Russians, and Turks. The Italians cry murder as they see their favorite spot taken by the Turks. The Russians, armed with Lonely Planet's guide on Budapest, hastily retreat as soon as Austrians decide to spend Summer at home.
On the other side of the european mainland we see Germany and England bounce in the North Sea. And the Russians have used all the power they could gather to attack the English in Norway.
And France: it's looking at all these skirmishes and probably thinking "laissez faire".
The English fleet in Norway is forced out by the Russians.
