@Anonymous: Elaborate.

@joaoffrocha: Seems like OP is butthurted.

@Anonymous: Okay...

In 1999, the Third Byzantine Empire's ongoing cold war with the Greater Persian Republic and Aksumite Federation reached a boiling point following the June 12th anti-Persian demonstration in Constantinople.

A mob of Byzantine citizens, enraged by the Patriarch of Constantinople's allegations that the Persian embassy was being used as a staging ground for Zoroastrian missionaries, sacked the embassy, hanging 32 Persian diplomats and staffers within plain view of the Imperial Palace.

Persia responded with an ultimatum: that the Empire arrest the leaders of the riot and replace the Patriarch of Constantinople within 72 hours, or the attack on the embassy would be considered an act of war.

Byzantium responded immediately: the Patriarch declared the 78th Crusade against the "satanic Zoroastrian pig-dogs," and the Imperial Air Forces launched preemptive airstrikes on Persian military installations across the Near East, including the Immortal Division stationed at the Marib Dam in Aksumite Yemen, drawing Aksum into the war on Persia's side. The Phoenician Republic reluctantly honored its defense pact with Byzantium, and the stage was set for the 78th Crusade.

@Anonymous: One long, devastating war later, Persian and Aksumite troops were advancing on Constantinople, burning and pillaging in retaliation for Byzantium's merciless civilian-targeted missile attacks. The United Nations stepped in and hastily brokered a peace treaty, the Treaty of Tyre, between Persia and Byzantium, granting Persia and Aksum territorial gains in the Caucuses and Judea, respectively. Greek settlers in neighboring areas were also repatriated to Byzantium en masse as part of the treaty.

The Treaty of Tyre was incredibly unpopular within the Empire, and a civil war soon broke out, with much of the military in favor of renewing the war in hopes of achieving better peace terms. Turkish and Assyrian nationalists started revolutions of their own, and Byzantium descended into, in the words of Emperor Basil XII, "an unholy shitstorm." NATO peacekeepers stepped in, partitioning the Byzantine Empire into Greece, Anatolia, and Syria, with the former Byzantine government ruling over only the rump state of Greece.

NATO's boots-on-the-ground presence made a Byzantine resurgence unlikely in its battered, war-weary state, so the few still-enthusiastic Byzantine nationalists took a different tack. On September 11, 2004, hoping to turn U.S. public sentiment against the occupation of the Byzantine Empire, Byzantine nationals hijacked four American airplanes, driving them into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a popular Cheesecake Factory in the suburbs of Washington D.C.

The World Trade Centers were leveled, causing deaths in the thousands. The Pentagon suffered moderate damage and around 100 deaths. The Cheesecake Factory had not yet opened, but some delicious cheesecake was lost.

@Anonymous: That elaborate enough for you?
