Handling events related to the Greco-Turkish War #576

I propose to make some changes to the events related to the Greco-Turkish War so that they correspond to the historical truth.

How it is currently implemented in this mod:

  1. interwar_news.8: after the conclusion of the Treaty of Versailles (kis_treaty_of_versailles), the Turkish national movement is proclaimed on the territory of the Ottoman Empire, led by Mustafa Kemal.
    • If the Treaty of Versailles was concluded before 1919, then the Turkish Republic is created, which declares war on the Ottoman Empire. After 13 days, Greece is given the opportunity to start a war against the Turkish Republic and the Ottoman Empire (ww1_greece.6), and if it agrees, then the Greco-Turkish War begins (interwar_news.9), and if they refuse, then the war does not begin.
    • If the Treaty of Versailles was concluded after 1919, then the Greco-Turkish War begins in any case (interwar_news.9), regardless of Greece's wishes.

How it was historically:

  1. After the conclusion of the Treaty of Versailles, the Entente offers Greece to occupy Smyrna (12.05.1919). This was done in order to limit Italy's ambitions. Greece agreed.
  2. Greek troops landed in Smyrna and occupied it (15.05.1919). The Ottoman government does not actually react to the Greek landing.
  3. In response to the inaction of the Ottoman government, Mustafa Kemal begins organizing resistance to the intervention (19.05.1919). The Greco-Turkish War begins, as well as the confrontation between the Ottoman and Kemalist governments.

Thus, it is proposed to make the following changes to the mod:

  1. Two days after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Greece is given the opportunity to occupy Smyrna (ww1_greece.6). If Greece agrees, then a few hours later Smyrna is occupied (state = 339) without declaring war on the Ottoman Empire (interwar_news.9).
  2. Four days later, the Turkish National Movement is created (interwar_news.8), led by Mustafa Kemal (ruling party - neutrality). The newly created Turkish Republic declares war on the Ottoman Empire and Greece.

Thus, first, Smyrna is occupied by Greece, then the Turkish Republic (Turkish National Movement) is created, and then the Turkish Republic goes to war against Greece and the Ottoman Empire.

Also, changes are made to the corresponding localisation files of the mod.

Thank you for the appreciation of my work!

P.S. I work on three new states (associated with the Russian Empire) now: two protectorates, Khanate of Khiva and Emirate of Bukhara (they were not nominally part of the Russian Empire historically, like Tuva, but were entirely dependent on the power of the Tsar), as well as Kars region (it was transferred to the Turkish Republic after World War I).

It will be coming soon!
