2020-05-01 20:45:40 +0000 UTCThis is the one I have been waiting for! P.S: This will be much shorter than the Battuta Timeline as there's less of it, but never mind. 1906 17th July In the Russian Empire, the Treaty of Poti is Signed in the Port City of Poti, Kutais Governorate, by Representatives of the Arabian and Russian Empires. Under the Terms of the Treaty, the Caucasus Viceroyalty is Ceded to the Arabian Empire, however the Russians will not have to Pay War Reparations to the Arabs as Part of the Peace Dealings. 1st August In the Arabian Empire, Noe Ramishvili, One of the Leaders of the Menshevik Faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, Declares the Democratic Republic of Georgia, with the City of Tiflis, Tiflis Governorate, as its Capital City and himself as its Chairman. 1910 10th August In the Caliphate of Arabia, already during the Secret Negotiations for the Defensive Alliance, the German Ambassador Hans von Wangenheim and the Arabian Minister of War, Mehmet Djavid, Agree that the German Mediterranean Division, Consisting of the SMS Goeben and the SMS Breslau, will be sent to Support the Arab Fleet. However, has made the Agreement without the Consent of his Government, which Seeks to Preserve its Neutrality. Admiral Wilhelm Souchon Misinterprets the Situation and Moves Towards Arabia anyway, while a French Fleet is already Hunting for his Ships. The “Mediterranean Division” Reaches the Levantine Sea, where the Arabians Demand the Abolition of German Trade Privileges to let the Fleet Cruise into Arab Waters and Wangenheim Agrees. By Granting the German Fleet such Permission, the Arabs Transgress the Rules of Neutrality, so the Grand Vizier, Said Halim, Pretends the Acquisition of these Ships. The Germans Reject this Proposal and Demand Entry into the War from the Arabian Empire. The Arabs Ignore this and Announce the Purchase of the Two Ships. With Eggs on their Faces, the Germans are Forced to Agree. Since the Arabs do not have the Appropriate Personnel, the German Crews are kept on Board.
