Middle East War II, or Second Middle Eastern War, also known as the Turco-Persian War, and MEW2 was a conflict on Aurora which spanned across the entirety of the Middle East and included almost every nation within the region, making it one of the bloodiest wars in the history of Aurora. The war officially started on June 8, 2023 when Fiji, the Sultan of Turkey, declared total war on the nation of Hungary with the intent of conquest, specifying that the war could be ended if Hungary would cede all towns to the Turkish Empire. The general consensus on the end date of the war is September 25, 2023, when Fix announced that overclaim was being added to the game. Though peace has not yet been made between the three belligerents, it was clear that all nations had to abandon the fronts and secure their homelands. | Middle East War II, or Second Middle Eastern War, also known as the Turco-Persian War, and MEW2 was a conflict on Aurora which spanned across the entirety of the Middle East and included almost every nation within the region, making it one of the bloodiest wars in the history of Aurora.
