ENGLAND: The Ottoman Sultan invites the British ambassador to witness a mighty demonstration of Ottoman power: The greatest naval operation in Ottoman history! Cyprus has been stripped of all defensive forces, but the Sultan ordered the troops to camp outside the city. A foolish act? No, an act of charity, for the Sultan is a philanthropist and loathes civilian casualties. We do not wish to fight this war, but we can't allow England to support troops on our soil. Leave the Arabian peninsula now, disband if necessary, but leave! If you do, the Ottoman troops on Cyprus will withdraw and this unnecessary bloodshed will come to an end.
ITALY: Despite your former provocations the Sultan is interested in long-term peace and booming trade. We are willing to forget and forgive your past actions and send you an Ottoman headpiece as birthday present which we hope will suit you well. We eagerly await your memorandum.
AMERICA: How come you still work for your former masters and help them to suppress other nations? Is that how you define 'freedom'? This is none of your business, please don't interfere in internal Ottoman affairs, for the peninsula is ours alone. Back off at once!
One British infantry was killed on the peninsula, two more and a trade unit on Cyprus. Ottomans lost 3 infantries.
Furthermore Ottoman forces took over a deserted airfield on the Balcans.
