-Chapter 10 (The Russian Crusade)-
The Russian Cossacks' defense against the catholic invaders in this war was some of the dirtiest tactics and fighting ever. Fighting against two gigantic armies at once the Cossacks of Russia resorted to hit and run tactics and the burning of bridges, roads, and farms. Many miles of Russian territory were destroyed not by the crusaders but by the Russians themselves. On occasion the Russian raids even managed to force the Germans and Romans to retreat.
Around this time Europe had begun to splinter into smaller nations. The nation of France succeeded from Spain and England and joined the crusade against the Orthodox as well. Spain also entered the war in 1498 BC against the Orthodox and landed at the city of St. Petersburg and set up a beachhead.
By 1453 BC, however, support for the crusade began to wane as the Roman and German forces simply stopped fighting. In 1451 BC the final peace was made between the Catholic crusaders and Russia.
Tensions rose once more threatening another crusade when the Greeks in Athens revolted from Rome in 1398 BC and began a bloody civil war that lasted until 1276 BC. In the end the revolt was put down and all the people of Athens were put to death at the swords of the Roman legions.
-Chapter 11 (The Iriquois Threat)-
In 1754 BC, the New England Confederacy was being pounded by raids by warriors appearing to be Aztecs. At the same time the Aztecs were being raided by people using New English technology. For a while war was almost declared between the two powerful nations and it wasn't until 1704 BC that the truth was discovered.
A powerful and mysterious empire consisting of almost all of Western America call the iriquois launched a two-pronged invasion against the NEC and Aztec Empire.
The backwards Incans also joined the fight against the Iriquois. For a long part of the war the Iriquois enjoyed technological and military superiority as they advanced rapidly sometimes almost taking a city a day.
Many beautiful and old Aztec and NEC cities were burned to the ground by the invaders. It seemed nothing could stop the Iriquois juggernaught.
