After the decision of the US to tolerate the Ottoman occupation of Songhai territory, the US began the final push to capture Bactra and secure a buffer zone around Persia.With air support and missile artillery fire, the siege began.
The Aztecs showed little resistance, except for a few mechanized infantry divisions that were easily held off by American forces.
Eventually the US Eastern Fleet also joined the siege, and American forces continued the siege from both the north and south.
Although the siege lasted for months, the American army was slowly beating the city down.And finally, in an ending similar to the end of the Third French-American War, American forces captured the city.
Shortly thereafter, peace negotiations with the Aztecs began.The US ended up accepting a flat peace treaty with the Aztecs, which finally ended the years long war that had devastated the northeastern part of the continent.
Celebrations rang out throughout America and her allies that the war was finally over, and for the first time in years, America was at peace.
But it was uncertain as to how long this peace would last.Tensions between the US and the Ottomans continued.And during the American campaign to capture Bactra, the Ottomans, shortly after overrunning Songhai lands, continued their push by declaring war on Russia, which greatly alarmed the US.It seemed the Ottomans wanted to conquer the whole eastern part of the northern continent.Ottoman forces quickly began advancing.
And the Ottomans were one of the reasons the US was in such a hurry to end the Aztec War.Although some American leaders wanted the war against the Aztecs to continue, most agreed that America's attention needed to be in the western hemisphere, to watch Turkish aggression.
So America finally transitioned into an era which many hoped would experience years of peace.But with Ottoman aggression continuing, it was wondered by some if another war was imminent....
