The beginning of the Industrial Era is also considered to be the start of another Arabian Golden Age. Another census was also conducted in 1700. It revealed that the Caliphate habitet over 100 million citizens.
Nontheless, the Arabian invasion to Turkey was on its third phase and proceeding as expected. The newly invented airships were also providing aerial support for the Caliphate's armies for the first time in world's history. As a result the oldest Ottoman city of Sogut was captured after a bloody battle and burned to ground. The Arabian armies proceeded towards the Ottoman capital, Istambul.
Meanwhile Al-Wathiq had supplied a navy that was ordered to sail towards the archipelago of Indonesia and establish a foothold there. The navy reached the shores of Java in sound condition an attacked the Khmer city of Jayakarta. The tropical battle was brutal, but somehow the Arabs managed to outlast the Khmers and the city fell under the Caliphate. The next goal of this Pacific army was to conquer Sumatra and establish a foothold in Southeast Asia by conquering Singapore.
However, the Chinese Empire was outraged by this attack against their vassal and they declared war on the Caliphate. Their close allies, Japanese, joined this anti-Arabian Alliance and the War of the Arabian Aggression had truly began. This war can also be considered as the first World War.
