War On Egypt

PRECURSOR

Egypt was under Sicilian rule for many hundreds of years, but the HRE forcefully bought it in 1785. Much of Sicily was hostile to this, but it was needed to boost the weakening Sicilian economy. In 1924, after the government change, Sicily wanted to regain its old former lands, and threatened Emperor Francis to return Egypt to Sicily, however this demand was denied by Emperor Francis. One final ultimatum was sent in July 1925, but Francis had ripped into shreds.

WAR

15,000 Sicilian troops had landed in Egypt, and had initially steam rolled the HRE. In 2 months, the last holdout was in Cairo, and a Sicilian victory seemed imminent. 4,500 Sicilian troops were sent in to fight against an army of only 1200 HRE defenders. However, reinforcements from TinyTown soon arrived, boosting the garrison to 2,500 defenders. 

Sicily rolled in, but the new TinyTown Reds proved a great challenge, with greater cunning than that of what was expected. In a few hours, the assault was battered and most of the Sicilian army was either dead or retreating. After the Battle of Cairo, the Sicilian army lost most of its gains in a span of 3 weeks, and Sicily was forced to pull out of Egypt and return to Sicily, signing the Treaty of Cairo with the HRE, finally dissolving any land claims Sicily had on Egypt.
