Battle of the Black Sea (Russo-Islamic World War III)

The Battle of the Black Sea (Russian: Битва за Черное море, Ukrainian: Битва на Чорному морі, Turkish: قـاـراـداـنض سـاـواـشی) was a large naval clash between the Russian Navy and the Holy Caliphate Navy.

Considered another episode of the Russo-Turkish Wars, it is one of the largest naval clashes of modern-history, and one of the deadliest naval battles of the Russo-Caliphate War.

Ukraine, having its own issues with Russia, chose whether to side with the Caliphate or with Russia. Holy Caliphate forces had also eyed on conquering Crimea, given that Crimea was also historically Ottoman territory.

Both Russia and the Caliphate made attempts to pull Ukraine into their influence, with Russia and the Caliphate promising to recognize the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as the sole spiritual authority over Ukraine, and the Caliph promising that Ukrainian Orthodox would not be required to pay the jizyah tax.

Yuriy Boyko, a Ukrainian Opposition member, threatened to overthrow President Volodymyr Zelenskiy if he was not decisive with his decision. Russian president Mikhail Budayev began to court with Yuriy Boyko, and agreed to recognize the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and treat Ukrainian Orthodox as equals among men. Boyko made it plain that Orthodox would be considered second-class citizens in a Caliphate-occupied Crimea, or a Ukraine.

In addition, Russian spies within the Holy Caliphate Navy revealed to Ukrainians that the Caliphate planned to conquer all of Ukraine, and leaked plans to persecute Ukrainian Orthodox as second-class citizens.

In return, Boyko would let Russia have Crimea, but Ukraine will keep the Donbass.

Eventually, Boyko overthrew Zelenskiy, and stated he was willing to handle the Crimea and Donbass situation diplomatically with Russia, and became the President of Ukraine, and thus, sided with Russia. President Zelnisky and his followers however, sided with the Caliphate, and attempted to help the Caliphate in their invasion.

Together with Russia, Ukraine, Serbia and Belarus formed the Brotherhood of Nations. The battle involved over 27 naval vessels for Russia, 7 vessels for Ukraine, and over 13 vessels for the Holy Caliphate Navy. In addition, the navies of Pakistan had to contribute their best vessels for battle, ending up depleting Pakistan's navy. The Holy Caliphate Navy was dealt a major blow when Pakistan withdrew their naval forces, having to fend for their own maritime defenses against attacking Indian forces.

In addition, the Arabian Rebellion resulted in Arab sections of the Holy Caliphate Navy rebelling and mutinying, contributing warships on the side of the Brotherhood of Nations. In addition, within the Turkish Naval Battalions, Omer Boztepe-Ali, a commander within the Holy Turkish Navy, rebelled against the Caliphate, forming the Turkish Revolutionary Navy.

After the loss of the Holy Caliphate, the Russian offensives into northern Turkey began, where Russian and Turkish forces clashed in a bloody battle.

Greek, Russian and Bulgarian forces engaged against Turkish forces into the bloody Battle of Istanbul, forming the Free State of Constantinople.
