==== A liberation... ====
With the Fall of France in 1940, Syria was put
Promised independence by the [[Greater Germanic Reich|Germans]] quickly after this, a series of terrorist attacks against Allied Forces occured, kickstarting guerilla warfare against the Allies in the country. With [[Republic of Turkey|Turkey]] joining the Axis and [[Italian Empire|Italy]] pushing into Egypt, Syria was finally, truly liberated by their allies.
==== ..and a betrayal ====
When Turkish forces entered the Al Azm Palace in [[Damascus]] to take over the government just after the end of the war, the Syrian people expected help from their German liberators; but the response they got, was silent.
In fact, a secret agreement between Turkish and German diplomats had been made shortly before Turkey's entry into the war, stipulating that Syria, which was once promised independence, was now to be under the Turkish boot.
It was in this chaos that the new Turkish administrators created the '''Syrian National State''', and a new entity to govern it: the '''Council of the Syrian National State'''. Now robbed of their coastline and honor, the Syrians had no choice but to abandon their dreams of independence, or did they ?

Tired by the constant enslaving by foreign imperialists, Syria has become a hotbed of Ba'athist followers. With the opposition rallying around the [[Hizb al-Ba'th al-Arabi al-Ishtiraki]] organisation, the Ba'athists have become a serious concern to fix and eradicate immediately in the eyes of the Council.

===== The Broken Council =====
The Council of the Syrian National State, even if officially called a federal council, is actually led by a quadrumvirate of highly esteemed military officers that<ref> OTL, all four of these people were either dictators of Syria, Authoritarian presidents or participated in coups against other government of Syria. </ref> collaborate with the Turkish government. Even if their morals are different, they still agree on most policies as they follow authoritarian right-wing policies.
Adib al-Shishakli, director of the council, is also to note here. Corruption and manipulation, however, is growing deep into the roots of the council, and the Turkish government seems to do nothing about it..
===== Down South We Fear =====
What was once the [[Triumvirate]] is now but a time bomb that is approaching its explosion; and the Syrians will be the first one to feel the shock. The border between the Syrians and the [[Governatorato del Levante]] has recently started being one of the most militarised and defended borders in the entirety of the alliance. A war is approaching, and it seems that the Syrian people are heavily preparing for it too.
