The Hellenic Civil War started early on in 2279 when a rebel group sprouted up around greece controlled by the Hellenic Socialist States or HSS. The rebels took strategic points in greece and for the first few months the Soviet Union and the Baltics, an HSS ally, said that they were not going to join the war. But when Athens was almost under the complete control of the rebels, the Soviets joined the war on the side of the HSS. Soviet troops left from Crete to attack the Peloponnese and Soviet troops from the East stormed in. Athens was soon put back into firm hold by the HSS and the rebels were being pushed north. The soviets then called for all PCS nations to participate in some way with the invasion. China and Egypt sent aid, Arabia sent weapons and some troops, and Yugoslavia officially joined the invasion. Just a short while after Yugoslavian troops entered greece, a ceasefire was called with the HSS and soviets asking for diplomacy. After a span of a full year, diplomacy had gone nowhere. Eventually the HSS ended the ceasefire and quickly destroyed the rebellion
