In March an unexpected and for many in the UK a saddening event occurred in the war in Hejaz, when during a major battle in El Mukalla, British forces found themselves fighting a familiar face. The new government almost immediately pledged to join the war against Hejaz and Belgium, although it was clear after their major defeat that they wouldn't be in a position to do so for a while, and France would keep the African colonies that it had taken from Italy, which would help create a springboard for operations against Communist Belgium.
