[quote=Ottomans]The Netherlands claims that the French and Belgians would never have agreed to surrender Flanders to the Netherlands. We would like to point out that the only nation in Europe which has willingly made territorial concessions for the sake of peace has been France, which surrendered Alsace-Lorraine to the German Confederation. The Netherlands’ claim that only military force could result in Flanders being transferred to the Netherlands is thus baseless and unfounded. If anything, France has proven it is more than willing to concede land for the sake of peace. However, those who wish for war need no excuse, and the fact such an excuse was made goes only to show the level of moral degeneration of the aggressors.[/quote]

Somebody needs to tell the Ottomans that Belgium isn't in France.
