[quote=Ampharos] Pretty much. There's nothing stopping Germany and Italy from DOWing France after all of this is done, Germany taking a huge chunk of France's colonial empire and Italy taking Nice, Savoy, and Corsica, never mind the goodies that the Netherlands can get. [/quote] That is a fantasy scenario that has no basis in reality, or the actions of this roleplay. Italy, Germany and the Netherlands only just made peace with France, and took absolutely nothing from them. If King William III was a land-hungry dog, why did he turn Wallonia over to France? @Pasta: You've been making alliance based generalizations for a long time now. First you assumed that I was the one behind trying to get the U.S. into a war in Canada based solely off of the fact that you figured someone from the Eighth Coalition did it, and now you're suggesting that a free trade deal between two sovereign, neighbouring countries is tantamount to Paris surrendering itself to a country in no way involved in the actions of the treaty.
