Fuck France. I'll have more to say on the matter when I get off work.

Not necessarily.Our demands would have amounted to turning the North German states into a third independent power and then establish a Polish state out of Russia.

Hmm... This throws a major wrench into my plans moving forward... Someone should form a third (major) German state that I can take over.

There isn't a game to win, there also isn't really a whole lot we actually want in a peace deal with the allies in the first place. It also doesn't mean that the current alliance that the Coalition formed will even last much longer after the war. None of us have any interest in trying to form a giant alliance to dictate control of Europe. The main reason I fought this war besides returning Italian land to my control was to stop the giant British, French, Austrian, Ottoman alliance. From the start of the game that alliance was basically stalling the progress of this NRP.

Hence why I don't think France should have joined to begin with. But they did. So now their interests should be to prevent the Dutch from gaining any land in Belgium. It seems wrong to just be like "Yeah, okay, have everything you want!" when they can still oppose them.

I think France would be more interested in stalling Germany's foundation. Backing down now is essentially letting Prussia found a world power right on its doorstep.
