Dutch colonies. I don't mind giving Mexico Dutch colonies.

That wouldn't make sense, what would Mexico do with the colony. I say keep it and clear Mexico's debt.

Rare said
HAHAHAHAHAHA, no.

Okay, Nexerus.

Rare said That wouldn't never happen. The European nations need their colonies to make their money. Mexico might get it's debt clear and an navy, that is good.

Considering China and Japan solved their border dispute, Britain intends to freely hand over Quebec, France handed over Alsace-Lorraine, it's sensible to assume that they'd throw Mexico a bone for helping them take out the Dutch.

[bigscreech]

Mexico only won because the French pulled out right when the American civil war ended as they valued relationships with the US over imperial Mexico. Another note is this is a precursor event for the coup of 1872 which set Mexico back even further and ended in a bloody revolution that happened in the early 20 the century. France was winning the war and Mexico only won because of Frances withdrawal..

To be honest, I find the concept of Mexico taking people's colonies with its navy rather humorous. In a "that would never happen" kind of way.

with the British Navy. They have my navy helping them. It's just their troops on the ground.

If the Dutch don't have a navy in the Atlantic, and these colonies are poorly defended...? The British could just as easy trek Mexicans solders across the Caribbean.

Wait is there some British land with Central America?

[Pepperm1nts]

@Pasta: Even then I feel it's a bit of a stretch, to say the least.

Belize.

British Guiana, Belize...

Why does Mexico have those land or either one. It's close to them and they can keep a eye on it.

Conceivably, Britain could sell Belize to Mexico, sure. The point of all this is that Mexico does stand to benefit from entering this war. Take out some Dutch colonies in exchange for better relations and maybe some territorial gains plus that whole debt thing.

Staying neutral yields nothing.

Joining the Coalition makes an enemy out of the side that currently controls the seaways.

Of the three options, the former makes the most sense.

Unless the generic alliance loses...

How could they possibly lose to the Confederation of Stupid though?

Mexico having colones within South America... Sounds like when Ottoman Empire had some land within North America in Empire Total War.

Nobody said anything about Mexico annexing Guiana.

Well I was Poland and held an island fortress in newfound land lol:)

[Pepperm1nts]

Guiana is close enough to Brazil that its annexation might cause some tension, at the least.

Wall of text. I have to justify, Rare. Sorry.

[Rare]

DAMN YOU, GIANT! FOR GIVING GOOD REASONS!
