That was the old king that went crazy.The new prime minister is completely against everything the king was for, and is all ok now. Its ok I can make fun of Pasta because im bigger than him. You should read more IC XDTLDR - We did but then we realised how stupid that was and so we stopped.

I'll allow it cause we were both idiots during that time.

Essentially it's what happens when two NRP newbs are granted the power of the two most powerful nations in the world. :D

They realized they weren't making a good decision and sent their ships sailing back home before they'd landed on American soil.

That must have been some mighty fast messenger ship, to have been able to catch up with the strike force and call off the attack.

This isn't EUIV. Not here to make you release bourbonnais, auvergne, armagnac, orleanais, etc. We are fighting so all our nations will be free, under one banner.A German nation, an Italian nation, a Dutch nation, formerly a Greek nation. When you are willing to agree, so are we.

Those things mean entirely different things to y'all than it does to us. You are asking for things that greatly upset the balance of power in your favor. So of course we will refuse. We are perfectly fine with the war ending right now before further bloodshed, but you are essentially attempting to rob certain nations and say you will only stop attacking if we give you 'such and such.'
If y'all are willing to cease hostilities that's one thing. Giving the aggressors in this war what they want is another.

@Pepper, Edit: No strike forces were sent. Just blockading. Most that happened was 25k troops to Canada.

Hey, the Athenians were able to do it when they were about ready to execute everyone in the city of Mytilene.

Good. So there won't be any aggression against the Netherlands over the course of this war, then? Leopold I is being sent to Brussels for negotiations?

[Pasta Sentient]

So long as y'all give back Belgium to Belgium that's fine by us. Since it's not yours by right.

Do that and we will agree to ceasing hostilities.

That wouldn't be the "the war ending right now".

I'm in the IRC if other people are around.

[Pasta Sentient]

It'd be over the instant a treaty was signed giving belgium back to belgium

[bigscreech]

Why not give the dutch the northern part of Belgium and France the French speaking province Walloonia. Everybody wins.

Hmm. ..

[Dedonus]

Why don't you all hand over control of all of Europe to the Scandinavian Commonwealth.

Hey, you all would be too busy with my treaties to fight!

To be fair, the Dutch began hostilities by annexing Belgium. It's not hostile of the allies to ask for Belgium to be restored to its original form, it's actually quite reasonable.

[Dedonus]

I still think that the allies should be the Quadruple Entente.

[So Boerd]

He said cease hostilities. That does not mean rollback other wars that are already over.

Arguably, this is all part of the same war. One could say the war began the moment the Dutch invaded Belgium. I might be missing some bits here and there, but it seems to me it was at around that time that hostilities truly began. The annexation of Belgium is one of the key reasons for the war, or at least it seems so from my perspective.
