I am happy to let Victoria die, hence why I didn't bring it up. Bigscreech intended to use Victoria as a benchmark to assess whether something is realistic or not. I corrected his use of it as a benchmark.

I threw it out there just to state that there is no point in nit picking as this rp long deviated from the proper historicaltimeline and am asserting it is pointless to nitpick on history as we know it as it is an alternative history and damn near anything can happen.

One strange event having happened in the past doesn't mean that we should all throw our arms in the air and not even pretend to make actions that are even somewhat realistic.

That and queen Victoria going insane and exercising powers that did not exist as she was merely a figurehead at this point also kind of did it in for me. I mean France would never ever willingly cede territory at this point in time. So with those events coming to pass this became more fiction then historical fiction where anything could happen I.E Japan and China singing kumbaiya as they invade Russia. Hence why I do not really look at past events as this is definitely an alternate history and the past as we know it has pretty much been thrown out the window and am enjoying it for what it is instead of nitpicking. I could nitpick for days about some of the decisions but why bother as this is fiction and for fun.

My brain cannot fathom some of the things that come to pass in this NRP.

It's a game dude, I turned my brain off for historical authenticity when France ceded Aslaice and Lorraine to Austria.

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

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

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..

I think Brazil just doesn't want more conflict erupting in the Americas because as it stands nobody is really taking any action in the American possessions of European powers. Though now Mexico is going to be escalating the war there which other American nations probably don't really want.

I was damned if I do and damned if I don't... Last thing I want is the French and British intervention into Mexico and with the state of my army I'd be steam rolled by a leaser force

Well Brazil you do not have the enemy at the gate now do you? Nor has your country been bleeding ever since it was forged in the fires of independence...
