Concert of Europe Part III?

Very interested in taking back my role as King of France.

I will write something about it!

So so,

I expect the following events to happen:

- South America War of Independence: Spain is going to face a huge revolution in South America. It will be interesting to see how the european powers will make their moves. Will they help the republicans led by Brazil, or will they stand together against republicanism?

- Grand Duchy of Piedmont succession crisis: with the last treaty signed between France and Austria, it was specifically stated that should Benedetto have no legitimate heir, IRL Louis XVIII's wife would inherit, and IRL LOUIS XVIII and his wife in this game have a daughter, who is the current queen of France. Benedetto's first wife abdicated all her privileges facing the threat of republicans. and he was quite old: so either he died childless or he could have had children from a second wife (a habsburg I guess!) but with his first wive still alive, so BIGAMY!!!

- Russia going after the Ottomans/Kalmar Union, Prussia going after Austria

- the rise of nationalism: in Flanders/Brabant, in Poland, in Greece, in Ireland, in Italy...

- North America being unstable: republican new england, Louisiana facing being unstable

-Asia being unstable notably China

- all the bishop princes in the HRE being more and more contested



As for France, this country was in the lasr decades in splendid isolationnism, but if I would guess its diplomatic relations at the beginning of this game:

- VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP: Japan, as they have been good partners and been working well together

- GOOD RELATIONSHIP: Spain, Naples, the italian other bourbons, Louisiana (all the bourbons basically) + Prussia

- NEUTRAL: RUSSIA, OTTOMAN, SCANDINAVIA,

- RIVALS but not enemies: Britain (no war for many decades after all, France didn't even help the rebels against Britain in the US, but still they are rivals) ; Austria (Rhine borders, potential italian feud but at the same time they worked together against republicanism , and the HRE empress is french (in this game Louis XVI's granddaughter) ; China (vying for Asia domination but never in war against each others)

- ENEMIES: the Netherlands, Piedmont
