In 1742 the world convenes in a World Congress. Many people ask for different cities, but the most interesting trade was that the Dutch were awarded Lyon. Bizarre.... I didn't recieve any cities because the French/German/Turkish alliance whipped up public opinion against me. In fact, when the Americans ask for Fort Albany in Canada, they get the resolution to pass. Naturally, I refused to leave the city and the Americans declared war.
The British will not stand for this type of behavior. Without pausing from their capture of Louisbourg, the British army quickly marched down to Pointe-Sainte-Anae and wrested control of the city from the rebellious Yankees.
Extra Naval reinforcements for French campaign are sent to America to blockade the American coast. Every bit of american coastline is now blockaded.
Soon, my army will march south and capture Philadelphia and be that much closer to burning Washington to the ground. On the other side of the world, my army finally captures Patna in 1745.
The British Empire has never been larger so here is a world map of our great Empire. May we continue to paint the world map red!
In 1748 the americans send a small army to try and recapture Pointe-Sainte-Anae. They send a grenadier and two cannon. After shelling my troops and losing both of their cannons, their grenadier attacks and kills a British musketeer. After many skirmishes, the last of the american forces are wiped out, leaving my troops free to recuperate to attack Philadelphia.
In 1754 my stability has begun to fall apart. Looking for ways to better my stability, I sought peace with Germany and Turkey. The British representative imperiously demanded immediate peace and the Germans readily agreed. The Turks were more difficult to placate (they had cavalry beginning to stream across the border towards Lahore while my ships blockaded the Persian and Middle Eastern ports). Delivering to them the secrets of Drama, the turks agreed to peace. Now, I can focus all of my attention on France and America.
And then in 1757, the most surprising thing happened! France collapsed!!!? Here is how the world looks now that the French are no longer players in World politics.
This changes my plans....
For tomorrow's chapter, Britain Subjegates the American West!
