The British have not declared war on anyone, only enlisted a much needed ally in the war against the French. We certainly do not want nor expect bloodshed or disagreement with Prussia.
Statement released from Kaiser Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig I
Prussia's understanding of the situation is that Britain has signed a MPP with a nation they (Britain) were at war with.
Not an alliance against France!
Britain was well aware the Prussian forces had landed inside Sweden and were besieging their cities. Emboldened by the MPP with Britain, Swedish forces attacked Prussian soliders before they could even contemplate withdrawing.
Under the terms of the MPP Britain
must declare war on Prussia, and Prussia must consider itself to be at war with Britain. A nation that had tried to supress any desire Prussia might have for expanding it's own influence. British policy toward Prussia seems to be 'stay still until I tell you what to do.' It seems that it now asks for Prussia to surrender it's sovereignity. If Prussia were to do that it would be to an honourable nation.
The British have portrayed Napoleon as a bully, King George should look in the mirror and deep into his own darkened soul.
At best the British efforts at diplomacy could be seen as inept (including it's latest public statement), at worst it suggests a co-ordinated effort to bring about a war with a nation that had tried to accomodate them at every turn. Even when this risked angering a much more powerful neighbour.
Despite the British refusal to share their knowledge of
naval tactics, Prussia was able to build a force to expand its influence on water which form part of it's borders. We offer that knowledge to L'emperor and ask nothing in return!
When Prussia was forced into war with Russia because it's borders were violated by Britains ally, Britain neither supported it's ally (Russia) nor Prussia's right to create a buffer zone between it's people and the Czar. Prussia has been trying to bring a peaceful end to events in Russia for almost a year now.
The Kaiser calls upon all nations who would see an end to such arrogance to come to his aid. This aid may come or may not come, regardless Prussia will not rest until Britain has been humbled and will take whatever measures it deems necessary to see that Britain does not occupy any of Continental Europe.
