first I allied with Great Britain.

then imperialist aggressor Netherlands declared war on me and won some battles.
I called up my population to arms and regrouped in Brussels, 30,000 soldiers strong. We pushed the Netherlands out of Belgium and occupied most of the Netherlands. As reparations for them starting the war, I took their only state in South America (Guyana, today it is Suriname)

Then I made my economy super strong and formed glorious alliance with Prussia, Great Britain, Denmark and Switzerland. We are all frowning at France right now because they started a war on Prussia (which failed horribly, and Prussia formed the North German Federation.)

Also, Luxembourg was annexed by France
so I'm pretty sure one of my allies will declare war to release it soon.

I am trying to colonize close to the Congo
right now I am debating on fighting Sokoto.

On an unrelated note, when I was playing as Argentina (I got to number one country in the world at the end) I took all of South Africa. I released some weird little South African country with a red white and blue flag as a puppet.

Well suddenly the Congo Free State event happens and my little puppet got the Free State

So it was a puppet of a puppet.

The South German Federation formed for once
I'm certain than black magic is involved somehow, but either way I will finally get to see the German Empire.

yeah, just a little.

my original plan was to take South Africa from Great Britain and expand north, but then when the Netherlands went ape they helped me greatly by completely obliterating the Netherlands fleet.

So now I feel like I owe them something, and that thing is not to attempt (and most likely fail) to take their stuff.

Basically every European country worth its salt had a African colony at some point.
Even DENMARK had a colony.

But yes, the Netherlands and the UK had parts. Britain had South Africa and some smaller parts, the Netherlands just had little tiny parts.

Also, it is useful to note that Great Britain took two Dutch (former) colonies in South Africa, Transvaal and Oranje

As of right now, nothing has happened to Algiers.
I'm pretty sure the Ottomans will invade it soon, considering they are allied with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (I modified my games history)

Every time I have played as Belgium I always make two mistakes.

After fighting Netherlands, make army mainly infantry
or
After fighting Netherlands, make army really small.

This time I have reaches a compromise. I have completely reshuffled my military into five groups (plus a colonial defense): thee infantry plus cannon regiments and two 100% cavalry regiments.

I've been reading about the American Civil War, and I noticed how useful fast groups of cavalry are. So my cavalry are used to find weak spots in the enemy line and break through, and after that my infantry can move in and occupy it.
