"As the Assembly is aware, last week Communist revolutionaries seized Rio de Janeiro, overwhelming the Brazilian army and local civilian militias. What is less well-known is that the Communards then proceeded to assault the Royal Palace. It is my solemn and somber duty to report to the Assembly that Empress Isabel, may God rest her soul, was shamed, tortured, and executed in her own home. The Assembly will understand why this is an even more personal issue for myself, as now-Emperor Pedro III--who is blessedly with us here in France during this madness--is my son-in-law.
"We return to matters the Assembly knows: the new Communist government has seized all foreign assets, has declared all of its debts void, and has seized nationals from multiple countries in an attempt to de-incentivize an outside invasion. As unfortunate as it would be to provoke them, nevertheless I stand convinced that the barbarity of this regime will merely grow if it is permitted to stand any longer than necessity demands.
"I believe the Assembly will agree that, even in spite of our weariness, no true Christian man would permit such inhumanity to reign. Therefore: in keeping with France's strategic goals of limiting the spread of Communism, and of protecting her nationals and their property, it is my duty this day to inform the Assembly that there now exists a state of war between France and the so-called 'People's Commune of Brazil.'
"France seeks no territorial aggrandizement from this war; she seeks only to restore good government to Brazil, and to return her esteemed cousin Pedro to the throne of his forebears. We will be gentle to the people, but a fury to the Communards. This I swear."
-Speech of Napoleon IV to the Assembly, declaring war on the People's Commune of Brazil, 2 June 1908.

honestly I feel like the addition of the ability to create factions in HoIIV was a big mistake that will reduce the truly world war feel of the game
i liked HoIIII's faction system the best

Because of the geographic vastness of Brazil--and because of the inferior African garrisons the wearied and battered French army was forced to rely upon--the war in Brazil took longer than the General Staff expected. Unfortunately, this gave the Communards time to loot cities, indoctrinate soldiers, and, finally, to flee into Brazil's jungles, vowing to break the stranglehold of the capitalists once again in the future. They will no doubt return to cause trouble once again soon. But, for now, Brazil is safe.
In late December, with all of the Communists having fled the major cities, Napoleon IV deemed it safe to send his son-in-law Pedro back to Rio, which was garrisoned by a full French army, to resume the throne. Pedro arrived on January 6th and, although there was never a formal Communist surrender, Pedro's landing in Rio is dated as the restoration of the monarchy.
The Communist abrogation of the Brazilian Constitution was used by Pedro (and Napoleon IV) as a convenient excuse to create a new "constitution," which in reality amounted to a scrap of paper legalizing the total power of the monarch as part of a "measure of necessary security" until "such a time as the Communist traitors surrender." Pedro III and Napoleon IV both, of course, knew that the Communist government effectively did not exist any longer, and therefore could not surrender. Therefore, Pedro III was, de facto, elevated to a position of absolute authority.
Aside from beginning to execute expected Communists, Pedro III's first act as Emperor was to sign a treaty with France legalizing French military occupation of Brazil as an anti-Communist measure. Just as Brazil's new "constitution" effectively made Pedro III an absolute monarch, this occupation treaty effectively made Brazil a satellite state of France.

Factions make a lot of sense for certain Nations, specifically the USA and Japan. I think France's Petite Entante needs some means of merging with the Allies/Commonwealth otherwise it's just a stupid idea.

While the war in Brazil raged, the Treaty of Vienna was finalized, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was finally broken apart.
Initially Napoleon IV had great plans for the constituent states of the Empire, but he was rapidly disabused of working with most of them when Communist Serbia proclaimed the creation of a "Yugoslavia" only to realize that there was no interest in any of the other local Slavic states for a union with the Communist power; after a month of petulant stubbornness, Serbia was forced to admit that it was no such union, and the union-that-never-was failed before it even had a chance to begin.
With Serbia's failure and the potential of a Slavic union abandoned, Napoleon IV was less inclined to meddle in the Balkans, which were already becoming a battleground for the influence of other powers. He was interested in maintaining French ties with the powerful Hungarian and Czechoslovak states, but, so far as the monarch was now concerned, they represented the only potential allies in a chaff of illiterate and backwards mongrel-states.

Is there a way to see if an army is a professional army or just mobilized peasants?
Jaxson Thomas
That's the plan, my man. I've got the No More War modifier from the war with Austria-Hungary right now, and I need to reform my army and navy before I go for it, but that's the next war we're fighting.
Different Napoleon, senpai. My alliance with Italy is more important than some slavshit land tbd.
Not that I didn't want to form Yugoslavia, but Serbia fucked that up so now they're going to have to wallow in their own stupidity.
Matthew Reyes
literally meaningless in macroeconomics like Victoria II represents
enjoy your one-way trip back to red dit
hover over the unit sprite and then read the three numbers in the columns. the first is infantry, the second cavalry, and the third artillery.
If it's 25,000/0/0 then the army is entirely infantry and it's safe to assume that it's mobilized peasants.

With the fall of the Mahdists in Sudan and the implementation of liberal reforms in France which permit Muslims a handful of trinket rights, the Arab revolts finally end. Arabs still yearn for nations of their own, but they have at least accepted that, for now, France is too mighty to contest.
The African colonies are safe, and not a moment too soon--with British colonial garrisons numbering in the hundreds of thousands stationed along the French colonial border in Nigeria and the Gold coast, it is more evident than ever that France's colonial garrisons must once again be expanded in the near future.
Seriously, Britain has almost 400,000 troops between Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, and Benin. What the fuck are they all doing there?
