You know, Anglos, just when I think you couldn't possibly be any more insidious, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourselves!

Because it wasn't
That's what's amazing about this war
France and Austria were pretty much enemies (France had BTFO Austria out of Italy a few years before that), yet Napoleon III decided one day to invade Mexico and make some Austrian noble Emperor because why not

The 19th century was literally the Brits and (to a lesser degree) French running around, doing whatever they wanted, often mounting full-scale invasions to save a few of their citizens.
The greatest explorations and adventures happened in this period as well. People like James Brooke, Hope Grant, The Big Barbarian, the explorers in the African interior, expeditions to the North and South Pole, and on and on.
Europe was at it's peak of dominance in the 19th century, with Britain at the forefront.

That time in 1593 when Ayutthaya was being invaded by the warlike Burmese (again), so the Thai King asked for help. Because Thailand was commercially important, Hideyoshi of Japan sent 500 samurai, the Portuguese looking to suck up to the Thai king sent a bunch of artillerymen, the Spanish looking to suck up too sent 1000 Filipino warriors, and Chinese merchants whose interests in Thailand were threatened offered their ships, cannons, and hired muscle.

They weren't "Irish" really, they were a private militia of Irish-born Americans. To a certain limited extent, the American government tolerated them. Their goal was to (somehow) pressure the British into getting out of Ireland. The first raid was an ambush on unsuspecting and inexperienced local troops, and ended in Fenian retreat. None of the other raids ever approached something near as much "success".

How on earth is that insidious?
