This is our second attempt at a short run as Legitimist France to restore the House of Bourbon, who ruled France prior to the French Revolution. With the experience of the previous run well in hand, I'm going to be more focused on increasing the power of the interest groups in government that support the House of Bourbon, as well as being more conscientious about weakening the ones that will support our enemies, the House of Bonaparte and the House of Orleans.
In episode twenty-three, our peaceful (peaceful!) industrial reforms are interrupted by a declaration of war by our neighbors to the north, Perfidious Albion a.k.a. Great Britain, joined by their allies, the USA a.k.a. Perfidious Albany. We marshal our network of alliances and favors with Russia, Austria, Egypt, Peru-Bolivia, Chile, China, and Aceh. We declare an aggressive counter wargoal of bringing the whole of the West Indies under French control. When the war ends, for better or for worse, the balance of power in the world will have shifted. Also, in economic news, we complete the transition to Agrarianism.
Episode Timeframe: January 1886 - December 1888
