I'm suffering from a bad case of being unable to explain an event. Specifically, what could be the explanation or justification for provinces defecting from one country to another? And does anyone have examples of this type of event happening in actual history?
In my last game (as Bremen) in a span of 150 years I got 14 provinces (3 CoT's) and a trading post by defection alone. The capper was when most of British America (four provinces including the CoT of Manhattan) came over en masse. Four years later, four Spanish provinces and one TP (including a CoT) came over.
I can't conceive of colonies just 'crossing over' like this and I just don't know how to explain this in story-terms.
