So after becoming a secondary power with Argentina I had the choice wether to conquer South America or annex Madagascar. As I wanted to be cool like everyone else I decided to have a colony instead of the rest of the continent.
Really bad idea even though it went good at first: I had a small transport fleet and brought over some troops to Madagascar. As their army was really weak it didn't take long until I occupied the first few provinces. I sent my fleet back home because they were slowly running out of supplys. When I looked for it again it was gone. I can only guess they ran out of supplys and sunk on the way to Buenos Aires.
It didn't really bother me as I was rich at the time and could easily build up an new fleet. I went on occupying Madagascar as the British Empire and its allies suddenly declared war on me. They probably wanted to show me and my military government who's boss. So I started to group my remaining army against the upcoming british storm. I knew I couldn't stand a chance but at least wanted to put up a heavy fight. Problem was that a fair part of my remaining troops was up in the most northern province of Paraguay to secure peace there. A pity I hadn't taken control of entire Paraguay before. They would never agree on military access so I had no choice but fight with the sad rest of my troops. Surprisingly they didn't attack the main core of my land but invaded the south and all of a sudden had 4-5 divisions up in northern Paraguay. My few divisions there got defeated and they sent me a peace offering. The german translation was terribly bad so it said something about "narrowing Argentina", which wasn't that bad of a translation now that I think about it. All I wanted was preventing them from invading my country and it didn't say anything about that they would achieve one of my provinces so I agreed without knowing what exactly the peace treaty was about.
After that I finally annexed Madagascar, being still at war with france, russia and several smaller countrys. I realised that I lost quite a bit of troops so I wanted to recruit new units. Than I saw on what kind of treaty I actually agreed on: it was a disarmament treaty.
You, Empire, have made me, my peaceloving nature and my presidential dictatorship look like a fool again!
(Yes, I do realise I'm one of the greatest Newbies ever ...)
