They were TO and got raped by Bohemia, who then proceeded to eat all the way through Poland and Lithuania to Minsk. Strangely, the Czechs didn't even need to ask Russia, Austria, or Prussia for permission.

A nation could have an absolute maximum of 5 magistrates. When diplomats succeded with their negotiations, they didn't come back. Same thing with spies, merchants, missionaries and colonists.
Though conquered for over fifty years prior by the armies of Scotland, English nobles had the last laugh when they persuaded the impressionable young king to unite the land as Great Britain during the regency council, moving the capital from Edinburgh to London.
A barely legitimate ruler, found in the reeds and adopted by a bereft emperor, used his innate administrative talent to westernize Byzantine society following their reconquest of Rome and Asia Minor.
Taking personal command of an army shortened many a monarch's life by decades, even if they never took that army into battle.

The Ottoman Turks, after staving off Timur, proceeded to conquer the Golden Horde. Despite garrisoning all fortresses and having roving armies to put down rebellions, all the world still considered the Golden Horde a legitimate existent (if occupied) country 150 years later- with the Ottomans at war with them. Multiple German-Catholic city-states, feeling that the Ottomans must be totally preoccupied 
rolleyes with war with the Horde, declared a Holy War on the Empire; despite the presence of an army 10 times the size of theirs standing on the frontier. This they did without a single ally in the world. After losing their army quickly, their 2000-man garrison felt confident enough to ask the Ottoman general of 22,000 for peace: "Tell you what, kind sir, if you just give us all the money your country has, and, while your at it, cede land to create a Greek country (or maybe two, depends on how merciful we feel), we'll let you and your army walk away". The sheer audacity of the offer led to the slaughter of the entire garrison, and the annexation of the city-state. At which point another German city-state felt it was their duty to do the exact same thing.
Despite being militarily and technologically superior to their Christian enemies to the west, the Ottomans knew that these Christian nations had superior methods of research and strived to emulate them.

The Holy Roman Emperor, after much deliberation, decided the best possible way of unifying a German-Italian Catholic HRE under his hand was to convert to a religion which differed from everyone else's.

It came as no surprise when England revolted against Great Britain. the following avalanche(an Anglo spring if you will) of Scottish, Welsh, Irish and Cornish rebels ended up throwing great Britain out of the Isles. Luckily they found refuge in their colonies in North America.
Despite the Catholic France conquering both Iberia and Italy, the two other great European powers, Reformed Ireland and Protestant Aquileia (controlling the British Isles and Germany respectively) decided that their faiths were so wildly different that an alliance in order to contain this terrible threat wasn't possible. Fortunately, they both managed to survive because France was concentrating all its forces in North Africa, and the loss of literally hundreds of thousands of men a month to the desert conditions led to uprisings everywhere. Some of the states that formed from this were Portugal in Normandy, Navarra in Burgundy and Orleans in Sicily.
From The Castillian Conquest in the 1400's to 1821, the population of Muslims in North Africa decreased to zero.
Early on in the Hundred Years' War the Bourbons of Burgundy realized the French monarch had no chance of defeating the English and switch sides. By 1400 France had been wiped off the map, taken over completely by the English. The Burgundians then turned on their English allies. A long a bloody war between these former allies left all of Northern France under control of the Bourbons.
despite having the capability to go anywhere in the world Great Britain decided it would be best to colonize useless pieces of land on the continent and always block the player from achieving his goals
Around the 1700s, the vast and multicultural Portuguese Empire had loyal vassals in every corner of the world, and they were always very anxious to help their overlord. With naval incourses extending over the entire world, the so called "Amphibian Strike" (commonplace in the worldwide Warfare since the 1500s), Ceylonese, Vijayanagarian and Travanacorian soldiers have been succesfull in sieging and occupying Spanish and British Provinces in both Europe and the North American continent in the name of their master.
We all remember the colonies founded in Africa by the great European powers in the 19th century. What few people seem to remember though is the conquest of the entire east coast of Africa by the otherwise relatively unimportant Indian country of Bihar. Bihar was later forced to surrender these colonies to the Byzantine empire, which miraculously conquered all of Anatolia and Morocco as well, only to be conquered itself by the Pope.
I learned how Cornwall declared independence from England dozens of times, only to be annexed once their truce with England ran out each time.
The Europeans were able to wipe out hostile natives from a region in a matter of months. Which makes everyone wonder how these hardy people survived.
Castille actually had taken parts of Norway for themselves in an attempt to establish a Viking Army for their soon-to-be-united Spain.
The Golden Horde was incapable of deciding who to attack, so they just attacked everyone at their borders until they got a concession of defeat.
Peasant Rebels often engaged in combat with Nationalist Rebels, while they were fighting against the same enemy.
Denmark was unable to keep control of rebellious Norway and integrated Sweden into Denmark proper.

The allies were a bunch of morons for engineering the perfect setup for a second devestating war.
Let's NOT go off on a tangent, Emperor Hans.
The protestant followers of Jan Hus, known as the Hussites, appeared in Toledo, Spain in the mid 15th century. They were also known as Hussitos.
One portrait of Napoleon shows the Corsican ferociously leading his men atop his white steed. Although modern historians cannot agree whether he is riding on the back of a horse or an elephant.
