i believe so, as far as i know the left bank just gives me a casus belli against prussia for the Rhineland and prussia get's an event that gives them a humiliate casus belli against France.
Part 3: Colonial expansion
The war in Algeria continues throughout December with the first battle of the war beginning on the 29th of December when Joseph Gouraud finally corners the Algerian army in Tlecmen. The siege of Tlecmen lasts for 15 days before the Algerian army surrenders and the city falls to our troops. With the Algerian army now defeated we simply have to wait for the Algerian government to surrender.
A month later after a few minor skirmishes in Constantine and Medea the Algerians finally decide to surrender control of Algerian north central Sahara. The war officially comes to an end on the 19th of February 1845. Napoleon knew this would be an easy victory and was pleased with the quick result but now he is looking for a new target somewhere further a field against but who will be next to fall to French might?
As April arrives we receive news that Trarza has decided to grant us extraterritoriality. This means they will allow French citizens to be tried according to French law rather than their uncivilized and out of date laws.
On the 13th of June Napoleon finally decides which nation will be his next target, and that nation is Dai Nam. We expect they will give our forces far more trouble that the Algerians but in the end we will have the same result. On the 26th of July our attempt to justify a war against Dai Nam is discovered by the other great powers for 6.8 infamy. Meanwhile an army of French troops are being transported to the island of Bourbon off the coast of Madagascar where they will prepare before then being shipped to Dai Nam.
Meanwhile in south Africa the British are struggling to control the Boers. The Boers are fed up of living under British control and are moveing further north establishing theire own states. As a result the British and the Boers Sign the Orange River convention whereby the British would formally recognised the independence of the Boers in the area between the Orange and Vaal rivers, which had previously been known as the Orange River Sovereignty.
In 1846 after recognizing the independence of the Boer republics the British annex the Boer state of Natalia republic. As a result of the annexation most local Voortrekker Boers trekked north to Orange and Transvaal. Elsewhere the Chilean government is overthrown by reactionaries and war breaks out between the Russian Empire and Kokand.
On the 1st of June 1846 we declare war on Dai Nam, as our forces occupy Vinglong on the 28th of June a bigger war begins in Europe as the Prussians declare war on Austria.
On the 20th of July Vinhlong falls finally falls but so far there has been no sign of the Vietnamese army anywhere. The next few month pass by without any battles what so ever until on the 17th of October when the army of Dai Nam finally shows up and is defeated in the battle of Vinhlong. The battle was a struggle in the harsh climate but our troops managed to win in the end while suffering 6,000 casualties. A month after the battle of Vinhlong the Vietnamese are defeated yet again in the battle of Hatien on the 11th of November.
The war continues throughout the remainder of the year and into 1847 as the vietnamese continue to resist despite defeat being inevitable. On the 22nd of March the Dai Nam puppet of Cambodia’s army is defeated in the 2nd battle of Vinhlong where their small army is defeated. Not long latter the Vietnamese finally except defeat and sign the treaty of Hanoi on the 28th of May and surrender control of Cochinchina.
Things in Europe are not going well as the Hungarians rebel in 1847 which makes things difficult for the Austrians who where winning against the Prussians. The revolution slowly grows into a full blown war of independence as Hungarians gather in huge numbers to take on the Austrians. Things get even worse as 1848 begins when Schleswig Holstein rebels which provokes the Danes to attack in an attempt to annex the small German nation.
The Austrians manage to Hold their own against both the Prussians and the Hungarians for most of 1848. But slowly the Prussian armies with aid from the British force the Austrians from Silesia but with great difficulty. On the 20th of March 1849 the Russians send armies into Hungary to aid the Austrians and decide to act as a peace maker in an attempt to end the Austro-Prussian war. The Hungarian revolt officially comes to an end on the 16th of May 1849, with the Austro-Prussian war coming to an end 2 week later after the Russians threatened Prussia with war if they did not accept a white peace.
Just as the drama in Europe ends another series of wars begin in North America as the Americans declare war on the Mexican Empire in late May, then on the 8th of August the British declare war on the Americans after failing to agree a resolution to a territorial dispute. As 1849 comes to an end things have changed greatly but tensions in Europe continue between the great powers but what will happen next, perhaps the tensions between the Americans and the British spill over into Europe.

i was gonna wait for the casus belli when colonization begins to annex them (unless i dont get a casus belli against them). does anyone know how i annex tunisia, is there an event that let's me annex them in NNM?Next step - full annexation of Algeria
Two very successful additions to Empire. I must concur, tidying up North Africa seems like a logical enough step.
By the way, there is a typo in the following line "Things in Europe are not going well as the Hungarians rebel in 1847 which makes things difficult for the Austrians who where winning against the Austrians" - brother war indeed!

Tunisia does indeed seem like a good idea.
Incidentally, is the Treaty of Hanoi an event you get if you occupy enough of what was Indochina?

im not sure really, it was a decision i noticed i could take it a little while into the war and it ended the war and gave me what i wanted
The Austrian Empire must be preserved at all costs!
Well, French Algeria/North Africa is taking pretty good shape. I would have to say, when the time comes, you will be in prime position to be the great winner for the Scramble for Africa I think!
Well spotted - LOL. Didn't see that.
I would have guessed as a result of revolution, but then there hasn't been one... Perhaps the Capitalists are producing multiple newspapers?
it might have changed because im now a republic with Napoleon as president. if that's not why it changed then i dont know why it might have changed.
Excellent expansions. With Dai Nam brought into the fold you'll have an excellent base to expand further into the Pacific from. Nice update.
good to have you aboard, glad you liked the AAR hopefully you will like what comes next.
so can anyone with a knowledge of the NNM tell me if there is an event to annex Tunisia? or have i got to actually take it because they are a Ottoman puppet (i think).
Part 4: Napoleon III
In North America the war between the Mexican empire and the United States continues with the US forces now having reached as far south as Monclova. At the same time the Americans manage to fend of minor British attacks across in the state of Washington. At the moment it seems the British don’t want to escalate the war above a minor border conflict over Washington. While war rages on in North America a new war begins in South America on the 28th of April when Brazil declares war on the breakaway state of Rio Grande Do Sul.
As May comes to an end the war between the Netherlands and Belgium ends in a white peace. A few months later in September a crisis begins as Prussia decides to support Latvia against the Russians. We immediately decide to join the Russian side preferring the status quo to encouraging others to seek out independence. None of the other great powers choose a side until March 1851 when after much persuasion from Napoleon the Austrians decide to join our side. A few days later the Spanish join our side and the Prussians accept a white peace on the 23rd of March.
On the 7th of September we decide to take a look at the National paper to discover that the war between the Mexican empire and the United States has finished. Following the US victory in the battle of Huamantla it wasn't long before the Mexicans began to seek peace terms. Most of the Mexican empire was occupied by the Americans and most of its military destroyed but peace finally arrived with the signing of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Elsewhere the Uruguayan government is overthrown by rebels and the price of Machine parts collapses.
On the 24th of February 1852 the war between Brazil and Rio Grande Do Sul comes to an end with Brazil annexing the small breakaway state. A few weeks later the Egyptian government grants us the right to excavate and investigate ancient ruins in the Valley of the Kings.
A new crisis begins on the 1st of April, this time the Crisis is begun by us when Napoleon decides to proclaim France as the sovereign authority over the Christian population of the Middle East and issues demands to the Ottoman Empire that they recognize us as such. This is a position that was previously held by the Russian empire, fearing war the Ottomans initially refuse but Napoleon orders the Mediterranean Fleet to enter the black sea in violation of the London Straits Convention. After our show of force the Ottomans agree to our demands on the 13th of April.
After the Ottoman Empire agreed to our demands the Russian Tsar deployed the 4th and 5th army corps along the River Danube in Wallachia threatening war unless the Ottomans reverse their decision. The Russians began diplomatic moves in an attempt to avoid British and French interference in the war but both of us decide to remain strong and join the war to protect the Ottoman Empire. The Crimean war begins of the 16th of April with the Russian troops marching into the Danubian Principality of Moldavia and defeat the Ottoman army in the battle of Silistra, meanwhile the Russian fleet destroys the Ottoman fleet in the eastern black sea.
On the 1st of May the Mediterranean transport fleet in intercepted by the Russian navy in the Aegean Sea. At first the fleet was able to take on the weaker Russian ships but soon reinforcements arrive and the fleet is forced to retreat to an Ottoman port before all the transports carrying the 1st army can be destroyed. To our surprise the Spanish join the war is support of the Ottoman Empire on the 20th of May.
On the 28th of July the 1st army finally reaches the front line and battles the Russians in the battle of Tulcea. General Francois Duchene takes on the Russian leader Dmitry Brusilov while the Wallachia army prevents their retreat northwards. The battle ends on the 9th of July with the Russians suffering almost 3 times more casualties than our forces. With their path northwards blocked the Russian army retreats southwards towards Constanta where they are defeated on the 26th of July.
After a brief encounter with the Russian navy near the straits of Messina in August the 3rd army arrives in Ardahan on the 15th of September. From there they move into Kars to intercept a Russian army, the Russians took refuge in an old fort that resulted in a 2 week long siege that finally ended on the 4th of October. The battle resulted in the capture of 10,000 Russian troops and an additional 2,000 dying.
After a brief Anglo French invasion of Crimea and a siege of Sevastopol the Russians decide to surrender after a series of defeats on all fronts. The treaty of Paris is signed on the 18th of December. The treaty forced Russia to cede territory it had been granted at the mouth of the Danube to the newly formed Romania and abandon its claims to being the protector of Christians in the Ottoman Empire in favour of France.
In January 1853 yet another crisis begins with the Russians supporting the Hungarians in an attempt to regain some prestige after defeat in the Crimean war. We immediately support the Austrians against Russian aggression, a month later the Danes show support for the Russian empire and Hungary. The crisis continues for another 4 months until it finally concludes on the 1st of July after the Prussians and Spanish decided to join us in supporting Austria.
On the 14th of September 1843 President Louis Napoleon stages a Coup d’etat which ends in the dissolution of the French National Assembly and the t re-establishment of the French Empire with Louis Napoleon becoming Emperor Napoleon III. Emperor Napoleon III has now reclaimed his uncle’s throne, as president he has achieved several great achievements but what will he now be able to achieve as an emperor?
On the 3rd of January 1854 under orders from Napoleon III, Admiral Febvrier Despointes took formal possession of New Caledonia a small island in the Pacific Ocean adding 18,576 km2 to the French empire.
A month later war breaks out between the kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire. The Prussian make great progress against the Austrians with the superior military might of Prussia showing on the battle field due to Von Moltke’s reforms. The Prussians have managed to best the Austrians on several occasions such as the battle of Nachod and the battle of Prague. Will the Austrian be able to hold out much longer against the might of Prussia or will another nation decide to take advantage of Austria’s weakness.

With all these manoeuvrings among the great powers one can only hope for a great war at some point.
