I am very unhappy that this French particularity is added into the game.
It can be argued that the Affair was a logical result of French late 19th century antisemitism and the social structure that makes finding scapegoats likely. But happening in so much time after the start date, the recreation of specifics around the Dreyfus case looks absolutely unreasonable.
Sure, a more general mechanics "how about we blame a minority for some government problem so the people would discuss the minority, and not the government" would be nice, and among the numerous events on the topic, some could include making a scapegoat out of a minority officer and putting him on trial and even retrial. But what we're getting is plain railroading, and it's very unfair for all the countries in which very similar events could have happened, just (in the OTL) didn't.
Literally worse than EU4 missions.
