A Message from Victoria, By the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith
With this pen, I do affix my Signature to the Treaty of Salvador
This has been a message from Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Vive la France! This last year has been marked by great advances on the fields of industry and millitary, proving to the world the capacity of the French people to grow and prosper! Fellow Frenchmen, our glorious nation shall once again be respected as one of the prime great powers of the world, especially after we show the Prussians what happens when they violate our sphere of influence like what happened in Tunis.
However, contrary to what their stupid king claims, there was no order or attack on any Prussian soldier coming from our side of the border, however, if their men are dumb to the point of exploding their own ammunition depots we can do nothing but laugh at their own stupidity! There will be no compesation coming from France for the mistakes committed by your own soldiers, the war will continue in north Africa. We have no plans to escalate this into a new and bloody european war, however we will surely defend ourselves should the Prussiens try to invade Alsace-Lorraine.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland would like announce that Her Majesty's Government is currently reviewing the situation in Prussia, regarding the two belligerents of the Franco-Prussian War over Tunis. We understand that an Alliance of Defense is currently enacted between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Kingdom of Prussia, we are uncertain of the current status of the War, and until a time where further information can be gathered, the United Kingdom shall not make a ruling of support or neutrality at this time being.
This has been a message from Her Majesty's Government.
After questions coming from other Great Powers of Europe, we decided to make it clear that our intention with that war is to destroy the Prussian presence in North Africa, since it directly threatens our position and our sphere of influence. We have no designs on the Prussian European lands and promise not to attempt to annex any territories other than Tunis, relinquishing any kind of claims on the Rhine.
The Kingdom of Prussia
The King of the French's gross lies and slander are beyond the pale. The deaths of Prussian soldiers in the Saar were indisputably caused by French artillery; this is a matter of international record and has been extensively reported by neutral news outlets. There must be an answer for this crime, particularly given that all forms of aggression in this war have been of French creation, including a disgusting direct slander against our king. Either the French intentionally chose to shell our border garrison as a form of direct provocation against the people of Prussia and Germany, or the French regime is dangerously unstable and not in control of its own military. There can be no other interpretation of events up to this point.
~ Count Rudolf von Auerswald, Chief Minister
His Royal Majesty, Frederick VI, King of the Danes, Protector of the Swedes and Norwegians, hopes that this conflict remains solely in Africa; Europe can ill afford another war so soon after the wars that wreaked havoc across the first portion of this century.
Closer to home, His Majesty applaud the Norwegian choices for king. He also hope that, when that new king is to be officially named, that the Norwegian nobility will remember Christian's long service to Norway and Denmark, and the ideals of Scandinavism.
On the home front, our navy has been largely rebuilt, and now our goal will be to ensure that the Danish fleet remains a force to be reckoned with, not only in the Baltic, but across the globe. His Majesty has also indicated that the Danish Army, which is still heavily damaged from the war with Marshal Bernadotte, will be a major focus over the course of the next few years. His Majesty, is most pleased about the completion of the Danish Constitution, which now cements the Danish Kingdom as one of the freest and most liberal of nations; regarding this "Sleswig question," His Majesty has said little about the subject, and prefers the Parliament and more local government work resolve the most important of the issues; however, he is adamant in his views about maintaining unity and strength, and calls for cooler heads to prevail in these discussions.

For the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland:
For the Argentinian Republic: President Rosa
People of Argentina,
with this treaty we hope to put an end to possible tensions with the British settlers and herald a new age for prosperity in the region which will not only bring wealth but also security and thus stability to the region.
The Danish government formally condemns the actions of the French government for its heinous invasion of Prussia; this French anxiety over some Prussian holdings in Africa is unfounded, and is little more than a power ploy to maintain its position on the continent. Furthermore, the recent buildup of fortifications on the Franco-Prussian border is most disconcerting, and the Danish government deeply fears an escalation of this war from a merely colonial conflict; that the French may have lobbed a cannonball at the Prussian soldiers is even more troubling.
The Kingdom of Denmark, however, again declares that it is neutral in the conflict, and will treat both belligerents in a fair manner; the Danish Kingdom has no desire for war or petty fights over parcels of sand or rock.
The position of the Tsar is unchanged. We of course do not waive any right to discuss possible changes to the European balance from any peace talks, but our troops are not positioned for any offensive or foreign action. This is not a European wide war and nor is it yet even a full blown war between the two nations. Should both mobilize and begin to war each others homelands, we will continue to adapt a policy of armed neutrality. As far as Russia is concerned, this is a matter local to both nations and does not currently concern our interests.

The government of Brazil is extremely pleased that following years of tension between Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay the issue has been resolved and Argentina has committed to maintaining the independence of these countries.
The Kingdom of Prussia
Know now that I speak on behalf of His Royal Majesty Friedrich Wilhelm IV, by the Grace of God King of Prussia, Margrave of Brandenburg, Grand Duke of Luxemburg and of Posen, Duke of Silesia and of Pommerania, with many other titles besides.
After enduring endless provocations by the Kingdom of the French, including an unprovoked and heinous artillery attack upon its own soil and soldiers, the Kingdom of Prussia's patience has been exhausted. There has been no satisfactory explanation forthcoming from the French King regarding his military's criminal action, nor is there likely to be any rationale beyond simple aggression and a desire to further provoke the people of Prussia.
Prussia will not stand idly by while its sovereignty and borders are threatened by French arrogance and duplicity. We hereby announce the full mobilization of the Royal Prussian Army to end the threat posed by France to Prussia, to Germany, and to Europe at large. They have chosen to escalate this conflict beyond simple colonial theft into a wholesale attack upon our European territory and we shall not stand idly by while they continue their assaults against our border territory.
Henceforth, the Kingdom of Prussia shall exist in a state of full and unrestricted warfare against the Kingdom of the French. We call upon the people of Germany to join us in our righteous crusade to end the French King's aggression and to support the territorial integrity of the German Confederation by enlisting in the Prussian Army. We further call our ally, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to our defense under the terms of the Treaty of York. Together, we shall eliminate the specter of a second Napoleon once and for all.
~ Count Rudolf von Auerswald, Chief Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland has noticed the lack of an adequate response from the Kingdom of the French, who have only given vague responses when it comes to European Ambitions. They have not, however, responded to the concern that this was an accident, and have instead denied all kinds of involvement in their affair, when it is accepted in the world-wide stage that this was a French-caused explosion, and not a Prussian mistake.
As such, by the terms obligated to us in the Treaty of York, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland will announce that the Houses of Parliament, the Prime Minister, and Her Majesty, the Queen, have agreed upon, and passed, a Declaration of War against the Kingdom of the French.
This has been a message from Her Majesty's Government.
The Treaty of Königsberg said:
[X] Her Royal Majesty, Victoria I, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
[X] His Royal Majesty, Friedrich Wilhelm IV, King of Prussia
