SUA and Spain joined Venezuela and a big opportunity showed up... The best possible start ?
Claimed White House (that would cripple USA bureaucracy, they do badly after they lose Washington)
And a Puppet Spain war goal
This wouldn't be possible directly as if i try to start that more European nations would join to help Spain.
So to recap i'm at war with France, half of South America, USA and Spain. in 1846... i learned some new things in this war

France, as expected, put all troops in Madras treaty port.
I was pretty confident that i dont have to use any generals there. A few North India states generals with some 50 troops were enough (they got good troops those states North of India).
Initially French got a few wins but after i sunk most of their convoys the Sikh generals pushed them out, no assistance from me needed.
My generals were doing other things:
the bigger ones:
- one naval invading Washington
- one defending Gibraltar (all attempts to atack out of Gibraltar failed, i guess you need superiority in numbers to get out of a practical encirclement)
- one holding 5000km of front in Canada ...
the smaller ones were finishing up Argentina and Venezuela, after Bolivia and Chile surrendered

French got super lucky, they have 2 monster generals like this one (and my general in London , where i had most barracks, turned out to be a bum. Seems all next traits are put after battle, didn't try to see if they get random traits or they are fixed and hidden ) :
Best attaking general from North Sea HQ took Washington, then i freed him and sent him to invade Valencia in Spain.
Once he landed the Spanish sent some troops to defend there and i was able to advance out of Gibraltar too. Spain troops were pretty poor so they were occupied pretty fast.

USA took a while to get to -100 war support but after a 2 years war i'm finally at peace , with Washington, Spain puppet , Venezuela and best states from Peru, Bolivia and Chile.
At start the war seemed scarry but once you ignore France troops that can't do nothing after they lose at sea it wasn't that bad, only a lot a troops to move and paying attention to what happens

A restart? Oh, when it was going so well. Keep following btw, sorry for lack of replies.

the main reason for restart was that my PC couldn't handle migration after 42 years, no chance to finish the game
while a replay i also have time to plan the new PC buy, is long due
Couple years have passed while getting new smaller territories without wars till one random war popped up
2 naval invasions to start the fighting and was a sealed deal. Growing too fast can have unintended results, next time i declared war on China they backed down. It will take a while to puppet them with a rate of 1 state every 5 years ....
Took another 8 months to finish that war, had to occupy Moscow for Russia to capitulate. Their troops were pretty bad so seems like a god target to weaken next
After a few more South America puppets/conquest that backed down something weird happened
Austria declared Cut Down on Size but backed out few weeks later. Didn't checked if they had another war on them, just moved on.
