In the last decade, the Dutch lands, Dutch merchants and Dutch people have been the target of ever increasing and more horrible acts of terrorism. These acts are of such a nature, and of such magnitude that they can only be government supported insurgents that aim to overthrow the peace loving Dutch royal family. In a show of strength, the sitting monarch held a speed to the Dutch parliament, in which he proclaimed that a Dutch reaction would be forthcoming.
Dutch intelligence suggests that there are only four possible nations that could be behind these acts of terrorism: Germany, the Ottomans, Rajputana and Vijayanagar.
Just as soon as the Dutch investigations are concluded a declaration of war will be sent to the culprit nation. Any nations that ally themselves with said evil empire, will be deemed part of the Axis of Evil and be included in the demand for reparations.
The Dutch investigations are expected be be concluded sometime between 1655 and 1660.
