Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

1882 3 Month 28 Day.

Just when everyone was paying attention to the meeting between Nicholas Pearson and Joseph Warren, the two chairs of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States Congress.

Reigns, the president of the Mexican Senate, quietly appeared in California and participated in the trilateral negotiations there.

On April 1882, 4, the second day of April Fools' Day, Nicholas Pierson of the Netherlands, Joseph Warren of the United States, and Reigns, President of the Mexican Senate, announced in California on behalf of their respective countries the formation of a new alliance for security in the Americas. Alliance—Three Defenses and Security Dialogue Mechanism Alliance. Once the statement was announced, it caused great turmoil in international public opinion.

Obviously, from the perspective of the British-Dutch expansion car game, it is not difficult for many people to see that this alliance has become a global alliance network led by the Netherlands to prevent the United Kingdom from being defeated by the Nordic Alliance, Denmark, and Spain. , the global development power of Germany and Austria-Hungary, and also the possibility of curbing the rise of the German-Austrian Alliance in Latin America.

These cases mean that the anti-British, German and Austrian containment arc has become the consensus of the Netherlands and other countries, and that the United States will work with the Netherlands to coordinate diplomacy in the next period of time.

In recent years, with the rise of the Netherlands and its diplomatic orientation and actions becoming more and more aggressive, the European powers with vested interests, especially the United Kingdom, which has the greatest interests, will naturally take any action from the Netherlands These measures are regarded as a challenge to the existing order, and corresponding policies will naturally be adopted to fight back.

The Netherlands is also at a disadvantage.

Taking the "Dutch Atlantic and Pacific Strategic Framework" issued by the new Dutch government in March 1882 as a symbol, the new cabinet government formed by Jules Danetang of the Netherlands accelerated strategic adjustments in the hope of building an anti-British anti-British alliance from a larger geographical scope. Even the expanded anti-British, German and Austrian encirclement network.

As a result, the tripartite dialogue mechanism alliance of the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico was born.

This was an important fulcrum for the Netherlands to lead the Atlantic-Pacific region in the era of Dutch Prime Minister Jules Danetang to contain the Anglo-German and Austrian anti-Dutch opposition.

Compared with the extremely distinct regional Nordic Alliance, the tripartite dialogue mechanism alliance of the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico includes Mexico, a country at war, which will be a major breakthrough for the Netherlands in forming an alliance in a geographical sense.

At the same time, what the Netherlands does is thought-provoking.

For this reason, many scholars around the world borrowed the division of global geographical and historical locations to describe this alliance as "the overseas alliance formed in the colonies, referred to as the anti-colonial alliance", or borrowed the theory of geographical conflict of civilizations and called it the Overseas Christian Civilization Alliance. .

In short, the Netherlands seems to have formed a new alliance outside Europe that is different from the old Europe.At the same time, it is worth noting that these three countries have even "frankly" expressed their opposition to the policies of Britain, Germany and Austria in Latin America recently, and even publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with Britain and Germany for supporting Austria-Hungary's invasion of Mexico, trampling on the spirit of the public law of the Hague Tribunal. Provocatively reached a large military trade order to invade the Dutch allies.

Obviously, the three countries formed an alliance based on this argument. This action aims to prove to countries around the world the stability of the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico and the diversity of their fields. However, this kind of unreasonable alliance will undoubtedly intensify the relationship between the United Kingdom and Germany. and tensions with Austria-Hungary.

If the Netherlands and the United States chose to increase military support to the United States, it was to prevent Britain, Germany, Austria, and Hungary from expanding into the Americas. Many people can conclude that when the global pattern provoked by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom formally formed and began to compete, In order to further curb the development of Britain, Germany, and Austria-Hungary in other parts of the world, will the Netherlands increase global cooperation with Tsarist Russia, France and other countries to form another European version of the tripartite cooperation mechanism? After all, especially Russia, it But what about the Netherlands, which has been an ally for hundreds of years, by cooperating accordingly and by arming this important ally far away from the Dutch mainland to contain Britain, Germany and Austria from building a containment arc?
Regarding the above potential threats, the current German Prime Minister Bismarck clearly pointed out in a telegram with British Prime Minister Gladstone and Austria-Hungary Prime Minister Archduke Ferdinand that the formation of a tripartite cooperation mechanism alliance between the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico will trigger a new round of The confrontation between the camps will trigger military conflicts in Europe and even around the world. We cannot rule out the possibility that other countries will follow suit or even cross the threshold to join the war.

Bismarck also stated that Germany did not want to be a participant in the war between Austria-Hungary and Mexico, and Germany did not want to see this happen.

Gladstone on the British side denounced the Dutch-led alliance.

"The tripartite cooperation mechanism between the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico is called the Overseas Christian Alliance. We feel that this name was wrong from the beginning. We do not distinguish overseas and European factions. The Netherlands deliberately only divides the world. This is wrong. We do not want to cause trouble with the United States. I mean, we are not willing to have a war with Mexico. Until now, we have only had a small fight with the Netherlands. No one wants a war unless it is intolerable."

At the same time, Archduke Ferdinand, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, said in an interview with "European Times" that it would also put great pressure on Austria-Hungary, including the Triple Alliance mechanism of the Netherlands, the United States and Mexico, as well as the military cooperation and potential military mutual assistance between the three countries.Some concerns were expressed.

However, driven by the so-called safeguarding of America’s security interests, the tripartite alliance mechanism of the Netherlands, the United States and Mexico will sincerely accept the earnest “advice” from Britain, Germany, Austria and other countries?

In general, when Jules Danetant first took up this position, the cabinet government began to launch a global offensive, especially the trade offensive against Germany. Now it is non-stop to open a second battlefield and intensify its trade offensive. The aggressive military and political actions of Britain, Germany and Austria fully exposed the tough diplomacy of the new Dutch cabinet government.

The tearing of the seemingly mild fig leaf of mutual attacks between the Netherlands and Germany in private shows that the Dutch diplomatic strategy has given up on its low-key side in the past and entered a new stage.

These cases prove that the Netherlands no longer has the respect and sincerity it once had for Britain, Germany, and Austria-Hungary. It also means that building a containment arc between Britain, Germany, and Austria has become the consensus of the three parties in the Netherlands. Perhaps, the Netherlands' diplomatic changes have become the gunpowder that ignited the situation around the world. bucket.

Although the handling methods of the Netherlands, the United States, and Mexico are controversial, the alliance with the United States has great historical strategic significance, and has the potential to connect the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to form a Dutch global alliance.

Holland, maybe the picture is not small!
