Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

While Dutch Foreign Minister Mari Philippe was visiting Mexico City, the news that he expressed support for Mexico's resistance to the Austro-Hungarian invasion was spread around the world via telegram, causing a sensation.

Three days later, on May 1882, 5, the Brazilian Empire demanded an immediate armistice from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Brazilian Prime Minister Fonseca made a statement directly in Sao Paulo: "I have contacted President Garfield of the United States and Prime Minister Jules Danetang of the Netherlands via telegram, stressing to them that we in Brazil support Mexico's position and that our three countries need Take immediate action to stop the Austro-Hungarian Empire's war against Mexico and ensure peace and stability in the Caribbean Gulf, while ensuring that Austria-Hungary abides by the rules of peace in Latin America and ceases aggression."

Prime Minister Fonseca expressed in Sao Paulo that he was worried that the war between Austria-Hungary and Mexico would spread to other countries throughout Latin America and asked Austria-Hungary to stop continuing to wage war.

The Prime Minister of the Brazilian Empire, Fonseca, who suppressed the Brazilian Emperor Pedro II, said that the Brazilian Empire would recall its ambassador to Vienna to protest against the Austro-Hungarian Empire's war against the Republic of Mexico.

At the same time, German Prime Minister Bismarck visited Sao Paulo in the Brazilian Empire and met with Brazilian Prime Minister Fonseca.

Brazilian Prime Minister Fonseca met with German Prime Minister Bismarck and stated that His Majesty the Austro-Hungarian Empire would immediately stop the war in Mexico.

Bismarck said that the ceasefire could only be said to be temporary and partial, and that the German Empire was an ally of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The reason why it supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire in launching this war was because Mexico had Yuca's management of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Under the provocation of the Tan Peninsula, the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not bear it anymore and launched a full-scale war.

Bismarck told Fonseca directly in Sao Paulo that Austria-Hungary had the right to defend itself.

After the meeting between the two, Fonseca had already told Bismarck that Austria-Hungary must end the war against Mexico, and pointed out that the Austro-Hungarian war of aggression caused huge casualties to Mexican civilians. They were innocent, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had caused huge casualties. Huge casualties are a war crime.

He has instructed the judiciary to refer the International Tribunal in The Hague to investigate war crimes committed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

However, Bismarck disagreed with this statement. The first stop of his trip to the Americas was Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Before his departure, he told a reporter from the European Times in Berlin that if Mexico continues to launch a war against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the war continues, and all Latin American regions unite against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, will the German Empire become a Latin American empire? When regional countries hate a country, Bismarck said that this is the focus of discussion during his visit to Latin America.

A spokesman for Gladstone's British government publicly stated that the United Kingdom is exploring a series of measures to suspend the Austro-Mexico War with the German Empire and Austria-Hungary to help pave the way for peace negotiations between Mexico and Austria-Hungary. .

However, the spokesperson of the British Prime Minister's Office emphasized that the ceasefire between the two parties in the Mexican War should be temporary and partial. He reiterated that the United Kingdom will not prevent Austria-Hungary from exercising its right to self-defense, especially since Mexico has not recognized the Yucatan Peninsula for more than ten years. This was despite the fact that the Austro-Hungarian Empire ruled for many years and often created disputes.

Bismarck's views in St. Paul were also the same as those of Gladstone in London. Obviously, after this confrontation, the two powers issued actions to support the Austro-Hungarian Empire in public statements around the world.

In response, Prime Minister Fonseca of the host Brazilian Empire directly warned that because Austria-Hungary was not prepared to end the war, it was rapidly pushing the conflict between Austria-Hungary and Mexico into a regional war that threatened peace in the Americas.

Fonseca even directly stated that because Mexico is an ally of the Netherlands and many Latin American countries, and Britain and Germany are allies of Austria-Hungary, it remains to be seen whether this will eventually become a world-class war. In short, because The ceaseless war between Austria-Hungary and Mexico brought the world to the brink of world war.

With the tough statements made by the two prime ministers of the British Empire and the German Empire respectively, many countries began to worry that their own countries would be affected.

Especially Central American countries and southern Latin American countries. On May 1882, 5, after the Central American Federation of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and El Salvador unanimously condemned the atrocities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's invasion of the Caribbean, as the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not restrain itself, even Bismarck still went his own way. After publicly showing no compromise when visiting Argentina, these five countries began to join Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Ecuador in the south to denounce the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At the same time, they also publicly stated that they did not welcome Bismarck to visit their countries.

He also criticized Austria-Hungary for trying to find excuses for its years of encroaching on Mexican territory and treating Mexicans in the Yucatan Peninsula as second-class citizens.

These countries have expressed their disbelief that the German Empire is a fair and just country, and even more distrust that Britain is a responsible mediator.

Therefore, various countries expressed support for the role of Prime Minister Fonseca of the Brazilian Empire as the coordinator of the war.

At the same time, these countries also supported the President of the United States of America, James Garfield, and the Prime Minister of the Brazilian Empire, Fonseca, to help stop the war.

Well, the Brazilian Empire was a derivative country of Portugal, but because Pedro II was suppressed by Fonseca in Brazil, Portugal's influence in Brazil gradually declined and local forces rose.

The Confederate States of America has always been anti-British. At the same time, it had quarrels with France and had disputes with the Netherlands some time ago.

However, the victory of pro-Dutch candidates in the recent general election has in turn alienated relations with Germany.

Therefore, few countries would consider the role of the Commonwealth of America as a neutral coordinator unsuitable.

These two countries seem to be the perfect coordinators.

However, the problem is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has now reached the south of Mexico City and occupied a quarter of the country's territory.

At this time, would Austria-Hungary be willing to withdraw from the great situation in Mexico?

When withdrawing from the country, what concessions will be made? Will it return to the original Yucatan Peninsula?

Under what circumstances should we go back?

On the other hand, Mexico had been planning to drive away the Austro-Hungarian Empire from its territory from the beginning, but now the war seems to be going in the opposite direction. As a result, will Mexico City give up this idea?

What role will the Netherlands play behind Mexico?

Will Mexico agree to make concessions?

The Netherlands has publicly stated since the last time that it will not let Mexico suffer defeat. Is it holding back its big move and preparing to explode?
