Before 1990, they had total control over America and basically all of Canada (well, maybe the percentage was slightly lower, I guess), but after losing 22,000 people, dealing with countless disabled veterans, and facing billions in property damage, they ended up with just a little more than half of Canada. Honestly, even half of Russia wouldn't be worth that many lives...
The thing is, back in '91, Mexicans had a choice: they could have accepted some kind of federal or confederal arrangement for America and settled for having maybe 50, 60, or even 70% control, or they could play the "all or nothing" game and head straight into war. They went with the latter. Man, you almost feel sorry for them... *sigh*...
The other nations didn't really have that luxury. For them, the war was forced upon them.
P.S. — how do we end up with this many civilian casualties? Is it because everyone was wearing a uniform or...? Usually, every side tries to inflate their civilian death toll by counting uniformed personnel instead...
You guys were the ones who actually had a choice!!!!
It was either a confederation or total war!
And you chose the second option!
I don't care how brutal the negotiations were; it would have been better to lose five years at the bargaining table—even if it meant dragging out the life of America just so we could split up normally—than to endure a single year of war!
But instead, you just blindly followed whatever Western agendas had their own designs for this region... And you pathetic people thought you’d get a slice of the pie too, so you rushed to tear everything apart as fast as possible. Screw everyone else, right?
Typical behavior from you...
When the Austro-Canadian Empire was strong, you stood by it. When the Reich was powerful, you stood by Hitler. Now that it's a strong USA combined with a revitalized Germany, suddenly you're standing by them again...
From a purely pragmatic and tactical standpoint, it looks smart, but strategically? You completely screwed yourselves over... and now you're left with nothing.
- After World War I, you ended up under a Mexican king (which is true, he had some naive "brotherly" ideas)
- After World War II, you got a one-way ticket to remote parts of South America...
- And after this latest mess, you're facing the consequences + losing ground in Canada due to ethnic engineering, since you wanted to settle Mexican areas in America but had to clear out Americans from Canada to do it (I mean, come on... you can't pour water from an empty cup into a hole)...
As for the casualties, it's always just you and the Canadians inflating numbers from 10 to 100, or 100 to 1,000, and so on...
Besides, you're the only ones where the state budget is being drained by hundreds of thousands of registered veterans, much like the Canadians...
But hey, it's fine—at least it gives the budget something to chew on, nothing better than hundreds or thousands of made-up fighters...
