I avoid going to war at all costs in Vicky 2 not because I care what happens to the hordes of proles that die keeping kwaZulu off my lawn, but because the war mechanics are an absolute bitch.

Edit: This also explains why people have the same thing with the confederacy; It's possible to play the US and be able to shove the slavery bits into the back of your head with the not-so-bad stuff, but since the Confederacy was pretty much purely about owning Human property you can't play them and also not think about the fact that you are essentially fighting for racism.

The real way to play the Confederacy is to make them lose in an even more hilarious fashion.

Let there be A and B and (A union B) = C.
B wants to leave C because A dominates C.
Since B voluntarily joined the democratic union C, B naturally thinks that it is free to leave C at any time.
B leaves C. A doesn't accept that and refuses to withdraw troops from B's territory.
B obviously feels its territorial sovereignty violated and demands of A to withdraw her troops from B's territory.
A baits B into dow'ing them by refusing to respect national sovereignty.

The rest is history and history is written by victors.

The actual revolution of ideas about the relation between the tiny-rear end island hundreds of miles away from it's massive colonial "posession" was going pretty peacefully until the sheer tension produced by British troops in and around Boston boiled over and war were declared.

In one timeline, Hitler was visited by three ghosts of Germany (Bismarck, Speer, and Merkel) one Christmas and decided to change his ways.

So he chooses to be fair and gives Poland all of Slovakia in return for Danzig. Hitler and Poland then take on the world together.
