Talk:War of Nations (Das Große Vaterland)

Spain
Given that France blocking Leopold's candidacy to the Spanish throne was one of the indirect causes of the war, I would have thought that Bismarck might have attempted to ally with the Spanish in order to open a third front in the war, distracting France from the attacks against Eastern France, Austria and Bavaria. It would have certainly been a great diplomatic hit. Since now the King of Spain is Amadeo (the Italian King's second son), the German-Italian alliance could help introduce the possibility of a German-Spanish alliance and boosting Amadeo's position in the throne.
