A Franco-German Empire with its capital in Aix-la-Chapelle of course.

No it didn't.  Your ignorance of your own history is appleing... a-pauling... apolling?

[Valmy]

No it didn't.  Your ignorance of your own history is appleing... a-pauling... apolling?

Yes it did.  We kept electing Democrats who kept sending tons of money south.  Nobody raised too much of a fuss about it.

The Canadians decided it was because the North was tired of funding the South.

Well we can agree on that; the Canadians need to be blamed for everything.
