Surveying his surroundings, Ito Hirobumi answered reluctantly, "Your Majesty, this European Continental war is extraordinary. On the surface, it's about the French expanding in Europe, which has caused Austria's dissatisfaction and led to the outbreak of war, but fundamentally, it's a struggle for dominance over the continent.
Due to the Afghan War, England and Russia are tied up and temporarily unable to intervene in Europe, giving France and Austria a chance to defeat their rivals.
As of now, seven European countries including France, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Montenegro, and Armenia have been dragged into the war. Although the rest of the European countries are still watching, their involvement is not being ruled out.
Although France is powerful, they are fighting alone. If the war continues and more European countries get involved, they might find it hard to withstand the multitude of enemies.
