Speaking of the most anxious nation in the world recently, that title must belong to the French, who have always considered the British as their rivals.
Looking carefully at the achievements of the United Kingdom in the last two years, they have taken control of Central America, acquired Persia, and fully controlled the Middle East.
With the help of Australasia, the United Kingdom has absolute say in both Europe and the World Alliance, while France, despite being undoubtedly the strongest country on the European Continent, has far less influence in Europe than the United Kingdom.
The Naval Limitation Treaty has made it impossible for the French to catch up to the British navy-wise, and their diplomatic isolation has also left them feeling endangered.
After much consideration, the French felt it necessary to find themselves an ally, a reliable ally of great power level to alleviate their pressure.
