last bump ;___;
Why bother?
polandball is cancer
Because he only wanted the lands that were formerly the German Empire before 1918 (Territories ceded to Germany in the Brest-Litovsk Treaty were included)

why did he try to get St. Petersburg then
he could have stopped earlier
also Austria was not part of the german empire
>>132016920
When you are at war with Russia you move to military defeat that country
A notion people once understood.

And Austria was part of the Holy Roman Empire
It was part of Bavaria until Frederick II cleaved it in half to punish the Duke for failing to send military aid to his campaign
Because it would have taken a lot of effort for minimum gains. Switzerland might have the best natural defenses of any country to ever exist. You'd have to climb through mountains to get to it, mountains whose passes are rigged with explosives and have built in defensive structures. Have fun driving WWII era tanks through the alps. It would have been a fucking nightmare to invade. The best bet would have been to bomb them into submission, but if they don't submit you've wasted a ton of money and time.
Combine that with the fact that they were neutral and the risk/reward analysis doesn't pan out.
