Hello! I am Belgium if you didn't know, and I am in need of some threading!
With Germany it can be about WWI or WWII. Or if we want to jump waaaay back, To the point where Mary of Burgundy married Archduke Maximilian, son of the Holy Roman Emperor. Or maybe even present day, after working together to form the E.U.
As for Spain, I was thinking about the marriage of Phillip the handsome to Juana La Loca, which I feel would be their first official meeting. Or maybe when Phillip the II sends "bloody" Duke of Alba to stop a revolt? I think I will save the Dutch revolt drama for when we get a Netherlands obviously.
France...you have invaded Belgium how many times now? We have ALOT of choices if you are interested!
England is someone else I would like to try a thread with! The Treaty of London is the main thing or course. Or maybe she can be a refugee during the first world war. I also learned something quite interesting! When Belgium tried to make an alliance with The United States of America in the late 1800s, he vehemently opposed and would not let her. Take that as you like! Anyway, any one of those sounds like it would be fun to play out. All up to you!

Hey, I like the fact that you are thinking so far ahead and helping me cut down on research time. <33333
Now for the two events...
@marriage of Philip of Burgundy and Juana de Castilla: There were actually two marriages, the proxy marriage and the ceremony. Based off of what I dug up, I'm guessing that you are talking about the ceremony, when they actually see each other when they get married (because the other one takes place in Valencia). I can't say I have thought too much about how Belgium comes to live in Spain's house -- but give me a bit of time to figure that one out. Part of me wants to say that Spain (and his monarchs) would be too busy dealing with the Habsburgs at the wedding to really have time to interact with the other countries. And I kind of always seen that event as more of a Spain meets Austria type of an event. However, we can figure out how they meet -- let me get back to you on that (this weekend).
@fernando Álvarez de Toledo's government of the Low Countries: I guess this is the part where I whine and whine about how we need Netherlands. Yeah, I agree with you on the Dutch Revolt (nothing more awkward than having a Dutch Revolt than not having a Netherlands). As for the revolt, do you mind pinpointing me to a specific revolt so I can take a look at it? I see this being the most interesting thread (Dios Mio, another revolt thread).
Muchas gracias! <3

Awesome!
If you don't mind waiting for a while, I'd be up for WWI or WWII. Can't do the Archduke thing because I don't play the Holy Roman Empire and Ludwig/Germany was first "born" as a proto-nation around August 26, 1866 — well over 300 years after Archduke Maximilian died.
Anyway, if you have a preference for battles/scenes, let me know. I won't be able to start for a few weeks yet, but it's never too early to plan. ( There are some upcoming, planned threads I have to take care of first, and I never get involved in more than 2-3 threads at a time because that's all I can keep up with ).

Considering the American's nearly declared war on us AGAIN during the late 1800s I'd say that's why XD theydidn'twantusintheircivilwar 8<
Although, without an exact date to what you mentioned I can't be totally sure on that. I can't find what you're talking about... But I'm probably not looking hard enough XD
To be honest I'm good with either. The refugee idea sounds more interesting as a whole, simply because treaties... Well they're treaties XD
I see why you'd want to do it though, it's a pretty important part of her history at the end of the day. However, wouldn't you also want to involve Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, and the Netherlands? All of these were involved in the recognition of it... We were just pissy little sods who made demands on neutrality CB
If you just wanted to do something with us though then we could certainly do something with England/he and his people being all 'DUDE, GOTTA BE NEUTRAL Bl' or whatever XD
At the end of the day I'd be pretty good for whatever you're happy with.
Edit;
I was reading about the Battle of Britain today.. Apparently 28 people from Belgium fought in it for us. That'd be totally badass to work with imo. If you wanna go for that I'd love to~ /likes her British WW2 stuff XD

Antonio: Ha...well, thank you but it appears I was not specific enough xD. I can understand why you would see that more as an Austria thing. As for the revolt...I returned my awesome Belgium book back to the library, so I am not sure. I don't think the book even gave me a specific name...
"On August 22, Alba, accompanied by a body of select Spanish troops, made his entry into Brussels. He immediately appointed a council to condemn without trial those suspected of heresy and rebellion. On June 1, 1568, Brussels witnessed the simultaneous decapitation of twenty-two noblemen; on 6 June followed the execution of the Counts of Egmond and Hoorne." That was one of the things he did. He was pretty harsh all together.
In 1576 Spanish troops(under the Duke of Alba) attacked and pillaged Antwerp, over three days that came to be known as "The Spanish Fury". The soldiers rampaged through the city, killing and looting; they demanded money from citizens and burned the homes of those who refused to (or could not) pay.
There are some for you! The second one may or may not be exaggerated for propaganda purposes.

Ludwig: Ah I see, so you don't play HRE as well? That's fine! So then WWI or WWII. Maybe just a scene where, after chasing her all the way up to the English channel area, they get in a fight in an old castle or fortress or something. Then he would totally win. It can be dramatic and stuff. Although the Belgians did protect one section of the coast, which was vital when the allied forces of WWI ultimately reclaimed the area and defeated Germany.

Arthur: Ohhh~ The WWII Battle of Britain bit sounds really cool actually. So does the refugee thing. I would love to do both eventually. But pick whichever you wish to start with if you like.

Nope. I see Germany and the HRE as two related, but separate entities. I don't believe Germany is the reincarnation of the HRE either, and if I turn out to be wrong about this I'll just have to modify this site's canon to say that he isn't here, because I have no interest in playing HRE or exploring that plot twist with Ludwig ( I don't know much about HRE, either ).
I guess you could say I'm a rare Hetalia RPGer — I will only play Germany, and only on a historical site. Some might call this limiting, but I have an insane amount of passion, muse, and love for writing him. =^.^=
Your plot idea sounds great to me! Exciting and fun! Sadly it's looking like I will be booked a bit ( especially once I start a thread with Italy, whom I've all-but-promised one to ), but one of my threads will be ending soon and depending on what happens, I may be able to pencil you in sooner if the opportunity arises.

Ah, the Sack of Antwerp, I remember reading that when I put together a profile for Netherlands. There's so many revolts, names of saints and colonies to remember, there's no way for me to remember EVERY one. Anyway! From what I remember of Antwerp, I believe that Willem of Oranj was the Margrave of Antwerp and so though technically Antwerp is part of Belgium now, it seems that Netherlands had some pretty strong military influence over that region. So I think that the event once again, needs a Netherlands (especially since it is the Dutch who are doing a lot of the fighting). I still believe that it's important for a Netherlands to participate in that event, though I'm sorry I'm being such a pain. ;~; You know of any Netherlands we can bribe to come join?! |

Antonio: Baww okay. I see! Well, I don't know of any that could join right now. I will keep my fingers crossed though! I can wait~
----
Arthur: Alright, it's a deal then. Battle of Britain for sure! My friend Poland wants to join in too! Would a thread with three people be okay? : D There were many really daring Polish fighters too!

Ludwig: I understand! Whenever you are ready!

That's fine with me XD
Would you be cool with me setting up an individual thread to plan this? It actually involves a few countries, so it may be worth seeing if they'd want to join too~

Hey Belgium, I'm thinking things over again... and with the end of the War of Spanish Succession, there's a treaty that forces the Spanish monarchy to give up the territories to the Habsburg monarchy. You wanna try a Belgium prepares to move to a new house and they reminisce while she packs type of a thing? I know you still ton' really have a thread, but hey, we can shoot for something. It wouldn't be a thread about an actual historical event, but it does recount what had just happened.
Let me know~
