In fact, the countries affected by late potato blight are not limited to Ireland, the worst of which are the Netherlands and Belgium, where the Flemish potato harvest has failed, and the rest of the country has seen an average drop in potato production of 85 percent.

As for the Belgian crop, the potatoes are only a drop in the crop, down about 90 percent.

However, in terms of the number of losses, France and Spain, which were not harmed, began a widespread outbreak of potato late blight across the country after a heavy rain in the autumn.

This, combined with the local instability caused by floods and cholera, has led to a significant increase in the number of emigration. But these people did not usher in the great development of the colonies of the two countries, but cheapened the Americans.

In fact, most of Spain's colonies were in a state of half-life, with Cuba and Puerto Rico, each known for its sugar and coffee.

However, such a country with a single export structure is very affected by the international market, especially at a time when trade protection policies prevail, and the Spaniards simply cannot provide much of a market, so overproduction is meaningless.

The Viceroyalty of the Philippines has inherited the glorious traditions of Spain, whether it is taxes or agricultural products, but anyone who can return to Spain will be counted as losing.

Not only will they not give back to their home country, but they will even reach out and continue to ask for money from their home country. For example, at this time, the governor of Manila was planning a war against a small island of only 30,000 people (Hole Island).

On the opposite side of a small island with probably no more than 300 defenders, the governor of Manila claimed that he wanted to go to war with the Qing Dynasty, so he prepared for a whole decade.

As for the French colonies, they were not much better.

El Salva and Guatemala are constantly at war, swineherds are dead, shepherds, shepherds, cowherds, in short, it seems that any person, for any reason, can pull up a team.

The swineherd refers to Carrera, a fierce man who fights the world with a pig-killing knife, but he is also a tyrant, and the Guatemalans who oppose him or have an opinion about him have only one result, and death, and an overzealous believer is close friends with Pius IX.

In this life, due to the involvement of the French in the Central American civil war, he was finally killed in prison by former Central American President Morazán.

Still, he left behind a legacy that shattered the myth of the invincibility of white people and the ubiquitous rebel army.

The situation in El Salva is worse than in Guatemala, because the terrain is more complex, the rainforests and mountains are fraught with danger, and Morazán's army is clearly much more elite than the peasants and tribesmen.

The most terrifying point is that Morazan seems to have a steady stream of reinforcements and an inexhaustible resource.

Marshal Marshal Magnon de Rochefort, commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force, defeated the former countless times, but the opponent always recovered his forces quickly, and the equipment became better and better, and even many of the latest weapons and equipment appeared.

Although the inscriptions on the equipment have been frustrated, it is not difficult to see that the manufacturing process and style are British and Austrian.

In fact, there is no way, El Salva borders Honduras (British colony) and Nicaragua (Austrian colony), and Morazan said that if he can't get Guatemala back, then he will rob Honduras and Nicaragua.

As for why didn't the great powers unite to eliminate this clown? Because the great powers all have their own evil intentions, Britain and Austria are not to mention how happy it is to watch Morassan bleed the French.

As for the military rations and weapons, which are not worth a few dollars, and El Salvador has real money, the British may still have nostalgia for the natives, because they can be used as cheap labor.

And Franz wished that someone could get the natives to leave, and Morassan would send him to California if he didn't want it.

However, at this time, due to the opening of the Japanese labor market, these natives were too chicken, so they simply gave Molasan as protection money.

So Marshal Magnon de Rochefort was not just facing the peasant uprising, the tribal forces and the guerrillas of Morazán, but behind them stood two powers, perhaps more than two, after all, there were many who hoped that the French would be unlucky.

The French colonies in North Africa were similarly devastated by revolts in Algeria and Morocco, where the regular armies of the two countries were insignificant in the eyes of the French, but the herders, farmers, and slaves were extremely difficult.

The attitude of successive governors towards the indigenous peoples of North Africa can be summed up in the words of a French minister.

"Further oppression and massacres of indigenous populations, ravage, arson, and destruction of fields and pastures should be allowed to be the only way to establish our rule."

It was precisely because of this practice that the two feudal kingdoms broke out with unprecedented fighting spirit. However, due to the disparity in national strength, their defeat is only a matter of time.

The French version of the Homestead Law and the conscious reduction policy are also constantly eroding the courage and strength of the locals.

But it was not wise to set foot on a land that was full of hostility, and much of the land that should have been used to attract immigrants was now in the pockets of officials.

Changing places to become a farmer, you have to take risks, and even have to pay for the road yourself, which is naturally difficult to attract the French.

Texas, once affectionately known by politicians as the model colony of "New France," is also in dire straits.

As a result of Guizot's tax policy and the efficiency of his officials, the tax revenue increased nearly threefold.

Many large farmers even deliberately split their land into several parts in order to avoid accruing taxes.

The accumulation of taxes has made large farmers miserable, and it stands to reason that such a tax system is supposed to cater for the poor and small farmers.

But in reality, the latter is just as painful, because the taxes have increased significantly, and some taxes are charged at fixed amounts, or even on a per capita basis.

At the same time, due to the half-time interception of the US-Mexico War, a large amount of undeveloped land was obtained, which would have been a huge bargain.

However, reality dealt a blow to the French, and these new territories greatly increased the length of the colonial border.

Moreover, because the French were too strong, Austria, the United States, and Mexico all deployed heavy troops on the border, and at the same time sent their own men and horses to start penetrating.

In response to this situation, the former had to increase military spending, which again increased the burden on the colonies, and the contribution to domestic tax revenues was not increasing, but was regressing.

The most terrible thing is that the newly acquired land is not cared for, because the cost of development is too high, and it is not safe, after all, the four countries meet, and the French happen to be caught in the middle.

Theoretically, France could join forces with any one to attack the other, but the reality was that none of the three countries trusted France.

The United States and Mexico were even directly separated by the Texas colony, and they no longer bordered each other, so there was no way for a direct war to break out on land.

At the same time, Mexico and Austria were allies, and the Americans suffered a big loss in California, coupled with being cut off by the French, so it led to the emergence of the first anti-French alliance on the North American continent.
