1849 - 1856 Do you remember that one time Hawaii tricked the United States into helping them annex half of modern day Pakistan?
A lot of the things I wanted to do were based heavily on money. Colonial power is based on ships and ports. Both are huge money sinks. Factories in a country as small as Hawaii need constant attention or they will fail. I speak from experience. In a private game I manage to colonize most of the South Pacific islands. I just requires money. Gold income to be precise. I will look elsewhere.
For those that think taking on Korea or Japan are good ideas. Korea has Chinese support and Japan in in the US's sphere.
I'll keep the tech popups to a minimum. I'll include the major techs and important inventions.
This war will go well right?
Never Mind...
This is a bit unfair. A lot of things happened between the start of this war and the end.
Like the US deciding not to march on Mexico city during the Mexican American war.
I research Idealism, Medicine, and State and Government.
I need a consolation prize.
Much better.
Now I will look to an area that I normally never look to.
Sindh, Makran, and Kalat. 3 Indian States not in the British SOI and with no allies.

I also research Breach Loaded Rifles, High & Low pressure Steam Engines, and start on Market Structure.
I'll finish the year off with this image.
