Annexation

[unmerged(1891)]

If you are looking to annex a country in a war, and I would not recommend this often but Holland is messing up my neat North American coast line already, what requirements do you need to meet.

I know you need to control their main provinces. Do you also need to control any provices they may have captured during the war? What about colonies and trade posts?

Also if your allies have taken a province from your target can you still annex?

You have to take all the Dutch provinces, colonies and trade posts.

Thanks, I had better grab them soon if I am going to then.

Good Luck. It can be hard. The Dutch colonies tend to be in every corner of the globe.

Excuse my newbie-ness... but does the forced annexation then occur as the result of a peace settlement (i.e. do you have to offer terms and demand annexation)or is it an automatic result of gaining full control of all the enemy provinces (i.e. suddenly that country is annexed)?

You have to offer peace, but 'Annexation' will be available as a separate button in the peace screen.

The reason I want to deal with Holland now is to stop them spreading all over the world. (GC date 1555 ish)

The Dutch are churning out settlers faster than I can see at the moment. Where they are finding the money beats me.
