This is extortion! Wilhelmina looked at the scoundrel before her with a complex expression. Indeed, the British Empire and France were preoccupied, leaving room for the clownish antics of East Africa?
As Wilhelmina was deeply troubled, the Dutch Prime Minister Kaiboer couldn't watch any longer.
Kaiboer was actually a pro-Allies person, causing the Netherlands during World War I to lean towards Germany despite its neutral position.
As a result, although the Netherlands remained neutral, it was also affected by the war.
On one hand, almost all of the world's resources flooded into Europe due to the war, causing the prices of tea, sugar, and rubber to drop drastically.
These products were almost the main output of Dutch colonies, which included the East Indies and the Caribbean's Andres Islands. Being tropical regions, they could only produce a limited range of tropical agricultural products.
