Why would France still accept limits lower than Italy?
Quoted
There is evidence of UK and Italy negotiating during the conference.
Quoted
The government of France requests clarification concerning the specifics of the agreement between the British Empire on the one hand and Iberia and Italy on the other.
Quoted
Wouldn't this require French input?
Quoted
France is alreay threatened by Iberia/Italy at home, now they have to deal with their presence in the Pacific instead of the more predictable British, this in addition to increased Italian influence in East Africa ajacent to Djibouti. I don't see the security in that and I certainly wouldn't expect them to continue to accept lower limits than Italy with these factor's in mind.
Quoted
It's the Italian and Iberian concentration in the Med that is of concern to France.
Quoted
However I don't know about the British reaction to this, as historically, the British have sided against whomever might gain a naval advantage on them in any area they wish to power project.

Because if France wanted higher limits, so would Italy and so it goes on and on.

Threatened? Italy wishes nothing but peace and goodwill to all men. Denmark, Iberia and the Netherlands already had a large presence in SEA, moreso than France. Nothing has changed in this regard. See point 1 again.

France has more assets to look after than Italy, how does Italy deserve more limits then France, particularily when Italian east africa is a post treaty aquisition?
Quoted
When did that happen?

Italy probably doesn't deserve higher limits than France, but Italy has got them and will keep them. There will be no change in this regard.

Atlantis hasn't threatened Greece, yet Greece feels threatened by FAR and the AANM
Quoted
This is fairly evident in the Napoleonic wars and again in WWII, which was a mini-version of the Napoleonic wars

Cause if FAR and AANM go to war, Greece is collateral damage.
The problem with Greek-Atlantian relations is that Greece believes that Turkey has Atlantis's ear - I can't imagine where that comes from but perceptions persist.

Quoted
The United Kingdom regrets causing disturbance to the SATSUMA powers. We give our guarantee that there will be no net increase in European forces in the East Asian sphere as a result of the increase in British roles.
Quoted
It´s their link with Italy (thus AANM in the second row) that causes worldwide concerns.
