WW1
Arthur beaten up and tired slams his door
Arthur: Owww. I can't take it anymore. I hate Ludwig. If only I could defeat him. What I need is Alfred to come to my side instead of remain neutral. What foolish child is he.
Arthur sees Matthew
Arthur to Matthew: Oh Alfred. Did you finally decide to fight with me against Ludwig?
Matthew: I'm not America. I'm Canada.
Arthur: Who?
Matthew sighed: I'm your son. You got me from France, who frankly remembers me more than you. Plus I'm already fighting for you.
Arthur: Oh. That's right.
Arthur to himself: What can I do to get Alfred to my side? (pondering).... I got it! But who can I say is going to invade Alfred?
Arthur sees Maria with Alfred
Maria: I'm sorry Alfred, but my boss doesn't want you to do business with us.*
*Early 20th Century Mexico started restricting foreign invest in Mexico...still going on to this day
Alfred: Why?
Maria: I'm sorry.
Maria runs off
Arthur gets evil smile on his face...he got his victim country
Few days later
Arthur to Alfred: I got some bad news.
Alfred joking: You going to shave your eyebrows to look normal!
Alfred smiles
Arthur shocked: Wot?.... No no no.
Arthur hands Alfred the telegram
Alfred: What's this?
Arthur: Read it.
Alfred reads the telegram.
Alfred: Is this real?
Arthur: Sad to say yes.
Arthur thinking to himself: He bought it. Yes!
Alfred: I can deal with this. Thanks Arthur for bringing this to my attention.
Arthur shocked: Wait wot?
Alfred: I'm not going to fight with Ludwig.
Arthur: Huh?
Alfred: It's your problem.
Arthur upset: One of these days, you'll be dealing with this war.
Alfred: Yeah right.
Few months later
Arthur to Alfred: Told you so.
Alfred: Shut up!
