| - After the defeat at Gettysburg and the overrunning of Washington, nations all across the world began recognizing the Confederacy. This of course brought a series of Declarations of war by America on the countries that recognized the South(the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, Mexico, and Prussia). The countries forced into war with the U.S. felt that now the only option was subduing America. The Confederacy formed an alliance with Mexico with the terms that the territories of California, Arizona, and Nevada would be returned. Britain considered joining with the coalition, but it refused, as its citizens would disapprove greatly and in doing so, might even cause a civil war of their own. The European allies landed on American beaches and assisted in the drive north, and soon, despite America's best efforts, forced mediation occurred when Lincoln and the rest of the government were captured and the South officially recognized by the world. The war-torn, starving, and beleaguered Union signed the Treaty of Paris officially in October, ending the war. A new nation was born.
