In the national focus tree, Realpolitik doesn't lead to Coastal Defense Plan. Bolivarian Alliance does. It just seems to be the best choice, not just for flavor. 16:45
Thanks for leaving the music in the dooblydoo.
Good point, can't believe I missed that!
Realpolitik sucks wherever and whenever IRL, as well. ;) Thx for for pointing that out! :)

I guess since the Mexican focus tree has so much flavor they had to give the Communists the ugliest flags in the game. :/
I refuse to use it in the thumbnail.
This is why I use mod to change this flag
@Joe Mexico Flag Mod
When i played as mexico with Trotsky, the flag was black with a red star.
As a Mexican I give you the reason that of all the good flags that could have been placed they had to put the ugliest
I love mexican achievments. This is a really fun country to play
Yeah me too. Of all the countries that have a rich history of "what if's" I find the Mexicans to be the most interesting. Their history is quiet messy and they could have easily gone Fascist or Communist at any point even up until the 1960's. So I can see why the developers felt they (and the players) could have a lot of fun with Mexico :)
The only nation where going democratic (historical path) feels super satisfying. You get to mend relations with the usa, nationalise oil fields and fix the mess that is Mexico. Also, most of the leaders have a background description. Best nation by far.
Only downside is that it doean't have an Empire path for some reason
A little trick BitterSteel missed, when at war with the soviets, the german will give you millitary acces, use that millitaryu acces to naval invade the soviet union from norway, the second nearest port is a victtory point and counts as an european territory, giving you the sunset invation achievement!
this video inspired me to try and get good at mexico! one thing ive been trying to do lately has been "the most catholic mexico possible", a challenge run where you need to take rome in a peace conference as mexico
Holy shit dude you have to let me know if you got that done !
Please reply !!

@@thestanley2692 I will do it in his place
Unexpectedly, in one of my runs I found that Azores Islands also count as coastal province and a very easy picking through naval invasions.
I have tried 10 times. And following your guide. There is always something that goes differently and messes the whole situation. This game is truly unforgiving, you make It looks so easy, LOL
I had trotsky being veeery slow so when he finally showed up i rushed the wargoals on central america asap...i was able to get into war with usa only about 2 months later that bittersteel and i was actually in better position than him (more stability army stuff) so i finished my war with usa around the same time as him but with better stability, more researched stuff more research slots and political stuff plugged in xd
Its mostly about good preparation of your army and being able to outsmart the AI with encirclements even if i started my war in jan 1939 i was still able to finish in late sep 39
@@SmallPotato2313 Man, I really want to learn that. I lose time with encirclements while I learnt that victory points are able to rush victory. Also, how can we get better preparation?
@@Stouzough man i dont remember much from my game anymore...i will watch the video and try to give some advice if i will remember any
@@SmallPotato2313 Thanks ;-)
The US did not declare on me after just cause, the amount of RNG in these achievements is fucking absurd.
Same here, they don't even have a war goal. You can just justify on the philipines instead, took me 80 days. But still very very weird.
Somehow Trotsky didn't even show up on my case. Even after I finished the operation just cause so I just restarted the game lol
@@user-ju8il5vt2l Yeah I had that once too. In the event files Trotsky can get blocked by some global flag which is very unclear when set. Anyways, He should arrive before the end of 1937 I think or he won't arrive at all.
Yeah, if operation Just Cause succesful US usually dont attack you, but if you fail they usually declare instantly, its not a complete random
It is weird that the game says Montezuma, because the correct name is Moctezuma.
Sounds cooler...
Omfg, I've been at that last 2 days and finally got it last night at half 2 in the morning XD and you literally just upload it. Still love all the guides. Keep it up:(

That's because he probably makes it yt members only for some time before release
Nah, I just scheduled the release, but it shows up on my channel for some people, oddly enough. Happened the last 3 videos too
I think because the video is still being converted but people already allowed to comment. You could try to set up a first watch together time or something.
Thanks to your guide and months and months AND MONTHS of trying I finally pulled it off!
Fantastic guide, as always. Just finished today (0.7% on steam have the Trotsky acheivement!!). Feels really good when you hit that peace deal with the soviets. For those who aren't as good as bitter and don't get as high of war score, the Germans tend to prioritize the northern territories, but I was able to get Sunset invasion by taking the southern Bessibara province connected to the black sea. Hitler basically ignored them for the first few turns, so it might be easier than the Baltic states if you're falling behind.
You really are the best channel for tutorials. I thank you from the bottom of my heart without you I would never have been so good at Hoi4.
Done following your suggestions with no step back dlc! Thanks a lot for the guide!!❤️
Glad I could help!
"Okey, time to prepare for this video"
*looks in the mirror and slaps face*
"antidisestablishmentarianism antidisestablishmentarianism antidisestablishmentarianism antidisestablishmentarianism antidisestablishmentarianism!!!!"
Doesn't work, by the way, US never declared. And their forces are way too strong for no particular reason.
Liked for the music as you started your Central American conquest :)
Also just a note on the "Coastal Defense Plan" focus tree to all, even if you've already conquered the countries a claim can be helpful because it decreases resistance a bit.
Why is ISP in the thumbnail?
it's Isorrowproductions not that filthy poser
The only way to get him into HoI again
Thanks for the guide.
I still have not managed it due to RNG not being on my side, like... Spanish civil war always starts late and lasts a lot, even with my divisions encircling the Republicans. Trostky always comes late, very late, like 6 months late. "El Salvador" always joins Japan's Faction, so I decided to ignore it for now. By the time "I am ready", it is mid 1939. On top of that, the US never declares war on me after the Panama Canal incident and to make it even funnier, if I declare war on them, they join the Allies instantly.
This achievement is very frustrating due to the very long time and setup it requires, let alone RNG then giving you the middle finger.
Thank you so much for this!
Great video. I learned a lot. I really want to try a mobile warfare Mexico with your strategy since Mexico has a calvary genius
I'm gonna try this strategy. You could have used the "support the Spanish loyalists" to farm lot's of Experience
The problem is you don't have enough guns to do that. The best time to use that strat is if you take the hit on pp gain and wait for Trotsky so you can also get Calles. You will get a civil war with the fat general but he isn't that hard to beat. To do it you disband all your divs so you can have enough guns to do the support the loyalists. Just makes sure you have 5 xp to build a 1 bat div you can spam at beginning of civil war. Just make sure they are ready to deploy when civil war starts and they are cav so you can hit the gaps quick.
@@timothyhouse1622 I always lose against general cedillo, I never have enough weapons to train troops at that time :(
Yay new video! :D
Been waiting for mexico!
Man Imma have a lot of Achievements to get once I get my PC back

Great content, have yourself a new sub!
Thanks for this so much! I tried for 2 days and couldn't get it down, rushing them in 36 didn't work and waiting to build up didn't work either. Then I watched this and it worked great!
@@blitzkrieg1941 i just followed his guide exactly. It is possible, just try and get as many encirclement as you can and make sure to garrison.
another great guide!
Thanks for the great guide! Still works with 1.12.8 (although US is slow to declare war & the war itself is significantly more difficult). However, Trotsky seems to always get killed around October 1941 (probably when the Soviets complete their corresponding focus & mission). This makes the "The New Home of the Revolution" basically unobtainable. Hard to capitulate USSR before this 😁
Hm, I have played it today... US did not declare war on me after the boarder clash... Through that I needed 70 days longer and (end 1939) the US joined the allies shortly before surrendering... after defeating the Allies Trotzky was killed while invading the UDSSR FML xD
Thank you for the good stuff
I got the sunrise invasion by being in a faction with the Axis. When germany declared war I kicked Paraguay and disbanded the faction and joined Axis. During the peace deal I got a large amount of land and a coastal section of romanina and the achievement still fired.
Same
I did the exact same thing
Nice job

I'm glad it worked out!
@@Bitt3rSteel i got the civil war against the cristeros and you didn't got it... How ?
Like I said, gotta balance the church power as Communist Mexico. Juggle the decision to strengthen them with the focusses that will weaken them
@@Bitt3rSteel Okay thank!! Because i'm french so i don't understand everything ^^'
was a nice video to watch; now i'd like to see you Crush the Dream
This became one of those runs that went SUPER off-script as I played it out but it still worked in the end.
You know, that's what I really like about these videos; they set you up in the beginning with focuses and decisions which saves me the hassle of having to experiment with 20 Ironman saves, and then the midgame can pretty much go however and a reasonably skilled player can make it work. It wouldn't be as fun if my game went EXACTLY the same as yours from start to finish.
If there's one thing the HoI4 AI can do,it's go off script...
@@Bitt3rSteeli was at war with the US which joined the allies,i inflicted more than 700k casualties and w Whole south america allied i got overnavalinvaded and My allies' AI Just kept 100+ divisions on guarding cities...
Nice tuto, i would add that I tried with cavalry to rush USA, and rushed California too because it's a source of manpower for USA. Dont forget to use every troops you can from the countrys you conquered before.
When I saw you attacking Albuquerque I remembered Bugs Bunny talking: "I know I should had turned left in Albuquerque."
Nostalgia right here
great vid! just managed to beat usa with it!
When you are the president of Mexico in 1936 and the stability in the country lower - Hey guys let's concentrate the economy of the country in guns ! =)))
What?
And a Lot of división that for some reason when the civil war kicks in, they dissapear if they where on an default occupied territories (the south and North)
Because it's smart to jumpstart your economy before an invasion? What would you do? Start a charity?
this was a great guide not gonna lie
Note to those who wish to push into South America/the Caribbean, you must push as far as possible before the USA finishes the focus Pax Americana which will make the USA act on it’s guarantees. You have until about 1940 to do so in a Historical game.
Finally, someone that spells Cedillo´s name correctly :,)
You did justice to my ancestors country…thank you Bitt3rSteel
(But no really, good video!)
please revisit this playtrough, im having hard time doing this achievment on nsb patch 😵💫
Agreed nsb changed everything
This took me many, many, many, many attempts to beat America, but finally, I did it. I also defeated Russia, but I lost trotsky along the way. I got two out of the three achievements. I am going to take a break from Mexico. Thank you, the guides they are helping a lot.
Nice guide. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Bitt3rSteel but even with the guide it doesn’t work for me :( probably need to lower the version.
Could someone tell me between Soldaderas and the Professional Army, which is better?
Is there a mod to change the Mexican flags for better ones? or and also if they know a mod to improve the three types of doctrines.
oof buddy I am glad you got a better mic. I spent 15 minutes checking my speakers this morning thinking they were off but its just your newer vids have better sound quality
Sorry about that
Don't you ever apologize you legend. @@Bitt3rSteel
Fantastic guide. Had a little RNG issue where the US wouldn't declare war during the Panama border conflict. On the third try they finally did. Also worth noting that you NEED the US navy, you can't get naval range from Guam into the Sea of Japan except with the large US capital ships to launch that naval invasion.
You can,with Sub spam. And you have the time needed to get those by the time you are ready for war.
But having the US navy is so much easier
Followed your video for the most part and it worked. Had to save scum a little for US to declare war on me. Also I recommend building a whole bunch of cheap cav divisions to help with encirclements and snaking your way into the victory points once America can't fill their front line. You also have a cavalry genius you can hire, and a cavalry general.
How do you save scum with Ironman?
@@markselby9352 Alt F4 or close the game with task manager. It will exit the game without saving so you will get the last auto save. Not helpful for going back far, but for doing to get an event to fire or a naval battle that went wrong its helpful. Works for all Paradox games.
Man, you're my super God, most your HOI4 videos are great, because I often manage to win as well. This one though, really tough. Either Trotsky would come much much later, either I have a revolution of some kind in-between, and then I'm slow fighting the US... The fact is: I'm so slow that I have to fight all the allies. I can't find a way to finish the war before September 1939, as you do. Is that a patch thing (now is 1.11.x)? Anyway, you're inspiring!
Great Vid bro! Looking forward to more! 😁
Btw which DLC do u use for Mexico to get a cistom focus tree?
the dlc is Man the Guns
Ah thanks!
Excellent guide once more. I recently did these achievements, and its funny how we took similar and different approaches. I learned a few new tricks here (waiting for puppets to finish their industry focus for instance), but I prefer my cavalry spam for the US conquest.
Question: in almost all my Mexico games, the Allies declare war on the Communist States of America, pretty much out of nowhwere. Didn't see that here at all. Any idea what causes this? I took the USA in an offensive war, not through the Panama decision....
I'm honestly unsure. It could be because the new US government is refusing to yield to the British in the naval treaties maybe?
Iceland counts as EU costal province btw so even quicker way to do sunrise invasion is just to naval invade Iceland from mainland mexico
I wasn't sure about that,since the description specifically mentions a province on the continent. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks
Just a thought, would it have helped to add three or four units as horses to allow them advance around the enemy or to capture more land... thx.. I have enjoyed your videos.
In my run I definitely had some “poor mans” motorized divisions(cavalry) helped out ALOT
Ohh boy here we go
Good video also early
thank you. I got to New Orleans and then USA switched to partial and started spamming troops haha
ill try again another time good guide tho
Love ur videos , wish you explained better about the civil war wasted a lot of time having to restart
Any chance you can do a Bevrijding guide? Every time I try I’ll get up to relocating to the indies but then Japan strikes the southern resource area and I’ll be screwed
Super
I am amazed you were able to declare war before 1940. Every time I follow this guide the US never declares war on me, so I end up having to declare on all the allies
Another tip for dealing with the Cristero Revolt: The revolt won't trigger unless you complete the red/gold shirts focus so if you do not do them you won't even have to worry about the church power.
But I think you need red shirts to get Trotsky in this one.
Yeah you need Red Shirts cause it leads to the Communist Revolution focus on the right side of the tree, that puts Trotsky in charge of the country. The other one, under Eljido Workers, doesn't.
as a mexican im staified
YGS entry right here
Hey there - first of all great guides - loving your humor.
But for this one - I never get US to declare on me; tried various approaches e.g., winning/losing "just cause", deselcting DLC (la res.), etc. but somehow in 6 runs to that point of "US declaring on me" they just dont do it - is there something I am missing? Thanks and keep up the great vids :)
PS - Also declaring on US - via Phil. - does not work, as they join at some point allies n then its getting ugly ...
Also you don't need to take a Soviet state at the peace conference, you just need to occupy it during the war. So I think it is better to get military access in Germany when you are at war with USSR and make naval landings around Leningrad to get Sunset Invasion achievement.
Allright guys, I thought I got good enough to try some of the more difficult achievements without guides, so I've been doing Commie Mexico runs, but it is difficult as hell, so after quite a few runs I went ahead and just checked Bitt3rSteel's vid on it. I followed the guide when I had the idea that the it might be more difficult on the current version of the game so I made it to the version right when Man the Guns came out and taking the USA went as smoothly as it did in the video, so if you're struggling to fight the USA as Mexico, I highly recommend putting the game version back. Not only does the USA not get nearly as many troops, but the old supply system also makes going for encirclements and stuff much easier.
@Cementāriī 🇭🇺 Ironclad. Warning; the ui and menu are from before they reworked them so it can be quite jarring if you started playing after said rework. I know it was for me; I got the game after Battle for Bosporus came out.
This is a great video, unfortunately I just realized I don’t have, La Resistance DLC lmao.
I got a civil war with the mexican junta, followed all your steps basically :P
Very cool! Any tips for doing the same as Canada? They're lacking severely in manpower and industry. PS: Trolol, I accidentally took Antidisestablishmentarism too early and now Trotsky never Arrives. D'oh.
Italy secretly controlling all of Ireland without me noticing until the end really does it for me LMAO.
The US just didn’t declare war on me for some reason so I had to justify but that called in the uk so I died
Yes ! At last my favorite but failed run has a guide by you !
For a real challenge (since you always manage to do the challenges), try liberating morocco/algeria or tunisia, and create all the countries you can with the liberated country, it goes from taking Spain and Portugal as first objective, to annexing all your way to Pakistan. Algeria has some steel and has more factories, so it's the strongest start.
And thanks for all your guides :)
@bittersteel I think one fo the patches they've done has changed this, the US didn't declare war on me after i did operation just cause, so now it looks like i'll have to do an offensive war which i'm much less likely to win, might be worth a new guide?
i swar i didn*t saw that music coming :D
Moreee, Moreeee... GIVE ME MORREEEEEEEE!!!!!
These achievements would be quite different with "No Step Back" can you do these under the new DLC?
Maybe that's stupid... but a would a few "speedy" cav-brigades for encircling and victorypoint-rushing be useful?
Great video as always, but I'd also like to just say how refreshing it is to see a HOI4 youtuber who can actually pronounce names correctly lol
Question why in my game In focus tree I didn't have the options that lead to arresting that general cedllo guy?
Hey, does anyone mind to explain me why I should train my troops? I mean, what does XP do besides template? And what on earth is combat width?
Hey bitt3rsteel I’m a big fan and just began to watch you recently I was wondering if you can do a run as the ottomans
I very much like your avatar! I'll add it to the list of challenges!
Bitt3rSteel thanks a lot man keep making the great content
I gave this a try though I'm short inf equipment by a ton still going for the war and I have no idea how to make up that difference. Not that it mattered in the end since the US joined the allies really quickly and British units started landing on me to so I had to quit.
I got a very large amount of guns from the central American minors.
I guess WT spikes van lead to the US joining the allies early, bit it never happened in my test runs
Just for a different method, anyone ever consider letting cedillo fire off? I've done so before and earned close to 400 xp from it for only 50k manpower. Worth it?
Well, I've tried and tried and tried but again and again I can't finish the USA before they join Allies (when Germany invade Benelux). Lack of artillery and infantry equipment
On my 6'th or so try I got USA to declare war (had actually given up and was going for south america in that game)
- I won the border conflict
- had about 15 inf on US border
- 21 units in total
- deployed the 7 port guards
- trained ~20 cav 12 width that moves by US avoiding fights but going for supply hubs as far off as Chicago and Miami. Parked cav on some hubs and the AI didn't even manage to send troops to fight them back.
- war ended august 1939 without allied intervention.
Happy days!
I don'r know what to do, when I attack with my properly geared, well rested and organized infantry, it has like 15 attack each elite division (10 infantry, 4 arty, 1 AT and 1 AA) while the enemy has in excess of 200 power with his 1 row underpowered and obsolete division, I win because of 20 divisions against 2 and it goes not so fast and not very smoothly.
Any insight?
you are attacking in the mountains
Whenever I poke at this attempt Trotsky takes his sweet time (18 months past the time your run shows) and next thing I know it's late 39 early 40 and there's no way I'll be able to go after the US.
Thank you for making this video
In the past 3 days, I tried, but only using "Seize the Panamá Canal" to make the United States declare war is rare. In about 7 games, the United States only declared war twice.
I switched to the "Nationalize the Oil Fields" route. The United States will not declare war on me, but when it comes to "Seize the Panamá Canal", the United States has declared war on me twice out of the two
Maybe it’s because I didn’t buy the "Battle for the Bosporus" DLC? I have the rest of the DLC
Thank you again anyway
I don’t speak English so this was translated by Google, sorry
So what you are saying is that is I go for nationalize the oil fields first and then go for seize the canal the states would always declare war on me
Aw. Should’ve gone for Party of the Revolution! You can still put Trotsky in power AND you get a sick flag (black with red star in the middle). Still, great video! Was anxiously waiting how you’d handle my favorite country to play as :D
Interesting, I always assumed Trotsky came only from the right branch of the tree
Its however mutually exclusive with the right branch. It will lock you out of going for all those juicy National Spirits.
Bitt3rSteel nope! If you wait for Trotsky to come to Mexico, you can put him in power with the left focus tree. You can also still get all of the buffs from the right side of the tree (minus anything from “Communist Revolution” of course).
You do realize that black flag with red star in the middle is from the Steam Workshop mod right, Communist Mexico always gets that shitty Red flag with yellow Central America on globe in it.
You downloaded a mod to replace and probably forgot that it existed XD
@@Gun_Metal_Grey no. in the left side, the communist tree gives a black flag with a red star. While on the right side, the communist path gives a picture of mexico in a red background as flags.
Would buildinag a collaboration government in the US help with the war? Or is it not worth the civ factories?
Idk if it’s just me but I feel like a couple cav units would definitely help against the USA
Oh, for sure. I just tried to keep it simple since the US can be a challenge for newer players
