    In this video titled EU4 A to Z - THE MOST CURSED GAME In EU4 History as France I do a playthrough as France Europa Universalis 4 1.33 France. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of France , and I attempt to conquer all of Great Britain and Ireland, vassalize England and give the region of France to them. So let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series. If you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and subscribing for more content in the future.
