The alliances, obviously, are:
Ottoman Empire+France
Austria-Hungary+Germany
England+Italy+Sweden+Russia

Obviously, whomsoever takes North Africa will win the game.

Oh, and Italy is about to stab England.

Wouldn't it be easier for Italy to just kick that rock (Sicily) at England?

It wouldn't be able to make it over France.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Meh. We'll still smash France's genitals in little pieces with the size of that rock.

I haven't even considered talking to France yet, and I just assumed they were going to have their own little dispute with England/Germany for awhile. I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, since my experience with this game is marginal at best.

I'm going to say now that I'm going to imagine that people that are allies are actually sleeping together to make this more interesting.

Step 1: Tell everyone that you are their friend.
Step two, tell everyone that you are about to launch a surprise attack against their neighbour, and if they assist you, then you can split the victim's territory.
Third step = Systematically betray everyone and feast upon their souls.

P.S.

"Military advice" is actually sex-ed.

It's true. We use this banana to explain how to properly use a convey.

This was actually my main strategy for games like Rise of Nations and the Civilization series.

Wrong.

1: Snort a fuckton of cocaine.
2: Go super sayin.
3: Beat all those who oppose.
4: Find Catherine the Great.
5: GET IN DAT ASS
6: Find remaining enemies.
7: Kick in the door.
8: Wave the .44
9. "Papa please don't hit me no more!"
10. Bring the pain.
11. Hardcore to the brain.
12. Go inside astral plane.
13. Find Celestial figure.
14. GET IN DAT ASS
15. Victory.

Most veteran games I see end up like this.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

I'm pretty sure that atomic weapons are still in production at this point in history.

So the answer is yes, but only if you're first.

Seems like a good idea in theory, but considering everyone's probably doing this to everyone else at this point it's not so clever.
