Re: 1764-1772 Foreign policy: France: Concerning Sweden

Eventually Gustav pulls off the coup, but without the kind of support from France he was hoping for (because Vergennes still only barely knows he's supposed to support it and he's not sure how much), and thus France is unable to take advantage of getting what they wanted in Sweden.

Lol, poor Vergennes!
