Summary

Welcome to episode 6! Here we look at Charles, that pesky monarch, who managed to lead his country out of the doldrums of the post-war defeat to the Dutch, into the most powerful alliance agreement he'd ever known. What was more, it was top secret (so be quiet Arlington!) What was more MORE, it was to prove the greatest mistake of his reign. We explain why Charles didn't see danger, only the $ signs and the promise of revenge against the hated Dutch.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to When Dipliancy Fails Podcast. My name is Zach Twomley and I am your host, Forever. This is the sixth installment of the Franco-Dutch War, so if you haven't listened to the previous five episodes, I would recommend doing so now, or you won't know what's going on. If this is your first time listening to the podcast, then you're very welcome. I hope I don't scare you away right here right now.
0:22.3	And I would encourage you to browse the back catalog, look up the website, wdfpodcast.com,
0:28.0	and browse till your heart's content.
0:30.2	So yeah, welcome to the podcast, and I hope you enjoy this episode.
0:34.9	Everyone else, well, as you know, when diplomacy fails as a member of the
0:39.2	Agora podcast network, this month we are promoting the podcast of the month, which happens to be
0:45.0	Eric and Zander's podcast called Reconsider. And it's quite appropriate at the moment that we
0:50.7	should be reconsidering everything since, well, let's just face it, 2016 was pretty much a car crash of a year in terms of politics, and everything seemed
0:58.9	sort of up in the air. Who knows? Is Northern Ireland going to disintegrate? Is the EU going to
1:03.8	last to the end of, well, 2017? Will America be great again, after all? I'm not going to be political because these guys do.
1:12.7	Check out the Reconsider podcast now.
1:14.9	See if you can be challenged or perhaps even reconsider the way you look at politics.
1:20.3	That again is reconsider.
1:22.3	Check them out, guys.
1:23.4	Other than that, thanks for stopping by.
1:25.5	Remember, be fit is the best way to support this podcast, guys.
1:28.9	You've been doing a great job of it, and I'm going to keep on plugging away because I'm getting married in May, and I don't think it's hard, and all the other stuff.
1:36.0	So thanks very much for everything you've done so far, and keep on doing what you're doing because you're doing it great. All right, so I'm not going to ramble too much other than to say I'm
1:45.2	still really excited for what I've got planned for the fifth anniversary of when diplomacy fails,
1:49.3	but you're just going to have to wait and see until the middle of May of this year to see what
1:53.3	I've got coming. Okay, so with all that out of the way, let's get down to the show. Thanks
1:59.6	again for listening.
