Rights that they thought they had but not really
Spain, Netherlands, Austria - In 1667-68, in the Battle of Devolution, France, led by Louis XIV fought against Spain in the Spanish Netherlands. In 1672-78, during the Dutch War, the French tried to conquer the United Provinces of Netherlands. This was followed by War of the Great Alliance, in which most of the European states were involved. Finally, in 1701-1714, during the War of Spanish Succession, France fought against Austria to gain the larger part of Spain.
The reason the United States was pulled into World War 1 was because of the Zimmerman Telegram.
This Telegram was intercepted coming from Mexico to Germany and said that Mexico planned an attack and wanted a truce with Germany
