Recognize Independances Option

[OneArmedMexican]

In 1919 the Southern White gets a new diplomatic option: Recognize Independances. I always wondered what do I get out of it? A 40 points NM hit is a huge price to pay for nothing.

I took a quick glance at the event script: as far as I can tell, this option achieves nothing. Parts of the scripting even seems incomplete.

So once again: what effects is this event supposed to have?

It activates more options later. These options, at the cost of some NM let Baltic states, Finland and Caucasian states declare war on Reds. So you can get them as allies

Right. You recognize independance of some former part of the Russian Empire, hence the cost, to get the possibility to ally them against RED....Finnish, Poland

Thanks! So it is worth something. Especially if you cannot come up with the money to buy Finnland and Baltic States into the war.
