Saigul solemnly declared again, "Austria must bear full responsibility for any consequences arising in the Walloon Region."
Amid the chatter of the Hesse nobles, Saigul concluded his speech and left Marburg for Würzburg.
On the very day of his departure, newspapers in Upper Hesse published the headlines: "Vienna Tears Apart Non-Military Zone Agreement, Walloon Chamber of Commerce Requests French Intervention."
Prior to arriving in Upper Hesse, Saigul had already tirelessly traversed the majority of the German states, delivering no fewer than twenty speeches.
The day after the French Government announced its acceptance of the Walloon Region's request and its decision to dispatch troops, Austria officially declared war on France.
That same day, England declared war on France, citing "France's deliberate disruption of the sugar market."
Soon afterward, Prussia, Hanover, and the Netherlands openly declared war on France as well.
