I'm looking for a way for Denmark and/or the Dutch Republic joining the 7 Years War.

Any ideas?

What side would they take?

I've had a few ideas but am not really happy with any of them.

Both may take the France/Austria/Russia/Sweden side if simply picking the likely winner was the option.

The Republic may be worried about France's potential ascendancy in the Netherlands area if Hanover is taken (even though Austria was France's ally in this war and the Austrian Netherlands served as the Republic's shield from France).

The Republic also may jump in if their neutrality were challenged by GB just as it did in the 4th Anglo-Dutch War/American Revolutionary War.

Peter survives Catherine's assassination long enough for his army to reach Denmark to "regain the Duchy of Holstein", at which point Denmark allies with GB and Prussia.

Sweden takes advantage the situation and invades Norway.

Any ideas?

Off the wall is fine.
