South Korea feigns a revolution. It asks Nato for assistence.

The part you don't get is the fact you were going to attack Samurai anyway, no matter what, unless they met your demands and allowed you to dominate their policies.
You were helpful to them:
if they joined the alliance.
[i]if[/if] they didn't second guess the overthrow of their leader
if they didn't second guess attacks on other kingdoms
Any you claim you 'gave' them their independence?
Besides, in your South Korea example, you'd REALLY need to look at the type of revolutionaries your aiding.
As any true conspirators that wanted the Shogun removed were doing so through treachery, it's funny you now complain you were victims of treachery.
I could probably find one or two in Astri (or Ex-Astri elsewhere) that would LOVE some kingdom to come to their aid and ensure a little revolution goes their way.
This, by the way, has been a repeated mistake throughout history, one that has bit US foreign policy in the rear more than once.
Please, though, stop pouting about it. You thought you could exploit cracks in Samurai loyalties to your advantage, and it blew up in your face.
If you weren't prepared for the contingencies, than you shouldn't have attempted the plan in the first place.
