Yes. It is true. It's happened yesterday, in my Victoria game.
My Paraguay game was very challenging, but thanks to alliance to Chile and help from Argentina and sometimes Columbia and Equador, I managed to create Empire of Three Seas in a serie of panamerican wars I fought against Peru, Brazil, and sometimes Columbia, Venesuela.
Just when I finished gruelsome war against Brazil, Columbia, Peru, Venesuela, which made me teh biggest south-american nation, stretching from La Paz to Rio and from this silly venesuelan lake to Uruguay, I was attacked by teh French, and also by Equador and Uruguay. The latter two were easily crashed.
The french attacked from French Guyana, but backed off, from north (Venesuela), and from east (newly acquired Brazillian territories)
I also managed to crush completely a big french army attacking next to Venesuela, but then they landed in New Paraguay (former Peru), and I decided to scramble to the core of my empire, Paraguay proper. The french managed to take all my empire but the Paraguay proper and some isolated jungle territories in the center of America. I only had 26, later 29 divisions:
10 were defending the core from the west.
10 were defending the core from the east
5 were mobile force
2 were later used to take back some of the lost lands in the center of the empire.
My strategy was to fight against smaller french forces: not to take back the land, but to made their armies shrink. It's proven successful, and I was launching a massive controfensive, when Italy joined in war against me. It's saved the French, and my 100000 armies shrunk to circa 68000 in result, though the French were tired as well.
Just when I had to stop, as my french lessons were about to start, I signed status quo peace treaty, and the french didn't dare to attack me again.
I think if I continued the war of attrition, I might have won, and even take french guyana, but when I was starting the war I was already in debts due to the previous one and I ended up in 70000 debt, so I had to stop.
Still, my empire counts 8 mln, while it started with 0,879 or so.
It has 140 or so gold income, while it's started with 6 or so. I have some railways and industry.
But I am only 14th nation in the world, between Netherlands and Belgium, and the game is through

when I finally got the chance, the game's over. Still, I managed to turn Krakow into blooming metropolis, with 3,2 mln citizens (originally 0,8 or so), some factories, massive income, great techs, and 15 mili
