Missions[edit | edit source]

Main article: Spanish missions

Spain's missions focus on completing the Reconquista, projecting power into Italy and the Holy Roman Empire, and expanding into the New World and the East Indies.

Events[edit | edit source]

Main article: Spanish events

Italian Ambition[edit | edit source]

If both Spain and France own provinces in Italy between 1490 and 1590, they can claim each other's lands, reflecting the Italian Wars that consumed the attention of these two rivals in this period. This event type will lead to worsened relations between the nations and a greater likelihood of war.

Minor events[edit | edit source]

The Spanish State Bankruptcy events have returned, but only as flavour events if Spain actually goes bankrupt.
