Italian Ambition[edit]

If both Spain and France own provinces in Italy between 1490 and 1590, they are able to 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]

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