Help!!

Hi!

I'm playing an ironman game as spain and have almost a monopoly on colonizing atm. Although I have got problem with Austria being a really dominant force and when netherlands started colonizing I wanted to attack them but then ofc Austria helps them since he's the emperor. Now Netherlands has founded a colony and my question is. Will I trigger a war with austria if I attack a colony or will I only fight netherlands?

Please help!

If you leave them just enough space to form a colonial nation won't it be eaten by your huge colonial nation once it forms?

Austria maybe will join the war if they're not busy in another big war (for example with france). my suggestion is to build a strong army and put it into Pireneo mountains. No army can survive if you keep the position due to very strong defensive bonuses on those mountains. On the other hand build a good navy to blockade netherlands. they can't send their army to the colonies. if the goal is one coloni you won't have any problem dealing an easy peace offer.
