Chapter Three: Italian Ambition
1412 and we fabricate claims in Sicily. Shortly afterwards we DoW'd them for 1 stab hit. They were allied to Ferrara, but Ferrara didn't join the war (they were probably afraid of being annexed).
Peace with Sicily - 1413
Sicily's reduced to an OPM.
War with Urbino - 1416
Urbino gave us many call to arms when we guaranteed them. Now WE will come after them. It took three spies to fabricate the claims.
June 1417, Ferrara annexed. July, Urbino is annexed.
And at this point we broke our BB limit. But the Pope won't care, and no new DoW's appear. Not even warnings. They're afraid of us!
Tuscany is also attacked, bringing some bigger nations to the war:
Genoa, though, is occupied by Milan, who is also fighting with Savoy. So our only real enemies are Tuscany and Venice.
Tuscany annexed - 1419
Peace with Venice - 1421
And thanks to few lucky events that gave us money, we create a CoT in
Roma. This should bring us more money. And looks like we need some more mercantilism, our BB is really hurting trading abroad.
