World Tension - How does it work?

[Akasi]

I was playing with Austro-hungarian empire. Germany demanded Sudenteland and I gave it up. My idea was to grow strong and recover it later when the big war started.
So I did, the problem is using the recover cores CB gave me a ton of WT...while Conquer gave me less.
How is it possible that recovering your land is considered more aggresive? It was like 25-30 WT and conquer CB far less like 10.

Hi,

what i can tell you is that there is WT at the beginning of the war, and at the end of the war through the peace conference.

So maybe you are causing less war tension when you seize the lands you were fighting back for, as if you were conquering them.

World tension only matters before Germany attack Poland. Past that point it will mostly stay at 100% until the end of war.
The difference between CB world tension sounds interesting but really won't matter too much.

Still dont understand why the initial WT is so high, I do have a legal claim over that land. At least in EU4 you gain less aggresive expansion when you recover what it yours...

It was important to me because I wanted to get into the Allies when the Soviets attacked me...and i couldnt because the WT generated penalty. WT generated because I was recovering my land, sounds too funny
