1730 Recent Diplomacy: 1725 Treaty of Hanover

[mildred_of_midgard]

Context

The Treaty of Vienna is being negotiated in 1725 between Austria and Spain. The other powers are getting antsy at the prospect of a revival of the Charles V empire, and start trying to form a bloc to counter it. This in turn creates pressure on Austria and Spain to ally, the very thing the members of this alliance wanted to prevent. (Game theory is hard, let's go shopping.)

Terms

France, Great Britain, Hanover, and Prussia will send troops if war is declared against the Austria-Spain bloc.
