1730 Recent Diplomacy: 1728 Peace of Pardo

[mildred_of_midgard]

Context

This is basically Spain finally agreeing to the Preliminaries of Paris. Isabella, who most emphatically did not want to agree to these terms, decides to give them the broadest possible interpretation, on the assumption that no matter what she does, France will never go to war. French diplomats, including Rottembourg, have to spend a lot of time in the next 5 years telling her that she can't just do whatever she wants, that at some point France will reach the limit of its patience with her.

Terms

See the Preliminaries of Paris, 1727.
