Iberian Arms Race

While the Austro-Granadan Forces continued to conduct peacekeeping operations throughout the now conquered Kingdom of Portugal, a new power had risen in the Iberian Peninsula. the Kingdom of Spain, led by King Felipe de Trastámara, was currently undergoing a massive transition. With financial support from the papacy, the fledgling Kingdom had invested heavily into the reverse engineering and improvement of firearms. 

By sharing technology with the church, the two factions could complete construction of a series of new weapons that would make their armies closer to that of Austria's allies in terms of military technology. As a fanatical catholic, the King of Spain also received the leaked agricultural tech from his Papal overlord to fight back against the agricultural revolution occurring within the borders of his southern neighbor.
