TL; DR:
Spanish President (CP) Dios ArGeNS and the Government of eSpain have announced a Peace Treaty between Spain and Hydra (North Macedonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Belarus) which will restore peace between Spain and Hydra countries, maintain the status of eSpain as a neutral country and prevent Spain from interfering with Cuba, both militarily and politically. With this peace treaty Spain now also formally loses its influence on Cuba, where Hydra and Asteria have established its dominance.

Here is an English translation of the Peace Treaty Between Hydra and Spain, which was signed today, on Day 5867:

Day 5867 - Peace Agreement

Dear citizens, after a month and a half of war between Spain and Hydra (MKD-Lithuania-Latvia-Belarus), an agreement in principle has been reached to stop this war that has its cause in governments prior to November.
We have the opportunity to start from scratch, and in a few days we will resume TW with neutral/like-minded countries that have shown friendship in our darkest moments and our geopolitical movements will not take long to make themselves known when they are confirmed.

From the government we want to thank: SERBIA and the USA for their help in ending this war through diplomatic channels, JAPAN, UAE, PAKISTAN and POLAND for their contribution in the war (eSpain does not forget), and Moldova for its understanding. respect for our sovereignty asking for permission to maintain TW in our CORES.

In the same way, and understanding Spanish neutrality as a reality, we believe that it is important to thank those countries that, even though they are far from our current geopolitics, for example Hungary or Chile, have contributed their grain of sand to defeat our, now, former Enemy.

At a more MACRO level, we are no strangers to the neutrality of the two great alliances of the game and we are also grateful that they have been part of the conflict, since today we would be talking about a global escalation and in this way it has been possible to maintain it regional.

Surely, by focusing all international attention on this conflict, we have received help from more countries to which I extend the gratitude of our great nation.

Peace has been achieved through the following agreement between HYDRA and Spain:

1. Spain will not attack Hydra, Hydra will not attack Spain in retaliation.
2. Spain will not attack Cuba.
3. Spain will not participate in the internal Cuban conflict. The country cannot answer for some of its citizens either, but it can mediate if a conflict arises and try to resolve it in the best way for both parties.
4. Hydra and eSpain will respect the will of individual citizens who participate in conflicts on one side or the other, as long as governments remain neutral and express it publicly.
They will be free to fight, but governments will advise their citizens to maintain neutrality abroad. Both eSpain and Hydra have to understand that initially some players can be seen fighting against them, which should not lead to an escalation of the conflict as happened in this war.
5. The Spanish government will write an article saying that Spain will not interfere in the internal affairs of Cuba
6. Spain and Hydra will not interfere in the other side's TW.

Complying with our part of the agreement, eSpain withdraws from any political-military inference in eCuba. Our door will always be open to them and, as I said at the beginning of my term, any member of the SPANISH community in the game will have the same rights as an eSpanish citizen.

Taking into account the above, eCuba has to understand that eSpain cannot be harmed by internal problems of eCuba, you can count on us to mediate if necessary, but from a Neutral position.

Finally, to the eSpanish citizen, TO ITS MILICIAS and Militias:

You are the basis of this community, there is no political office without a citizen who votes for you; You have been the strength and driving force of this government and you have given us the ability to reach this end of hostilities thanks to your stubbornness, heart and courage. eSpain, in its history, has been fortunate to always have brave players who have known how to behave as the good name of their ePatria has required.

I hope that this peace treaty will serve your prosperity, this government has done it for this purpose. Now a new path awaits us, and the eMundo contemplates how a proud nation knew how to face adversity together.

WITH eSpain!
FOR eSPAIN!
ALWAYS eSPAIN!

Free and Sovereign, or DEAD!

Long live the Spanish community and eEspañola! ePatria or Death!

Dios ArGeNS, CP of eSpain

Spanish-American War: April 21 – August 13 |
Peace Treaty Signed : Dec 10, 1898]

The brief and one-sided Spanish-American War comes to an end when Spain formally agrees to a peace protocol on U.S. terms: the cession of Cuba, Puerto Rico and Manila in the Philippines to the United States pending a final peace treaty.

The Spanish-American War had its origins in the rebellion against Spanish rule that began in Cuba in 1895. The repressive measures that Spain took to suppress the guerrilla war, such as herding Cuba’s rural population into disease-ridden garrison towns, were graphically portrayed in U.S. newspapers and enflamed public opinion. In January 1898, violence in Havana led U.S. authorities to order the battleship USS Maine to the city’s port to protect American citizens. On February 15, a massive explosion of unknown origin sank the Maine in the Havana harbor, killing 260 of the 400 American crewmembers aboard. An official U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry ruled in March, without much evidence, that the ship was blown up by a mine but did not directly place the blame on Spain. Much of Congress and a majority of the American public expressed little doubt that Spain was responsible, and called for a declaration of war.

In April, the U.S. Congress prepared for war, adopting joint congressional resolutions demanding a Spanish withdrawal from Cuba and authorizing President William McKinley to use force. On April 23, President McKinley asked for 125,000 volunteers to fight against Spain. The next day, Spain issued a declaration of war. The United States declared war on April 25. On May 1, the U.S. Asiatic Squadron under Commodore George Dewey destroyed the Spanish Pacific fleet at Manila Bay in the first battle of the Spanish-American War. Dewey’s decisive victory cleared the way for the U.S. occupation of Manila in August and the eventual transfer of the Philippines from Spanish to American control.

On the other side of the world, a Spanish fleet docked in Cuba’s Santiago harbor in May after racing across the Atlantic from Spain. A superior U.S. naval force arrived soon after and blockaded the harbor entrance. In June, the U.S. Army Fifth Corps landed in Cuba with the aim of marching to Santiago and launching a coordinated land and sea assault on the Spanish stronghold. Included among the U.S. ground troops were the Theodore Roosevelt-led “Rough Riders,” a collection of Western cowboys and Eastern blue bloods officially known as the First U.S. Voluntary Cavalry. On July 1, the Americans won the Battle of San Juan Hill, and the next day they began a siege of Santiago. On July 3, the Spanish fleet was destroyed off Santiago by U.S. warships under Admiral William Sampson, and on July 17 the Spanish surrendered the city—and thus Cuba—to the Americans.

In Puerto Rico, Spanish forces likewise crumbled in the face of superior U.S. forces, and on August 12 an armistice was signed between Spain and the United States. On December 10, the Treaty of Paris officially ended the Spanish-American War. The once-proud Spanish empire was virtually dissolved, and the United States gained its first overseas empire. Puerto Rico and Guam were ceded to the United States, the Philippines were bought for $20 million, and Cuba became a U.S. protectorate. Philippine insurgents who fought against Spanish rule during the war immediately turned their guns against the new occupiers, and 10 times more U.S. troops died suppressing the Philippines than in defeating Spain
