Just to preface that I have been enjoying the content added to Iberia in the latest update. I was on a reformist run (made the Iberian council legislative) and Italy went democratic. In the past, I remembered being able to solve the Algeria crisis diplomatically, by making a sort of joint puppet with Italy, but when the crisis fired, I only got the option to declare war. Is the most optimal option now, economically speaking, to intentionally lose the Algeria war? (Also, just to add, if anyone knows of a way to collapse the Iberian Union before Salazar's death in '86, that would be very much appreciated!)
