add ryukyu kingdom as a tributary for japan

Good idea, I will add it with the next update.

Hungarian uprising needs to actually happen. I've never seen an Austria in V3 get convulsed in 1848 or thereabouts, needs to happen. ANYTHING to help push Japan to modernize is welcome. Colonization of Africa needs to have a large malus on nations without machine-guns, along with quinine. Belgium, Italy, and Germany need "me too!" journal entries to drive colonial competition. I need more Sepoy Mutiny in my games.

Then there are things like the Ostend Manifesto, Ems Dispatch, Zimmerman Telegram - clever little things that players should be able to execute. They should not be risk-free guarantees, but also not one-and-done sorts of arrangements. For example, had the Ems Dispatch failed to launch the Franco-Prussian War, I'm sure Bismarck would have done other plays to draw the foul and get France to fight a one-front war over naming rights for a particular province. Perhaps a decision to take on such moves and open up a journal entry with the ability to opt out with a prestige penalty should a player or AI lose their appetite for the end result.

Thanks for this -- we really need a strong historical mod. A few European-based content suggestions for you:

* Plombieres Agreement (where Sardinia-Piedmont got France to help it take Lombardy from Austria in the Second Italian War for Independence)
* Schleswig-Holstein Question and Wars (critical to the history of German unification -- resulting 1866 Austro-Prussian war is also concurrent with the Third Italian War for Independence)
* As suggested above, 1848 Hungarian uprising (where Austria turned to Russia for aid, which increased Russia's power in Romania and Balkan regions -- really, 1848 revolutions across the board need love)
* French political upheavals, especially related to Franco-Prussian war
* Ottoman decline in Europe and rise of Balkan nationalism (e.g., Austrian annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, First Balkan War, Second Balkan War)

Also to zzzptm's point on the Ems Telegram, the Spanish succession crisis would be nice to add.

I think you guys should incorporate Ultra Historical Research and Education by Vorondil, seems to chime very well with what you're aiming for with this mod

Thanks for the suggest william, I will look into that mode and see if I can contact the author if we feel that it fits.

@stubb great suggestions, will have to do some research on my own to see how those could be implemented.

Babi/Baha'i Faith events should largely be flag chain events that you can do very little about as Persia that follow through all the way historically until Baha'u'llah is exiled from Persia in 1853. After that, more flagged events fire off in Baghdad in 1863, Istanbul, and Adrianople (Ottoman Empire events at this point) until 1868 when Baha'u'llah is imprisoned in Acre/Akka. Another event fires off in 1892 when Baha'u'llah dies (maybe be non-descript about house arrest if Ottoman Empire is no longer in control of Palestine).

This is where it gets tricky because Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'u'llah's son, is released from prison after the Young Turks revolution in 1908. Abdu'l-Baha was involved in political opposition to Abdulhamid and encouraged the Young Turks in correspondence. This allowed the Baha'i Faith to gain favor with an anti-clerical/anti-monarchist movement. For that sake, Abdu'l-Baha should be released from prison when the revolution happens or if a non-Muslim or Republican Muslim country gains control of Palestine. Two years after that date, flags should go off in the respective countries that Abdu'l-Baha visited, with flags firing off in the specific provinces. After that I don't think any major event flags are necessary. Shoghi Effendi does not launch the seven-year plan until 1937, one year after the game date ends. By 1936, there are 100,000 Baha'is globally.

Some key dates to consider for Persia:
- June 1845: The Bab is arrested in Bushehr after publicly proclaiming to be the Qa'im and is brought to the governor in Shiraz. His oratorical skills and Sayyid background sway some prominent religious scholars from noble backgrounds, which is what starts his rise in popularity. The Bab is placed under house arrest. His followers carry out his mission in his absence.
-November 1845: Prominent Babi believers have their beards burned, noses pierces, and threaded with halters in Shiraz. This incident of persecution is reported in Western news.
-September 1846: The Bab is released from house arrest and travels to Isfahan, where he debates imams. Again, his oratorical skill sways some of the faithful but ultimately result in the issue of a fatwa against him. He is hidden by the governor, presumably in a political power play (there was possible talk of having the Bab replace the grand vizier)
-February 1847: With the death of the governor, the Bab is no longer hidden by religious authority, who have him arrested and sent to the court in Tehran. However, the grand vizier feared the Bab's potential influence over the shah, so he had him sent to Maku.
-June 1848: The Bab's influence continued to grow, with the governor of Maku converting to Babism. The Bab announces the break with the Islamic past and the Babi future. He is branded an apostate and put on trial. The Crown Prince's Western physician's opinion saves the Bab from execution but not corporal punishment.
-July 1848: The Conference of Badasht reveals the future teachings of Babism, including making way for a Promised One. The tenets have a focus on egalitarianism, especially as it relates to women's rights. A prominent Babi woman removes her veil at the assemblage, causing one man to be so horrified as to cut his own throat and flee.
-September 1848: The persecution of Babis becomes forefront among the faithful in the rural area of Mazandaran. Two prominent Babi leaders are captured and put under house arrest.
-October 1848: Mulla Husayn, a prominent Babi, takes up arms with other Babis to release one of the captured leaders in Barfurush. This action becomes the flashpoint for all Babis across the provinces to flock to Barfurush and begin constructing Fort Tabarsi to begin a rebellion against the shah.
-December 1848: The new shah orders up thousands of men to besiege the fort. The Babis, numbering about 500, are vastly outnumbered. Inclement weather cause the officers to seek shelter in a nearby village. Their lack of involvement in the siege allow the Babis to sneak out from the fort and attacked the army in surprise, prompting a retreat to the village, where all officers were killed by Babis. Outraged, the shah orders up princes of the royal family to take 5,000 men and exterminate the Babis. They are defeated again at the Battle of Vaskas.
-February 1849: The shah takes to the battlefield personally to besiege Fort Tabarsi with a total of 10,000 troops.
-May 1849: After starvation settled in, the Babis surrender under the condition that they would be given safe passage to leave. Most of the Babis are instead massacred, including prominent leaders.
-July 1850: The Bab is executed in Tabriz. Eyewitnesses claim he had to be executed twice, as the first volley missed him entirely.
-August 1852: Two Babi followers attempt to assassinate the shah. The failed assassination attempt ignites renewals to persecute Babis, leading to the deaths of 10,000 Babis, the execution of prominent Babi leaders, and the imprisonment of many more.

Some key dates to consider for the Ottoman Empire:
-January 1853: Banished from Persia, Husayn-'Ali, one of the few remaining Babi leaders, settles in Baghdad. Many of the remaining Babis follow him. He sets an example to the followers for the years to come and to grow the Babi faith in Baghdad.
-April 1863: Worried about the Babi proximity to Persia, the shah demands that the Ottoman sultan to remove Husayn-'Ali from Baghdad. The sultan instead invites him to Constantinople. Before he leaves, Husayn-'Ali proclaims himself to the Babi followers to be the one promised by the Bab and adopts the title Baha'u'llah.
-August 1863: Baha'u'llah is welcomed in the court at Constantinople under the conditions that he would trade political favors to the sultan's advisors. Instead, Baha'u'llah refused the custom, which allowed the Persian ambassador to make a case against him and have him exiled further into the empire. The sultan approved and Baha'u'llah is banished to Adrianople.
-December 1863: Baha'u'llah's imprisonment in Adrianople allows him to write missives, dispatches, and writings that further spread his claim. Most Babis accept him as the Promised One. Those who follow Baha'u'llah become known as the people of Baha', or Baha'is.
-1866: Baha'u'llah begins writing letters to the world's leaders, proclaiming his station and asking them to renounce their material poessions, work together to settle disputes, and work toward the betterment of the world and its peoples.
-August 1868: Mirza Yahya, Baha'u'llah's half-brother, becomes so consumed with jealousy with Baha'u'llah's station that he seeks to discredit his brother to such a degree that he reports him to Ottoman authorities as an agitator. The action prompts Turkish authorities to incarcerate Baha'u'llah in Acre/Akka.
-August 1876: The death of the sultan prompts the jailor and mayor of the town to allow Bah'u'llah to live under house arrest at a farm outside town. He goes on to pen many volumes of works, including the development of Baha'i administration, the birth of a democratic system of elections for believers in countries to govern themselves.
-May 1892: Baha'u'llah passes. In his will and testament, Baha'u'llah leaves the ministry of the Baha'i Faith to his eldest son 'Abbas. Taking on the title "servant of Baha'" or Abdu'l-Baha, he becomes the sole authority on the interpretation of Baha'u'llah's writings.
-1898: Westerners, enamored by the message of Baha'ullah, begin visiting Abdu'l-Baha in Acre/Akka. Abdu'l-Baha encourages them to spread the word of the Baha'i Faith back West.
-1901: Abdu'l-Baha's ministry largely focuses on custodial duties and executing Baha'u'llah's instructions to carry on the Faith. During this time, he becomes involved in correspondence with the Young Turks, encouraging their support for liberty and equality.
-1908: The Young Turks revolution frees all political prisoners of the Ottoman Empire, including Abdu'l-Baha. He moves to Haifa shortly thereafter, as land has been secured to build a shrine to the Bab.

Some key dates to consider for Northern America and parts of Western Europe:
-August 1910: Abdu'l-Baha begins his journeys to the West to spread the Baha'i Faith. He first stops in Cairo, where he meets with Egyptian Bahai's.
-August 1911: Abdu'l-Baha visits Lake Geneva, where he is welcomed by French Baha'is.
-September 1911: Abdu'l-Baha visits London, where he is welcomed by English Baha'is. He was invited to speak to the congregation of Saint John the Divine in Westminster by the Archdeacon Albert Wilberforce. He later traveled to Bristol and Oxford.
-October 1911: Abdu'l-Baha travels to Paris, giving a series of talks, including some at the Theosophical Society headquarters. These talks would be published in periodicals in the West, spreading the word of the Faith.
-Early April 1912: Abdu'l-Baha began his visits of American and Canadian cities, beginning in New York. His arrival was covered by the New York Tribune and Washington Post.
-Mid April 1912: Abdu'l-Baha travels to Washington D.C., speaking at Howard University and then later at a Turkish diplomatic reception, meeting a few American politicians.
-Late April 1912: Abdu'l-Baha travels to Chicago to witness the American Baha'i national convention, a process of the Baha'i administrative order. He lays a dedication stone for the site of a future house of worship on the North Shore.
-Early May 1912: Abdu'l-Baha travels to Cleveland and Pittsburgh, giving talks to locals.
May through June 1912: Abdu'l-Baha stops at a series of towns in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Maine, providing talks and meeting with local Bahai's.
-August 1912: Abdu'l-Baha visits Montreal, where he spoke at the Saint James United Church under the invitation of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Montreal.
-October 1912: After a lengthy train journey west through Buffalo, Chicago, Kenosha, Minneapolis, Omaha, Denver, and Salt Lake City, Abdu'l-Baha arrives in San Francisco, giving a talk at Stanford University. He later visits Los Angeles and gives a talk at the hotel he stays at.
-December 1912: Abdu'l-Baha returns to Great Britain on his return trip from the Americas, stopping in London where he spoke to the Women's Freedom League.
February through June 1913: Abdu'l-Baha visits France, Austria-Hungary, and Germany before returning to Egypt.

Some key dates to consider for the Palestinian region:
December 1913: Abdu'l-Baha returns to Haifa. He would remain here throughout World War I.
April 1920: Abdu'l-Baha is recognized for his efforts in averting famine in Northern Palestine due to his donations of wheat from Baha'i sharecroppers living near the Jordan River, receiving the honor of Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. These efforts during World War I allow for warm relations between the British Mandate and the Baha'is of Haifa.
November 1921: Abdu'l-Baha passes. In his will and testament, he appoints his grandson Shoghi Afnan, respectively referred to as Shoghi Effendi, as the sole interpretive authority, or Guardian, of the Baha'i Faith. He is 24 at the time.
1922 onward: Shoghi Effendi, unlike his grandfather or great-grandfather, distanced himself from being viewed as holy and distanced himself from local clergy and notability. Oxford-educated and dressing in a Western style of clothing, he largely focused his attention on creating a Baha'i administrative order through further revelations on democratic structure, laying the foundation for an internationally-elected body to carry on future interpretive duties, plans to spread the religion to every country in the world, and to translate Baha'u'llah's and Abdu'l-Baha's work into English.

Formable:

Galiza-Portugal (confederacy)/Portugaliza/Great Portugal/Great Galiza

-All the names are for the same so the most fitting can be chosen
-Was an unification concept from 18th century the earliest propositions (styled alike Italy and German Confederation) to unify both Galiza and Portugal.
-Have some historical antecessor in Ferdinand I of Portugal, John II and Manuel I (of Portugal), the three of them claiming the title of the Galician Kingdom and actually holding the land in different periods with the support of the locals.
