The point is not the oil, but the creation of kerosene which is very much in demand.

You got a decade to profit, I guess, before gas takes over. Electric lighting is already replaced a majority of kerosene fueled lighting.

Bahamas annexed successfully.

Spain, you should sell me your Caribbean colonies. I'll pay a fair price for them, and allow them some autonomy while they are decolonized.

In time yes.

Spain will be looking for money soon, war is expensive as well as modernizing effectively.

The Iberian State, erm I mean the Kingdom of Spain, must move forward.

And you need some money to maintain that new protectorate in North Africa you'll have soon, I presume. We'll talk pricing once the time rolls around.
