As the title says: How possible could it be for a war between the Spanish Empire and Japan to break out around the mid-1740s?
Considering how isolationist the Japanese were at the time, you'd only need some ships to stray too close to Japan and be attacked, have someone important aboard get killed and thus you get a casus belli.
In the case of such a war occurring, who may win? The Spanish, if you ask me, might harass the Japanese on the seas, but I don't see a land invasion working...
Any thoughts?
