Since Spain has sued for peace to both nations it is at war with, is it 
required by 4.4.2.1 to accept both offers or neither or can Spain choose to 
accept only one of the unconditional demands?

If they were conditional demands Spain would have no choice, but since both 
Britain and Turkey have chosen unconditional, they've given Spain another 
choice to remain at war or surrender.  Does the requirement for suing for 
peace still apply or has it been met in Spain's initial request for terms 
to both powers it is at war with?

It's not clear to me which way I'm supposed to read 4.4.2 as far as how 
much distance there is between the initial suing for peace and the actual 
surrender.

Sorry to add another round of complexity to this, but it probably is 
important to figure out exactly how to end a war.
