countries default on sovereign debt roughly 2-3 times per century on average, based on historical records for nations like spain (13 defaults 1500-1900) and france (8 from 1500-1800), though it varies by region and era—emerging markets see more.
over 100 years, the probability is very high, often near 100% for at-risk countries, as crises recur cyclically despite adaptations.
