The Republicans wins the civil war, not sure about the POD.
After the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, communist movements aligned with Moscow are banned and many underground communist cells are formed, many communists expected just such a move.
When Germany invades Poland, republican Spain joins the allies declares war to Germany, Hungarya and Slovakia following the UK.
In Januari 1940, Republican Spain invades Portugal. Case Yellow occures as IOTL, except for somewhat more extensive fighting, as IOTL Petain asking for an armistice.
The better segment of the Republican army was in north-eastern France at the start of case yellow, much of the remaining enter France after the start of Case Yellow and are defeated in south-western France.
When the Germans enters Spain, they mostly face draftees, who despite often giving a better fight than the French are beaten more easily because hey are less equipped.
By August, blitzkrieg have gone through much of the Iberic peninsula, in the course of September all resistance pockets are crushed.
Guerilla warfare follows, between July and August they cause some problems but between September 1940 and June 26th 1941 (start of TTL Barbarossa), most of the revolutionnary groupuscules are either exterminated, captured or marginalised.
The communists cells of of Spain and Portugal meanwhile, organised themselves further and learned the lessons from the demise of the other armed movements.
Between June 1941 and December 1941, communist movements starts taking action (signficant but not massive problem for the occupation) while the occupation forces fully engages in the elimination of all those they considere to be undesirable.
By summer 1942, Spain and Portugal are seen as Judenfrei by Berlin.
Communist resistance keeps growing and in late 43 or early 44, a communist revolution against the occupants allow the allies to establish a foothold in southern Spain and progress rapidly once the German lines are broken.
Either that or allies invasion occures in Normandie while the axis believes the attack will come against southern Spain.
At the end of WW2, Germany is divided pretty much like IOTL, although Yugoslavia gain more territorie from the Italians than historically and nearly half of Austria is occupied by the Red Army.
Spain and Portugal becomes the Iberian Union, which start its first 5 years plan in 1946. With Sovietic assistance, the plan is more successfull than the Soviet-Union´s own first 5 years plan.
Relations with the Soviet-Union only breaks down in 1959, then the Iberian Union focus on cooperation with Yugoslavia and China, relations with China are given priority hovewer. The Iberian Union still completes its 3rd 5 year plan successfully. Union newspapers and television start denouncing Krushnev as an assassin and alcoholic degenerate in the early 1960s, while the Union military command decides to solve an eventual overpopulation problem by colonizing former Portugese colonies and possibly conquering south africa.
Yesh, for things to continue as close as IOTL so long after the POD is indeed more unlikely than Seelöwe.
