  2. AH Challenge: The Sun Never Sets on the Spanish Empire

    It was a different vision. For the spanish and to a lesser extent the french amerindians were more humans (and thus subject to economic exploitation). After the conquest of Mexico many local noblemen recived titles and properties from the spanish crown, some even became writers, clerics and even...

  4. A Prussian on the Spanish Throne (my first TL)

    Isn't there any chance that you post something on alt-Unamuno, alt-Benavente, alt-Blasco Ibáñez, alt-Valle Inclán,...?:D

  5. AH Challenge: The Sun Never Sets on the Spanish Empire

    I have lot's of reviews in my computer, I'll check for the sources and I promise to post the links (maybe it takes me a bit long, so you are allowed to remind me). The XVI and XVII were two of my favourites centuries but when I discovered these thinkers of the School of Salamanca I absolutely...

  6. AH Challenge: The Sun Never Sets on the Spanish Empire

    Different Inquisitions. Moreover you would end up with a different religious tribunal like in Switzerland or just angry mobs manipulated by politicians like in France or England. It is not that easy.

  7. AH Challenge: The Sun Never Sets on the Spanish Empire

    So many errors and stereotypes here... adrian101a Have you ever heard about the School of Salamanca (Austrian School of Economy on the XVI Century)? They talked about the value of the money before anyone in England or in the Netherlands even considered that! They studied the...

  8. Italy joins WWI early for the CP?

    What could be the impact of a weaker Entente? Probably the pro-german faction in Spain could make them to move against France and Britain. What about SWeden? Could they feel tempted to recover Finland? The Netherlands?

  9. A Prussian on the Spanish Throne (my first TL)

    There could be even a rise of the Iberist movement and a decaying Portugal could look for Spain's protection in their African claims.

  10. Map Thread IV

    Ooops, you're completely right in both senses: it sounds cool and it is viceroyalty.

  11. AH Challenge: The Sun Never Sets on the Spanish Empire

    And the implications of this decission are... The main problems for Spain to survive as a colonial empire were sticking to european wars far away from her borders, falling to the temptation of the american silver, that caused a lack of industry in the peninsula, social conflicts between the...

  12. Map Thread IV

    You should have changed the names of the Spanish possesions. It would be Vicekingdom of New Spain, not Colony of Mexico and Vicekingdom of New Granada, not Gran Colombia.

  13. AH Challenge: The Sun Never Sets on the Spanish Empire

    But according to Spanish Law they were not colonies. The people living there had the same rights than the people living in the European possesions of the Spanish Crown (in fact the natives were more protected than after the independence of the american republics). If there were problems was with...

  14. A Prussian on the Spanish Throne (my first TL)

    But the society would have been somewhat altered. You have a former first power that is slowly falling down, it has became almost irrelevant. Suddenly there is a change in the dinasty and the nation is able of wining a war in the Americas and the Pacific against a formidable adversary... People...

  15. 1066: The year of the Comet

    You have a better candidate a bit later with the C/1490 Y1 that was sighted between the 31st december 1490 and 12th february 1491 from East Asia and that was the object that came closer to the earth: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=18914

  16. Spain and Portugal in WWII

    A funny TL would be one with Roosevelt accepting Spain's offer and having another "Blue" division in the Pacific...

  17. AH Challenge: The Sun Never Sets on the Spanish Empire

    Inquisition has nothing to do with that question. There were spanish bankers in Seville, Valladolid and Medina del Campo, there was also an incipient textile industry (with extraordinary raw matherials) and a captive market in the Americas... what was the problem? The Inquisition? Nope...

  18. The New World

    Why would Spain allow them to settle in Patagonia? Why would the British be interested in there? There was nothing, wouldn't they prefer the Cape Colony? It is also quite weird to change some lands in Florida with low strategical value for lands in Mosquito coast and Honduras just pointing to...

  19. WI an alternate Emperor in 1519?

    In fact, Charles economical support did not come from the spanish silver or gold but from the Fugger.

  20. A different Kinsale
