The idea of the Canary Islands being taken not by Spain/Castile but rather by the good ol' Portuguese bois has been floating around in my mind as of lately, especially as it seems that the Portuguese had a vested interest in them (and also discovered them outright). I've looked at this thread...

What if Leopold von Hohenzollern had been elected King of Spain in 1870 and PM Juan Prim had subsequently survived his 1870 assassination attempt? One possible effect: after this alt-Franco-Prussian War, Bismarck would certainly have sought to tie Spain to newly unified Germany by 'gifting'...

So in 1868 Isabella II was deposed in Spain's own "Glorious Revolution" as it was called. IOTL, this kicked off a search for a new King and eventually a new dynasty, which resulted in King Amadeo I being the first and only King of Spain from the Savoy. Then Germany was united, the Third Carlist...

My university library was giving away some old books and I managed to get some for myself. One book is titled "Before the Armada" written by R. B. Wernham and published in 1966. It was a detailed account of English foreign policy in the Tudor period. finished reading that some time ago and...

This is a little story that has been rounding my head for a couple weeks. Let me know what you think and how to keep developing the story. Granada, 31 of March of 1492 Alhambra Palace. Fray Tomas de Torquemada, Grand Inquisitor of the Holy Office, was in a hurry. He has been warned of the...

Disclaimer, I'm talking about this guy, not the 18th century rebel leader. Túpac Amaru was the last Sapa Inca of Vilcabamba, the city that resisted the Spanish conquest for decades after the fall of the Inca Empire. Following one final Spanish offensive to conquer Vilcabamba once and for all in...

On 1570 the Spanish would be opposed by the Selurong Sultanate, despite the fact that Lakandula and Sulayman are welcoming to the Spanish, the Muslims in Luzon or Selurong led by the Selurong Sultanate would oppose the Spanish forcing them to settle just in Manila and Tondo which was given by...

PoD is vert easy-some unfortunate accident happens to Emperor Charles V, resulting in his premature death in summer 1527, ending personal union between Spain and Holy Roman Empire much earlier than IOTL. So baby Felipe II is heir of Spain and Burgundy (with Isabella of Portugal as regent in...

Your challenge is to have Galicia be either independent or a part of Portugal, with a POD in 1900. For me, there are two windows of opportunities. The first is the 1930s Spanish Civil War end in a stalemate or in a very fragile Spain (I don't know what's necessary to do this), with the...

Inspired by my current Burgundian Empress TL, I have decided to make that scenario a collaborative TL between myself, @RedKing, @Prince of Permsia, @Reyne and @EdwardRex. We won't be accepting new players. Now, onto the rules for this little game: The starting date is March 1452. Each post...
