A different Spanish succession

Maniago revolt
On 1661, Maniago, Almazan and Malong would have won against the Spanish with the help of the rest of the rest of the Natives of Northern Luzon forcing the Spanish to retreat South.

The major factor that made Maniago’s victory possible was the continued vitality of the population that would resist the Spanish conversions in the Cagayan and Pampanga River Valley since the repeated revolts against the Spanish since the Magalat Revolt and the Spanish would repeatedly were hostile to the Maniago revolt and the Chinese revolts and Koxinga threats to Manila would have just helped their revolts.

On 1668, the Spanish would cede the Northern Half of Luzon that revolted from the Spanish and the Portuguese would give Northern Luzon more autonomy which would have dissolved the Maniago government of Selurong or Northern Luzon as the Maniago government would accept Portuguese terms for his surrender in 1669 and the Portuguese would only focus on the already Christian population rather than try to convert a population that did not want to convert which included the population that is Crypto Muslim who would revert to Islam.

The territories that the Spanish ceded to the Portuguese in Luzon would be known as Nueva(Nova) Ecija to the Spanish and the Portuguese colonizers the cession would not include Bataan and Bulacan which were important to the Spanish but the provinces of Pampanga, Zambales, and the Sierra Madre in the eastern would would be the border of the Portuguese Luzon(Nova Ecija) and Spanish Luzon(Nueva Castilla).

The Portuguese would also renounce their claims to the rest of the Philippines and Mollucas in exchange for the Spanish recognition of the territory of Brazil West of the Tordesillas and Zaragoza in the treaty of Lisbon which would finalize the territory holdings of Portugal as well.

Isabel of Beira and the Spanish succession
Isabel of Beira would marry the Le Grand Dauphin in 1691, which would create an alliance between Portugal and France and she would produce a surviving son named Pierre(May 10, 1693), named after his own Portuguese Grandfather.[1]

On November 2, 1701, Charles II of Spain would die without issue which would cause France and Austria to start to fight regarding the succession of the Spanish Habsburgs possessions including the Spanish Kingdom the French and the Austrian will fight over the Inheritance and the French would win the war of Spanish succession, however they would be forced to separate the inheritance of France and Spain with Philip V ruling Spain as stipulated in the Treaty of Utrecht, Philip V would remarry to Louisa Maria Stuart also called as La Consolatrice on 1714 on the death of his first wife giving Spain a claim to the British throne after the death of Queen Anne and her issue which led to the throne being passed to the Hanoverians, the marriage with Louisa Maria Stuart and Philip V would produce a single surviving son named Carlos in December 2, 1716, who would inherit the Spanish Kingdoms on the deaths of his brothers without issue, he would be Charles III of Spain.

Partition of Poland
On the 1770s- 1790s Prussia, Russia, and Austria amongst themselves would divide, Prussia would take Greater Poland and Mazovia and Austria would take in Malopolska and Halych while Russia would take Lithuania and most of Ukraine, one of the reasons for this is to prevent the PLC from allying with revolutionary France.

The partition would gradually cause the separation of Poland and Lithuania and the future acquisition of Malorus including Halych by Russia after the collapse of the Austrian Empire, both Belarus and Baltic Lithuania would create the independent Lithuania after the Russians were expelled from Lithuania, the Russian banning of Uniates would cause the Uniate White Ruthenians to adopt Latin Catholicism or Orthodoxy which will strengthen the identity of Lithuania.

The Polish Silesians and Polabians of Eastern Germany would be affected by the partition as all of restrictions of travel of the Poles to their areas have been lifted and enabled them to be more easily be able migrate in their areas, the Polish Silesians would be more integrated with the Poles and affected by the migrations of Poles and Ruthenians who migrate there and would be affected by the partition levelling, and due to the migrations of Ruthenians and Poles to the Polabians and the Polabians would be able to rebound their own population causing them to exist as a protected minority in Germany.

British succession
Electress Sophia would die on May 28, two months before Anne, so the Electress’ son, George, Elector of Hanover, succeeded pursuant to the Act of Settlement of 1701. The possible Catholic claimants to Britain including Anne’s brother, James Francis Edward Stuart, were ignored. The Elector’s accession was relatively stable: a Jacobite rising in 1715 failed. Malborough was reinstated and the Tory ministers were replaced by the Whigs.

Note:
Note in this timeline, Philip V of Spain marries La Consolatrice and Elizabeth Farnese marries a junior line of the Bourbons, in this timeline, the Legitimist french claimants are the Bourbon-Two Sicilies which basically would make the Italian unifiers in this timeline more credible after the extinguishment of the direct Bourbons and the ITTL Isabella II of Spain would not marry a Bourbon.

Elizabeth Farnese
On 1714, Elizabeth Farnese would marry Pierre of France, giving an Italian Duchy for a spare son of the Dauphin, this would also mean that there would be a spare branch of the Bourbons who would marry to the Spanish Bourbons, Braganza and the French Bourbons.

Elizabeth Farnese would have two children that survived infancy, namely Charles, Duke of Parma(December 2, 1716) and Pierre of Parma(May 10, 1720).

7 years war, Philippines theater
In the 7 years war, a joined Novo-Ecijan(Portuguese Territory)[1], British and Portuguese army led by Diogo Silang[2] would try to occupy the rest of Luzon for the Portuguese and the British in 1762, which would cause a Spanish defeat in favor of the British and they would occupy the Spanish half of Luzon or Nueva Castilla for the Novo Ecijans, however in the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the Spanish half of Luzon would be given back to Spain as the British are interested in Louisiana which they got in the Treaty of Paris, Nueva Castilla would remain under the hold of the Spanish, Novo Ecija/Selurong in the present would claim the area of Nueva Castilla as part of their nation.

The Novo Ecijans and the Portuguese would feel betrayed at what the British did to them although the British will support them in the next wars.


1. Northern Luzon.
2. He is Diogo Silang not Diego Silang here.

I feel like this alone could be a TL. Who did the girls marry? How did they escape?
 
Andres Novales
On 1823, Novales would rebel against the Spanish and the Portuguese and their colony of Nova/Nueva Ecija/Selurong under Pedro IV would support it and would want to gain the South of Luzon as the people of Novo Ecija wanted the land of Southern Luzon or Nueva Castilla from the colony of the Philippines.

The Portuguese support of the Novales revolt will backfire in them as Novales would retain control of the Spanish Nueva Castilla and not cede Nueva Castilla to the Portuguese leaving Novo Ecija and Portugal in the cold and revanchist against the country of the Filipinas in the end, even in its independence from the Portuguese.
