As a successor to the other thread. Also, list the long term consequences this will have on the world. The POD should be between 1800 and 1887.
 
That's a no go, bro. Unless you figure out some way to supernerf the US (longer US Civil war, maybe? But in that situation, we wouldn't want to go to war with Spain), or figure out a way to keep Spain at least somewhat powerful, or both, it's gonna be a blowout.
 
To the OP: Does it have to be the Spanish-American War from OTL? Or could it, for example, be Spain winning a war against the US in 1850's?

POD can be anytime between 1800 and 1887. That is ample time to create a plausible Spanish win.

That's the point. I need a POD. Haven't been able to get down to it myself.
 
Spain lost by the defeat of his fleet which was caused by the inability of the Admirals and corrupt Politicians coupled with the lack of state investment in modernizing the fleet as well as its officer corps. This rapid loss prevented the Ejercito (professional, well armed and trained to European standards, could be supplied and could meet their human and material losses. But as if that were not enough Americans had the help of Quintacolumnnistas ( Fifth Columnists) and Cuban rebels and revolutionaries Filipinos. with that avoid pod Carlist civil wars and a reformist government to achieve political work without the constant threat of the Conservatives.

I found this alternates timeline that leads from the Spanish Victory in American-Spanish War, at present, to an alternate First World War!!! : Http://www.militar.org.ua/foro/ucron...es-t36355.html
