okeey, maybe it is far fetched, but my general Idea is this:
a Spanish (or Andalusian or Portugese or anny Iberian peninsula based power) conquers OTL Aztecs, Mayans or anny other.
this "Iberian" power has to wage war with a european counter superpower for a long time, long enough for famine and battle to seriously weaken them. in turn, they would use Mameluk style warriors from the various tribes of america. true, manny would die, but those who survive will rise to power. population of these "Mameluk Natives" must increase enough to sustain a effective population.
the ultimate move: make them overtrow their masters and rule Iberia, or a part of it.
Fun? Difficult? ASB? or just a sick mind trick?
