AHC: Spain in WW1

Basically the challenge is to have Spain join either the Allies (probably easy) or the Central Powers (a bit harder I'd imagine). I would like it to be a real part of the war, aka not like countries who supported the Entente like Brazil, and possibly a whole new front.

It would affect Spanish North Africa. I could see the Kabyls rebelling, also unrest within Spain.

Portugal was on the Allied side in OTL(after they had gotten rid of the king), so I can see that getting Spain into it(even if they are bitter over losing Cuba).

Portugal had been neutral till 1917 when it allowed the British to capture several German merchant ships in Portuguese ports. Germany then declared war against Portugal. The Portuguese had stayed neutral for most of war even though the Germans had invaded Portuguese East Africa in an attempt to attack British.

So we need to determine if Spanish join on their own or due to allied or central powers maneuvering. This would determine the fate of its African colonies. If they join central powers you can kiss all of Spain's African possessions good bye.
