So at one point in time we know that Spain ruled over Portugal and its territories in a entity called the Iberian Union. We also know that the Iberian Union fell apart in the end thanks to a whole host of reasons.
My challenge to you is this: Using a POD timeframe of your own choosing, prevent the fall of the Iberian Union and cite what the potential fallout would be if the Union continued to exist.
