(seeing people keep saying that I should develop a weirder world for the multiverse war...)

WHAT IF...Cortes, instead of conqouring Mexico in the name of King Charles, tried to take it as his own Kingdom. Instead of having a falling out with the Mexican King, what happens if Moctezuma forges an allience with Cortes (perhaps without such a nasty smallpox outbreak) and Cortes ends up as the rular of Mexico. The Spanish would find it difficult to launch a counter-attack, while Cortes would be building a modern army and even inviting spanish who might know things (maybe even Jews) to settle,

Thoughts? Long-term development particularly wanted...
