Galicia vs Galica

With any pod 1750 onward, have Galicia (Iberia) and Galicia (Eastern Europe) be in a war with one another as independent countries.

If they are on opposing sides of a world war, it counts even if they don't nessecarily fight each other.

Side note: if both existed as independent countries, they would have the same name and this would cause confusion. How would they solve this?

Slightly different spellings, maybe a regional denomination attacked to the name of one or both countries and the confusion will be minimized

Rename Eastern European Galicia to "Carpathia". Problem solved.

In regards to both Galicias fighting each other, do the early Napoleonic Wars count? Iberian Galicia was controlled by Spain, Carpathian Galicia was controlled by Austria at that time, and both countries fought in the Second (1798-1802) and Third Coalition (1803-1806) wars against each other, Spain being on behalf of France.

Galicia could easily replace the Kingdom of Castile with different inheritances during the rule of the Jiménez dynasty in the Reconquista era Spanish kingdoms. While Galicia-Volhynia was an independent principality in the age of Kievan Rus'. If the Mongol invasions were prevented or limited and Galicia-Volhynia had Jagiellon-like or Habsburg-like dynastic success they could rule substantial parts of southern Central Europe. While a Galicia in Spain could expand into Italy. Northern Italy then could be a flashpoint between the Ruthenian and Iberian Galicias.
 
Have the east european Galicia known as, and always referred to as 'Galicia-Lodomeria' (in OTL the Habsburgs did call this area 'The Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria').

No, because neither where independent countries.

Putting aside technical impossibility (one in the Eastern Europe does not have access to the sea so how are they go to fight each other), this is based upon a rather questionable premise that the whole world using English geographic terms.

Name of the country in Eastern Europe could be (within Latin alphabet) Galitz, Galicja, Galizien, Halic, Galitia, Galytsia, Halychina, or even Gacsorszag. Or it can be Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria or Kingdom of Halich-Volynia.

Well, the countries don't have to be the same size as otl. Slavic Galicia can expand to the black sea for example. Also, I am being lenient, as I did say that having them on opposing sides of a world war would count.

Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, OP specified a POD from 1750 on.
