In ww2 the Portuguese leader Salazar managed to steer his Nation between the various camps, keeping his country out of the war and as well as managing to keep to the letter and Spirit of the various treaties to which Portugal was a party.
What if Britain and or the US had managed to secure basing rights on one or more of the Islands in the Azores?
Realistically how and could this be done?
What impact would this have had on the Battle of the Atlantic?
Conversely how might this have impacted the balance of power between Salazar and Franco (if anything?)
