King Sebastian I of Portugal died in the battle of Alcácer Quibir in 1578, his death marked the end of an era, his sucessor Henry I died without heirs, after this events Philip II of Spain became king of Portugal and the Iberian Union started.
In Portugal, the Iberian Union is remembered as the start of the fall of the Portuguese Empire and during the union there was a messianic belief consisting in that Sebastian survived the battle not captured by the Moroccan and he would end the Iberian Union and restore Portugal's independence.
This belief is called Sebastianism, after a while became very mythological going ASB, but what if Sebastianism is correct?
Can Sebastian restore portuguese independence?
If he wins against the spanish what are the consequences?
The POD is after the establishment of the Iberian Union.
