For a TL I am doing I have Spain losing the war with the U.S.A same as OTL .Then I have a revolution in the Catalonia that spilt into Spain proper .This led to a peasant being crowned king .
Fast forward and Spain is stronger as a result .The nation was reformed and a navy built up .Also the nation was industrially rebuilt and thus was able to take a much greater part in the global scene .
I wonder if this could be possible .Does Spain have the resources on it`s own to become a strong and capable nation ?Or is it ASB .
