While I was looking at a map of Spain I started to wonder about Galicia and how it seemed to almost perfectly fit with Portugal save for a few bumps. I'm aware of the that Galicia and Portugal were united around 1065 before Portugal achieved it's own independence. Can anyone tell me why they separated? Though I think it may have had something to do with Castile and that they may have all been united. And how can one keep Castile and Galicia separate or even from unifying with Spain?
I know that Galicia's main economy is/was Shipbuilding, Agriculture, and Fishing. How could that prove useful to Portugal? What kind of changes to Portugal's history could acquiring(or keeping) Galicia(and Castile) do?
