WI Spanish victory?

I'm sensing a series of commoly done/cliche AH themes here...

You should read "Ruled Britannia".

There would need to be a UK, first.

Or the Spanish will to actually conquer England, for that matter. Probably, in the most Hispano-wanktastic case, a Hapsburg Catholic Monarch would be installed in the English throne, with the butterflies for Europe this would bring. But mind that, in spite of the Armada fiasco, the signed peace was ultimately favorable to Spain. The idea was, I suspect, more derived of a need of keeping naval supremacy and blocking the advance of Protestantism than an attempt to fully conquer the "Perfidious Albion".

They did not intend to conquer England in the first place. They wanted to depose the (heretic) bastard Queen, restoring the One True Faith (tm.), and end English support to the Netherland rebels.

In ther end, even had they won, when they left they probably would have only managed the first part (with the certainnty of one or two Elizabethan pretender rebellions down the line for whoeeve the new king was...), and restore catholicism for one generation at most. The netherlands would have been at most three or five years of respite.
