If by some chance the reformation in 1536 had been a success in Spain (like it was in Northern Europe) and the counter-reformation had failed, and Spain had become a majority Protestant country. Would Franco have been able to take power in Spain, come the 20th Century? I have read that one of main reasons why Franco was able to take power in Spain was that he had the support of a Powerful anti-socialist Catholic Church. If you butterfly away the fact that Spain was a Catholic Country and make the majority of the people of Spain into Lutherans. Would we have seen Franco or any version of him and his later regime?
