====== The Legacy of the Glorious ======

**//The Legacy of the Glorious//** (which can be read [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=238352|here]]) is an AH, written by [[offtopic:Milarqui]], that deals with a [[Spain]] that manages to regenerate itself after the many problems that take place during the 19th century. There are some parallels with [[A Prussian on the Spanish Throne]], but it grows on a different path than [[offtopic:Tocomocho]]'s timeline.

The timeline itself begins at //La Gloriosa Revolución// of 1868, which exiled Bourbon Queen Isabel II and her family to France and tried to establish a constitutional monarchy in Spain. In RL, after two years, Italian prince Amedeo di Savoia, the second son of then-Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II, became king of Spain, but resigned two years later, fed up with Spanish politics and instability.

In //The Legacy of the Glorious//, the man that becomes king is Prussian prince Leopold zu Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, who becomes chosen because a telegram that, in RL, contained a mistake, does not have it in this TL. This leads to Spain participating in the French-Prussian War (here called the //Hohenzollerns' War//) and eventually becoming, while not a Great Power, still a power to take into account.
