  1. 19th Century w Napoleon Win

    Russia is part of the problem, but not the whole problem. Has Napoleon won the war in Spain? How? The only imaginable Napoleonic victory is in 1807 (before the intervention in the Peninsula). Russia an Spain in the Continental System and Britain isolated. 1807 but after that year, Napoleon...

  3. AHC: France Wins the Peninsular War

    The Art of War to Napoleon is summarized in the phrase "“Separate to live, unite to fight" but "to live" you need good roads and rich villages and towns...

  4. AHC: France Wins the Peninsular War

    No, France never had a chance to win the war. From a strategic point of view, the Peninsular War had two levels: one international, French - British, whose initiatives would be sporadic.

  6. AH Challenge: Biggest Spanish Empire 1900

    Interesting but I don´t think so. Between 1492 to 1810 there was no serious attempt to gain independence from Spain (Tupac Amaru, 1780 is in name of the King of Spain). In 1810, the rebellion in Buenos Aires is on behalf of Ferdinand VII and against Napoleon´s purppet.. No war against Napoleon...

  8. And it all came from a few scraps of bronze : an alternate Spanish colonization

    Bartolome de las Casas wrote his "History of the Indies" but was not divulged in Europe (In fact, It was not printed til 1875). Instead it had a great success his other book "The Devastation of the Indies", a not historical value book because no accuracy is intended to argue that the Spaniards...

  9. AH Challenge: Biggest Spanish Empire 1900

    The Spanish Empire was the largest in the world in terms of land of which possession was taken. From Chesapeake to Tierra del Fuego, passing through North Carolina, Georgia, Tenneessee, Brazil, Alaska, New Guinea or Borneo ... but never had population to colonize these lands (or...

  10. Combining the French and Spanish thrones

    Galitzia and Austrohungarian Empire are the same... very beautiful place and nobody explain why we can see a Galitzia in Poland/Ukrainja and other one in Spain... I don´t think Romania is a good name because Rome is not the origin of that Kingdoms...but barbarian kings... France: Franks...

  11. Combining the French and Spanish thrones

    Yes, the king Phlip V was Bourbon by father and Habsburg by grandmother (father line). In fact, Philip IV was his great-grandfather. Why not? Not Romania. Maybe West Empire: Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium and Italy.

  12. Combining the French and Spanish thrones

    Spain would have never accepted a French ruled...not in 1808 and not in 1715.. Well, I mention Franz Josef because if Charles IIII Spain and VI Austria would have joined the Austrian, hungarian, Czech and Spanish Crowns.. in 1914, FJ I would have been Kaiser von Österreich, , Rey Católico de...

  13. Combining the French and Spanish thrones

    I miss that Union: Spain und Austria. Franz Josef I was German, Czech, Burgundy and Spanish blood! How would it have been the history if Franz Josef would have been Emperor and Catholic and Apostholic King! If he was Emperor of Austria, King of Spain, King of Hungary, King of Bohemia etc...

  14. Combining the French and Spanish thrones

    Well, France had 20 million and Spain 8 million. Italy had more people than Spain and Spain conquer the country...till the Pope had to see the Spanish - Imperial Power in Rome...The Spanish Power in Italy came from Sicily to Genoa or Lombardy... and you forgett Ottomans... conquered Greece...

  15. Combining the French and Spanish thrones

    Three times more people than Spain... but Spain crushed frenchmen in many wars and battles. Spain could keep Portugal.. what Spain couldn´t keep Portugal when was fighting against Dutchmen, Englishmen, Danish, Swedish, German, Frenchmen, Ottoman, Berbers at the same time!!!

  16. Combining the French and Spanish thrones

    First, The war finished in a draw, so Britain failed to win the war...and it was more important Austria (the legendary Prinz Eugen) than Britain. But remember, Was finished in a draw, no victory for any side. Bourbon won in Spain and Habsburg in Europe. The union of the two crowns had set up a...

  17. TLIAD: La Isla Blanca

    You are right... TL are always more relaxed... but I understand them if they are plausible. Here the orders gave by Philip II (in Old Spanish and translate): To Marquis of Santa Cruz: Iréis derecho al Canal de Inglaterra, saliendo por él arriba hasta el Cabo de Margat, para daros allí la...

  18. TLIAD: La Isla Blanca

    But Britain lacked of any land in Mediterranean... and Spain had lot of places more important than Wight in North Sea: Ostende, Antwerpen, Bergen etc.. Wight would have been interesting to Portugal or berber or ottoman.. but not to Spain...Spain only wanted one thing from England: not support to...

  19. TLIAD: La Isla Blanca

    Well, I see a few differences. Spain never wanted to conquer England (and less Britain or the island of Wight... .they had Antwerp, Ostende, Nieuport or Dunkerque.. so, Why Wight island? For the Powerful King Philipp II, England was always a secondary goal... he only wanted to establish a...
