What are the series of PoDs that could end up resulting in Iberia looking something like this by the end of the Reconquista (1492)? There are only 3 conditions to be met to arrive at this scenario: 1- At one point, Portugal will inherit the throne of Leon and dominate the union; 2- Castile and...

One of my favorite historical subjects to research is Al-Andalus, the Muslim-ruled realms of the Iberian peninsula that existed between the 8th and 15th centuries. A land where East met West, Al-Andalus represented a rare example of Islamic Arab rule of Western European territory, resulting in...

I was scrolling by a few threads here since I'm intrigued at the idea of a nation like Germany, the United Kingdom, or France being the first nation to develop socialism as opposed to Russia. Then I thought about Western European nations to develop socialism first, and the two I thought were...

I recently found out about this yesterday and was wondering how this would play out if it worked? The Andalusian Independentist Conspiracy was a plan created Duke Gaspar Alonso Perez de Guzman and Francisco Manuel Silvestre de Guzmán to revolt against Spain and create an independent kingdom in...

During the War of Portuguese Succession, there were many claimants for the Portuguese Throne, but two major ones. First was being Philip II of Spain, the eventually winner which create the Iberian Union, and António, Prior of Crato, an illegitimate grandson of Manuel I of Portugal. However...

During the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate, Abd al-Rahman I escaped to Spain and the Umayyad dynasty ruled over the Islamic Iberia until the 11th century. What if he wasn't able to escape? Would the Abbasids be able to take Spain? Would a local noble or general take over? Would a North...

On 1504, the betrothal of Miguel da Paz of Portugal with Madeleine of Navarre, the daughter of Catherine of Navarre would be confirmed by Louis XII and increased her dowry in order to create peace between France and England avoiding another war between the Spains and France due to Italy, the two...

https://www.academia.edu/49884168/Celtic_and_Italic_from_the_West_the_Genetic_Evidence This paper is similar to Allinei and Proto English website, he talked here that Ligurians, Tartessians, and Lusitanians are Italic. I think people can use it for research for any alternate timelines.

Let's say the carthaginians never colonise Iberia Or they do but get their asses beaten by local celts Or they do sucessfully and New Carthage survives the punic wars by making a peace treaty with Rome Maybe it's an ally, client state or they have cold-but-not-hostile relationship, it doesnt...

How much land could the Almohad realistically take with a big victory at Las navas de los Tolosa i have seen a lot of scenario were that lead to a semi Re-Reconquista were the vast majority of the peninsula end in Muslim control (wich seem a little improbable to me since Leon didn’t participated...

Okay, so this is sort of a weird fucking question to ask, but I was playing Crusader Kings 3 as Waldensians in Iberia (I'm not good, I didn't even come close to taking anything over), and I sort of started wondering something If this were real life and not a game with a set of programmed but...

Sinche Sancho Ramirez the kingdom of Aragon become in growing threat to the Hudid Taifa of Zaragoza expanding little by little in the Taifa former territory even if with some setback (the Taifa of Zaragoza was one of the strongest Taifa around and wasn’t exactly defenseless ) in 1094 Sancho died...

What is the best POD to achieve a more powerful and long lasting Taifa of Zaragoza ? Avoiding the Almoravid in Iberia would probably be a good thing or at least having them accepts them as autonomous vassal but I would like to have Zaragoza weaken and stop the rise of Aragon early on . And how...

As the titel sais, is it possible to get a roman empire rump state or successor in Iberia ? I know all the Barbarian Kingdoms would be successor but i am more talking about a state that is atleast in some way a direct continuation with an atleast partly roman ruling class, so no HRE, Vandals or...

Greetings to the board, As many of you may know, I have an unfolding timeline on the Assyrian empire, which has reached the year 580 BCE, from its inception at 628-627 BCE. The world is rapidly expanding in the timeline and I intend seriously to include, enflesh and expand upon the peoples of...

This hasn't been brought up for a while, so I figured I would throw out the question, what potentially could have occurred if the Portuguese won the Battle of Alcácer Quibir. The Battle was fought between Portugal and Morocco, which led to a devastating Moroccan victory including the death of...

Hey, I've been searching around the sub but couldn't find anything regarding Iberia during the long nineteenth century regarding Iberian nationalism and what seeds would need to be planted for such a unification to be possible. There was a small movement calling for such unity, but it was just...

Through marriage of Antoine de Bourbon and Jeanne d'Albret House of Bourbon inherited throne of Navarre, but Bourbon succession in Navarre could happen much earlier and on better conditions (IOTL by the time Bourbons took over Navarre was reducedvto areas north of Pyrenees). POD is: Blanche I of...

What if there had been no Celtiberians? How might their absence have altered history?

Your challenge is to have Iberia be mostly Muslim and Anatolia be mostly Christian, rather than the other way around as it is IOTL.
