Hello everyone, I have been building an alternate story a few months ago in which Brazil became a great power comparable to the power of France during the 19th and 20th century. In this world Brazil industrialized very early being one of the first places to industrialize, after its independence...

What if Charles I of Spain was chosen as the Holy Roman Emperor instead of Francis I of France? How would this affect the histories of both the HRE & Spain? How would Charles manage a ridiculously big domain with assorted laws, governments & customs?

Otl, the Visogoths managed to repulse the Umaayads from Iberia, thus keeping it Christian. But what if they failed, and Iberia fell to invaders? Could a christian state emerge in the mountainous north, ala the Kingdom of Tangiers in northern Morocco? What would the ramifications be? Ooc: the...

Filibustering was a sort of practice a person engaging in unauthorized warfare against a foreign country. it was used by mostly US Citizens to try to take over Latin America. But what if the USA wasn't the only one to try this practice? What if people from another country, who used to control...

The Eagle and The Phoenix: A Less than Splendid Little War Introduction. (You can skip this if you want to get to the war) The Lead Up to the War Note: I plan to expand this to cover the Cuban revolution in more detail and edit it as needed. The war itself is often regarded to have begun...

OTL, Spain has long been the greatest power of Europe. Despite being forged in the fires of la reconquista, it maintained the relative religious tolerance that muslim iberia held. This gave it the edge in manpower to compete with the other big boys, and it established strong loyalty to the king...

In the OTL, hundreds of Manila galleons traveled through the Pacific, just south of Hawaii. However, many Spanish galleons did not bother to land on the islands because of the Spanish inability to properly explore the Pacific Ocean and to maintain Spanish monopoly on the trade. The Spanish also...

OOC: Big POD is that John of Asturias survives to be king and have a surviving line, at least for a few generations, and one of these kings decides that Protestantism and Judaism aren't entirely awful, and that the toleration is likely best for Spain, made more notable by the relative religious...

So I'm aware that the Battle of Pavia (1525) and some particular counterfactual scenarios have been aired on this alternatehistory.com forum before, however, in this I aim to ask a different question about which I hope to generate some enlightened (and civilised) discussion. For those who...

In OTL We Know that democratisation only came due to Spanish King tricking him, Now i know this is unrealistic, but its not outright sealion, so what if Franco decides to negotiate with Democrats and democratize, realizing that his Regime wont survive his death and so this way he atleast has...

For the purposes of this scenario, let's suppose that the United States is in a troublesome position at this point in the American Revolutionary War (how it comes to be in this position is up to discussion). The Thirteen Colonies are under such stress that they are willing to accept any treaty...

As the title asks, in the absence of the Spanish-American War, can Spain win its conflicts in Cuba and the Philippines? In the Philippines the Pact of Biak-na-bato was in place, but things weren't quiet just yet and the pact seems to set up a very temporary peace. IIRC the Cuban War was still...

Is there any way for one or more of the leading countries in the world, respected for its civility and world station, to be Spanish-speaking? This is not to say that the Spanish-speaking countries are barbarous or don't have culture (They absolutely do), but the GDP of Spain and Mexico is the...

Let's assume that through some series of events Spain is able to unite the entire Iberian peninsula under its rule. Let us also then assume that this stronger Spain goes on to colonize the new world unabated, with the other European powers such as France or Britain being unable or unwilling to...
