spanish

Made this because I was bored, questions welcome

I just wanna preface this beforehand, this is my first post and I'm no professional. My research and what I say here isn't gonna be perfect, but I would appreciate some criticism on anything that seems implausible or downright wrong. That's all, now history. On August 13th, 1521 the Aztec...

Hernán Cortés and Pedro de Alvarado were some of the key figures of the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire, and later the early stages of the Spanish conquest of Guatemala. However, during the La Noche Triste, as the Spanish retreated from Tenochtitlan after the Spanish massacred Aztec nobles...

Map by u/KolonelJoe on Reddit. Can the United States actually win againist both nations in the 1850s and take these territories? What would be the impact of slavery? Would this begin American colonization of Japan?

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...

This is a possibility after 1900, if the Americans did not settle Mindanao as there were a lot of Chavacano speakers and Cebuano and Illonggo speakers were settled to Mindanao and even settlers from Luzon also went to Mindanao, although a Pre-1900 POD is possible, this is possible due to...

so since I have been reading more about the conquest of the Aztecs won during the siege of Tenochtitlan the population is bloodied but the Aztecs can start rebuilding my question is would this lead to a slower conquest of Mexico as the Spanish don't want to try at the capital again so they go...

According to Wikipedia, Primo de Rivera's coup was at least partly influenced by Mussolini's March on Rome. Supposing it's true, what effects could said event's nonoccurance have on Spain? Could this lead to the Abandonistas' triumph and the abandonment of the Rif's interior? What reactions...

Since I am doing a timeline where the Spanish don't colonize and discover the Philippines, it will be quite obvious that there will be the impact of the Spanish not conquering in the territory and one of that is that Luzon would be divided into a state ruled by Bruneian dynasty and a state ruled...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antillean_Confederation This idea had been around since around the Dominican War of Independence from Haiti. What if the 10 Years’ War coincided with the Dominican Restoration War and a Puerto Rican revolt and successfully won and unified as a nation. What would...

So, this is for a later POD on a timeline I'm writing. In OTL, Spain claimed the Amazon for themselves, but during the 18th Century, after redrawing of borders, the Portuguese controlled the Amazon. What if, the Spanish had explored and settled more of the Amazon during the 16th Century...

Can't really expand on the question, I really don't know much about Spain from this era. Still, I'm curious about any kind of views and thoughts on the matter. How would Spain develop in such world? Would the monarchy still be overthrown? What about the civil war? Please tell me what you think!

The Spanish colonization of the Americas, including the conquests of the Inca, Aztecs and other natives brought great wealth and power to the Spanish Empire. However, that wealth was also a disadvantage, as all that silver caused economic inflation in the Spanish Empire. So what if, Spanish...

During the Dutch Revolt, the Spanish response was a bit of mix bag. On one hand, they were able to recapture Flanders, and Brabant due to talented generals in the later stages, and ending up keeping the Southern Netherlands until the War of Spanish Succession. However on the other hand...

Spanish lost Luzon from Pagans/Hindus who proliferated in the 4th half of the 17th century, actually, it took time for them to expel the Spanish from the Island but they settled in the lands abandoned by Christians due to the late 17th century Famine and took control of the island completely in...

I will ask a simple question: What if Christopher Columbus landed somewhere else? Maybe he gets blown north and lands near DC, or south to Surinam.

Assuming Spain coerced Portugal into allowing Spain to operate in what became Indonesia, how would a Spanish conquest of Indonesia have progressed? How successful could Spain be at spreading the Catholic faith in Indonesia? Could the Spanish language replace the various Indonesian languages as...

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...

Hi, just a simple thought which has been bugging me lately. In any hypothetical scenario of Napoleon dominating Germany, Italy and Spain which is what he wanted to accomplish. What happens to the German, Italian and Spanish populations? I only ask because the French aimed to incorporate and...

With a PoD between 1789 and 1815, is it possible for Spain to fall to a French-style republican revolution (deposing the monarchy and nobility, instituting a new national identity, commitment to spreading the rebellion, etc.), mostly through internal instability, a republican French invasion, or...
