There is one really important thing about the carlists, they supported de centralization a lot which would help a lot keeping the empire toguether.

In addition to if Spain were in the triple entente, since the king of Spain also has the title of king of Jerusalem, if they defeated the Ottomans in the subsequent peace treaty, Spain would surely claim the territories of current Israel and Palestine under a protectorate. of Jerusalem or a captaincy general of Jerusalem. Not to mention that Spain made attempts to conquer Cambodia and Brunei so possibly these were replicated and came to fruition. Furthermore, Spain would surely remain the main world power, but one of the clearest things is that Morocco would surely be a completely Spanish protectorate, not like in our reality, which was divided between Spain and France, it would have a greater presence in the Pacific, surely forming a Viceroyalty of Indonesia (it should be noted that this would not be composed of all of Indonesia but the Philippines, the island of Brunei and surrounding islands in addition to its Pacific islands) this viceroyalty can also have the name of Viceroyalty of the Philippines, Brunei or the East Indies, Surely it would be given more possessions in the distribution of Africa, possibly predominating the aforementioned Morocco, a larger region for Spanish Guinea in the Gulf of Guinea, surely Tunisia due to Spanish attempts in the past during the beginnings of its empire, possibly some concessions. In East Africa, the most likely small size or the island of Madagascar to have an interconnection between its American, European, African and Asian territories. The relationship between Spain and France would not be entirely positive, mainly because France has a territory known as Perpignan or Roussillon that previously belonged to Spain and also having Napoleon third in power, assuming what happens as in our reality, that relationship would not be positive at all. less in the short-medium term and it would be more pro-Prussian in the Franco-Prussian war due to the fact that Spain has territorial claims against France, in addition to the fact that France would not be important as in our reality it is surely between the third and fourth world powers. Spain's greatest enemy at this point would be the British Empire since in our reality it encouraged the independence rebellions and that tells us that they would try it in this other one but failing in the fact in addition to the fact that then it would be more difficult for the British to consolidate their power starting with a great disadvantage in resources with the Spanish Empire, it is most likely that industrialization could occur in the British Empire but Spain would take little time to catch up so possibly the British Empire would be much less important or powerful in this reality. Parallel, remaining as the second world power, remaining as the rival of Spain as a step in our reality between the French and the British until the arrival of the Germans, now I could not tell you if this, in the case of this reality, would calm the Spanish-British rivalry or inflame it more by putting the Spaniards on the German side I think that it is 50% yes, 50% no, that would be very variable political frameworks due to the already historical and existing triple rivalry between the Spanish, British and French empires, something that I am clear about is that the British would have control of India and they would be given quite a few concessions in Africa but surely not as many as in our reality. Another thing that would change are the opium wars in which Spain would surely be more involved than it was in our reality because it would be beneficial to have the Chinese market open, with the Philippines as the main trading point in the East. Another change would be the opening of Japan. abroad, since the Americans did not have much control of the Pacific, this imposition of the USA towards Japan to open itself to the world would surely not have been given, although it is most likely that another nation would have done so, possibly the British Empire, the French Empire or Spain itself, but There is also the possibility that this did not happen and Japan did not have the rapid industrialization it had and the Japanese empire was not formed and finally it is the annexation of Hawaii to the USA. It is most likely that they would remain independent like the Hawaiian Kingdom or they would be annexed. as protectorate by the British Empire or the Spanish Empire. Now around the First World War and consequently the Second and the Russian Revolution, things would not be chlorine as they could be due to what has already been mentioned in the existence and possibilities of Spain's relations with both Germany, the British Empire, France, Austria. Hungary, Italy... From my point of view these would be the most likely scenarios if the Spanish Empire did not collapse.

They were already in decline by the 1800's. They were an irrelevant power. They spent too much time, money and manpower fighting dumb religious wars. They got a lot of land in Europe due to inheritance. But their Religious Intolerance, basically made them lose it all. Had they not been intolerant religious zealots and tried to enforce trade policies that only benefited the crow, the Dutch would have never revolted. They didn't revolt against Burgundy for almost 250 years. But the moment the Spanish inherited Burgundy it all went to hell, because they tried to force religion and trade policy on the Dutch. That War triggered the whole Religious Wars that would go on for almost 100 years.

As a Spanish myself, and with quite a bit of knowledge about our history, this video sadly comes from a false premise, Fernando VII swearing the constitution wouldnt have solved anything, all american territories outside of Cuba, Puerto Rico and Peru (a true royalist bastion that didnt rebel, but was conquered by Bolívar and San Martín) developed independence ambitions that were irreconciable, coupled with high levels of republicanism stemming from the US and the French revolution, the actual measures to mantain the empire in the Americas would had to ve taken before, there are two possibilities, the Aranda Memorial, wich stated that basically out of the continental american territories we should have created three Kingdoms of the same dinasty that were basically independent but cooperating with us economically and geopolitically; or another approach that was to cut power from the Vicerois (the delegates sent by the King to be supreme authority, this system also was used in like Italy, Aragon and so on at various times) and let the nobles, cleregy and third estate of the american territories have their own cortes (this was somewhat problematic due to the Bourbonic centralism, but could have actually have been done under Carlos IV that was a bit more leanient due to him not being too smart) also, the more rebellious territories were New Granada and Río de la Plata, why ? Because their Vicerroyalities were newer (and New Granada was actually abolished during some decades in the mid 1700s) and less well structured, so that gave rise to the unchecked influence of local authorities, also they had less priviliges inside of the complicated political and economic system, also affected by the trade reforms of Carlos III that were detrimental to american trade. Also the Philippines were actually given autonomy, but some months after the peace with the rebels was signed, the war against the US started and they returned to the rebellion, and actually they fought the americans for like 4 years more when they conquered the islands.

This was one of your best scenarios so far! I love the realism you putted to this, because Spain is still powerful, but they don't become the undisputed hegemon of the world that many imagine if the spanish empire survived. This is a 10 in realism.

Alright, so there are some mistakes that I have to fix (sorry but I literally study Spanish history). So It doesn't really matter if you call the Viceroyalties colonies or not, the Spanish Empire wasn't really a "traditional state" as it was called "the Spanish Monarchy" the Viceroyalties were part of the Crown so they already had a large degree of autonomy. The wars of independence were just a ploy of the creole elites to take power (since the Bourbons started to tax heavily on the elites), most of the people living there and the natives supported the Crown but since the peninsula was demolished by the French and British invasions it didn't have the economic power to rearm the military (plus most of the wealth was in America), also during the wars of independence the British sent troops to help the rebels, but they also looted the royal haciendas (where all the gold and silver was storaged) and they also destroyed the proto-industry that Spain already had. The rest is pretty much legit (if we count it's alternate history), the Constitution of 1812 would have been enough to keep the Viceroyalties loyalty so yeah, good job.

@mqdboy9278

3 ай бұрын

Also, Spain would have probably recovered economically way faster if the Viceroyalties didn't get their independence and there wasn't political instability. Spain (by this I mean the entire empire) would have probably become the second global power after Britain (since it had a massive quantity of resources).

I can agree that this is an interesting concept seeing how Spain could interfere in foreign affairs.

Excellent video, But I think that Spain would have gotten more land in Africa in the Berlin Conference, since it would be a more powerful nation and would still maintain its fleet that it lost against the USA ❤🇪🇸

The viceroyalty of New Spain didn't want a constitutional monarchy. The "independence" movement started as an uprising against the Napoleonic represantatives, thats what father Miguel Hidalgo meant by "death to bad government". Bad government as in the revolutionary and democratic ideals of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Code. In fact the uprising had mostly died down by 1814 when the Spanish Constitution was repealed, but it picked back up in 1820 when it was reinstated and this time it was backed by the Mexican-Spanish elites and former generals in the Royalist army like Agustin de Iturbide and Lopez de Santa Ana. They were willing to make Ferdinand of Spain the Emperor of Mexico, similar to how Franz Josef would later be Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, but the major sticking point was that Mexico should remain an absolute Monarchy. However since Ferdinand took to long to reply, Agustin was temporarily appointed Emperor, and by the time the Spanish constitution was repealed in 1823 and Ferdinand was finally willing to take action the Mexican monarchy collapsed and became a republic.

The viceroyalties were not colonies, in addition to the fact that you did not include the general captaincy of Chile within the viceroyalty of Peru, Chile was from Peru, If you do not include it, you should not illuminate the general captaincy of Caracas in the viceroyalty of Granada because it was autonomous from the viceroyalty.

Basically in this world Austria And maybe Prussia protect Poland with especially Austria getting a Habsburg Candidate to become leader and in return of the alliance Austria Would Give Up The Polish majority of Galicia (Not Ukrainian Though) and with this I would see that Russia has minor expansion into the Baltics and Ukraine (So Like Just A little Bit Weaker Poland Than Before The Partitions) With this I would say Either during the Austro Prussian Wars Russia invades Poland While Austria's distracted leaving Poland To Fall In Russian Hands (most likely most territories become a puppet government) Or a later Hungarian Uprising in Austria Russia invades and a compromise comes with the borders from the 3rd partition.

Seems like a great idea, I can do that in the future, as now I don't have enough knowledge on that topic!

No fascism and no communism what a world to live in

Nice

I’d give this a 10 for realism because I think what Spain would do this to continue to secure its position as a global power

I'd give it a 7-to-8; the assumption that Lincoln would go for a third term seems a stretch, although continued Republican control for that term seems likely. The one big flaw is not taking into account the rise of industrial wealth redistribution. Out of curiosity, what would be the position of your "Nuevo Imperio Español" in terms of business interests coming to the fore? If these companies are allowed the same ability to wield influence as they were in the US and Britain, there might be decisions made where Spanish business entities pushed the Empire into taking actions that would knock the scenario off target. If that's addressed at some point (i.e., more worker considerations taken into account more quickly than they had been in America and the UK), you'd still be on track with this. Otherwise, this was pretty good.

One thing i didn't get was why spain would willingly give land to the US and the US, Florida, since it's so geographically stategic, maybe louisiana. The adam onis treaty was a one and done deal bc it formerly set the borders and prevented US expansion its why they didn't renew a version of this with Mexico irl. Great video tho keep up the good work

Great video, but wouldn't spain have received more colonies in the Berlin Congress due to having a more stable and capable army?

Spain had a more powerful navy RL than the USA until 1880's or around then. So imagine if they kept their empire .

In the war of 1898 it was stronger, corruption was what caused them to lose property.

Wouldn't Spain gain more african colonies because of its power at the time? I think they would keep or even expand theyre coast in Cameron all of morocco and maybe some additional scattered colonies like germany

Por dios, la patria, y el rey!!! Oriamendi, a carlist song. Did you know the richest province and the first one to have a railway in spain was Cuba before 98'?

You ignored the fact that simon bolivar existed

Can u do a video what if Croatia gained its indenpendence in 1840

I don't see how Serbia would just agree with giving away Macedonia to Bulgaria, and you didn't even give a good reason for it to happen. Also there is no way a war with the US could be prevented, Manifest Destiny was huge back then. 4/10 in realism

Como dijo Wellington en 1806 "la unica forma de hacernos con el territorio español de america es arrancandolos de la corona española en forma de Repúblicas"

Viva la Hispanidad desde Argentina!

The ending we could have had if King Ferdinand VI wasn't such a stubborn man and have not resisted the constitutional monarchy. From the Philippines. 🇵🇭 Viva España! 🇪🇸

This is actually wrong. The criollos (spanish born in the Americas from peninsular parents), who held the vast majority of power in the different Viceroyalties, supported Ferdinand VII's absolute monarchy. The Viceroyalties and General Captancies commenced the independence movement due to the influence of masonry from the time of French-conquered Spain. Bolivar and all his entourage, along with the rebels in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata (current Argentina), which was the first of the overseas territories to rebel, were all bourgeois masons. The masonry was the cause for the downfall of the Spanish Empire.

Being made to give up half of the North Macedonian region in return for just Bosnia alone? Now that's how you recreate a Serbian version of Italy's whole "Mutilated Victory" complex. I guarantee that the poor Serb diplomat who signed off on this deal would share the same fate as Franz Ferdinand.

8/10, In WW1 Spain would probably get Gibraltar as a reward from the UK, and i think that Croatia would get indipendance and that Vojvodina would have been given to Serbia.

Can you do if the British empire and French empire didn’t collapse that would be a great scenario because both collapsed due to decolonisation great video

I have a suggestion. What if the first Bulgarian empire took Constantinople?

During the 15th, 16th, and early 17th centuries, Spain was the hegemonic world power. Neither France nor England dared to cough at him. Until the battle of Rocroi. And if Portugal had not become independent, Brazil would now speak Spanish, not Portuguese.

idea : what if the polynesian confederation plan by king kalakaua happened ?

what if Crassus conquered Persia alongside Publius gaining the cognomen "Parthicus" for their family? This would make a third sphere in the civil war, and I know many things what Crassus planned was impossible and yes Carrhae was impossible but there didn't have to be a Carrhae because Armenia offered Crassus help which means Crassus could have attacked from the same route Trajan did. Crassus already had more money than Caesar and Pompey and the region he would have conquered would have put both Caesar and Pompey to shame in both the riches and the fame that would come from being the new Alexander, something both Caesar and Pompey would take as a major loss making Crassus possibly even more powerful than them on many ways. Also learning as he conquers Parthia would bring eastern tactics to the Romans earlier.
