If only this guy had survived Spanish/Iberian unification would have happened earlier and Spain could have avoided union with the Hapsburgs.
Imagine Spain united and not wasting resources on Hapsburg wars. Spain would rule the waves even more then OTL. Their land border against France is also naturally defensible. Spain could let the French and Hapsburgs bleed themselves dry fighting each other while it focused on its overseas empire and becoming wealthy.

As a portuguese the idea of iberian union does not appeal to me one bit. I do however have a fondness for nuestros hermanos, despite our warring history.
Also Olivença is ours
You chose the pleb option.Only based Padilla would have made Castile hit the industrial revolution in the XVII
¡Mira, el gran cornudo de Iberia!
If only he didn't fuck up spain's economy...
I have an slight interest in Spain under Franco and Spainish Empire during the 20th century when it was fairly small and confined to Africa but don't seem to know much about either of those.
What do you want to know?
What was it like to live under Franco and how was he as a leader? And what was the Empire like also how was it thought of by other colonial powers and were the Spainish good rulers in the 20th century
>What was it like to live under Franco and how was he as a leader?
Shit until the late 50's. After that Spaniards had a really confortable life with a massive raise on wages and the introduction of electronics and mass spread of cars.

Guinea was pretty developed for African standards and Ecuatorial Guineans see Spain in a very positive light to this day. The empire in Morocco was kind of harsh and really violent and rebellious
you would be/would have been a superpower.
Portuguese people have autism and believe that they had been relevant and people care about then.Olivares should have gone full berserker against them and the Catalans when he had the chance
As a portuguese I could live with an Iberian union, had we become an actual superpower. There was actually a time in history when the crown of Spain was offered to a portuguese king, and he refused it because it would obviously lead to the portuguese just becoming second-class spanish.
>had we become an actual superpower
It was a thing until Catalans and Portuguese chimped out in the most delicate possible time.Both deserve nothing but to be genocided due their treacherous nature and their low intelligence
Spain lost the train with the unstability of the XIX century.
Thanks bourbons, It was a french inside job.
F. His death set the King and the country into a deep coma. D Manuel the next king, altough blessed, was not near enough the promisse of a united Ibéria under a portuguese/iberian ruler with roots tracing back to the reconquista, instead of the invading french and german monarchs
