Chapter 205: The Split of Spain

PreviousBack to directoryNext
On the morning of the same day, Portugal had just declared war on Spain. As a result, before the two countries went to war, war broke out everywhere in Spain.

For an hour on the evening of the 11th, it was the darkest hour in Spain.

Many important factories in Castile, the core of Spain, especially the military factories, were destroyed by spies of the Great Imbian Independent Alliance. (Although it was done by Portuguese spies, the Imbian Independent Alliance announced that it took responsibility and took over the blame.)

In Spain, in order to extinguish the spies infiltrating Castile and protect the factories, the four border regions of Spain's southeast, northwest and northwest raised the flag of rebellion and declared independence.

The Catalan organization of the Imbilia Alliance overnight occupied four important cities in Catalonia: Barcelona, ​​Girona, Tarragora, and Lleida, as well as Valencia in the Valencia region.

Although only five cities were captured and many others were not captured, the Catalan organization boldly declared Aragon's independence from Spain.

The Catalan Independence Organization has the capital to do this. These five cities were the core cities of the original Kingdom of Aragon and had huge influence. Even after merging with Castile, they are still important cities in Spain.

Galicia is the most remote place in Spain, but they share the same language and race as Portugal, so they have been infiltrated by Portugal like a sieve.

The Galician organization of the Imbilia League is different from the other three organizations in that their main purpose is to join Portugal.

That night, the Galician organization, which received the most weapons resources from Portugal, directly occupied the entire Galicia with the cooperation and help of some volunteers, and began to clear out the remaining Castilian forces.

Compared with the success of the above-mentioned two organizations, the Basque and Andalusian organizations were very unsuccessful.

The Basque kingdom of Navana was originally a land full of mountainous and rugged areas. After being ruled by Castile, the southern Basque interior was gradually assimilated.

In the dimension before Tangning traveled through, the Basque Country in Spain was also divided into two places, namely the Basque Autonomous Region in the north and the Lavala Autonomous Region in the south.

The Basque Autonomous Region has always had a strong tendency towards independence, while the Lavala Autonomous Region is generally subordinate to the Castilians. Because of their different positions, the two regions took different paths during the Spanish Civil War.

The Basque organization also received support from Portugal. However, due to complex geographical reasons, most of the arms were in the coastal northern areas, and not many were received in the southern interior.

With insufficient weapons and unfavorable public support, the uprising led by the Basque organization only succeeded in the northern region. It failed miserably in the inland areas. The uprising armed forces were directly defeated by the Castilians and the surrendered southern Basques.

People were annihilated.

After resolving the armed uprising in the Basque interior, the Spanish army pressed northward, leaving the Basque organization in a critical situation.

The Andalusian organization was even worse than the Basque organization. Not only did they fail to occupy the core cities of Cordoba and Seville, but they also did not occupy other medium-sized cities. In the end, they only controlled one island city-Cadiz.

.

It can be said that the Andalusian organization was the most unsuccessful in this great uprising of the Imbilia Alliance, and the uprising was almost directly suppressed.

If it weren't for the Portuguese navy, wandering outside the island city of Cadiz and providing armed protection to the Andalusian organization, the organization would have almost no place to stand.

There is actually a reason why Andalusia is so miserable.

It is different from the other three. There is no Christian country in history. It was conquered before, and Green Forest was finished long ago.

Although Andalusia was the last green forest area conquered by Spanish Castile, it was also the place where the most powerful raids were carried out.

On the Imbilia Peninsula, Andalusia can be regarded as a land of abundance, so the Castilians know its importance and have deep control over it.

Under the long rule, the Andalusians have been assimilated a lot, and can even be said to be a branch of the Castilians.

Among the four organizations in Imbilia, the Andalusian organization is the weakest. Many of them are composed of people who are not satisfied with the oppression of Castile.

These Andalusians believe that after they break away from Castile, they will live a richer life due to their superior location. The mentality of these people is similar to that of Stinky River.

However, these people were not powerful and their number was not large, so even though they received the second largest amount of funding from Portugal before this uprising, they were still suppressed.

The four independent organizations, regardless of whether the uprising succeeded or failed, all took the banner of independent nation-building.

The uprising of the separatist forces in Spain was generally successful. Even the worst Andalusian organization still exists in Cadiz, and their flag has not completely fallen.

Overnight, Spain underwent earth-shaking changes. Four countries became independent, and Portugal followed suit and announced its recognition.

The storm in Spain quickly spread across Europe and made headlines in various European countries. The importance of the news completely overshadowed the Italian-Turkish war.

Before the war between Spain and Portugal started, the country was completely in chaos. Although all European countries knew that independent forces in Spain had been emerging for a long time, they never expected that they would have such a strong explosive power and tear Spain into pieces overnight.

.

There was certainly a reason for Portugal's support, but Spain was so weak that it was never expected by European countries to be easily overthrown by the rebels.

What happened in Spain actually had a very bad impact, especially on Austria-Hungary, Tsarist Russia and the Balkan countries.

Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia are countries with many ethnic groups. The national uprising in Spain has provided ideas for thoughtful people in these two countries.

Perhaps, if you want to be independent, your own efforts are indeed important, but you also need to have someone to support you. (The world after World War I fully proved this situation.)

After the Galicians became independent, they applied to join Portugal's operation, which also attracted the attention of the Balkan countries.

Today's Balkan Peninsula, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, and even Montenegro are not a complete entity. Many of their ethnic populations are in other countries.
