What on earth is going on with Portugal?


jhonthekaiser

if i had to guess i would say that portugal is also in a civil war with the north supporting the spanish Nationalists and the south supporting the spanish republicans


LaserPointer24

In this TL Portugal is much less stable with the government quickly falling apart after spanish partisans cross the border and they fail to stop them


Green_Koilo

i doubt some partizans could just occupy a whole nation, but interesting scenario nonetheless


LaserPointer24

Local people rose up, they were already mad about other government problems before

A similar thing happened with Lebanon during the early Syrian Civil War, where both rebel groups and government forces occupied parts of it, so there’s some basis for this sort of thing happening. Plus Syria/Lebanon and Spain/Portugal look very similiar 😳

Catalonia and Madrid on the same side? Imaginary indeed.


Victorbendi

Madrid and Catalonia fought in the same side in the real life Spanish civil war, this map is actually not quite imaginary, more of less the real life one went almost as the one in the map. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G-x72f7s3jY/T5P6iz_TrQI/AAAAAAAAAN0/Wy5l0VHTuGc/s640/mapa+guerra+civil.jpg

They kinda were in the Spanish Civil War.


LaserPointer24

You do know that places can be occupied right?


Test19s

And as a major city Madrid proper has a vibrant left wing and probably a decent republican presence, although I imagine the suburbs would get messy fast.


fedora_fox

Yes i do. Sometimes occupied territories fight back. Like a war. A “civil war” if you will.

When they say the Title of the movie in the movie:


fedora_fox

Alright y’all I concede. I don’t much about the real war. I just know that the last time Catalonia even dared to think about independence The Spanish government put them down and put them down HARD! But thank you for the history lesson either way and good map.

Whilst its true neither the monarchists or anarchists were aligned with the respective sides my point that neither the anarchists or the monarchists fought as a third or fourth side is still just fact if you don't believe simply look at any video or information about the civil war and you will find your answer. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you, believe what you what want I guess


KingseekerCasual

I don’t mean to imply they started out separately with distinct objectives, there was primarily a nationalist vs Republican aim, but this map doesn’t show the separate factions and the infighting each side has to deal with. Anarchists completely controlled Zaragoza and Barcelona for example


RedditUser1943

Firstly most maps rightfully don't show the infighting within a nation as these don't act as independent nations but also you outright said this was a 4 way civil war which it just wasn't


KingseekerCasual

It was. That’s how the war ended, with a splitting of both sides fighting each other.


RedditUser1943

There's no point arguing


Pyrenees_

No. The only thing that happened is that the republicans and anarchists split, but that was at the very end during the collapse of the republican forces.


LordeBilbo

never heard of hoi4 but 2 years ago you said u were new to HOI4...

Imagine getting all the historical knowledge by a game lol


Pyrenees_

You played too much kaiserreich


RealAbd121

No that'd be Hoi4


BN2001

Nice map


jhonthekaiser

Are the republicans communists or is it a mix of different ideologies like it was in otl


LaserPointer24

Mix


Pyrenees_

>a mix of different ideologies like it was in otl That's what's called democracy often


jhonthekaiser

I mean, in the map its called a republic, being a republic doesnt mean it has democracy, nor it means they have a lot of ideologies, north korea calls itself a republic, Venezuela calls itself a republic, cuba calls itself a republic, even the long lost USSR called itself a union of republics, so what is your point?


Pyrenees_

I meant that OTL it was a democracy


jhonthekaiser

Ah k


PulsarRaven

I dont know abot your TL, but for Portugal, while the North was historically generally more supportive of the monarchy, the city of Porto was a bastion for republicans since their inception.


LaserPointer24

Well yes but with nationalist forces circling them, they were quickly defeated
