Spainish Atlantis

Since no earliest date is listed then maybe the Spanish Atlantis survives and becomes a thriving city to challenge Rome and Carthage. It then conquers Spain, Italy, North Africa and parts of France.

But the "Spain" in that scenario (with a Bourbon victory) is basically a possession of France.

But if Spanish Atlantis survives, we wouldn't have Spain as we know it, just another ancient Mediterranean power. So it doesn't count.

And the Dutch will happily accept being overtaxed and underappreciated because their distant paper pushing ruler is of the same faith why again?

Yeah. The Netherlands were a millstone around Spain's neck. Too far and too close to too many enemies. No Netherlands would be great for Spain
