History –
The Spanish were set to come out of WWI completely unscathed due to King Alfonso XIII’s decision to remain neutral in the war. And it would of worked if it weren't for those meddlesome kids…. I mean a particularly spiteful Spanish General named Carlos Rios. Furious with the King for his pacifist - and therefore weak - choices, the General spent months rallying support before finally declaring war on the Spanish Monarch. The General used Alfonso’s decision to refuse attacking the Allies – in particular America in retaliation for the Spanish-America War in 1898 – as the major platform in his bid to create an army to challenge the King. The ploy worked to perfection as half the Spanish Army threw their support behind the rebellious General. With his new-found army, Rios waged a hit and run war against Alfonso XIII’s forces, focusing on capturing – rather than destroying – Alfonso’s supporters.
The Spanish Civil War lasted 4 years and ended with General Rios trapping King Alfonso and his most loyal units at Toledo. The final battle waged for weeks and both sides suffered massive casualties but in the end Carlos forces pushed through and Alfonso was killed, ending the War on 3rd January 1920.
Weeks later in Madrid, Carlos was crowned King Carlos de Fuentes I. He also used the occasion to form a small elite military unit named the Knights of Santiago, made up of the veteran survivors of the units that led the final assault on Alfonso XIII at Toledo. King Carlos now has the task of uniting his units with the remaining forces that were once loyal to King Alfonso, all the while setting his sights on Portugal and reuniting the Iberian Peninsula.
