Chapter 258: Treaty of Salamanca - 1655 Part (1/2)

European Continent, Iberian Peninsula, the Spanish Empire, Salamanca City

September 28th, 1655

As the unification war in India unfolded, the Portuguese Restoration War reached its conclusion. This marked a significant deviation from the alternate timeline Vijay originally hailed from. The War of Restoration for the Portuguese Kingdom should have lasted until 1668. But in this timeline, it ended as soon as 1655. This happened because of various factors, but the main factor was the involvement of the South Indian Empire, which had never existed in the past timeline.

In the city of Salamanca, located a mere 50 kilometres from the Portuguese defensive line, a historic political event was taking place. It marked the day when Philip IV de Habsburg conceded defeat to Portugal and agreed to sign a treaty acknowledging Portugal's independence from the Habsburg Crown.
