So once upon a time I was told by someone that I collect threads like it's New World gold.
..... /coughs
So at this point, I decided to finally count how many threads I am in right now. I think I am managing my threads and don't mind starting new ones, but if I eventually ask if it's okay to wait to start a thread with you after I end a thread, do not feel bad! And though there's stuff on the list, depending on how available the other party is, you might/probably get bumped up, so let me know if you wanna do a thread! Please make requests here so I can keep track of my promises! Thanks!

The Reconquering
After living under the Moorish rule for centuries, the different kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula band together to drive out their Moorish occupiers. 722 AD marks the beginning of the reconquering of the Iberian plain as Spain returns to Christendom, three hundred years before the first official Crusade.

Treaty of Granada
France wants to control the Italian states as a means of projecting his power over the western part of the continent and influence the church. However, standing in his way is Spain, which possesses the Sicilian crown and whose king is a relative of the King of Naples. Thus, in an act to balance the power projected, Francis travels to Granada in order to convince Antonio that the two of them have a common cause that would be benefited if Spain stayed out of the conflict on the Italian peninsula.
♔ 1808 CE: L'Amour de Soi, L'Amour-Propre - France, Prussia, Spain
Dos de Mayo
