The surrender of Amaterasu to the Japanese proved controversial as she was an open Goa'uld and had committed several atrocities against humans. The Japanese believed that their Imperial family was descended from Amaterasu which added extra complication to the question as the Japanese bickered over religious details and whether or not Amaterasu could be counted as the Amaterasu. Alongside the Jaffa of Amaterasu fighting alongside the allies against Heru'ur made the already complicated issue a mess of threads details and conflicting issues. The Japanese slowly began to drift towards the idea of Amaterasu pretending to be a fragment of the Amaterasu simply since it seemed the easiest option.
The last of the Jaffa of Heru'ur were finally pushed from Amaterasu's capital world and the issue of what to do with the Jaffa grew a lot more pressing. Amaterasu gave a direct order to cooperate with the invading forces so the Jaffa had given up their Staff Weapons which opened another can of worms as the British were the only nation that used plasma weapons. Due to their paranoia that their potential enemies on earth would utilize the weapons against them. The Jaffa had given their Staff Weapons to the Japanese not the British and many of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army refused to hand over the Staff Weapons to the British.
As the tensions grew between the British, Japanese and the forces of Amaterasu the need for a solution grew ever more dire and important. The Japanese government managed to hammer out an agreement with every side of the equation to create a comprise that left no one happy. The British gained the plasma weapons of Amaterasu and the agreement that Japan would increase their forces in the Goa'uld War. The Japanese got both Amaterasu herself and her Jaffa. Amaterasu got protection against Heru'ur. The Japanese however forced her to release a statement that said that Amaterasu was a fragment of the Amaterasu who took on the form of a Goa'uld and that the only legitimate Emperor was Hirohito and his descendants.

The initial intervention into the Spanish collapse was the Portuguese movement into Galicia and the joint Anglo-Italian peacekeeping force into Catalonia. The Portuguese intervention was met with little to no resistance and by the time that La Corunna fell to the Portuguese the people of Gallica seemed to be fine with the occupation. The Portuguese gave two offers to the Provisional Government they could either establish themselves as a Portuguese puppet state with Luis II's younger brother becoming King Manuel I of Galicia. The other option was for Galicia to join the Kingdom of Portugal with strong regional autonomy and lingual protection. The provisional government voted to re-establish the Kingdom of Galicia under Manuel I. The new kingdom joined the European Union immediately while the provisional government scheduled the first elections in an independent Galicia.
The joint Anglo-Italian peacekeeping force into Catalonia was launched due to the large socialist faction within the provisional government and the nations of Europe heavily distrusted socialism due to the rampages of the Russian Civil War. The Regia Marina alongside the Imperial Navy detachment in Malta both sailed to Barcelona with a brief stop to occupy the Balearic Islands then they continued onwards to the capital of the new Catalan state. When they reached the city, they found that it was in the midst of a civil war as the anarchists and communists within the Provisional Government launched a coup against the moderates within the government. The peacekeeping forces stormed the beaches and swept through the city until the Tricolore and the Union Jack flew over the Palau del Parlament de Catalunya. The moderates were placed in power with the same restrictions as the British and Germans had enforced in Eastern Europe they must be a constitutional Monarchy in this case under the House of Savoy. Prince Vittorio Emanuele, Count of Turin was crowned as King Vittorio I of the Second Kingdom of Aragon in Barcelona in a monarchy with even less power than Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. The reborn Kingdom was immediately forced to recognize the Italian annexation of the Balearic Islands.

The initial frontlines were focused around the speed that the paramilitaries loyal to whatever government had managed to conquer large parts of Spain. All land north of Cantabrian Mountains had fallen to the Carlists. The remanent that swore allegiance to Alfonso XII held land as far north as Córdoba but then were pushed south to the Gibraltar border. The Republicans held the remainder and were in the midst of collapse many of the radical leftists that had escaped Catalonia had fled into the Republic and the various groups acted as either allied paramilitaries or active hindrances. The Republic was the first to launch an organized offensive with Operation Victoria aiming to throw Alfonso XII into the sea.
Most expected Operation Victoria to fail or only push the monarchists back instead of throwing them off the continent entirely. Then again the monarchists were collapsing in on themselves as many of the forces that swore allegiance to Alfonso XII were to busy ensuring their own power to bother leading an effective defence. The Republicans managed to pierce the line in several regions and drove towards Seville. The monarchists panicked Alfonso XII and General Miguel Primo de Rivera both fled to the Canary Islands to establish the Provisional Royal Government for the Reclamation of the Spanish Homeland. The sight of their leaders abandoning them led to the soldiers that could not flee just surrendering and Seville fell on the 15th of August 1932 to the Second Spanish Republic. The forces that had contributed to Operation Victoria immediately were pivoted north to hold against the Carlist offensive to coincide with the arrival of Alphonse Charles I, in Bilbao. The Spanish Collapse was entrenched in the world.
