I meant Charles, with Ferdinand becoming puppet Napoleonic king for a while and then losing his position to Joseph Bonaparte.

Would he flee to Mexico City? Even though Havana was more fortified and directly under his rule instead of under an infante?

And what if the colonies retained some sort of economic union with Spain, leading them to establish a mostly autonomous nation, albeit one heavily linked with the metropolis?
