I wasn't expect that by this time Castile would be in trouble but at least while they are entertained, they don't mess with me.
I thought I'd help them, but then I saw that they were doing fine in Africa ...
Is that Algiers occupying some of those Castilian provinces?! 
Although, it looks like Castile should wrap up the conquest of Granada by warscore this time around.
The Iberian Union Wedding didn't fire did it? Otherwise, it might be interesting to see PU Castile and Aragon, or even Spain down the road, come into conflict with you...

No, no, no, no, no, no, and no.
Long live Queen Isabela and King Fernand....
Let' them be apart, i'll do everything to keep them apart.
Colonization
Gabriel Andrade continues is killing in Africa; wipe out 6.000 natives in Ivory Coast.
Portugal was losing money, and the best way to deal with that in the King’s mind was with a War.
In November 1503, Afonso VI claims Cayor, and in April next year, he declares war on Mali without the support of Aragon.
3 Mali Barques were sunk.
Portugal were losing -7,72 ducats witch month.
One loan of 64 ducats was taken and war taxes were raised but still, the income was not enough, losing -3,90 ducats.
In Gabu, the first battle is won. 11.000 Mali Soldiers are killed.
Stability is affected wend the King support a Philosopher.
The King, Cristian, it was a big defender of innovation.
After 10 years and 6 months Castile finaly makes peace with Algiers, taking Granada, Tlemcen and Oran.
Portuguese nobles believe that Granada should be theres.
The King, dismiss them. He would not rise is hand against a Cristian Kingdom.
With the stability of the Kingdom just above average (+1), Garcia da Gama, a man that could help bring stability (-10% costs) was employed.
9 battles later and 1.193 Portuguese soldiers lost against 36.000 of Mali troops, 3 sieges were completed. Cayor (03-01-1505), Gabu (18-08-1505) and Futa Jallon (20-03-1506).
All was going well, but Fraticelli Heretics from Castile, after taking 2 provinces there, arrive at the Portugal province of Beira.
Wolof (29-05-1506) and Bure (04-07-1506) fell into Portuguese hands and Gold Coast becomes a Town, with the immediately construction of a fort.
Portugal trade power in Ivory Coast were about 26% and the Monopoly company, that was formed, paid 362,83 ducats for this monopoly.
That was a blessing, since Portugal had only 53 ducats; were losing money and had a debt.
Dinis Machado, took 10.000 men and returns to Portugal to face the Fraticelli Heretics in Beira.
The Fraticelli aren’t the Mali warriors. Well defending Beira, behind the river.
Dinis lost around 5.000 men and the Rebels only 2.000.
Hard day to Portugal, in Mali, Bure was lost.
In November, Wasuju (27-11-1506) were conquered and the news of the death of King Alfonso XII of Castile arrived.
With the fall of Bambuk (08-12-1506) and with Gabriel Andrade, that stayed in charge of the Mali war, winning battles, not as bloodily as Dinis, the time to end war had arrived.
With 7 provinces conquer, and with home problems, the King decided to put an end the War.
The King demand all their money (42 ducats), that would never paid the war expenses.
The coast line, Cayor and Gabu were annexed. 1 province was Songhai and Jolof become a sovereign state.
Military and Diplomatic Technology were advance
Administrative 7
Diplomatic 7
Military 9
Portugal is the most modern in Military Technologies.
Rio Grande and Ceara, in the north of Brazil, started to be colonizing by the motherland.
The Fraticelli Heretics in Beira won the siege (306 days)
8 days after the fall of Beira, and still without the full army at home, Agaron asked Portugal to help them in the Aragonese Conquest of Andalucia against Castile (allied to Austria)
The decision was not lightly.
Castile was allied in three wars, two started by Portugal, another by them, that Portugal abandoned 13 years after (the war took 31 years).
Besides this, Castile trusts Portugal.
On the other hand, the Portuguese nobles want war with Castile and Aragon was the latest active ally (war against Morocco).
As far as D. Afonso VI knew, Aragon had 18.000 soldiers and 17 vessels. Castile had only 3.000 man (as far as he knew) and 15 vessels.
Castile is a powerhouse in the rough (rough diamond). Or Portugal let them “breathe, grow” and stay with them… or support Aragon to keep the Iberia Peninsula balance.

Castile War
War it is.
The army, who had just come out of Mali war, and still had the Rebels to deal, were ready, but the navy…
Even so, Castile lost five Barques, and Portugal one.
The King that was ill even before the war, died one month after the war started, at the age of 57, the King dies in his sleep.
Some say that he was murder. At least it was suspicious, since there where much division between those who wanted war with Castile and those who think that Portugal should stay out of the war between allies.
Some even say that the King didn’t decide to go to War, but a small “coupe” happen and war was declare without is knowledge.
Some of those nobles, who disagreed with the course of events, support D. Rafael Ferreira Martins that rally 5 regiments in Madeira with the intention claiming the throne.
Regency was assumed by Afonso’s brother until D. João completed the right age to rule (he was 14 at the time).
Not all was “against” the Kingdom of Portugal.
The troops that depart from Mali with Lisbon as destination, carrying 9.000 troops were intercepted by Portuguese vessel with orders to disembark in Madeira and settle the pretender matters.
In the motherland, Dinis Machado that had come early with some troops attacked 2.000 Castile troops in Salamanca.
Nearly 900 men lost their lives on both sides.
Taking advantage of the crisis, Fezian nationalists rise in Ceuta. 12 Regiments.
The timing could not be worse.
1.000 Castile troops died in Badajoz and the Pretenders in Madeira are killed.
In Gibraltar, roughly 8.000 Portuguese fought against 3.500 Castilians and were reinforced by 4 regiments, but even so, they lost.

The fight was hard and until the end no one knew who could win.
5.000 men died from each side (more or less) but the Portuguese won.
Jolof, the country that Portugal release from Mali, seeing the troubling events offers an alliance that is accepted.
Itamara Town was formed.
2 Castile Barques were sunk in the Straits of Gibraltar. 4 Heavy ships and 4 transports tried to help them, but the join force of 16 Portuguese vessels and 8 from Aragon, sunk them all.

Peace with Castile
Never the less, Aragon was not to upset, they still had Granada, Navarra, Argin (Africa) and Trarza (Africa).
After peace, and after all African Mali provinces were core, it was time to do the same to Galicia.
To improve the capability of train men, 3 armoires were constructing in Lisboa, Porto and Coimbra.

Nice war against Castile. And with Aragon sitting decently well on the eastern shore as well, it looks like Spain won't be forming anytime soon? Although it seems like you might be having some rebel problems in Africa...those provinces are not very profitable anyway...
Yet, I sense another large war with Castile brewing. Just look at all the provinces of yours they desire!
