  1. Substantial mestizo population in British America?

    Indeed, like I said, the difference of a settler and an adventurer is also an important factor. In Latin America, even if the adventurers were the majority of the Europeans there was also a strong settlement feeling in colonial times (see, v.g., the Órfãs del Rei). However, these Spanish and...

  2. Substantial mestizo population in British America?

    Still, if you see my last posts, I didn't even start to talk about Brazil or the Caribbean, where the Africans was dominant. In a phrase I was specific about countries like Colombia and Venezula, where the African influence is limited to the coast that isn't as populated as the Cordillera; and...

    I wonder if all these great conqueror are also seen as heros by the people they defeated... :p

  5. Substantial mestizo population in British America?

    There's no historical evidence of an Amazonian civilization, it's only archeological evidence and The Mississipi isn't exactly in Latin America. Still, it's clear there was no major Pre-columbian population in countries like Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, etc. and they do have a considerable...

  6. How come white settlement in Angola and Mozambique?

    Interesting. Where did you found these numbers? This includes the African natives that fleed the Civil War and the Communist regime?

  7. Substantial mestizo population in British America?

    Is a substancial indian population that important? The only parts massivily inhabited in Pre-columbian Latin America were OTL's Central Mexico and Andean parts of Peru and Bolivia. Despite that, every country in Hispanophone America (Argentina being the only exception) have an evident majority...

  8. Substantial mestizo population in British America?

    Mixed-race people represented link between the Native Indians and African Slaves. Protestant refugees (Pilgrims) didn't care about them. They didn't care to make a large and instantaneous profit as adventurers (like the Spanish in Latin America), they were there to build prosperity continuously...

  9. How come white settlement in Angola and Mozambique?

    How much of them actually went back to Portugal? Like the White Russians after the 1917 Reolution, I don't think the Portuguese Africans would be thrilled about getting back to a "Socialist" Regime and I'd guess that most of retornados to Portugal would only be the people that didn't have the...

    Wait until the end of winter to invade Canada would be a start...

  11. Substantial mestizo population in British America?

    No Protestant Morality.

  12. How come white settlement in Angola and Mozambique?

    The whites never made 26% of the Angolan population. On the 1950 census there were a total of ~4 million inhabitants and ~1,000 whites; On the 1960 census, ~4.8 million inhabitants and ~170,000 whites and on the 1970 census I said in my other post. As I said, they were colonizers, not immigrants.

  13. How come white settlement in Angola and Mozambique?

    If Malaria and Yellow Fever were the sole problem about Africa it'd be easy. Until the mid 1800's almost all US had Malaria and Yellow Fever outbreaks and it didn't stop Northern Europeans immigrants to come. If I'm not wrong, even Lincoln had Malaria more than once. As for Portuguese Africa...

  14. What would US Quebec look like?

    Yes, this Louisiana wouldn't be able to survive on its own, that's why it'll probably seek British backup. I would'nt go as far saying it'll want to join the Empire though. It'll be like how in OTL the British backed Uruguay independence to stop Argentina or Brazil to control the Rio de la...

  15. What would US Quebec look like?

    Sketch of TL: After the Revolution some of the Loyalists go back to Britain, Bermuda or the British Antilles but most of them go west as the Spanish offer them lands in Louisiana (What actually happenned in a smaller scale, see New_Madrid, Missouri). As the Latin American Wars of Independence...

  16. What would US Quebec look like?

    A cool and plausible scenario: The loyalists would run to the west as some of the natural migration to the west will flow north, Canada. This would change the American view of the West and, probably, the Manifest Destiny.

  17. AHC: Romania Wank

    With a POD in the early 1800's we have to consider: 1) the size and the autonomy of the Romanian Principalities in relation to today's Romania; 2) The sparse distribution of Romanians outside the Principalities (IIRC Romanians were a small plurality between Magyars and Germans in...

  18. Who else could get Zaire besides Belgium?

    The Portuguese see the Kingdom of Kongo as their vassal since the 16th century. It's just a matter of time to they get strong enough and absorb it.

  19. What would US Quebec look like?

    Well, I said probably, but I admit I went too far. Mea culpa. I should have said that the Erie Canal will probably be built later. Its construction finished in 1825 and it costed an enormous amount of money for the time, about $7 million (for comparison, the Louisiana Purchase costed $11...

  20. What would US Quebec look like?

    Australian Draka! St. Lawrence river is the most logical "way out" for most of the Great Lakes area. Erie Canal viability could be questioned and even be butterflied. What would eventually diverge some of the migration flow to New York area.
