HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN DOMINIONS

In the late years of the American Revolutionary War, a Southern Tory named Anthony Cellans formed a band of guerillas to support the British. Their efforts had few effects upon the actually war apart from the deaths of over 50 revolutionary-leaning southerners. But they provided a rallying point for Southern Tories. The group was never captured, and eventually expanded to over 200 men before the end of the war. After the Treaty of Paris, a simmering Loyalist sentiment still existed in the South. The band and their supporters, about 1,000 people, moved up into the Appalachians and menaced "Americans" for the next 30 years.

The simmering loyalties of the South became evident at the Constitutional Convention in 1789, in which the Southern delegates refused to replace the Articles of Confederation. The Continental Congress was kept, but the Articles were changed to allow for a national military.

Over the next 10 years, the American military was constructed, its navy defeating the pirates of Tripoli in 1796, providing a rare opportunity for the American to celebrate in unity. But the split between north and south was becoming more apparent and helped spread abolitionist sentiment far faster than in our timeline. All of New England was free by 1798, and New York followed in 1800. A Massachussets law was passed in 1803 banning slave catchers, leading to a deadlock in the Continental Congress and rising anti-United States sentiment in the South. The 1810 Treaty of New Orleans, leading to America's entry into the Napeoleonic Wars and giving America the Louisiana Territory, was treated with extreme dislike in the south. Militias were founded to fight the Continental Army, and in late 1810, Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas all seceded from the Confederation.

The short war that followed was an absolute defeat for the North. With the support of British troops, they were forced to a humiliating peace, with the South, including Maryland and Delaware, transfered to the control of the newly-founded Dominion of Virginia, and Louisinia incorporated as the Dominion of Louisiana. The end of the Napeoleonic wars saw Florida added to the British Empire under the name of the Dominion of Florida. To the south, the Republic of New Spain was founded, fell, and was replaced by the Mexican Confederation, all in one decade.

Over the next 40 years, the Dominions slowly built up their industry, mainly concentrated in the Chesapeak region, but some was built in New Orleans and St. Louis. The region still depended heavily on slaves, cotton and the plantations, but the nation was industrializing. Virginia-built Gunboats along the Mississipi and Ohio rivers patrolled the border to rising industrial power of the American Confederation.

The Confederate intervention in the second French Revolution in 1857 kicked off a new war in North America. Confederate troops crossed the Ohio and took the capital of Richmond, and Canadian troops had to battle against both Confedertes and the rising Quebecois nationalists. With the entry of Mexico into the war on the Confederate side and the French invasion of Britain, diverting British troops back to Britain, the Dominions' fate was sealed. In the 1865 Treaty of Munich, the Dominion of Canada was divided into the new Republic du Quebec and the new Confederation state of Jefferson, Louisana gave up its claims to Tejas and the provinces of Delaware, Kentucky, and parts of northern Maryland and Virginia were given to the Union. Various British Carribean possesions were transfered to French control, and the Colony of Aoeteroa became Nouvelle Zealande.

Despite the humiliating peace, British power remained. The Dominions rebuilt, and Wellington(formerly Savannah), Georgia emerged as the new defining city of British North America, with large steelworks appearing almost overnight. Realizing the problems which lead to defeat in the Second French War, the Dominions unified their miltiaries under the British American Command. A railroad from Victoria in the Colony of Oregon to St. Louis was on the drawing board, and the project created a boom in the industry of British North America. In 1870, the first transcontinental train arrived in Victoria.

The 1872 gold rush in Calfornia pushed North America to the brink of war yet again. The Mexican Confederation opposed the mass immigration of Confederates and Dominioners to California, and the Confederates fought for the right to build a railroad through Dominion territory. A group of Virginian miners in California decided to take matters into their own hands, declaring themselves independent from the Mexican government. A regiment of Mexican soldiers attacked the Virginia miners at the Russian River goldfields in Alta California, and were repulsed. With a victory under their belt attracted more miners, Dominion, Confederate, or otherwise, and seized the city of San Francisco, declaring a Republic of California at the City Hall on April 6, 1873.

Popular sentiment in both the Dominions and the Confederation was heavily tilted in favour of the miners, but the leaders of both sides disliked the idea of the new-found Republic falling into the other's sphere of influence. The Confederate election loomed, and the pro-war Whigs were bound to throw Confederate power behind the rebels. The Virginian minister to the Confederation was determined to keep the Confederates out of the Mexico, and met with President Houston on July 10th. What was discussed in the meeting was never revealed, but within hours, Britain and the American Confederation had both recognized the Republic of California. Neither nation intervened publicly, but the Californian rebels became better armed over the next few months. In 1874, the Mexican goverment acceded to the Californian's demands, and a new, independent player was established in North American politics.

Over the next 30 years, North America was fairly peaceful. The various Central America states slowly condensed into the Confederation of New Spain, though the Isthmus of Panama was annexed into the Colony of British Central America. The Colony of Oregon became the Dominion of Oregon, and slavery was slowly phased out.

In 1905, California signed a mutual defense agreement with the American Confederation. This move was heavily opposed by the British and the Germans, who had already formed a mutual defense agreement. Still, there was little they could do to interfere in the process.

Two years later, the Italian ambassador to France was killed by a lone gunman. In a few weeks, Austria and France were at war. A twisted series of alliances drew Germany, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, Italy and Japan together against France, Russia, Austria, Spain and the American Confederation... therefore drawing California into the war. Mexican rebels backed by the French erupted in the south, and Dominion troops moved to support the Mexican goverment. A push by Germany into France quickly turned into a slow stalemate. Similar situations occured in the east. Trench warfare entered its most brutal phase.

In North America, trench lines settled through Kentucky and Maryland. One of the largest battlefields was on the site of the former capital of the American Confederation... an almost forgotten town called Washington. In the west, however, it was a different sight. Skirmish after skirmish occured in Mexico, and the Californians often had the advantage, due to their use of trucks, airships, and cars for mobile warfare tactics. Over the next 5 years, minor skirmishes in the west and long trench warfare in the east were continuous. The Mexican rebels took Mexico City, then lost it, then retook it. The continent was a mess. In Europe, the situation was similar, though airships were used more.

In 1910, the British prepared an ambitious plan to invade France across the channel. Without France, most of the European Alliance would throw in the towel. The plan called for "paratroopers" to launch out of airships and take the French coastal defense by surprise. In August of that year, the plan went ahead. It succeeded. French troops were caught completely by suprise by the British air superiority. British troops came behind the French trench lines, and Paris fell. With the surrender of France, Spain, Italy and Russia came to the treaty table. Britain reclaimed its Caribbean possesions and the colony of Nouvelle Zealande, as well as dividing France and Spain's African possesions with Germany, and their Asian possesions with Japan.

The war in North America dragged on for another six months. The Mexican rebels established the Union of Mexico, driving the remaining Mexican Confederation troops into Louisiana. But with the arrival of British troops on the East Coast, the Confederation and California were ready to negotiate. The Confederation gave up Kentuck, Maryland, Delaware, and Transylvania, and California gave up a thin strip of land along the California-Oregon border, as well as repatriations.

In the post-war years, the Confederation's old parties slowly gave way to the Socialist Party, which promised a better deal for the workers of America, who suffered the post-war depression badly. Californian politics became noticably anti-Mexican, with Spainish being removed as an official language. But British North America, and the British Empire in general, prospered. Britain was an unsinkable superpower with none on its level. Japan and Germany were second-tier powers, and perhaps combined equaled Britain, but the sun truly shined on the British Empire. The warlords of Southern China slowly came under British power, and Indian Ocean was a British lake. In the Dominions, the economy prospered. Reforms allowed all citizens of the Dominions to vote in elections for Parliament. It was possible to travel around the entire world without setting foot outside of British territory.

In 1939, the three southern Dominions combined produced more, and had a large population, than Britain herself.

Dominion of Louisiana
Present Goverment: Governor-General David Hilton, Prime Minister James Alveston(Conservative Party)
Capitial: New Orleans
Population(isot region only): 12 million

The Dominion of Louisiana is generally considered the most conservative of the dominions. It was the last to phase out slavery, and the majority of its population is still rural. However, it is also the only North American nation to have honored treaties with the American Indians for over a century.

New Orleans is a cosmopolitan city, where French can still be heard (most French-speaking residents of Lousiana actually descend from loyal Quebecois) and Spanish is also common. Often called the Venice of America, some of its quaters do indeed extrude into the mouth of the Missouri.

St. Louis is the motor capital of British North America. Imperial Motors, Ryan Motors and Alton Motormobiles all have their factories in St. Louis. St. Louis is also the fleet base of the Royal North American Air Navy, and airships are constructed out in the big hanger in Charleston.

Dominion of Florida
Present Goverment: Governor-General Henry Arkady, Prime Minister Micheal Harper(Liberal Party)
Capitial: Melbourne
Population(isot region only): 1.2 million

Florida, the "little sister" of British North America, is famous for its jungles and its massive citrus plantations. The major industrial base is in Melbourne(Miami), and is primarily devoted to shipbuilding.

Melbourne is a fairly new city, with most of its buildings having been built in the past 30 years. This means that many of its buildings are quite ugly square boxes or smoke-belching factories, due to the Functionalist movement in architecture of the past few years. It's also the fleetbase for the Atlantic Command of the Royal North American Navy.

Dominion of Virginia
Present Goverment: Governor-General Alfred N. Eweman, Prime Minister John Hitchson
Capitial: Richmond
Population(isot region only): 32 million

The Dominion of Virginia is the largest and most industrialized of British North America. Most Virginians work in cities, and large apartment complexes dot the landscape.

Richmond is a city scarred by war. Repeatedly bombed by the Confederation in the Global War, it is a shell of its former self. Rebuilding has occured, but many of its old residents have moved to Wellington, or Charleston.

Wellington is the largest city in British North America, and the second largest after New York in North America. Nicknamed "London without the Queen", its skyline is dominated by skyscrapers that have gone up in the past few years. It also has one of the best public transport systems in the world, intergretated into the city as it grew: a marvelous tram and trolley system that can get you to any place in the city. Once the trams were powered by steam, but now they are powered by electricity.

Charleston may not be the oldest city in North America, but it looks that way. Its old Victorian architecture and cobblestone streets contrast with the motorcars driven by businessmen and dockworkers. Still, the docks are definitely modern, and have recently completed the largest battleship ever built: the HMNAS Victoria.

Economic Developement: Basically on par (on a per capita basis) with 1950 America, but with 1930's technology.

Technology: On par with OTL, but with more airships.

Military:
About 700,000 professionals, including British ships in the ISOTed region. 300,000 in the army, 250,000 in the navy and 50,000 in the air navy.
Also 1.5 million men in the Army Reserves, and .5 million in the Naval Reserve.

History After the War of 1812 the UK saw the need for a larger presence in the New world. The crown also despratly wanted the American colonies back in their hand. Plans were made for a 3-fron invasion: From Canada, the Atlantic, and the Carribean. Unfortunantly the UK did not have much territory in the UK. The Crown offerd fair sums of money to the French, Danish, Germans, Spanish, and the Dutch for their possetions. All but Spain took the moneyand turn over control. The UK threatend to take the islands by force, and did just that, sparking the Carribean War of 1815 (Which the US stayed out of). THis culminated in the Taking of Cuba, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico (They retained their spanish names as the king at the time liked the exotic names). Although the Brits never went through with their plan to retake America, the West Indies did come in handy economically, as a major center of trade. IN WWI the B.W.I saw limited action.

Military 100,000 British Troops and the West (W)Indies Wing (5 Fighter Squadrons, 3 Bomber, 1 Support) and the Carribean Fleet (25 Destroyers, 35 Frigates, 10 Aircraft carriers, and 25 Submarines.)

Unione della Ovest Repubblica
(Union of West Republics, if the translator is to be believed)
Capital: Nova Veneto (On the Yucatan Coast)
Languages: Mayan and Italian
History:
The history of the Unione begins back in the days of the merchant Columbus. He decided to bypass the overland trade route to Asia by crossing the great Atlantic ocean, and inadvertantly discovered the wealthy, golden Aztec empire. He established the trading post that eventually grew into modern Nova Veneto. Later Italian settlements began to intermix with the Mayans, and invigorated their dying culture. Eventually, the Americas was settled by other nations, though the Italians took great pains to ensure the Aztec's independence, as the Aztexs had given many special trading rights to the Italians. More city-states grew up around the Yucatan Peninsula and the rest of Southern Central America. The era of peace ended in 1734, when the Spanish Viceroyalty of Nueva Leon, in South America, decided to invade and conquer the Aztec Empire. The city-states of Central America, both Mayan and Italian, formed the Union of the West, which later became the Union of the Western Republic. With the advent of new technology, the region has slowly modernized, however, divisons between the Italian Ovestians and the Mayan Ovestians have grown as of recent times.
Present Government
The state is organized into three levels:
The Union Government, whose main responsibiliy is defense, and taxation to keep up the army.
The Cultural Divisons, of which there are two:
The Mayapaj Osete Repebika Region, which handles the affairs of the modern Mayan City-states, and the
Regione Ad ovest Italiana, which has a similair responsibility in the Italian city-states.
Finally, the last level are the city-states themselves.

Current head of the Union Government is Napoleone Allouete.
Economic Development
The economy of the Unione is a modern, industrial system. Factories exist in many of the city-states, though there are some pollution-controls. Farther inland, there is more farming and traditional ways of life. Service and Tourism are also important.
Military Development
The organized army consists of about 150,000 military men, who are ready to be called up at any time. Most other able-bodied men are members of the Army Reserve, which may be called up after a weeks notice. The Marines (Navy) of the Unione consists of about 25,000 men, and consists of several armed crusiers, and one large ship, the Veneto which can be considered a battleship.

Major Economic Question ?Is there a Panama Canal in this TL?

[WngMasterD]

Canada
Government: Parliamentary Democracy
[Head of Government] Prime Minister: Dale Johnson
Econ: Agricultural Products, Petroleum and natural gas, Wood, fish, Aluminum
Military: 100,000-person army. 20 Destroyers and 20 cruisers. 20 Costal patrol craft, 10 battleships, and 50 patrol craft. 5 Air Wings (3 Fighter, 2 Bomber, one support)
History: After the Wars of 1812 and 1818, the Canadian felt like the Crown was more concerned of warring against the Americas than actually overseeing what they did have. After the war of 1820 (10,000 Canadian deaths) Canada demanded that the British withdraw all non-Canadian troops. The Army did not comply and there was a small uprising (the burning of a port). The US pledged support to the Canadians, and the Brits instantly withdrew from Canada (fearing they would loose a joint US Canada war). Canada declared total independence from the UK. UK-Canada Relations have been very tense for the past 150 years.
Canada has good relations with the US, but not with France, as the French colonists attempted their own succession, and the newly formed government ordered the display of French culture illegal. This effectively wiped out the French culture in Canada. Canada has One house of parliament that is elected based on population.

British Canada and Newfoundland
Government: Commonwealth Realm / Parliamentary Democracy
[Head Of State] King George VI [Represented by] Governor General Steven Upland
[Head of Government] Prime Minister Travis Leslie
Econ: Agricultural Products, Petroleum and natural gas, Wood, fish, Aluminum
Military: 5000 man army; 5 Coastal Defense craft, 10 Cruisers; 50 patrol craft; Air Force consisting of 50 Hot Air Blimps for patrol purposes. Small (75 plane) fighter regiment
History: The 1820 declaration of separation Applied to Canada, but not the separate realm of Newfoundland. After the separation, the Crown continued to hold this precious colony as its last in North America. Every so often a skirmish between Canadian forces and British forces would occur. In 1910 the crown let British Canada become independent. After an attempted Canadian Annexation in 1918 (and a 6 month war), British Canada reverted back to the crown. British Canada regained its independence in 1930
British Canada has a bicameral, non-partisan legislature. It is divided into Newfoundland and British Canada (one house for each)

Arctic Islands Commonwealth (AKA Baffin Island Commonwealth)
Government: Direct Democracy
[Head of Government] Governor Paul Westan
Econ: Fishing
Military: Militia consisting of all able body citizens wiling to bear arms
History: The Arctic Islands Commonwealth was formed in the Northern Canadian islands by a group of stranded fisherman. They found they liked it better up in the uninhabited north. The Islands declared independence in 1920, Canada did not protest. The AIC has a population of 10000 and has a small area in Ontario for wintering over. The AIC has two houses: The Council of commissioners that proposes laws, and the National assembly (Which is every 16+ person in the nation), which passes them.

Hell
Government: Theocracy
[Head of Government]: Father Douglass McArnold
Econ: Fishing and Mining
Military: 500-man militia with 10 patrol boats
History: Founded by a group of Monks in the 1500's. In the 1700's fisherman set foot on the island to find the monks, who had been migrating form Scotland for the past 200 years. Thus the dual nature of the land was set; a delicate balance between the religious, and the fishers, miners, and those who support the economy. Although its strategic position, no one has dared take it because of the fear of divine wrath. To this day the Monks run the land, based on church law.
NOTE: Named as such because Viking religious lore claims that the underworld is extremely cold and windy, it helps the monks remember the state of sin that they are in

[Tetsu]

Name: The Aztec Empire
Head of State: Emperor Zipactonal III
Population: (after ISOT) 97,000,000 (approx.)
History: The Aztec Empire was forged in blood. After the founding of their capital of Tenochtitlan in the marshes of Lake Texcoco in 1325, the Aztecs quickly rose to power in Mesoamerica, holding all others under their thumb. Their nation teetered on the instability of a tribute empire until the Chinese explorer Zheng He landed at the port city of Acapulco in 1407. The Chinese opened up the Aztecs' eyes to the world, and the two empires became allies and traded closely for the next 100 years.

When Hernan Cortez and the Spanish engaged the Aztec Empire on their own ground in 1521, the Aztecs drove his troops into the dirt. Due to Chinese trade for the last century, the Aztecs were a fully modern state by 1530, complete with cavalry and a small navy. After that short, victorious war, though, a new cult was brewing in the empire, Quetzalcoatlism. This was a peaceful religion, unlike the usual barbaric, bloody religion practices until the Chinese arrival. The new religion was heavily influenced by Confucianism and Buddhism, and while it was polytheistic, the god Quetzalcoatl was held in highest regard. The diety demanded only flowers for sacrifice, and the religion preached peace and unity with nature. In 1531, a new Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, ascended to the throne. He had been educated by Chinese scholars and was heavily influenced by the cult of Quetzalcoatlism. His first act as emperor was to ban human sacrifice and institute Quetzalcoatlism as the state religion. After a small rebellion by the former High Priests, the religion became dominant.

The Aztec Empire steadily grew in power as time went on. It is one of the great power of it's world, and it is in alliance with Ming China to this day. Azteca became a true world power after the Great War in 1912, in which the Grand Alliance of the French Empire, the Republic of Venice, Ming China, the Ottoman Empire, and Holland engaged the alliance of Germany, Spain, Russia, and the Republic of Louisiana. The Aztec Empire, of course, sided with China and engaged the Louisian Republic.
Tensions have risen around Azteca's world since the Grand Alliance won the Great War. Spain, Germany, and Louisiana are ruled by extremist regimes that are chafing for revenge. In 1939, as the world prepares for war, the Aztec Empire lies in wait.

Major Economic Question ?Is there a Panama Canal in this TL?
Hm, I guess so.. though the powerful State of Remua (Largest city state in the Union, too big to just be a city-state) controlls it, and taxes ships going through it heavily...

And I realized that not all states will join the Union, so it might be good to have some tiny countries in there...

The Principality of Hingham ((Yes, I'm using the name of my OTL hometown, but it is named after a place in England...))
Population: 120,000
Location: Around Belize City
History:
Founded by the British, hoping to take advantage of the wealthy Aztec trade. In 1923, Hingham was made an independent Principality under a minor branch of the House of Brunswick-Luneberg(Hanover).
Present Government:
Constitutional Monarchy in the British system under Prince George I (House of Brunswick-Luneberg)
Economic and Military Development
The Principality is, similair to San Marino in OTL, economically and militarily dependent on the Union, though it has a small navy of it's own, as well as a military zepplin, though use of those has fallen out rapidly since the disastrous Imperial Air Force Ship Oldenburg exploded in 1932.
Flag:
A Green flag with a red stripe diagonally across, and a planet with a black stripe diagonally going through the middle, with a crown above it, and a scroll saying "Hingham" under it.

The Republic of Vonotia
Population: 29,000
Location: As far north as the zone allows, while on the West Coast.
History:
Founded in 1689, and decided not to join the union, as it had little threat from Nuevo Leon. Remains in peace.
Government:
A city-state with a council of elected mayors, four from the four branches of the city. There is a rotating presidency, which changes every two years.
Current President: Marcos Alouette ((Yes, he's a relative of the Union's Napoleone))
Economic Development:
Vonotia depends on trade with the Eastern nations to survive, such as Japan and Manchu China. It's port is one of the busiest ports in the world.
Military Development:
A ceremonial navy, has a treaty with the Union for it's defense.
Flag:
A red flag, with one white star surrounded by branches.

Pictures of the flags should be coming soon.

Wingmaster- I assume that is a different war of 1812?

This is the same TL as in SME.
Here the world is still pretty messed up and recovering from the great war, the commonwealth isn't the almost total world government it will become with Indiana just having joined in 1938 and the kingdoms being founder members.

Name: The Kingdom of New England
History: New England was one of the first areas to attract large scale settlement from Britain and in the early 19th century the wish for democracy in the colonies was led from New England.
British North America was granted the status of a British dominion in 1809 with its capital in Boston. After the Indian War and the first reorganization of British North America New England was made a separate dominion with its current day borders.
New England served as the second capital of the commonwealth in 1928.
Economic Development: One of the strongest economies in its world due to being so to begin with and not being damaged directly by the war

Name: The Kingdom of Virginia
History: Virginia was also estabished as a seperate dominion after the Indian War despite the fact that it was largely Viriginia which had caused the war.Virginia is largely seperated into 2 areas- old Virginia west of the missispi and west virginia west of it. In the past there has traditionally been a cold relationship between the two halves due to west Virginia being settled at a different time and a different way to E.Virginia. There has been talk of splitting the two however that is not important as only the far north of E Virginia has been transported :p
Economic Development: Its just bits of N.Virginia so mines and farms I'd assume.

Name: The Kingdom of Canada
History: Canada has traditionally been a rather barren and empty part of British North America though it is also the major home of British military presence in the region due to Quebec. Canada was always the hardest hit of the regions of British North America in the British wars with the French and when the Great War was fought this was amplified.
Canada though long being a territory due to its small population was granted dominion status in 1879.
After the Great War it was decided that Quebec and Alaska would be made a part of Canada. Though this process is still ongoing none of the affected areas are transported.
Economic development- mainly a supplier of raw materials to the other English nations however the part which has been transported also happens to be the center of Canada's small industry.

Name: The United Native Tribes of Indiana
History: Indiana was formed in the wake of the Indian war in the mid 19th century. The push of white settlement to the west proved too powerful for the natives to handle even with the support of the British government and full scale war broke out between the settlers and the natives. The war was a uncertain affair after the initial defeat of the Virginian militia which largly consisted of British regular soldiers with Indian aid hunting out the small white settler forces.
After the war it was decided mutally between Britain and the now very westernised natives that the old system was out of date and Indiana was formed as a actual nation. It was not officially under the control of Britain however it was certainly very strongly under their influence. They fought by Britain's side during the great war however decided against joining the commonwealth on its founding unsure about what it would entail. In 1938 they requested to join and were accepted.

Technology wise the world has developed atomic weapons however they are behind in most conventional military matters- their military aircraft are only just being replaced with monoplanes for instance.
They also have quite powerful SMGs however their tanks are light vehicles made for rapid movement (in the mopping up of Russia) rather then combat against similar vehicles.

History: The Dutch captured the Portuguese province of Pernambuco, the best sugar colony in Brazil at the time, in 1630. Almost immediately the Dutch governed their conquests through a political council. But in 1636, reinforced by 2500 men from Portugal, the Portuguese took the initiative. Their conquest of some strategic locations south of the colony that gave the Portuguese the possibility to carry out many raids against Pernambuco that became rather unsafe for the Dutch.

At this time the West Indies Company directorate decided to put a Colonial Governor at the head of the Brazilian colony of New Holland. Johan Maurits, count of Nassau – Siegen was the man selected for this office; this was a good choice.

He demonstrated to be an able administrator and a very keen tactician. He defeated the Portuguese in a series of fast campaigns and secured the existence of his colony. By the end of his campaigns the Dutch controlled half of the then Brazilian provinces.

From the beginning, Johan Maurits described Brazil as a beautiful country and he fell in love with it. He was favorably inclined towards the Portuguese planters (moradores), and tolerated the Roman Catholic priests. He gave the colony a form of representative local government, through the creation of municipal and rural councils.

He developed the country; built streets, bridges and roads in the city of Recife. On the neighboring island of Antonio Vaz he founded a new town called Mauritsstad or Mauricia, where the first astronomic observatory and meteorological station in the Americas were built in two large sites (called Boa Vista and Vrijburg) that included zoological and botanical gardens.

The Dutch subjects in Brazil were divided into two categories: Those employed by the West Indies Company (soldiers, bureaucrats, Calvinist ministers) called "dienaaren" and the others (settlers, merchants, artisans, and tavern keepers) called "vrijburghers" or "vrijluiden". Many of these were ex–soldiers who had married and settled down but there were people who had emigrated from the Netherlands to seek a new life in New Holland. The free–burghers and traders were the economic pillar of the colony, and most of the trade was under their control. But notwithstanding this, the Burgher community in Brazil was too scant for the West Indies Company purposes.

In the colony there was also a flourishing Jewish community of 1450 souls in 1644. The total white civilian population of "vrijburgher" was about 3000.The Dutch control on Brazil was always tenuous, and the West Indies Company began a crash course of forced colonization. Thousands of citizens were offered land and incentives to move to the new colony but still the majority of the colonists were Portuguese moradores with a different religion and language that were always ready to revolt against the "heretics". In October 1642 the province of Maranhão revolted and after one year of fighting the Dutch troops retreated.


In 1640 Portugal revolted against Spain, restored its independence and the Duke of Bragânça was proclaimed King and inmediatly began to prepare themselves to recover their lost colonies. By 1645 the West Indies Company holds only a small part of their original holdings. But in late 1645 a force of over 6,000 men under the command of Hendrick Von Schoppe helped to defeat repeated attempts by the Portuguese authorities to conquer the Dutch colony. By 1654, after 9 years of conflict the treaty of Maurisstad was signed. The continuous existence of the Dutch colony was recognized by the Kingdom of Portugal.

After the treaty both colonies continued their expansion to the interior. Brazilian expansion southward had been preceded by penetration of large sections of the interior. Jesuit missionaries had begun to operate in the Amazon Valley early in the 17th century. Before the middle of the century, parties of Paulistas, the name by which residents of São Paulo were known, had reached the upper course of the Paraná River. Because these expeditions were undertaken principally for the purpose of enslaving the Native Americans, the Paulistas encountered vigorous opposition from the Jesuits. Supported by the Crown in their efforts to protect the Native Americans, the Jesuits finally triumphed. Many Paulistas thereupon became prospectors, and a feverish hunt for mineral wealth ensued. In 1693 rich gold deposits were discovered in the region of present-day Minas Gerais. The resultant gold rush brought tens of thousands of Portuguese colonists to Brazil and more Dutch colonist trying to find their way into the Portuguese colony. This caused the last mayor conflict between the colonies, The 1697 War. The end result was the defeat of the Dutch forces and the demarcation of the borders between the two colonies was properly set. The economic expansion of the viceroyalty was further stimulated by the discovery of diamonds in 1721 and New Holland‘s one by the development of sugar-growing industries.


The Portuguese foreign minister and premier Marquês de Pombal instituted many reforms in Brazil during the reign of Portugal's King Joseph Emanuel. He freed the Native American slaves, encouraged immigration, reduced taxes, eased the royal monopoly in Brazilian foreign commerce, centralized the governmental apparatus, and transferred the seat of government from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro in 1763. Pombal expelled the Jesuits in 1760, because their influence among the Native Americans and growing economic power were resented by many Brazilians.


The Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815) profoundly altered the course of Brazilian and New Holland’s history. The conquest of the Netherlands by Napoleon in 1802 forced the colonial officials to declare their independence from the new Dutch government and accept the protection of the British Empire to ensure their continuous survival. A Republic was declared and they claimed their support to the British cause against Napoleon. Their political stability was ensured insured by British arms and they turned in everything but in name into a British Colony.


In1807 Napoleon invaded Portugal and forced the Royal family into exile. T he Portuguese regent, Prince John, and most of his court embarked from Lisbon shortly before the arrival of the French army and sailed for Brazil. He made Rio de Janeiro the seat of the royal government of Portugal and decreed a series of reforms and improvements for Brazil, among them the removal of restrictions on commerce, the institution of measures beneficial to agriculture and industry, and the creation of schools of higher learning.

Prince John inherited the Portuguese crown as John VI in March 1816. In the five-year period before his recall to Portugal, his regime steadily lost favor among the Brazilians. The royal government was corrupt and inefficient, and republican sentiment, widespread in the country following the French Revolution, had gained considerable momentum when the neighboring Spanish colonies declared their independence. In 1816 King John intervened, occupying Banda Oriental (Uruguay), then under the control of Spanish-American revolutionaries. Banda Oriental was annexed to Brazil in 1821 and renamed Cisplatine Province. Before departing for Portugal in 1821, John VI made his second son, Dom Pedro, regent of Brazil.

Sharp antagonism to the king's Brazilian reforms had developed meanwhile in Portugal; the Cortes, the Portuguese legislature, enacted legislation designed to return Brazil to its former status as a colony. Dom Pedro was ordered to return to Europe. In 1822, responding to the pleas of the indignant Brazilians, Dom Pedro announced his refusal to leave Brazil. He convoked a Constituent Assembly in June, and in September, when dispatches from Portugal disclosed that the Cortes would make no major concessions to Brazilian nationalism, he proclaimed the country's independence. By vote of the upper house of the Constituent Assembly, he became emperor of Brazil in the same year. All Portuguese troops in Brazil had been forced to surrender by the end of 1823.


An autocratic ruler, Pedro I lost much of his popular support during the first year of his reign. Because of dissension within the Constituent Assembly, he dissolved it in 1823 and promulgated a constitution in March 1824. In 1825 Brazil, provoked by Argentina's support of a rebellion in Cisplatine Province, became embroiled in war with that country. In 1827 the Brazilians were decisively defeated, and through British mediation Cisplatine Province won independence as Uruguay. Popular opposition to Pedro I mounted during the next few years. In April 1831 he abdicated in favor of Pedro II, the five-year-old heir apparent.

Regencies ruled Brazil for the following decade, a period of political turbulence marked by frequent provincial revolts and uprisings. Toward the end of the decade a movement to place the young emperor at the head of the government gained popular support, and in July 1840 the Brazilian Parliament proclaimed that Pedro II had attained his majority.

Pedro II proved to be one of the most able monarchs of his time. During his reign, which lasted nearly half a century, the population and economy expanded at unprecedented rates. National production increased by more than 900 percent. A network of railroads was constructed. In the realm of foreign affairs the imperial government was actively hostile to neighboring dictatorial regimes. It supported the successful revolutionary war against the Argentine dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas from 1851 to 1852 and, allied with Argentina and Uruguay, fought a victorious war against Paraguay from 1865 to 1870.

The chief domestic political issue of the Brazilian and New Holland governments was a broad movement for the abolition of slavery. Importation of African slaves was outlawed in 1853 in Brazil and in 1828 in New Holland. An organized campaign for emancipation of the 2.5 million slaves already in Brazil and New Holland was launched a few years later. The abolitionists won their first victory in 1871 in Brazil and in 1869 in New Holland, when the national Parliaments of both nations approved legislation freeing children born of slave mothers. For various reasons, including the sacrifices entailed by the Brazilian nation in the Paraguayan war, a parallel movement for a republic developed at about this time. Liberalism became widespread during the next 15 years. Slaves more than 60 years of age were liberated in 1879 in New Holland and in 1883 in Brazil. In 1882 slaves were emancipated in New Holland and in 1888 all remaining slaves in Brazil were emancipated.

Instituted with compensation for the slave owners, emancipation still alienated the powerful landed interests from the government. Moreover, sections of the Roman Catholic clergy were hostile to certain of Pedro's policies, many leading army officers were secretly disloyal, and large sections of the populace favored a republic. A failed coup de etat was launched in 1891 against King Pedro and reforms were put in place to try to resolve the situation. Separation of church and state and other republican reforms were swiftly decreed. The drafting of a constitution was completed in June 1892. Similar to the Constitution of the United Kingdom, it was adopted in February 1893, and Brazil became a Constitutional Monarchy.

The early 20th century was a difficult time for both the nations of Brazil and New Holland. The falling coffee and sugar prices on the world market severely disrupted the economies of both nations but the outbreak of the First World War and the rising demand for coffee, rubber and sugar gave a needed shot in the arm to both nations’ economies. New Holland joined the war in late 1914 as a favor to their British patrons but their participation was very limited. Brazil adopted a policy of neutrality during the early years of the war but by late 1916 the disruption of their shipping by the Germans forced the Kingdoms hand.

The world wide Depression created political chaos in the nation of Brazil while the New Hollanders were forced to survive from handouts of the United Kingdom. By 1939 the Kingdom of Brazil was under martial law to try to quell the many revolts happening all over the nation; the Republic of New Holland was on the way of recovery thanks to a crash economic plan based in free trade with the other nations of the region and the use of their strategic location to actively help commerce in the area.
