Oh Brazil, you'll never into South American domination at this rate.
Ah, I have a few surprises for both parties at the end of this timeline. It will not involve nukes, however.
Oh Brazil, you'll never into South American domination at this rate.
But it will involve Britain screwing everybody over...just like OTL...
More or less. Then the perfidious Albion's meddling in Latin America is going to blow up on their faces. Spectacularly.
Oh... Did you mean North Americans, Spaniards against Britons? whoa...!
I like this. I have just broken the suscribe button.
Close, but no cigar. It will be seen in its due time.
Wait... How did you broke it?
Metaphorically of course.
I like your, causal, snarky writing style, like this is written by a TTL high school who doesn't want to.
I still wonder why I decided to use this style of writing. But insofar, I don't regret it.
Maybe because you felt that Mexican, no, Latin American history needs to be written like that to get more people interested into the facts Ok, or the alt-facts. And also, for you to enjoy doing this awesome timeline of yours.
You do have a valid point over there. Us Mexicans (don't know if the situation is the same over there on Colombia) treat history as a series of pseudo-religious facts given by the SEP (the secretariat that deals with education on a nationwide basis) that are not meant to be touched after they were thrown at us, and to be revered as a dogma. There are historians that try to change that paradigm, but given that a very small amount of people read in this country (It's a complicated socio-economic issue), it's a bit hard to pull off.
But alas, I apologize for not posting this earlier. I'm trying to find good books on the history of Colombia and Venezuela, but I have found none insofar (that, or my google-fu is defective). -snip-
Good lord! I forgot to put in the regional map!This is great. Can you make a map?
Well, the Braganca's endure. It would be cool if that Dynasty survives in Brazil even if it falls in Portugal. Gives a new layer to the Braganca's fleeing in the first place.
Love Brazil's referendum gamle failing.
Well... while doing the USofC timeline, it was very difficult to find at least coherent information about some costumes, daily Colombian life and culture. Maybe you can find more at http://www.banrepcultural.org/blaavirtual/indice, but there is more information about the half of the XX Century than about the end of the XIX Century (Maybe because of the Thousand Days' War and the BSOD that everyone had when it ended).
Now, about history... the Education Ministry still uses the History of Henao-Arrubla (Historians from the early XX Century). Even when this is a fairly heated subject (as this article can attest: http://www.banrepcultural.org/blaavirtual/revistas/credencial/julio1999/115jesus.htm), History in Latin America should be re-read and re-evaluated for these new times.
BTW, good update
Well, Bolivia was part of the Peru-Bolivia Confederation at the time, so its not entirely impossible that such a state would stick together.Writer's block seems to be a "not-so-serious" disease between us...
BTW, It is me or Bolivia is going to disappear?
Well, I'm here again, and the reason why I was in such a long hiatus is the following:
I moved out of my parents' house after considering that I had fallen onto a period of stagnation in my life, in which I just felt that my life was going nowhere. So, I decided to move out and went off to live with two of my best friends (which I consider as my sworn brothers), try different horizons, and see what this new period in my life brings to me. Thus, I have been quite busy during these weeks.
Also, I have been dealing with some serious writer's block, with multiple ideas that are too scattered to complete a full chapter.
But anyway, here's a map of the world during 1828. If there's any vectorised version of the world map used on this forum that I could use, it would be awesome. Anyway:
