Have Macau have a majority L1 Macanese speaking population.

How likely was a Portuguese takeover of Japan, with a PoD before 1700? Comparing this hypothetical scenario to OTL's British conquest of India, it doesn't seem too impossible to me. Like the Portuguese in Japan, the British were originally interested in commerce with India, before they got...

When King Fernando of Portugal died, there were several claimants to the throne. One was his daughter, Beatriz. But she was married to a foreigner and her mother was extraordinarily unpopular. Another was Pedro I's son, Joao, duque de Valencia de Campos by Pedro's posthumously recognized wife...

A Lusophone[1] World The Portuguese influence in the world stage was much diminished in the 20th century. iOTL Portugal was one of Europe's least developed countries even so it continued to control a vast amount of territory spread over three continents as well as linked culturally and...

I'm planning a TL around the late 1820s, ITTL Pedro (the first of Brazil, fourth of Portugal) died in 1827, but his wife (Maria Leopoldina of Austria) lives on (IOTL she died in 1826) as regent of Brazil. I am focusing my research on the effects on South America, but I want to know your opinion...

The United Empire As dom pedro i of brazil could have unified portugal and brazil in a unified empire with the capital being rio de janeiro as his country made with the united kingdom of portugal and brazil so that this time would be the '' United Empire of Brazil and Portugal

I was inspired to this WI by a single post of @ByzantineCaesar where Pedro, duque of Bragança, former emperor of Brasil (as Pedro I) and King of Portugal (as Pedro IV) is offered the Greek throne. I'm not sure if this is realistic or not, but I think it would be cool to see someone else (who's...

The Portuguese at one point controlled Sri Lanka for a while, then they lost the colony due to Dutch Invasions which was turned into a Dutch Colony, what would happen if Portugal managed to keep the colony from invaders like the Dutch? Would we have a Portuguese speaking island country like...

Why did the Scramble for Africa take so long, why wasn't it earlier? What was the reason that it took so long? What factor need to change for it might to have been earlier? Was the size underestimated and so if it was mapped earlier it might colonised faster? What factors need to change for...

If Spain joined the axis would they attack Portugal? If they attacked Portugal Britain would send troops to defend them meaning they have less troops elsewhere. Depending on when they joined Vichy France would not exist and the whole of France would be divided between Germany, Italy, and Spain...

A concept which I've kicked around for awhile was the idea of an Italy that remains active, but ultimately neutral in WWII, and goes on to establish stronger economic ties to the other authoritarian regimes in Southern Europe. Portugal, for example, had issues with securing its interests, both...

What if the Ethiopian Empire (with help from the Portuguese) managed to win against the Adal Sultanate (and Ottoman Empire)? And how would Ethiopian victory effect the Great Oromo migrations?

Canada is a funny thing, when you think of it. When a colonizer has a colony, or multiple colonies near each other, it seems it always loses all the colonies together, or close to each other. Yet, the British never lost Canada. They lost the Thirteen Colonies, but they kept Canada, and many...

During the Napoleonic wars, When Napoleon invaded Iberia, the Portuguese Royal family fled to Brazil. After the Napoleonic wars ended, and Portugal became independent again, the Royal family actually stayed in Brazil for a few more years, until the Portuguese public wanted them to come back to...

As it says on the tin: Napoléon's stepson Eugène de Beauharnais had two sons of his own, Auguste and Maximilien. Auguste was at one point in the 1830 Revolution considered for king of the Belgians, and although this didn't happen, four years later, he married the young queen of Portugal, D...

What sort of variables, precedents, or PoD's would be required for Portugal to gain a set of colonies connecting Angola to Mozambique, during the Scramble for Africa?

So, the challenge here is to have Spain and Portugal unite politically, with a PoD after 1640. Bonus points if you manage to create a republican Iberian Union.

CASTILLA PROTESTANTE 1369: After years of intense stalemate a treaty was reached where Enrique de Trastamara would become King Enrique de Léon, Galicsua, i Extrematuaré and Pedro el Justo would Become King Pedro de Castilla, Murcia, y La Mancha. With this treaty the Kingdom of Castilla y Léon...

Hey again everyone! Time to kick off something I've wanted to try out, which is to have multiple PODs mashed together and see how it goes. Though I still want to be within the realms of probability in choosing my PODs. So firstly, there's a new country in Europe. Norway, who becomes an...
