Ok, I have used the following ATL text two times before in a flag and a map challenge. My question is, especially since it is my first ATL I made up:
Does it make a bit of sense and could it be worthwhile to start exploring this ATL?
[FONT="]The República da Costa Selvagem started out when the colonial regions of the Portuguese on the South American continent were divided into 16 captaincies* by King Henry II around 1535. Together with Pernambuco and São Vicente, the Costa Selvajem captaincy (during that period known as Novo Andalusia) was one of the few that became succesfull, largely due to large sugarplantations.[/FONT]
[FONT="]In the beginning of the 17th century the Portuguese established a more centralised government and divided the territory into 3 Estados: the Estado do Maranhao, the Estado do Brazil and the Estado do Novo Andalusia (the latter incorporating present-day Costa Selvajem).[/FONT]
[FONT="]In the 18th century the Estados were re-organised again as 4 Grand-Duchies: Costa Selvajem, Sao Paulo, Maranhao and Pernambuco.[/FONT]
[FONT="]At the start of the 19th century the Portuguese homelands were conquered by the Emperor Louis I (of the House Davout) of France during the Grand Western Wars. During this period, instigated by the Frismarkians and Saxons, 2 of the 4 viceroyalties rose in revolt. After a short but brutal civil war, the viceroyalties of Maranhao and Costa Selvajem declared independance as the United Atlantic States.[/FONT]
[FONT="]A couple of decades after the Great Continental War in South America (1901-1905), the people of the Costa Selvajem region opted for independence through a referendum.
[/FONT]* The Tordesillas Line lays more to the West than in OTL.
