Argentina of the East: A European Taiwan

Argentina of the East

I wanted to create a scenario or a timeline about a Taiwan dominated by whites instead of Chinese people, an Island of White people near China.
 
So where are all the whites going to come from? Why will they come to Taiwan instead of the Americas?

They both come from the Americas(Spanish settlers from mexico and Portuguese settlers from Brazil) and directly from Europe(Dutch, Portuguese,English and Spanish settlers) there will be black, filipino,japanese and han population but they do not predominate in Taiwan but it is not just a white taiwan there will be Mestizos as well dominating.

This Timeline is a part of the Valois TL I am brewing so don't be shocked if the things about Taiwan and the references to the Valois TL are here

A dynastic marriage of two countries
Laila Mechanai of Sulu becomes a second wife of Lakan Gambang of Tondo Dynasty and his young daughter from his previous wife, Dayang Kaylangitan marries the future Sultan of Sulu, Muizul-Mutawadi-in in order to secure an allegiance with Sulu and Tondo because of that Laila Mechanai becomes a Buddhist while Dayang Kaylangitan becomes a muslim because of her marriage to the Sultan of Sulu, after the marriage Laila Mechanai becomes pregnant instantly bearing a male heir to the Tondo Dynasty named Jayadewa who later became Jayadewa II, Brunei is threatening to invade Tondo and Sulu and turn it to their territory,so they ally with Malacca, Brunei tries to invade Sulu and had already occupied by Bruneians and it’s ruler Muizul-Mutawadi-in goes to Malacca to ask for help and armies from Malacca stormed Borneo, destroying the rising power of Brunei, Lakan Jayadewa II married a Burmese princess and lived a long life and managed to sire a heir named Jayadewa III, Jayadewa II was known for his strong will and will to survive and reform his Empire and encouraged the building of Buddhist temples in his domains including the remote areas of the Island of Manila.

Start of Nihonese Unification
Fusahito of Nihon(Go Tsuchimikado) decided to reunite Nihon and re-establish authority over Nihon in 1480 , it was the policy of Fusahito to battle the over powering vassals in the same way as Philippe Auguste of France whose policy is to stop the vassals from claiming too much power in Nihon which is a threat to the Yamato Dynasty.
It was in his time when Nihon started to be a centralized state that Nihon started to be a power in East Asia because of his attempts in centralizing Nihon and he battled with over powering vassals that attempted to rule Nihon in place of the emperor which caused Nihon to be in a state of war in the last part of his reign and because of that he is known to be an iron fisted emperor that ruled Nihon.
Katsuhito, his son was married to young Princess Taikang of China to make the relationship between china and Nihon better, Princess Taikang was renamed Princess Oyuki in Nihon and become his primary empress consort when she fully grew up on 1510.
Princess Oyuki and Katsuhito have a son in 1515 named Tetsuhito and Katsuhito rose as Go-Kashiwabara Tenno of Nihon who continued his father’s policies and annexed Okinawa and made it’s King a mere Daimyo, however Queen Oyuki is very promiscuous and had many sexual relationships with the daimyos close to the Tenno.

Political Migrants
Princess Oyuki and Katsuhito have a son in 1515 named Tetsuhito and Katsuhito rose as Go-Kashiwabara Tenno of Nihon who continued his father’s policies and annexed Okinawa and made it’s King a mere Daimyo because of this Okinawans migrate to Taiwan and establish communities .
In the reign of Lakan Jayadewa II in 1515 some people from the Island of Manila migrate to the Orchid Island and the population there increases that the people from the Island of Manila had migrated to Taiwan.

Difficulty in the East Indies
Sharif Muhammad Kabungsuan, a Malay from Johor marries a Mindanaoan noble woman and becomes the Sultan of Maguindanao, he preached Islam in the mainland Mindanao and he defeated the Spanish conquistadors who attempted to conquer Mindanao.
Lapu-Lapu’s troops were defeated by Magellan and the rulers of Butuan and Cebu were easily convinced by the Spanish to be governed by them and recognize the Spanish King , Juan of Asturias as their ruler and Magellan tried to go to Mindoro but was kicked out by the Navies of Tondo and he winded up to Vietnam and eventually finding Taiwan and Hainan in Hainan he encountered the same experience in Mindoro and Magellan came back to Spain to tell about his experiences, Jayadewa II and Muizul-Mutawadi-in II knew about these changes and the ruler of Maguindanao knew also of this so they decided to guard their borders and strengthen their trade restrictions and they strengthened their relations with Malacca and China and in this time the Chinese immigrants to South East Asia increased changing the genetic composition of South East Asia.
Jayadewa II had Jayadewa III marry a korean noble woman in 1550, which was to improve the relationship of Joseon of Yi Hwan and Tondo of Jayadewa II, Visayas was completely subjugated by the Spanish in the expedition of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi. Jayadewa II created a fiefdom in the south of Manila with Limahong as the ruler to create a buffer state called Batangan in the Southern part of the Island of Manila.
Because of Magellan a colony was found in Taiwan and it was used in the Santiago-Acapulco trade
Sulu attacks the Spanish Visayas that some of the people there wanted to find a home and they found Taiwan or Hermosa as their home as well as the Christians of Maluku who were persecuted found their home in Taiwan which was named Hermosa a part Juaniñas which is Visayas and Taiwan.

What's the reason behind these settlers from Mexico and Brazil leaving their homes and going to some island near China?

French and Ottoman raids against the Spanish dominions in Mexico and Brazil...The French and Ottomans found Colonies in Americas as well.
 
Since when they have the capacity?

Also, I don't understand why is my country in the name, please explain:)

Because it is similar or identical to argentina socially and racialy because it is predominantly white, it will be similar to Argentina but very different to United States and it speaks Spanish.


Since when did the Ottomans have the interest in having colonies in the Americas? Pray tell.
I plan on North Africa being occupied by Ottomans for Hundreds of Years and even occupies OTL Mali,Nigeria and Guinea.

You mean Europeans will asimilate the local population to the point just some features of them remain?
 
The Ottomans certainly had the naval technology to go to the Americas, they were just bottled up in the Mediterranean by the Iberians...which begs the question: Would this not require a POD where the Ottomans, who were more advanced than the Iberians in many ways at the time, dominate the colonization of the Americas as opposed to the, far smaller, Iberians and equally small French and British? Would this not make Taiwan, in your TL, end up as an Ottoman colony in East Asia, not a western one?

The Ottomans are not going to use up all the timber in Morocco or Algeria to construct a fleet to sail to the New world. It's as simple as that. The Ottomans are not going to go to the New World under any circumstances as they already have their hands tied with a whole bunch of enemies, and there is nothing for them in North America.

Besides, what's there in the new world they can't get at home, or india, or Africa?
 
The war of Ottomans, Navarre, England, Scotland and France versus Castile, Burgundy, Brittany and Aragon and the new colonies
Isabella of Castile dies in 1506 because she was assassinated by the sympathizers of the Valois Dynasty and La Beltraneja because of the Castillan inheritance of Valois, Joanna la Betraneja married Charles VIII and was a mistress of Louis, the Spider King, Charles VIII and Dauphin Henry declared a war on Castille and Charles VIII declared himself the King of Castille and France and he allied with the Ottomans, Castile and Burgundy treated it as a threat, and they are surrounded by the Ottomans and the French and the war became very bloody and a treaty was concluded granting anything north of Ebro to France, Anne of Brittany and John of Castille only had a daughter named Claudia born June 6 1493 and Claudia married Charles I of Great Britain, the grandson of Elisabeth of York, James IV, La Betraneja and Louis the Universal Spider in 1515 with Charles being a 16 year old and Claudia being a 23 year old, the marriage produced many children Elisabeth, Charles, Eleanor and Anna their children became very marriageable but because James and Claudia had only one son a war of succession started again and the children of Claudia and Charles were disinherited from Castile and Valencia after the death of John I of Spain because Charles I of England and Scotland gave the Spanish inheritance in 1560 to Portugal instead of keeping it to his own line at the death of John I of Spain.
At the reign of John I Spain many colonies were discovered and that included Mexico, Joaninia(OTL Louisiana), Visayas and Taiwan(Hermosa) and because of that the Santiago-Acapulco trade started which enriched spain giving them the richness of the new colonies.


Note:
*In this timeline Mary of Burgundy married Francis II of Brittany.
*Spain south of Ebro merges with Portugal eventually or Portugal becomes a part of Spain.
*Portugal has no Asian trade at this timeline, they were defeated in Goa in this timeline.
*France and Spain are enemies in this timeline and importantly the Valois survive to the present.
*France colonizes land in the americas earlier.
