A quote from author Augusto de Lima Jr. caught my eye as a possible AH opportunity. In regards to the vast sum of gold the British recieved from the mines of Brazil.
"...aided the great banking network that built international trade and made possible to raise the living standard of peoples capable of progress... the expansion of colonizing imperialism which ignorant people today, inspired by their Moscow masters, describe as a crime"
My Challenge to you is have a Cold War between a British Empire allied with Brazil vs. a Communist Russia with a POD after 1900.
