I've been wondering about an ATL where European nations (primarily Britain, France, Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal) get a different colonies than the OTL, both in Old and New World...
Just for examples:
- France conquering Aztecs and Incas, thus colonizing OTL Mexico and Peru, while Spain colonizing North America and England colonizing OTL Brazil
- Nigeria as Spanish colony, South Africa as French colony, while Madagascar as Dutch colony
- Phillipines settled by French while Australia settled by Spanish
I'm not talking about the world or global developments, but the internal conditions of the colonized nations themselves...
What would be the political, social, and cultural differences (other than the languages, of course) if one nation is colonized by different European power...?
