The focus of my thread is very much in Europe. However, I want to keep the globe abreast of the situation in Europe, and am trying to create a map for 1840ish.
Here is what I have so far. The purple in the Philippines and such is a problem area for me, as I am not well informed about the colonial situation of this area other than who was the colonizing power at a certain point. Mexico, French Guiana, Cuba, and the Small African Colony are part of a sort-of 'Bourbon' Empire that's supported by the British and the Swedish. Brazil is the Portuguese-in-exile, also supported by the British and Swedish.
Great Britain is more of an aggressive colonizer, as is Russia. The USA bought Mexican land from Napoleon II than rolled over the Bourbons to get it. The US also negotiated with Britain over Canadian land claims.
I really need help to see if this is legit.
