Just an idea I had. not sure whether the PoDs necessary would fall into pre-1900 or not, so I just put it here for simplicity's sake:
We've discussed before how close places like Argentina, Chile, and Brazil were at the turn of the 20th century from becoming proper First World countries. Is there any chance that, if they had done better historically, they could have participated in the colonization of Africa, as a sort of "vanity project" to show how far they'd come? The obvious example would be Brazil somehow taking Angola from Portugal, but what about others? Perhaps Argentina could set up shop somewhere near Namibia? What do you think?
