I overlaid Dutch Brazil over a map a bit ago, getting this:
My question is concerning its future. Let's say Portugal and the Netherlands get peace, and Portugal accepts this loss in Brazil. I'm assuming it grows over to Belem, and follows the river, and absorbs down to Maranhao and Piaui, cedes the territory south of the river (OTL Sergipe), but otherwise stays north of South America's San Fransisco River as part of the peace settlement.
Would this territory stay part of the Netherlands? Would it be majority Dutch-speaking Africans today? Could it be a viable settler colony for Dutchmen?
