Could we get a map?

Also good work.

Any big events on the horizon? ie. Major power collapse, or global conflict?

I'm working on a map, but I want to wait until after the next Africa update to post it.

As for major events I think I'll keep that a little close to the vest.

Sorry about the long delay, I've been working on a couple of research intensive TLs (A Storm Unending and From Blight we Rise) as well as taking three fairly study intensive history classes (Ancient World History, Multi-Cultural History, US History 1877-Present) and two english courses. There won't be update tonight, but I promise an update tomorrow.

The Empire of Kongo​


Before there was the Empire of Kongo there was the Kingdom of Kongo. With an oral history going all the way back to the late 14th century the Kingdom had a history of ups and downs; its interaction with the Portuguese of the centuries had led its becoming a predominantly Catholic nation, but had also led to several defeats at Portugal’s hands. The fall of Portugal left Kongo in a unique position. The rise of the clans became noticeable in the 1850s at the end of the reign of Henrique II. In 1865, two potential kings emerged to contest the succession following the death of the previous rule death. Álvaro XIII and Pedro V both laid claim to the throne. Pedro looked to Brazilian Angola for support, but found the Brazilians unable to assist due to the financial restraints brought on by their war with their southern neighbor. Without financial and military support Pedro was vanquished by this rival Álvaro XIII. Using Pedro’s attempt to gain support from Brazil as a pretext, Álvaro looked to consolidate his rule over Kongo by pushing the Brazilians out of historic Kongolese land. With the Brazilian empire concentrating its resources to assert power in its home continent little to no funds and troops could be allocated to fight the Kongolese attack on north Angola. After a quick war the Brazilians treated with Álvaro and surrendered part of north Angola to him. With victory supporting him Álvaro made a move to crush the clans and assert his imperial rule over all of Kongo. Though it would be another decade before he would get the guns needed to crush the clans he would eventually accomplish his goal. After defeating the clans Álvaro declared himself emperor and looked to the Americas and to Europe for financial aid to modernize his Empire.​
