Who is that? a fascist friend of yours?
I was trying to make a point about people on this forum asking simple questions which a quick Google search would answer. Not sure how that makes me a fascist.

That link leads me to a facebook profile, and then a blog by a self described neo-fascist.
If the question is if Great Britain will let Portugal keep the land between Portuguese East Africa and Portuguese West Africa with everything in the same circumstances the answer is no.
But if you change a few things, If Portugual Pedro V dies not die in 1861 the country could of had a chance of developing and becoming a stronger country which could of resulted in it receiving the lands in the scramble for Africa.
The other aspect is on the British side you need someone else in charge of British government.
Else you can avoid the whole thing and just follow my TL then there will be no pink map, it was always green.
Do you have me on ignore? You just said exactly the same thing I said last page.

Really??? Must of been written in code. Sorry but I did see about if this or that but if the question is what has to happen to Portugal then the only thing is to change Portugal make it more capable of standing up to bullies like UK.
I don't think he needed to give up the whole Pink Map territory - just enough for a connector. .
That was pretty much what the Portuguese thought they would get too. After the "British ultimatum" in 1890 there were declarations of members of the Portuguese government claiming that the Pink Map was never intended to be fully claimed, but instead it was supposed to be used as a base of negotiation. The Portuguese would accept to give Matabeleland to Britain, but they wanted the area in the South of Lake Niassa and the highlands of Manica, both to ensure the possibility of connection Mozambique and Angola through this corridor as also to secure to Portugal most of the navigable area of Zambeze River.
