Back in the 1800's, Portugal attempted to claim sovereignty over Zimbabwe and Zambia. They wanted to unite their colonies of Mozambique and Angola. The British threatened to blockade Mozambique if they didn't stop.

What if, afraid of reprisals from Republican politicians and activists, the King of Portugal attempted to go ahead with the plan? The British blockade Mozambique, and after a series of battles successfully annex it.

The King is deposed in the Portuguese revolution a few years late; and British and Portuguese relations are at an all time low.

What happens next?
