Greetings all!
Following the discussion on decolonisation the following idea came up to my mind. What if instead of trying to integrate both Angola and Mozambique, Portugal grants independence to Mozambique but keeps and try very hard to fully integrate Angola into some kind of Lusitanian Union?
In terms of economic potential Angola was clearly a lot more valuable than Mozambique, chiefly because of the oil, iron and diamonds deposits. The territory was closer to home too and surrounded by more or less friendly regimes unlike Mozambique.
Ideally I would like to get a post WW2 POD, even better if its coupled with a clear and honest reassment of the colonial policies (it only happened in 1961 once the wars of independence started OTL). Say Portugal grants Mozambique to South African stewardship in exchange for more help from the western Allies post war?
