  • Lisbon, Portugal, November 30th, 1807. Napoleon’s troops have entered the city, and the unthinkable
    has happened. The House of Braganza has fled! Ships that carry the queen and prince regent can be seen in the distance and the whole court has abandoned the heart of their empire. Fleeing into exile and reestablishing its rule in its wildest and largest imperial territories, Brazil.

      Of course, this is likely because american control of the panama canal has forced people into making this distinction, but regardless, this is now the default linguistic device in english to describe the continents.
      "America" as a singular term for the continent is now largely considered archaic outside of the continents themselves. Whether this is fair or not is opinion, but "the americas" is now considered the correct term.

    Can’t wait for them to talk about Dom Pedro II, not only was he arguably one of histories greatest emperors, but a man of great learning and a man who truly cared for his people, not to mention he abolished slavery alongside his daughter in a time when few Brazilians were opposed to the institution.

      In addition to that, as of this date, his memory and legacy is still remembered in Brazil. For some - me included - there is the opinion that he was the best governor/ruler of Brazil of all time. (Disclaimer: I am not a monarquist). In a Brazillian version of '100 greatest briton' - but for brazillians, ofc - he ranked 30th. In a nation that lacks good education, they still remembered what he did and his importance.

      D. Pedro I is my all time favourite, i am aware of the long life and achievements of Pedro II (I am portuguese), but in my opinion the life of Pedro I is the most astonishing. How can someone from great priveledge, stay in Brazil and fight for their independence and then leave and fight in the muddy trenches in Portugal where he got tuberculosis that ultimatly killed him. He wrote to brazilian claiming his blood was the same as the slaves , when asking for the freedom of these. Royalty of the time wouldnt compare themselves to that in any effect.
      He was the liberator of 2 countries, and one of those that against self interest fought for the freedom of everyone everywhere he went.

    The Knightmares would have been called Conquistadores.
    As for Lelouch and Nunnaly, I believe they would have been named Pedro and Ines respectively. As a reference to another story of a Prince who rebelled against his father for said father's mistreatment of a woman the prince loved.

    It's worth noting that Portugal and England (And so Britain after the Act of Union) had been allies for a long long time. Alignment with Spain and France might have helped in the short term, but how long would they really have cared about Portugal's interests? Especially Spain, which had consistently been a threat to Portugal since it's founding, and really even before that.

      If several decade ago, the house aviz had been successful and inherited the Castilian and Aragonese crown rather than the Habsburg Charles the Iberian union would probably be more successful.
