| - 1557, English claimed the Brazilian coast down to OTL Recife. The area was called Braseal, after the Brazilwood. In 1565, another English expedition reached Cape Hoorn from the east. The area south of the equator stayed barely settled, though. 1572/73, yet another English expedition explored the area of the river Amazon, reaching Tawantinsuyu (the Inca empire) from the East. In 1628 however, the Triple Monarchy of England-Castille-Portugal fell apart, and their barely developed colonies in Braseal and Argentine got out of control. Now Sweden feared that France might grab Braseal, so they occupied it instead in 1633. But in 1657, after king Humphrey I had won the first English Civil War, Sweden agreed to give Braseal back to England, in exchange for an alliance. The country was in a very bad state; diseases and attacks of Atlantean tribes had decimated the population, many plantages had disappeared in the sprawling jungle, cities had shrunk to the size of villages. During the next 100 years, many new cities were founded and plantages for tobacco, sugar and later rubber created. In 1659, England founded Stafford City at the site of OTL Recife, (re-)starting the colonization of Braseal and Argentine. 1675, the City of Paradise was founded at the site of OTL Rio de Janeiro. Since the French revolution, and especially after the fall of Spain, many French and Spaniards settled in the country, making up about one third of the free population in 1800. Their number further grew after Italy / New Rome gobbled up the formerly French and Spanish colonies in Atlantis, which lead to conflicts with the English elites and old settlers. The conquest of the Inca empire by New Rome brought another group of refugees, who mostly settled in the mountains of the South. And after the Canadian Revolutionary War, British loyalists from there fled to Braseal too.
