Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, etc., were PORTUGUESE COLONIES! The only time the Spanish and Portuguese empires were joined was from 1580 - 1640 - that's it. Other than those 60 years, the Spanish and Portuguese empires were separate. And 1930? 98% of the Spanish empire was dissolved in the 1820s, certainly not at its height in 1930This map is completely false and offensive!! It is meant to be exploring how history would have gone in another historical direction, if key events were different to what they were in reality.
